Forrest J. Ackerman - R.I.P.

Affectionately known as "Forry" to legions of horror and sci-fi fans (he coined the term "sci-fi" as well as created the character Vampirella), Ackerman passed away at age 92. He published the classic "Famous Monsters of Filmland" magazine and also owned the world's largest private collection of genre memorabilia.

I saw him in a bit part in a movie just last week.

Thanks to Dustbury for the pointer to this sad news.
