The Tuesday Top 10: Favorite Famous Monsters of Filmland Covers

I recently had the pleasure of rediscovering that great watershed publication of geek culture, Warren Publishing's Famous Monsters of Filmland. Basically, this mag, under the guidance of the one and only Forrest J. Ackerman, epitomized the "fun" approach to horror that I hold so dear to my heart. A large part of this was due to the vivid, amazing covers by brilliant artist Basil Gogos. Join me this week as I take a nostalgic trip through the FM archives to look at some of the most memorable....
