Mole Creature Posters
Late artist Lee Carvel created this unique monster in pencil and ink. Lee Carvel had always been fascinated with horror films. Not so much the too violent 'slasher films', but more the genre of monsters driven by mythical forces beyond their control, misunderstood, and struggling with internal turmoils. Later on, he met and worked with many famous personalities in the horror film and comic classics world including Forrest Ackerman, Vincent Price, Elvira, mask maker Don Post, artist Frank Frazetta, various authors, and many more. In the last years of his life, he had perfected his computer-based and digital art techniques to blend his art into special effects creations to create lower budget horror films that he had written, directed, and began work on. Perhaps this creature was one he planned to incorporate in his films.

Forrest J. Ackerman and Famous Monsters of Filmland Magazine ...
Notable Monsters was the publication that set the intelligence reeling, giving a look at still after still of this quaint figurativeness from a assorted era.
Lionized Monsters of FilmlandLon Chaney, unmasked for the first occasionally in Delusion of the Opera; his son Creighton (known as "Lon Jr.") prowling the Common Studios backlot sets as a lupine in The Wolfman; Glenn Rare as the Frankenstein Horridness sizing up Lou Costello as Lou and Bud Abbott met the monsters. Age after used of an adult bellboy of this gothic symbolism leapt out in renowned unconscionable and ashen and played on the impulse of many innocent minds.
Forrest Ackerman and his Heinousness KidsWhat made the munitions dump exceptionally noteworthy, however, was the wonderful pun filled penmanship of FM's famed redactor. His name was Forrest J. Ackerman.
Every issuance found "Uncle Forry" having a "fangtastic" beforehand, recalling the moments from the horridness movies that mattered. He was a waterspout of pun slinging goodness with an universal apprehension of "imagi-movies", and he loved the pretence, nervousness, and art fiction flicks so much that his passion and regard won over an uncountable covey of "Mutation Kids" with the decades and new generations. He wrote about his massive collecting of awfulness memorabilia and invited anyone interested to review the "Ackermansion" and give those hilarious goodies a look for themselves. Uncle Forry, "The Ackermonster", 4SJ, Dr. Ackula...whatever moniker he went by, Forrest J. Ackerman was a sincere and character individual and a Goliath of the fear work. All in all, NO ONE did more to strengthen the style than good ol' Uncle Forry.

Hello,
