Very cool Tim! Dave McRobie did a great piece in Famous Monsters Of Filmland last year entitled "Attack Of The Sprocket Monsters" It was a great article and with Dave's permission I referenced it at my Super 8 Kaiju Monster Movie Marathon at
G-Fest (Godzilla Fest) last summer.

I'll be doing it once more with "The Son Of The Super 8mm Monster Movie Marathon in Chicago once again this coming July.

There are a lot of Godzilla/Sci-Fi/Kaiju fans out there that still have a giant soft spot fot the 8mm films AND the box art!

What was the nature of that article, I didn't get to see it?

Isn't that funny, I had no idea (and in full color no less). Was it redundant to the one I did with SCREEM in content? They called their feature "KING OF THE CASTLE"

No way! I think it's awesome and it's great that you did it!

There are sooooo many monster/sci-fi fans that collected movies as kids be it from Castle, Ken, Collectors Club or even Captain Company (ETC ...) that haven't seen the 8mm films and their cool box art for years.

I have box art frames that I bring to G-Fest for my 8mm Monster Movie Marathon and these guys just freak, chances are that'll probably happen with your article in SCREEM!

As far as I'm concerned, you can't have too many stories out there about collecting film and I'll buy a copy for that reason alone! Maybe I could reference YOUR article in July!

Way To Go!

Hi Timothy
Could you tell me which issue of FAMOUS MONSTERS Attack of the Sprocket Monsters appears in?
Thanks
Paul
