2018-05-06 — RIP, Rory Monteith

John O'Callagan, author of the book Simians & Serialism, emailed me yesterday to tell me about the tragic, unexpected death of Rory Monteith on March 30, 2018. Rory was a major presence in the Yahoo! pota and potadg groups for the past twenty years or so. He posted under the name "Haristas." John wrote: I was lucky enough to spend time with him last May when he accompanied me on the journey of a lifetime, when we located and visited several Planet of the Apes locations in Utah untouched by man (or ape) since the crew left in May 1967. Rory was very generous, extremely bright, possessed a razor-sharp wit and was devoted to Planet of the Apes from the time he was 8 years old. I'll miss him. Rory in front of the "Rock Pool" at Malibu Creek State Park (aka Fox Ranch) on May 26, 2017. Photo by John O'Callaghan. (Click on the image to view a high-res version.) John is currently writing his new book, Location! Location! Location!, which recounts in vivid detail and photos his and Rory's trip to Utah and Arizona last year on the 50th anniversary of the start of shooting on Planet of the Apes. RIP, Rory.

Return to Hunter's Planet of the Apes Archive We're back!!! On the evening of Tuesday, March 13, 2018, the server hosting the archive suffered a fatal disk crash, wiping out everything. It took a few days, but everything has been restored! And to celebrate the return, I've also added CBZ versions of most of the articles found on the Magazines page! If you're not familiar with CBZ files, they're really just Zip files containing JPG files. The special .cbz extension is recognized and read by various CBZ/CBR display programs. One such free program for Windows is CBR Reader.
