Creature Features and Dietz team up for the "VinCentennial!"
Coming Soon! Taylor White of the legendary CREATURE FEATURES shop is teaming up with Frank to publish the first NEW "Sketchy Things" sketchbook in four years. "VinCentennial" celebrates the 100th birthday of horror legend Vincent Price. Filled with quotes about the actor from dozens of writers, directors, actors and artists, and completely illustrated by Frank, it is sure to be a collector's item. Available in May 2011.
Zombie Nightmare arrives on DvD!
Frank's first starring role finally comes to DVD. ZOMBIE NIGHTMARE is now available from Scorpion Releasing. Also starring Adam West, Tia Carrere, John Fasano, Jon-Mikl Thor and Shawn Levy, this infamous cult classic is loaded with fun extras. Besides brand new interviews with Frank and John Fasano, there is a full-length audio commentary featuring Frank, John and Thor, which is more entertaining than the movie itself!

Shout! Factory releases The Lost Skeleton Returns Again on DVD! Available at Amazon.com NOW! Obey The Skeleton! THE LOST SKELETON RETURNS order on Amazon Frank stars in the much-anticipated sequel to 2004's cult comedy THE LOST SKELETON OF CADAVRA. Like the original, this follow-up lovingly spoofs the sci-fi films of the 1950's. Returning are writer-director and star Larry Blamire, Fay Masterson, Brian Howe, Jennifer Blaire, Dan Conroy, Robert DeVeau, Andrew Parks and Susan McConnell. Added to the cast are myself, Kevin Quinn, Daniel Roebuck and veteran character actor HM Wynant. I play "Reet Pappin," a Government guy who enlists the help of Betty Armstrong to find her husband, Science guy Dr. Paul Armstrong, who has been missing for two years. This leads them to the Amazon, and the search for a valuable rock. But there are other forces at work, trying to get to that rock first...including The Lost Skeleton! Check out THE LOST SKELETON RETURNS AGAIN official website, featuring photos and trailers from the film!

FRANK'S GALLERY SHOW A HUGE HIT!
The exhibit showcased my oil paintings, but there were many of my caricatures on display as well.
Boris Karloff, Bela Lugosi, the Chaneys, Vincent Price
and many other classic horror icons were represented, as well as the
sci-fi films of the 1950's and the incredible creatures of Ray
Harryhausen.
The opening night party featured music, wine and
other interesting concoctions. Among the guests who showed up to
celebrate were KATHY BURNS, artists BERNIE WRIGHTSON and WILLIAM
STOUT, author DAVID J. SCHOW, directors TOM HOLLAND and KENNETH J. HALL,
producer TED NEWSOM, publisher JESSIE LILLEY, writers TERRY PACE, BILL
WARREN and RICHARD HARLAND SMITH, production designer ANTHONY TREMBLAY
and Dr. Acula himself, FORREST J. ACKERMAN!
