FMOF Monster Files: Triple Feature

I'm quickly running out of October. So to fit in all of the Monster Files this month I'm gonna feature several of them in the same post.

A great big thank you to my brother Scott and Mike Scott from the Monster Magazines blog for their help in gathering all of these Monster Files.

FMOF Monster Files: HOBBIT

I didn't originally plan to share two Monster Files in a row, but I had problems with the post I was working on for today and this one was ready to go.

FMOF Monster Files: ROC

Back in the late 70s, 'Famous Monsters of Filmland' had a page near the back of the magazine called Graveyard Examiner. It looked like a newspaper and featured small stories, puzzles and Monster Files. You were supposed to cut out the Monster Files and collect 'em all. Unfortunately I did just that.

By this time, FMOF had ditched a lot of the monster content and ramped up the sci-fi thanks to Star Wars. It didn't bother me at the time because I was (and still am) a huge fan of Star Wars. But, the older issues of FMOF are still the best.

I'll be posting a bunch of these this month, starting with this one from issue #145 July 1978 --
