Three More of the “Halloween” Cast
Tuesday, January 29th, 2013
As some previous postings have mentioned, a recent Horrorhound Weekend show in Indianapolis was comprised mostly of actors and actresses from the Halloween franchise – which all centered around the appearance of Jamie Lee Curtis at the show. I attended on Saturday, November 17, 2012, and was happy to take advantage of meeting the bulk of those present. You’ve already seen the postings on Jamie Lee herself, as well as two of the actors who portrayed the original killer Michael Myers. This posting will feature three of the performers who had starred in the original 1978 classic Halloween film. Read the rest of this entry »
I’m embarassed to say that I didn’t know who Bruce Glover was at the time that he was announced to be a guest at the Hollywood Show on January 12, 2013. He was there as part of a reunion of James Bond related co-stars, girls, and villians – but I was mostly intrigued that he is the father of the iconic and unusual Crispin Glover.

I have already covered my two-plus encounters with drummer 
I never get tired of seeing the wrestlers that I enjoyed watching on television and occasionally checking out during live matches at Hara Arena. So it was fun to come upon yet another pair (they always seem to come in pairs, don’t they?) at the Fanboy Expo in Knoxville, Tennessee, on October 26, 2012. Since this event was so sparsely populated with fans on this particular day, I had my free reign to chat all I wanted with these guys. The first, and larger or the two, was Hillbilly Jim, who was lesser known by his real name Jim Morris. 
I had an ‘in’ when I met Linda Hamilton, and I was determined to get some special treatment as a result. She of course is best know to the general public as the character Sarah Connor in The Terminator and Terminator 2: Judgement Day. Some may also know her as Catherine Chandler in the TV series Beauty and the Beast. But what I knew that most of her typical fans don’t is a bit about her family history. In fact I used to date one of her relatives. My ex-girlfriend
