Mark your calendars because we got one hell of an event coming up. Be here for The Monster Art of Basil Gogos Launch Party on September 12th from 6 to 8 PM. Celebrate one of the legends of horror illustration. Meet Basil’s wife and author of this amazing release, Linda Touby along with with publisher Tom Skulan of FantaCo and book designer Jim Whiting, and get your copy autographed!
“An exquisite, super deluxe softcover, full color collection of Basil Gogos’ wonderful monster sketches, illustrations and paintings! Over 200 lavish pages of rare art compiled and annotated by Basil’s long time life partner, Linda Touby. This softcover book is like nothing you have ever seen before. We will show you the careful steps Basil took to prepare his famous paintings. The art comes from Basil’s private studio files and almost nothing has been seen before.”

Matt D has been a manager, buyer and event coordinator at Forbidden Planet since 2005 or maybe it was 2006. Who can remember? We didn't even have computers back then. A native New Yorker from the borough of Queens, raised on Sunday Funnies, Monster Movies and Rock N' Roll. What better place to end up than Forbidden Planet where he can use his position to influence the city's pop culture. A responsibility he takes seriously more now than ever due to New York's consistent change for the worse. The last thing NYC needs is another cafe or bank so thank whatever it is you believe in that Forbidden Planet is here to stay. Beyond the walls of FP, Matt is a publicly recognized expert in cult and horror cinema with a focus on VHS. He is the founder of Horror Boobs a collective that books screenings and distributes weirdo films, the producer of the documentary Adjust Your Tracking: The Untold Story of the VHS collector, the publisher of the Blood Video zine, and is regrettably responsible for resurrecting the career of schizophrenic Shot-on Video director Carl J Sukenick.
