| Famous Monsters of Filmland (which quickly became known to fans as simply FM) was originally conceived as a one-shot publication with no discernible future, published in the wake of the widespread success of old horror movies syndicated to American television in 1957. But the first issue, published in February 1958, was so successful that it required a second printing to fulfill public demand and its future as part of American culture was immediately obvious. The success prompted spinoff magazines such as Spacemen, Famous Westerns of Filmland, Screen Thrills Illustrated, Creepy, Eerie and Vampirella. The magazine directly inspired the creation of many other similar publications in the ensuing years, most notably Castle of Frankenstein, Cinefantastique, Fangoria. In addition, hundreds, if not thousands, of FM-influenced horror, fantasy and science fiction movie related fanzines have been produced, some of which have continued to publish for decades, such as Midnight Marquee and Little Shoppe of Horrors.
