Frankenstein From Space
We usually talk about movies that were actually filmed so I dont think this film has been talked about yet. A sketch or two and the plot were featured in an early issue of Famous Monsters and I think...

Yes, it is in #3. Here's what's there (sorry about any typos): The year is 1975. The place, the Swiss Alps. The people: Dr. Thomas Frenken, a famous surgeon; his charming European wife, Marlene; and...

Don't I also recall Forry ballyhooing some Old All Star's pic, to feature Rathbone's return to the role of Holmes, Boris as Jack the Ripper, etc.? THE SCARAB!!! Forry mentioned this in several of his...

The author of the screenplay (screen treatment?) for Forry's "Frankenstein from Space"? C'est moi. Apparently one copy of the script has survived and is being offered for sale by Royal Books in the...

I remember reading the story in FM & thought it was incredibly amateurish & juvenile. My opinion of it hasn't changed in all these years. There's a reason no movie studio even considered...
