Want to make your own home an “Ackermansion”? Dark Horse and Famous Monsters present the legend himself in statue form!
Forrest J Ackerman, commonly known to fans as “Forry”, comes to life in this colorful 13” tall statue from Dark Horse. Forry was the creator, editor and principal writer for Famous Monsters of Filmland, and was also known for his “Ackermansion,” a sprawling house in Los Angeles that held his extensive horror book and memorabilia collection. As an agent, writer, editor, and actor, he had far-reaching influence in the science fiction, horror, and fantasy community.
The statue includes a nameplate on the base with one of Forry’s most popular nicknames, “Dr. Acula.”
Apparently a sequel (remake?) to Action International’s wonderfully-insane action flick, Deadly Prey, is in the works and will once again will star the legend himself, Mr. Ted Prior. In addition to Deadly Prey, B-movie fans will recognize Mr. Prior from such films as Killer Workout, Jungle Assault, and Future Zone.
The film (Deadliest Prey) is, according to IMDB.com, currently in post-production and will be out sometime later this year.
My reaction to this news:
F*** YEAH!!!
For those of you poor unfortunates who haven’t seen Deadly Prey, check out this week’s Cheesy Clip of the Week to get just a small sampling of its awesomeness. Great timing for that clip to be selected, wouldn’t you say? And a complete coincidence, as well. I have powers…
Now I really need to update my review of Deadly Prey from the old site. I’d love to just re-post the old version, but frankly it hurts my eyes to read it. I guess I’ve got some writing to do.
