🧠 Famous Monsters of Filmland Issue No. 4 – Fun Facts First Ghastly Feature on Zacherley: This issue marked the first deep dive into the phenomenon of Zacherley, the ghoulish TV horror host from New York. FM dubbed him the “East Ghost’s” favorite fiend.

Headlines like “You Axed For It” and “Readers’ Die-Jest” became beloved staples. Printed by James Warren: This issue continued Warren Publishing’s mission to bring horror into the hands of monster kids everywhere—cheaply, brightly, and bloodlessly (but not without bite).

Club de Monstres: This issue continued promotion of the official FM fan club—complete with gags, member names, and that irresistible “join us, join us” tone. 35 Cents of Terror: Retailing at just 35¢, this issue is now a rare collector’s treasure—copies in great condition can fetch $200–$600 depending on grading. Cult Legacy: Many future filmmakers, musicians, and artists (like Stephen King, Kirk Hammett, and Rick Baker) cited early FM issues like this one as their spark of monstrous inspiration. Preserved by GDHS: This particular presentation of FM No. 4 is part of the archival work done by Grigsby Digital Home Studios (GDHS)—resurrecting the golden age of horror fandom for a new generation of monster lovers. https://famousmonsters.com/
