Overview

The collection of science fiction and fantasy memorabilia at the mansion of Forrest J. Ackerman is one of the wackiest you will ever behold. Accumulated over his years as editor and publisher of Famous Monsters of Filmland and other related magazines, the number of items at the Acker Mansion & Museum hovers around 400,000. Some notable specifics include Tribbles from the most popular Star Trek episode of all time, many original dinosaurs from King Kong and the vampire cape used in the original Hollywood film version of Dracula with Bela Lugosi.
