Sci Fi Clan

I just watched the documentary Sci Fi Boys and have concluded…. I am a sci fi boy (well, girl).  These amazing pioneers of special effects and makeup were talking about the amazing magazine Famous Movie Monsters and I somehow had never heard of this vintage gem. Oh, how I would have loved to read those growing up. The way that these folks talked about their draws to old, ridiculous movie monsters and how they would watch it because the creatures were the “stupidest looking things ever”, made me realize that I am not alone in my intrigue. There was a part where an announcer was describing how to make a monster: masking tape, ketchup, wadded-up gum. I died, and somehow came more to life. Here’s to the nerds, monster lovers, and creative minds of the world. I salute thee.
