Thumb Thru Thursday 8:35
Forry, billed as "the poor man's Vincent Price," knocks on John "Dracula" Carradine's door; Carradine greets him "You're early!", says "I'm not really a horror actor, you know," and that the closest a Carradine came to science was his mother, "a first-rate brain surgeon"; plus a Phantom photo Herbert Lom signed to the friends of Famous Monsters, Wallace Ford's farewell, and the Munsters' first feature
