In some ways, the original run of FAMOUS MONSTERS OF FILMLAND was like having your own, neighborhood monster club magazine. The easy-going banter and Forry Ackerman's alliterative puns all gave the sense that this was, indeed, the monster mag for us Monster Kids. In other words, it's voice was universal and it belonged to us. One feature, THE GRAVEYARD EXAMINER, even had pictures, want ads, fan drawings and other stuff both for and by FM's predominantly young readership.
Now, THE GRAVEYARD EXAMINER is back, this time as a digital newsletter to supplement the print edition of the latest incarnation of FAMOUS MONSTERS. And, while today it lacks the "monster club" feel of fan comraderie, it instead offers up plenty of the latest info on DVD's, comics, collectibles and more monster goodness.
