Forrest J. Ackerman is the world's greatest private collector of
memorabilia from horror films, science fiction epics, and monster movies. Mr. Ackerman, a pleasantly eccentric fellow, began his collection back in the late 1920's; after 60+ years he has amassed a staggering hoard of over 400,000 items. His collection fills his 18-room house in Griffith Park, which Forrest has transformed into a virtual museum of horror and sci-fi movies. Fans call it "The Ackermansion." Mr. Ackerman passed away on December 4, 2008, at age 92.
