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.

Whatever your opinion of Franklin Delano Roosevelt, I think we can all agree that his presidency was unlike any other. Logistically setting it far apart from any President before or since his administration was the simple fact that he was elected to four terms, which is two more than any other President ever would be.

It is little wonder that the public loved him so dearly to elect him even in the gravest of health, having never publically seen the man walk on his two polio-stricken legs. 
The rock band KISS, more than anything, defined several periods of my life, beginning as far back as first grade, at which time they were busy taking the world by storm. My fellow schoolmates and I lived, breathed, and ate KISS – collecting records, trading cards, t-shirts, and any other toy that could be marketed. I actually enjoyed the music too. This of course is why no matter who they put behind the make-up these days, KISS will always be Gene, Paul, Ace, and Peter. I accept no substitutes.
