244: Scarefesters

Hey, this is Danielle Harris. So I am now maybe, quite possibly, one of the newest members of Movie Meltdown. If I can ever actually get to the movies. But I'll review some old 80s rom-coms for you. See ya.

It had to be you. It had to be you I wandered around and finally found the somebody who. Could make me be true could make me be. It's showtime this episode is rated m for misty yes that's right this is a misty episode so it will be laced with profanity even more than usual if you're not comfortable with this level of profanity perhaps this isn't the episode for you but we have many other episodes to choose from that do not feature misty and will probably be far less offensive okay maybe That having been said, on with the show. Our nuclear reactor pumping out one million kilowatts of power.

What's up and welcome to Movie Meltdown. I'm Brian. I'm Lucy. I'm Jay. And I am Misty.

And we are coming to you live via. Digital recording from Casa de Lucy at. Do you have a better alternative title for your home? I don't. I probably should have been working on that in the 20 minutes I had before I realized you guys were coming here.

See, the sad thing is when I go to their house, they do have a title. This is the bastion of awesome. Oh, wow. How do I compete with that? You don't.

You guys are welcome to christen my home. Do you want to dub it something? I have not put any thought into this. I am as equally unprepared as Lucy is. The Lucy Lair of Lusciousness?

Oh. Sounds like you're a Bond villain. It does make it sound like a whorehouse, but otherwise, I like the alliteration. I'm sorry. Well, that's two whorehouse references we've had in the last couple weeks.

I like that during the art show, she had no idea cat house meant whore. She had no idea. Aw, that's precious. I used to work for an inventor who invented things that nobody wanted. I used to work for him.

He would invent things that nobody wants. He came up with a watch that told time by color. So you had to memorize all these colors to figure out what time it was. Anyway, he created something. It's green o'clock.

Exactly. He created a cat carrier called the Portapussy. He never knew that that was going to be problematic. And he's probably going to have problems claiming that name because I bet if you go into any adult shop, it's already there. All right.

So we are here taking over Lucy's house because we were in town and it just became the. Somewhat convenient location to stop off. So, hey, we are now invading Lucy's space. Sorry about that. We couldn't do it at the 99-cent burgers and shakes place because what did it smell like?

It smelled like a porta potty. I could not possibly fathom eating there. It was disgusting. I mean, their food is okay. Their shakes are delicious.

But for the love of God, it smelled like a porta potty. And not like a clean porta potty, if there ever was such a thing. But like the Kentucky State Fair after three days porta potty. That's what it smelled like. That's pretty bad.

Yeah, that's pretty bad. I was like, no, this is not going to happen. So we won't eat outside. We're going to rough it. We're going to eat outside on the picnic tables because we're hardcore like that.

And then we relocated to Lucy's for the recap. So where do we want to begin with our fun activities for this big scare fest weekend? Do you all need to start first? Because we weren't there on Friday. You all were there.

So do your stories need to go first? If we want to go chronologically, I guess we can. I think we should. I think that would be for the best interest of all parties. I don't have much from Friday, really.

I have a little from Saturday. We can go in that order. Friday, I don't know. I was there for their big kickoff, which was kind of weird. Maybe I just haven't gotten used to it or how it goes down, but everything else was awesome this weekend.

It's funny how many times during the weekend I would run into people from, that we see at other shows. And we kept going, wow, this one's really well run and kind of relaxed. And I kind of look forward to this one every year. So it's definitely a very different tone that goes on around there. Can we just discuss Patty and how adorable she is?

You do love me some Patty. I love me some Patty. She's just like a little sweetheart ray of sunshine. Like she's not somebody that I don't know. that you would imagine creating a paranormal and horror convention. You make her sound like I would hate her just because.

Or she's possibly a Disney character. Or a Care Bear from the description. But she also hunts ghosts, so she's kind of a badass. It's a ghost hunting Care Bear. Paranormal Bear?

She fart rainbows because that's kind of what I'm getting from this. I think Paranormal Bear is also available to go rent at your local adult shop. Anyway. And her husband wears a safari suit. At all times?

Yes. Interesting. Does he go on safari? I can't answer that question. I don't know.

These are the mysteries of life. And paranormal activities. What I did do Friday, I did briefly talk to Bruce Davison, and yeah, we can check that out. He had a lot going on, it seemed, so we'll see what we got with Bruce. Oh, Rich, I guess to get into it early, how early was it that you realized you were interested in performing?

In performing? Oh, geez. Well, I used to do Claude Raine's imitations of my little Bible stories to keep from. Going to bed. This is the story of David and Goliath.

And it would keep me... So, yeah, young, I guess. One of those kids that, yeah, was already trying to find a way to kind of work that to their advantage. Yes, I worked Aunt Delpha and let her say, oh, yeah, he should be in the moving pictures. He doesn't have to go to bed.

Well, at what point did that actually sink in and you started sort of taking that seriously? It still hasn't, I guess. I went to. College as an art major, and I got involved in theater. And that was the slippery slope from there at Penn State and ended up at NYU.

I've been looking for a job ever since, continually. Was it one of those? I mean, you were actually specifically setting out to do that as a career, or it just sort of happened along the way? Well, it just sort of happened, you know. For me, I think everybody who wants to do that should certainly have a backup plan because, you know, I'm out of work every week.

I guess to jump ahead a few years there, I guess, what do you think when you get handed the script for Willard? I didn't get handed a script. I had to go audition for it. Did you know what the movie was when you went in for the audition? Well, yeah.

Yeah, I auditioned at Paramount for Danny Mann, Daniel Mann, and I did a, a number of scenes from it, and then he said, well, you know, we've just got to make sure your co-star likes you. And he put a big rat on my shoulder and said, he likes you. He sniffed into my ear, and that was the end of that. Were you prepared to deal with the rat? Yeah, yeah.

I was young, you know, and hungry. And they were, I mean, they were like pets. They were well kept. Well trained, more than some of the other actors you worked with? Well, more than some of the producers and people like that, you know, the two-legged ones.

Definitely. I was just trying to go through some of the other fun titles, like Mother Jugs and Speed. That's an amazing cast there. Yeah, I had a great time with Bill Cosby. I remember one time we were waiting until 3 in the morning sometime, and there were all these kids always around him playing in the neighborhood.

And we were in an ambulance waiting to drive into the shot. And he said, come on, kids, I'm told, just get in. And I bet 20 kids, it became like a clown car to drive into this. The director didn't find that funny, but he was always doing stuff like that. And then, I guess, a really different turn as far as when you get to Longtime Companion.

Were you prepared, I guess, for the depths that was going to go, or... Even for the way that it was going to impact the culture at that time? It was a PBS television special, and I didn't think it would even get on the air. So you never know how things are going to turn out. Have people recognized you specifically for that in those years when that started? to become a lot more of an issue?

You know, there are all kinds of different films. I've done stuff for 45 years, people. Everybody has their favorites or the thing they hate the most, one of the two. And then, I guess, just X-Men. How did you get involved in that, and then what was the shooting like for both of those?

Brian Singer called me. I worked with him in a movie before, and he just said, come be in this, and that was it. The rest I did. Still seems like probably one of the ones most people know Senator Kelly from. It just kind of hit that pop culture so much.

Yeah. Any new projects you want to tell people about? Yes, I'm doing. I'm doing a new TV series for A & E called Those Who Kill with Chloe Zavigny and James Darcy and James Morrison. Thank you for talking to me.

Thank you. Willard is the story of a boy with some very unusual friends. Look at the rats. Willard takes good care of them. Yes.

Look at the rats. And they will do anything for Willard. Tear him up! No, Willard! No, Willard!

Willard, no! No, no, no, Willard! Willard! Where your nightmares end. Willard begins from Cinerama Releasing, rated GP, all ages, parental guidance.

It was one of the few times I was like, okay, because anymore I'm usually broke, and I've seen most of these people at these conventions 4,000 times. So I just, every once in a while, I'll get a photo or something signed, but it doesn't always happen anymore because I just don't have the money. And again, I see these people more than I do my family sometimes. so it's for the best but that one like it's one of those i missed the only other time we'd been somewhere where he was at and i just didn't have any money then so i was like okay if there's any way possible and the line isn't you know through the parking lot i'm gonna try to at least get him to sign something so i did go up there and i had a nice little discussion with him and it was all good he was actually in relatively good spirits i was i wasn't sure what to think with him you know he he seems like Sometimes his character kind of bleeds over, and you can't tell, because he plays some very harsh characters in his films.

So, yeah, I wasn't sure what to think. He was in pretty good spirits, I thought. My times with him, he seemed like he was in a good mood. I figured it would be for the best if I didn't talk to him because then I would talk about Suck and it would not go well because I hated that movie and no good things could come from it. Well, I mean, you're going to have a few off ones when you've done the number of films that he has.

I mean, it's amazing how many movies he's been. I went to the Q & A that he did on Saturday, which was supposed to be an hour-long Q & A. About 40 minutes in, he was like, I'm out, bitches, and just left. But he actually addressed that and was super candid about it, which I found really refreshing. He was just like, yeah, I've made some terrible movies.

It's just how it is. Did he specifically mention soccer? He did not, but it's safe to assume it was implied. Also generations. Even Star Trek fans don't like it.

It's funny to me how much they push that one in their promotion. I was like, really? It's like hardcore Star Trek. Fans don't like Generations. I don't know.

Which one's Generations? The one with both captains in it for some stupid reason. I don't know. Oh, yeah. The Nexus and Kirk and Picard.

I don't know. Now I remember. It took me a while to remember. It's got a big crash. That's cool, I guess.

But who cares? All right, so any other goings on? You were sort of flying solo on Saturday. I gave up on that one. So what was your activities on Saturday?

To be honest, I just popped in and popped out. Film slang was happening this weekend, so I had film slang obligations. So basically I rolled out of bed. And went down and watched Malcolm McDowell talk for 40 minutes, which is like how often do I get to say that happened in Lexington, Kentucky? So I walked in, saw that.

It was maybe half capacity, too. There really weren't a lot of people there to hear him talk. It was kind of amazing. I wish you guys had been there. He's sort of a bastard, but the most delightful bastard ever.

I thought he was going to make this one girl cry. He did warn people. At the very beginning, he said, ask questions, but they have to be intelligent questions. If they're not intelligent questions, then I'm not going to answer them. So, and he said it in a very sort of stern headmaster voice and we believed him.

And anyway, this girl stands up and she said, you know, I noticed there's a lot of similarity in your roles in If and A Clockwork Orange. And I was just wondering if your character in If informed your performance in A Clockwork Orange. And he looked at her like he wanted to murder her. And then he said, that. Is lazy comedy.

Wait, what did he say? That is lazy criticism. And everybody was kind of like, well, what? Did he just say that? And he was like, no, seriously, that is lazy criticism.

Where do you want me to start with how completely wrong you are? And then everybody was just like, oh, God. And you could tell that people were getting uncomfortable. He was like, no, no, no, no, no, it's fine. She's pretty.

She's going to be fine in life. But seriously, that was a terrible question. And then he just proceeded to talk about how it was the worst question ever and then talk about how different those roles and performances were. So she's wrong. Slam!

Yeah, but if you're going to be told how wrong you are, who better to tell you than Malcolm McDowell? I mean, seriously, if I don't like being told that I'm wrong, because I rarely ever am. But if I were to be wrong, I would prefer to be told by him, but then I would probably cry. He would be one of the two that would make me cry. Malcolm McDowell and the guy whose name I just forgot.

It was totally in my head. The guy we saw at the. Arlie Armey? Yeah. I was going to say Arlie Armey would probably make you, because you were scared to death of him.

I was like, oh my God, I don't want to talk to him. He's going to make me cry. And he was ridiculously nice. Yes, he was. Oddly enough, both worked with Kubrick.

Yeah, but, I mean, despite that moment, and many similar moments throughout the Q & A that were not, yeah, he was very charming in his streak of cruelty. I mean, everyone was laughing, and, you know, he's a great raconteur, and, yeah, he won us over. But he did. There were several people where he was just like, that can't possibly be a serious question. Did you ask him any questions?

I learned the lesson pretty early on. I was not going there. You should have come up with something really dumb. Just to test that theory. What is your favorite flavor of ice cream?

That's a good question, actually. That's not a stupid question. I feel like that's a good question. I think some people want. To know that.

I think so. If time was a color, what color. Would you be? Green o'clock. Green o'clock.

I bet that would have gone over well. Get out. And then he would have beat me to death with a microphone. If you had asked him immediately after that girl's question, he would have just pointed to the security and be like, get that person out of here. But you'd start it with, oh yeah, watch this.

You want to hear a stupid question. You want dumb. I'll take care of that. I will show you dumb like you have never seen before. Good times.

Saturday? Are we still on Saturday? We weren't there Saturday. I don't think we have anything else for Saturday. Do you want to do your rundown or should we take a break and have our other, our little insert item here?

Because I have sort of a bonus interview. This didn't happen at Scarefest but the place it did didn't really help do anything for us last week. So yeah, I'm not really promoting them but scarefest was awesome so the scarefest.com anyway um yeah but i did get an awesome interview last week and i thought i would uh throw it in the mix here and share it with you guys i did talk to garrett graham who if you like your cult movies he is in them and you probably know who he is i when i saw he was coming like i was just like for me it was a very specific attachment and a weird like fixation as a child. Oh my God, it's the dude from Used Cars. I had such a weird use of it, which I will tell him in a minute.

Even if you're not into that, Phantom of the Paradise. He's in so many awesome movies. I knew none of the movies you listed off to me. Yeah, you're out of the loop, though. I generally am.

This is no news to me. How about The Little Mermaid? Have you ever heard of The Little Mermaid? I have, in fact, heard of The Little Mermaid. I think he's an uncredited voice on that.

The more I got into his stuff, it's like he's done so much stuff. He's also a songwriter, has worked with some of the guys from The Grateful Dead. He's done so much stuff, so I'm just like, yeah, we, we have to talk to him even if just for a little bit. So we did have a, a, a nice little interview with Garrett here. We will, uh, check in with that and, Take our break.

Trying to get. Into it early and see how you got into it were you like a kid that was interested in acting and performing it. Was always something that I did on the side in school you know and gee whiz the first job I can remember well it wasn't a job the first thing I remember doing was when I was a child like seven or eight years old at the Detroit Art Institute I was in a two performance production of Winnie the Pooh I played one of Kanga's friends and relations me and another guy had a scene to ourselves but Straight through lower school and high school and college, it was something I did on the side. At Columbia University, I was president of the Columbia Players, for instance. But I always thought in college that I was going to be a French lit major.

And then I got a call one day in the players' office from a guy named Brian who said he was... He had been the player's chairman, president, 10 years before when he'd been at Columbia. And now he was trying to make a movie, and he hoped that the players would help him maybe with extras and rehearsal space or clothes, I don't know, this and that. And he also wanted a few lead actors, people with a lot of experience that might be in the arts program there or at Minor Latham Playhouse across the street. And.

That they should come and see him. And he gave me an address on West End Avenue. And I said, okay, I'll take care of it. And I never told anybody else. I went down there by myself and sat in a room and improvised for three days with a guy named Bob.

And then the third person sort of came and went, a variety of guys. And Bob was Bob De Niro. And Brian was Brian De Palma. And what came out of that was a film called Greetings. That's the first professional, if you want to call it that.

We didn't get paid a dime, but that was the first gig I did. And that was it for my French lit major career. Could you tell at that point? I mean, obviously he grew to be very well respected and had a specific style. Could you tell already there that he had something going on?

De Niro? Well, I mean, either, I guess. I was thinking De Palma. I mean, he was a little earlier in his career. Yeah, well.

Brian and I did four films together, ultimately. And we developed a very good sort of intuitive relationship. I knew what he wanted, and he knew that I could deliver it. So he didn't have to give me much in the way of specific dialogue, unless there was some particular point that he wanted to make. For instance, in Greetings, my character says, the Warren Commission is a whitewash.

And that was a line he specifically wanted in there. But otherwise, I had great freedom. I improvised straight through all four movies, practically. Did he keep coming to you with roles, or did you just. Yeah, I would hear from him.

It's been a while, but he would call me and say, all right, we're doing a sequel to Greetings. We're doing a film called Phantom of the Paradise out here. I'd like you to come out. And then there was another one called Home Movies, which was back in New York again. Phantom of the Paradise became, I mean, it found its cult following.

I guess when you first read through that script, what did you think of it? Well, I was young and dumb. I didn't have a lot of questions about anything. The fact that he wanted me to be in a movie, and I knew him, I knew what the relationship was. I was all set.

The script really could have been about just about anything. Originally, Paul Williams, who gave his music to the film, which was a big gift. He was a highly sought-after songwriter at that point. He was originally going to be the Phantom. He wanted to play the Phantom.

And I would have been Swan. And Bill Finley, for whom the part was written, would have been the Phantom. But then Paul changed his mind. He wanted to play Swan. And Bill.

Was able to become, I'm sorry, I mixed up the chronology there. When things switched, when Paul decided to be Swan, that's when Finley got to play the Phantom. And so I got this roll of beef. And that certainly seems to have turned out pretty well. Yeah, I'd say so.

You were kind of involved in music at that point too. I guess, did that play into it as far as. Well, I wasn't really involved at that point. I was a terrible guitar player. It was later, when I was back in New York for a couple of years, that I decided I wanted to be a rock critic.

And I did that for a couple of years, mostly because you got a bunch of free records. You got all the free records you wanted. And at that point, it was records. It was vinyl. It was all vinyl.

And I loved music. I do still love rock and roll music. And I became a fan of the Grateful Dead when they came to play at Columbia. And years later, a decade later, by happenstance, through a mutual friend, I met Bob Weir. And he and I became friends.

And I wrote a song for him that he did on one of the Grateful Dead's albums. So I actually have two gold records from the Grateful Dead, of which I'm very proud. I have to say. Yeah. And I've written stuff for Rat Dog, which is his current side band.

Yeah, yeah. That's amazing. I did just want to ask you about, Cannonball wasn't huge, but you did get to work with Paul Bartel. What was that process like? Well, Bartel and I had become friends, social friends, you know.

And he, I didn't have to audition, he just called and said, I said, be in this movie. And because Paul and I were friends, we got along great, you know. And he wasn't, Like Ryan, he wasn't a dictatorial director at all. A lot of freedom. But I ended up having a really great time.

An actor who's done a lot of stuff is never really satisfied with his own work. An actor is the most critical person you could imagine of your own work. But I like my character and my performance in that film a lot. Herman Waters, would-be country and western singer. We had a great time, great time.

And I was in a car, if you recall, with Bill McKinney, the late Bill McKinney. And that was someone else I got to know socially. So we had a lot of fun, a lot of fun. Well, and I had to hit on, you're in one of my favorite movies of all time. And one that hit me really young and like, it was such a weird mixture because it was like, I remember being really into Star Wars.

And like the next year, News Cars was like my favorite movie. It's a great movie. It's a great movie. It's as funny today as when we made it at 79. Yeah.

It's a hilarious picture. It holds up so well, and that was like early Zemeckis. I mean, that was when he was just kind of finding his way. Absolutely. He was a protege of Spielberg's at that point.

So I guess what was it like working on that, or how did you come into play into that one? Well, that I think I actually auditioned for, maybe. But it was, as you can imagine if you've seen the movie, the set was. A lot of fun. A lot of fun.

I've been fortunate that way. I've had a lot of gigs that were a lot of fun to shoot. where the set was a happy set. A lot of joking around and carrying on. How about the stunts and everything? A great stunt crew.

A great stunt crew headed up by a guy named Terry Leonard, who had been. Well, at some point, they did a remake of Stagecoach, and he'd done the stunt that Yakima Canute had originally done, doubling for Wayne, working his way back under the horses and under the carriage, and got run over by the carriage, so he'd been pretty badly injured. So he would gimp the wall around one good leg. But he put some incredible stunts together, jumping the train and rolling that beautiful stretcher A beautiful car at the beginning. Kurt jumping from one car to the other.

Yeah, yeah. It looks as though we're going much faster than we actually were, of course. But, yeah, Kurt, all guts, all guts. And then weren't you using live ammo when you were blowing. Up the car?

No, no, no. No? No. Well, now wait a minute. Let me think.

Like on the used car lot when you were, like, firing? Yeah, yeah. No, I know the scene. Marshall Lucky. I know the scene.

I mean. The stuntman shot some live ammo, I think. I wanted to, but they wouldn't let me do it. So I was loaded with blanks. Yeah, it seemed like they were kind of rolling fast and loose there.

But yeah, it's still one of the funniest movies ever. Absolutely. But yeah, I think other than that, you are Bud the Chud. I mean, has that defined you since then, since you've kind of adopted the name through the rest of them? I did get a credit on a couple of movies, not as Garrett Graham, but as Bud T.

Chud. Again, that was directed by a friend of mine, a guy I'd known in New York, become friends with in New York, David Irving. And I talked to David about this. I wanted to make something of it. And we talked about the role, and it obviously has Frankenstein aspects too.

But I wanted him to be a romantic, a disappointed lover. I wanted it to be bittersweet, to humanize the guy a bit. But also because that's a classic motif. Romeo, sort of. It's taken it much deeper than people expected in Chud, I'm sure.

So that's cool. Yeah, yeah. All right. Well, thank you for. Talking with us today.

Thank you. Use cars. Everybody's got one to trade. Use cars. Everybody's got one to sell.

Use car fire. Take care. Fire beware. If you leave the theater, folks, please be careful. Don't let this happen to your car.

Be sure to remove the speaker before you leave. If you should accidentally pull a speaker loose, please turn it in at our snack bar or box office. Dave, I do not get superheroes. Oh, my God, I don't get you. What don't you get?

Tower bot here. Well, the meatbags were going to say that if you're a geek and like podcasts, then you could try Tower of Technobabble at www.toweroftechnobabble.com. Then this started. Well, it's up to you. I'm gonna get my taser and put a stop to this.

Towerbot out. Okay, monkeys. It's nap time. Thank you. I do want to hang out with Bobby.

All right. Tell people about your Bobby experience. It's not really much of an experience because I don't really talk to him. So it's like, it's Bobby. And I got all I do is sit and stare because it's And that was about it.

He was very nice, very friendly, very enthusiastic. That would be Bobby from Twin Peaks. Bobby Briggs. He does have a name, right? Dana Ashbrook.

There you go. I knew it, too. Thank you very much. Yeah, he seemed a lot friendlier than Sherilyn Finn. He at least seemed like he didn't mind being there.

No offense to Sherilyn Finn, but she seemed like she had other things that she wouldn't be doing, and it wasn't. And it wasn't talking to me, because she didn't. She was different places. Different places, okay. Hey, she at least told me she liked my hair.

So that's more than you got. Yeah, that's more than I got. Because I got here. I don't even know if she said here. You got an exaggerated sigh.

Yeah, I was told. I didn't get that, but the other party involved that I won't out was standing there when she had to get up and take the photo. And I was told that she meant. Which I kind of thought... Well, I at least got that out of her, so I can say that in life.

I mean, she didn't seem outwardly rude. I bored Sherilyn Finn. I mean, she didn't seem like outwardly rude, just that she just didn't want to be there, which I'm like, fine, whatever. If you don't want to be there, then just don't be there. I mean, that's the thing.

There's very few people in all these excursions of ours that I've run into that I would actually put in the bad category, and I certainly don't put her there. She just. She didn't seem like it was something she wanted to do, but I guess maybe she just needs to do that now or it's something somebody talked her into doing. I appreciate getting the opportunity to get her autograph, even though she didn't personalize it. It kind of pissed me off.

She didn't personalize mine either. I got love. At least you didn't. That means you can sell it later. Let's look at the bright side.

Yeah. But it's my time with Sherilyn when she ignored me. She at least put love on mine, so neener, neener. I have exes. Bobby Briggs, on the other hand, was super friendly and just super chit-chatty, and he was wanting to hang out with people that were in line in front of us.

I didn't talk to him, so I was like, oh, Bobby. And he has better hair now than he did back on the show. Although he does, we decided, have Leland hair now. But it works better for him than the hair that he had on Twin Peaks. It was rough.

I'm assuming he didn't pick that. His face has always been beautiful, though. He's always had a beautiful face. And from what you tell me, even when I saw him, I would just sort of pass by the table and he seemed like he was very, like, entertaining and engaged with the people. And he seemed kind of fun.

So, Dana, if you want to come on the show, you know. Later down the line when we run into him, we'll see if we can get him to sit in. So I should not say anything bad about him so that eventually he'll come on. I had nothing bad about him. I can't say anything bad about him.

He did seem legitimately friendly and chitchatty and he personalized my picture. Because he's like, hey, that's what my name was. He made sure he spelled it right. And then he did, oh, Misty. Play Misty for me.

Because I never get that. I'm like, yeah, I get that all the time. So he wrote to Misty, play for me. And I was so excited. Oh, my God.

And you started dancing around. I did a little bit. I did a little bit of a dance. It probably looked more like a seizure. I don't know.

Like that weird zombie today? What was that girl? I'm not really sure what was going on with that. She was having some sort of fit. And she was pretending to be a zombie.

Did we have any other experiences from our last weekend experience? Other experiences? There wasn't really much going on, and that's why I didn't try to, like, force a show out of it, because there wasn't really much. Like, other than that, like, we hung out with our usual, like, you know, convention crew, all the people that we run into every, sometimes every couple of weeks, depending on who it is, and then a few of them only, like, twice a year, but, like, we just sort of hung out with people and went and ate food, and I was like, I don't know that there's really a, an entertaining show here. We did see Barry Bostwick.

He is old. Well, it's been a long time. Like damn old. Like, good God, how many great, great, great kids does this man have? He's old.

Oh, he's another one though. He's been in some interesting projects. And yet my first response, hey, there's asshole. Nice. I'm sure he's never gotten that before either.

Yeah, I know. My boyfriend was confused. What are you talking about? What did he ever do to you? It took me a while to remember what you were talking about.

I had forgotten that he was in Rocky. Yeah, we didn't have much time there last time. It was last minute. We just kind of jetted up there and then hung out for a little bit and then split. Good times, good times.

That was mine. I just wanted to talk to Garrett and I did. So that was cool. He was very nice and he had some interesting stuff and I would have liked to talk to him more. Again, he has so many projects that I Again, just go look at some of the, like, amazing, like, weird cult.

Anything in, like, the 70s and going into the 80s was just a whole group of weird stuff, one of which we're actually going to return to. So that one, we'll just plant that seed and we'll come back. We have a special episode in the works there and another one coming up. So with that, what are we going to do with today? We'll roll into the activities of today.

So what was your take on Scarefest today, Misty? It was a rather enjoyable experience. My only complaint is why they feel the need to have people walk around being obnoxious. Like the people that jump up at you or like will try to scare you. Yeah.

They kind of quit doing that for a couple of years and then this year it came back. They had clowns this year. Yeah. And I'm not big on, I'm not afraid of clowns. I just, I'm not big on them.

I don't like them. I'm not like afraid. I'm not like, ah! I'm like, ugh, get away. It's like the same as magicians.

I don't fucking like magicians. It's as simple as that. It's magic. It's fucking bullshit. Now, are these officially sanctioned scare fest?

I have no idea. I'm pretty sure they are. They're not just weirdos. I mean, they're weirdos too, but I think they are okayed and supposed to be part of the show that is the whole convention and they just kind of have them. Oh, you know what?

They have like a haunted house down the street from there and now I'm thinking I remember them somehow being affiliated and I think that might be to advertise their work. So maybe let's not blame scare. But they're allowing it to go on, and they really should put the smack down on that. Patty, I love your show. I'm just saying.

That's a little annoying. Well, I think they kind of know who to scare and who not to scare because they don't. They never came near us. Yeah, the entire weekend they never came near me because they know I don't care. Yeah, and I'm not really scared of clowns either.

I just don't trust them because I lived above a clown for a while. Oh, this is one of those serial killer stories. No, she's not a serial killer, but who knows? She could have been. Well, yeah, she was.

Yeah, she smoked. She chain smoked a lot. And then at night she would beat her daughter. And I would have to go to sleep to the sounds of her beating her. You can see the face that Lucy just made her back with a shock.

Well, her daughter was like 16 or 17. That makes it better. She could have fought back at that age. Come on, kick your mom's ass. I'm trying to tell the damn story here. her daughter was like 16 or 17 years old and she was kind of a, she was always shoplifting and getting in trouble, but her mom wasn't much better either.

No, they were, it was just a big family of just being messed up. And, uh, they would be down there usually around 11 o'clock, which is a right around the time I had to go to sleep. They would start screaming and throwing stuff and then she would start beating her and she would start screaming and, I would have to listen to her run into a room, slam her door and cry herself to sleep. Cause she, her room was right underneath my room. And I was just like, Oh my God, call the police on them a couple of times.

But cops were like, can't do anything. You know, I mean, all you can do is call if they're too loud, you know, she eventually ran away. But the lady, the lady, you know, one day she saw me and she was like, Oh, hi, would you, you know, we're having an open clown workshop at the clown school. And I was just like, What? Why do you think I would be interested in this?

Oh, it's such a joyous thing to bring joy to people. And I'm like, do you think I don't hear you beat your child downstairs? What's wrong with you? And I was just like, I don't trust clowns. All the clowns that I've met, like not scare fest clown type people or people that work at horror conventions or any of that.

Like actual clowns. Actual normal clowns. Normal clowns. Yeah, there's no such thing. Just fucking clowns.

Like, even some of the ones I see working at, like, Shriners and stuff like that. Dude, those people are fucked up. They are. They are just weird. Shakes is not just a movie.

It's a way of life. Or Peony. Peony the Clown. That reminds me of the clown mom. You remember the picture?

Yeah. Peony the Clown. I don't want to. Remember the picture. You remember the picture.

You can't make me. Yeah. Go ahead. No, I was just kidding. That reminded me of the hillbilly mom clown. subplot and all the real girls I don't know if anybody saw that but it's an early David Gordon Green movie when he still made like little independent dramas and not like crazy pot smoking medieval films or whatever with James Franco but it's Patricia Clarkson and she plays the mom who has a job to support she's a single mom so she has to support the son and so she has a job as a clown and the love story between the male character and Zooey Deschanel is really beautiful and it's just sort of this tender sweet movie about falling in love But then the mom, like, clown subplot is completely insane.

And, like, there's a scene where she's, like, in her clown makeup, and she's talking about everything she's sacrificed. And she's, like, her clown makeup's bleeding, and she screams, I used to be beautiful. And it's, like, you're, like, an Oscar-nominated actress. Anyway, look it up. All the real girls.

Wow. So, clowns. Yeah, mom clowns. Well, that got cheerful real fast, didn't it? Anything other than clowns from today.

Hmm. I like that they had wide aisles. That's, again, like I was standing there talking to Jay in the middle of that. I was just like, that's why this is such a big difference than a lot of other shows. It's just, it's got a huge space to work with.

And even though they've like doubled the amount of vendors this year, like they opened up that back wall and it's like twice as big and like, but their aisles are just like huge compared to all the other ones that are crammed into those little like convention areas in the middle of a hotel. So to me, it's like, It doesn't seem so cramped and crowded and overrun with people. And I'm good with that. Yeah, that's what I was going to say. I don't like people a whole lot, you know?

I mean, most people are okay, you know? Our listeners are awesome, but the rest of the world. No, no, I mean, you know, people in general, like people that I know are fine, and I don't have a problem with that. But my big thing is like going to certain conventions where people... Don't.

Respect personal space? That and they don't respect personal hygiene and they like run into you and they're really sweaty. And their smell rubs off. Yeah. Stuff like that.

So it's just, you know, I mean, if we're outside and it's hot and you're there all day, I can understand that. That's no big deal. But if you're in a nice enclosed air conditioned space and you're going to meet other people who you are excited about meeting and you know, you would think that you would probably take a bath or, Invest in some deodorant. Invest in some deodorant. Or something like that.

Some of these characters, no offense. Again, I think that's the thing. I think people listening who know better know that they're not those people. That's the point I'm about to make is that I think those kind of people who are doing that and are being that weird level of offensive are so unaware of it. They just literally don't know what's going on.

We used to have to. Send a memo out at the gym when I worked at the gym. we had several people that were just like kind of funky. And, uh, when you're, uh, running a fairly nice gym and you know, there, there are people like when it's mixed, you know, you got women and men, a lot of the girls are very clean. And the last thing they want is a, Bunch of smelly guys. A dirty, smelly, foot-fungus-y guy kicking at them.

So they kind of want you to be nice. It's kind of the whole image for the gym is everybody wants to stay a little bit clean. It's a gym. Granted, everybody sweats, but still. I don't sweat.

I glisten. Yeah, whatever. You don't even sweat. Bitch, I sweat. You don't even know.

Please. All right. Were there any other activities for you today? Hmm. We also talked to Malcolm McDowell.

I didn't talk to Malcolm McDowell. Boyfriend talked to Malcolm McDowell about motorcycles and that was pretty exciting for him. Tell him about how exciting it was. It was super exciting. He was pretty excited.

Don't let him fool you. I was excited. I was. But, you know, I didn't get to talk to him long enough about it and that's fine. He had a decent line it that luckily it was never overwhelming which is why it was.

A short line but it always seemed to replenish. But it stayed yeah it always stayed at that level which is good like i'd kind of rather have that that's why i went ahead and did that like i just can't i don't have patience for those super long lines anymore so his was never like that but he always had enough people there that you know you couldn't stand around and talk for hours on end so Which is good because I think it made people kind of like realize that and move along and get out of the way. So everybody seemed to follow along and he was just sort of like working through the crowd. What I had asked him about was the movie If. There's a scene in the movie where he goes into a BSA dealership and he basically jumps on a B6, sorry, he jumps on a BSA and just takes off.

He starts riding around and he just basically steals the motorcycle. and uh i guess most of the people that know me um bsas are like one of my favorite bikes yeah i really love british bikes especially bsas um but i talked to him about it a little bit and he was saying that after the filming of the movie they offered to give him that motorcycle and he turned it down he goes i don't know why i turned it down i just said no that's okay and then He said it was kind of one of those things that he was like, oh, crap, I should have took the bike. Because he said later on, I realized they had sold it at auction for 5,000 pounds, which he said, now's not a lot. But at the time, I guess it was whenever the film was filmed, it was like the 60s.

I was like, yeah, late 60s. It had to have been late 60s, because that was an early. Before Clockwork Orange, yeah. That was a mid-60s bike. He's like, I should have just kept the.

Bike, but. Oh, well, things happen. So, you know, but. it was nice to meet him. It was nice to see somebody that's of that level, you know, instead of just the lower level. Not down in anybody else that we've met.

But, you know, you don't– it's very rare that you get to go out and actually talk to somebody. Like, I mean, you'll never talk to a– Brad Pitt. You'll never, you don't know. You never get a chance to talk to, but that's okay. You know, I don't really think I have anything to talk to Brad Pitt about.

Except for maybe you would talk to Ewan McGregor. I would talk to you and McGregor. Actually, I really want to talk to you and McGregor because you and McGregor loves motorcycles. Yeah. Make that shit happen.

And, and I can talk to him for a long time about bikes, but no, I would probably make fun of Brad Pitt for, for losing his bike in the middle of the street and let it fall over. And then, like, a bitch walking off and calling somebody and having them pick his bike up. So, I mean, I guess you can do that when you're that rich. But, I mean, really, come on, dude. That was, like, the lamest thing ever.

Do you have proof of this story? Actually, yeah. No, it's on YouTube. Nice. YouTube never lies.

Thank you, YouTube. Well, somebody was videoing it, and he was, like, he came to a stop and, like, I guess he couldn't hold the bike up because it was so big, and it fell over, and he got mad and just walked away and then called somebody, and they came in a pickup truck and picked it up and put it in the back of the truck, and he went home. Brad, I don't know. He's like, I'm Brad Pitt. That bike shouldn't have fell over.

That's kind of true. Bike, don't you know who I am? Yeah. He had little train wheels. That would be so cute.

Oh, my God. Of all the big, you know, A-listers though, Brett's kind of proven himself as an actual actor. So I won't give him shit for most other things. I don't know about the bike incident, but like he is a good actor and he usually doesn't half-ass his projects, even if they're hit or miss. It's like he puts himself into them.

Yeah, he's fine. He's fine. But I'm just saying like as far as caliber of actors that you actually get to, or that I ever actually get to talk to or anything like that. He's pretty high up there. You know, I guess.

Definitely, and we'll get back to that in a minute. In the meantime, after you talk to him, we move to our next guest, and our reoccurring guest on the show, one of the regulars, if you will. Judge Dredd? Whether she likes it or not. No, do you need to tell your Judge Dredd story, though?

No. It was just Judge Dredd. He was there and he was all in this dreadness. And you got your picture with Judge Dredd. I got my picture with Judge Dredd.

It was not exactly like Santa Claus. You didn't sit on his lap. No, no. And.... And that was about it.

That wasn't a story at all. It was just a bunch of filler. Well, mine was, and it had the, the audio attachment to go with it. So, um, I actually got to sit down again and talk to Daniel Harris. So she's, she tired of your shit.

You would think I kinda, I kinda like hinted at that this time. By the time we wrapped up, I was like, you know, if you want me to get lost and leave you alone, but like she, again, she's too nice. And she liked, she, she, wants to keep talking to me i don't. Understand obviously a glutton for punishment. Yeah because i mean i mean if she she could take me so if she wanted me gone she could just you know she could take care of that so for some reason she keeps letting me loiter around.

Brian's secretly thinking of ways to like get her to actually. Attack him so maybe a little bit anyway she. Is so adorable oh my god she is she would adorably attack him like a kitten. When it hisses at you. I believe she has been trained in her defenses.

Only Brian will end up with a bloody nose, and kittens don't usually give you a bloody nose. It may be worse than that. I think she's actually trained. I try to be very respectful when I'm hanging out with Danielle. So, yeah, we have done some cool stuff with her in the past.

We might do it in the future if she continues to be a glutton for punishment. But she was very nice today, and... We just kind of talked about some general stuff since last time and what she's up to now. So let's go see what Danielle's up to. All I'm asking.

All right, so we're back here with Danielle. I guess it's been a while, but you've become sort of a favorite on our show. Thank you, thank you. And one of the first times we started bringing people in to kind of sit down and do a lot of other stuff. Although, I have to say, Doug Jones is moving in on your territory.

With what? What movies? He's picked, oddly, once again, no, no, stuff like he's in all these crazy horror movies. He's always monsters. And he picks the first time out, Somewhere in Time.

Oh, interesting. Yeah. Didn't see that coming from Doug. Just because random doesn't mean we like to talk about him. I know.

I was like, that's kind of awesome. And he, like, loves that movie. Like, it was great. Awesome. Yeah, so he's...

I think last time was Silver Linings Playbook. Like, he's got some different choices. That was a good one. Yeah, it was fun. But, yeah, so they're moving in on your territory.

So we're going to have to pick something. But today, we have had, like, a whole kind of family thing going lately. Earlier this year, we had Adam Green on. And then a couple weeks back, we had Zach Galligan on, so we've got kind of a whole... We've got an army.

Yeah, it's the whole connection going here. So I guess first off with Adam, you were on Holliston. Is that not the most fun experience ever? You know, I was like, oh, my God. You know, fans are going to be like, really?

I mean, you have me stealing and doing drugs and being completely insane. I'd never made fun of myself that way before, so that was really cool. It was nice to do some comedy. It had been a minute. Yeah, I don't know.

Adam's just too nice for his own good. Like, I don't know how he can survive. Well, he's not always nice. He's got a tough side to him. I rarely see it, though.

He's, yeah, he's amazing how much he's dedicated to the fans, though. Oh, yeah. I mean, that's why he does what he does. And then I guess to roll into the Zach area, what was it like going back for Hatchet 3 that the second time for. You, I guess.

Yeah, you know, I'm a big Gremlins geek, so for me, it was like, that was my Uber fan geek out moment where I was like sitting, standing across from Zach in the police station and I couldn't believe we were getting to do scenes together. I was super stoked. It was cool, you know, it was a really hard shoot and really quick and it just, it kind of flew by, honestly. It was much more intense than than the second one, that's for sure. Didn't have as much problem.

That second one had so many issues. The second one did? What do you mean? Well, as far as the ratings and getting it released. Yeah, all that stuff that I wasn't involved in.

All that stuff poor Adam had to go through. Those are the times he's not very nice. No, yeah, he fights. He fights for what he believes in, you know. It's worth it.

I guess. Has it been getting response? Have people been recognizing from that? Yeah, people have been loving it. You know, a lot of people are saying it's their favorite.

And they're also disappointed that there's not going to be another one. So, I mean, you know, never say never, but the way that I see it is that it's the finale. And it wrapped up the story really nicely. And I think Adam always had sort of a beginning, a middle, and an end to the Crowley story and the legend. And if the legend is true, then it would be the end.

Yeah. He seemed like he was kind of done with it. He liked doing the third one, but he seemed like he was time to put it to bed. Yeah, I think, you know, for there to be another one, it's going to be like every other franchise that just keeps turning him out for the sake of making money, and I don't think that that's what Adam Green's about. No, I mean, even doing the second one was kind of, you know he had a story to tell.

Exactly, exactly. Sort of since we've been hanging around in these circles, you've moved into the directing area. How has that been for you? It's been a lot, actually. It's been great and I've learned a lot.

It's, you know, it's something that I'd wanted to do for a long time and it's just kind of a natural progression, I think. There's really only so much and so far you can go in this genre sort of doing what I was doing. And it was just time for me to kind of make movies that I wasn't reading and wasn't having an opportunity to be in and wasn't seeing in the theater. So I wanted to do something that was just fun and hire my friends and, you know, get to torture Cain and All of that fun stuff. So there was a lot that I needed to learn, and what I learned in a year and a half of putting that movie together, I couldn't have learned in four years of school.

And I already, you know, obviously I've been doing films for 30 years, so there's a lot that I already knew, but as far as directing, there was a lot that I still needed to educate myself on and was really grateful for the opportunity. That's what I was wondering, because, yeah, you've been acting since you were a child, so... moving behind the camera, have you learned something about directing that you've didn't know like you thought maybe you knew from the other end but it haven't. Changed not directing as much um because actors and directors work so closely together i learned more about the politics um behind film distribution and producers and festivals and sales reps and attorneys and you know i learned about a lot about posts i mean even something as simple which sounds kind of stupid but something as simple as i did not realize that every single thing in a movie is folied everything there's not a pen that i put down or a footstep that i've taken as an actor in a movie that someone else hasn't folied like everything i mean i really didn't know that i thought that they just did picked up stuff that needed that they didn't get when they were like what's the point of having of having it in there you know but but it really does make a difference it makes the movie better so i didn't realize that which is pretty.

Pretty cool it is noticeable because yeah i have seen a few that are super low budget and they've just tried to use live mics and it's so. Noticeable Yeah, so now, unfortunately, it's taken a little bit of the fantasy. I mean, it's hard enough knowing how to make a movie and seeing movies, but now I know all of how to do it, so it's hard to watch as a viewer and not pick out everything. You start wanting to direct other people's movies? Oh, I always have.

That's why I started directing my own. Nice. There was another just a weird question I wanted to throw out there. We are friends at Atomic Cotton, who actually did our Yeti shirts, did the shirt of you. It's not even connected to a specific movie.

It's just Danielle. What was your thoughts on just, I mean, you've been on the screen forever in posters, but just seeing people walk by on a T-shirt, it's a different pop culture impact. Yeah, I mean, it's, well, first of all, it's mostly men that wear it, which is cool. And the fact that it's hot pink and it's me, like, posed like in some Madonna 80s sort of position. And it says Danielle.

I think it's pretty rad, actually. I'm honored and it's cool because I think, you know, it's nice to have been broken out of the Jamie mold. So it's cool that people are supporting me and not necessarily a character that I played. So I think it's awesome. And soon you can just be Danielle.

Well, I don't know if that'll ever really happen, but I'm probably Jamie first or the girl from Halloween and then Danielle. No, it'll be Cher. It'll be just like Cher. But Cher is at least Cher. That's what I'm saying.

You'll be Danielle. You'll just go by Danielle. And now it's time for a psychic interlude. Hi, welcome back to World of the Psychic. I'm Peter Venkman.

I'm chatting with my guest, author, lecturer, and psychic, Milton Angland. Milton, your new book is called The End of the World. Now, Can you tell us when it's going to be or do we have to buy the book? Well, I predict that the world will end at the stroke of midnight on. New Year's Eve.

This year? Mm-hmm. Well, that's cutting it a little bit close, isn't it? I mean, just from a sales point of view, I mean, your book is just coming out. You're not going to see any paperback sales for at least a year.

It'll be at least another year before you know whether you've got the miniseries or movie of the week kind of possibilities. I mean, just devil's advocate, Miltie. I mean, shouldn't you have said, hey. The world's going to end in 1992 or, better yet, 1994? This is not just some money-making scheme, all right?

I have a strong psychic belief that the world will end on New Year's Eve. Well, for your sake, I hope you're right. That's all the time we've got for this week on World of the Psychic. Next week, though, give me Ira. Hairless pets.

Weird. Until then, this is Peter Vickman saying. See you then. All right, we are back here with Danielle. Do you want to discuss your psychic reading?

You know, I like that stuff. I don't want to discuss it because I went to the pet psychic reading. I was more drawn to that one myself, actually. Yeah, I just thought it was kind of cool. I mean, she was pretty spot on anyway with kind of how he is.

So that was good. Did you say dog? Yes, dog. What type of dog? A pit bull.

I have black and white dogs. I've decided it's their breed. I see it. When you're a mutt, you go with the best you got. That's true.

Well, this show in particular is a lot more paranormal than most of them. What are your thoughts on the paranormal, I guess, here and in general, I suppose? I mean, I believe it. What I like about this show is that there's a nice mix of stuff. You know, like I'm into tarot card reading and, you know, healing crystals and home staging and that kind of stuff.

So it's, I mean, you know, the show's put on by Patty, so it's a woman that's running it. So I think that she brings, there's a lot of jewelry, you know what I mean? So I think it's kind of, geared towards that. There's a lot more women that come to the show than I see at most conventions. It definitely has a different vibe here.

It does, yeah. It does. It's a little bit, yeah, less horror, more paranormal. Which is an interesting mix. Not everybody can mix the two.

Yeah, she does it well. I was going to say, many a time I will wake up and they're constantly playing this in the Roseanne reruns. Do you get that? I mean, to me, that almost seems like that may have hit more of the public than just about anything. Do you still get a lot of that?

I do, but I get a lot of, wait, weren't you on? You know what I mean? Instead of people knowing exactly. So, uh, I think that other than, you know, when, when I was done with Halloween, some people kind of followed and others sort of didn't remember that I'd worked for 20 years until I came back on the new Halloween series. Um, And then they went, oh, wait a minute.

I was watching your movies all along and didn't realize that it was you. So I do get Roseanne references once in a while. You were one of those kids that was just kind of working. You were in everything that had a kid for a good number of years there. Yeah, I was trying anyway.

You and Elijah Wood. Yeah, exactly. I guess just what is it that you have in the works? What do you want to tell people that you've been working on or have coming out in the near future? See, this year there's a couple things coming out.

Shivers being released in October, which is, I think, one of my best performances with John Jarrett, who I just adore, and Casper Van Dien and Ray Dawn Chong. That's October 7th, I believe. And then Ghost of Goodnight Lane with Billy Zane and Lacey Chabert is coming out. I'm not sure when, though. And a movie called Hollow's Eve that I did that's coming out.

And what else? What else? I'd have to look online and see. But that's pretty much it. And we're still working on getting Horror Gal up and running at some point.

But having major issues switching over, it's just a whole thing in a thing. But we're still working on that stuff and We had to sort of move companies and now trying to find artists to finish it up. It's a whole world I don't understand, but we're working on it. What all was that going to entail? Because I remember the first time I was like, we can throw a banner up there.

And then I kept checking at it and I didn't know what happened. Yeah, and it's kind of a virtual convention. It's sort of a one-stop shop for fans for all things horror. Sort of like VIP access to everything. What I find frustrating is with the economy being so bad, People still want to be able to get their stuff signed and to meet people, but they can't fly all over the damn country for it.

It's really expensive to come get one person's autograph for $ 20 and have to spend $ 2, 000 getting there. It's a lot. So I'm sort of the motherlode of the place where you can send it to me and then say you wanted a Hatchet 3 poster signed. I know all these people. So you send me your personal items and go ahead and get everything signed for you.

You can do Skype sessions. You can, you know, there's certain, everybody will have, every celebrity basically has their own page. So it's, instead of trying to search for everybody, and a lot of genre stars don't have social media stuff. So it's a way for us and me to, it's a way for us to kind of, I guess, sort of pimp them out and all in one place. It's not your typical horror site where I'm just reporting on whatever, you know, so-and-so has signed on to do this movie.

There's plenty of that out there. So mine's a, kind of a, more a fan access to their favorite you know scream queen and killer that's. Really different and kind of cool to be able to give people that chance especially you know. Blogs you know everybody will have their own thing people have like things they promote or they want to talk about or you know whatever their twitter feeds their instagram they're all their real stuff so you're not like searching around trying to find trying to find it it's what that what it's what the celebrity is posting themselves on that page and then we monitor all. Of it very cool very cool Anything else to pass along?

That's pretty much it. I guess follow me on Twitter, HalloweenGal. And I believe I'm HorrorGal on Instagram. And I have a Facebook page, finally. It's the official Daniel Harris Facebook page that I do go on all the time.

I remember it wasn't official for a long time. Now it's official. So that is mine, and I'm up there all the time. All right. Well, tell everybody to send them your way and look for all the new projects.

Thank you. Sure. Thanks. I'm asking you, darling. Hi, I'm Malcolm McDowell.

You're listening to Movie Meltdown. So just keep listening. And I'm singing. Just singing. In the rain, doop-a-doop, doop-a-doop.

What's part of your problem? You know, you haven't seen enough movies. All of life's riddles are answered. In the movies. And now, on with the show.

She's so tiny. She is quite petite. I wish I was that tiny. You would put yourself in your own pocket. I would.

I totally would. Because that's usually what your threat is for Danielle. You just want to put her. No, because I've replaced her with Bobby. I want Bobby in my pocket now because he's so skinny I could probably fold him up like a knife.

He's a Swiss Army Bobby? Yes. He's so adorable. Oh, Daniel is also adorable and quite impressive. Again, somebody who's knocked out a lot of movies over the years.

All different types of genres, you know, crossed over into TV, has moved into directing now. She's just She's an amazing woman, and I'm glad that she has decided to put up with us. So thank you to Danielle, and we'll see what we can put together in the future, and hopefully we'll have her back on, and she can defend her title against that darn Doug Jones who is moving in on her territory. Oh, Doug Jones. I got a Doug Jones trading card today.

There's like in the Americana series trading. It's in the car. and there was a doug jones card in there and i got a feldman card and who else did i get that one diane franklin or whatever it's. Diane franklin who has also been on the show and yeah but like the doug jones card in there this is. Like the most random celebrities jones again he was in uh best friend of the show He kind of is. He was one of the gentlemen on Buffy, and he was like Abe Sapien.

Oh, okay, okay, okay, yeah, all right. He's very tall, that Doug Jones. No, okay, I remember now. Sorry. I've been punching the head a lot, so this happens.

That's just this week. Yeah, you shouldn't have been talking to Danielle like that. Well, no, this is people that even I meet on a regular basis because I've got, like, new friends that I've met, and I've been, like, running into them for the past month, like, every other day, and it's still the, okay, wait, what your name is? All right. And my brain's still trying to do the whole, okay, this is their face, this is their name, put them together.

There they are, you know? So that's what happens. Too much brain damage. Okay, aside from the brain damage. Yeah, I don't know.

Do you want to go into any of your finds first? of stuff other than your training? I was going to talk about how bad I felt for Hoyt because nobody was ever at his table. He sat there looking mad. Poor Hoyt. Yeah, you know, I don't know.

It's, it's, it was odd, you know, I figured there would be a pretty big turnout for True Blood, but maybe if it was in Louisville, maybe, I don't know. Maybe if it was in Hollywood, or maybe it was somewhere where people cared. I don't know. That's what I'm trying to decide. Did, did it, did True Blood get past its window already, maybe?

Like, if they would have done this two years ago, would it have been packed? Because I can't even watch the show anymore. Yeah, it seems like it's not the thing everybody's talking about the way it was a couple years ago. Yeah, nobody's talking about it now. It's jumped its vampire shark.

Everybody's talking about Walking Dead. And I think the True Blood fans are not the kind of people that go to horror conventions. Or paranormal conventions. Or paranormal conventions. They're the kind of people that, read books that have Fabio on the front of them with no shirt.

I read the True Blood books. What are you trying to say? You love Fabio. Vampire Fabio. Fabio books.

Hardly any of my books have Fabio on them. There's probably guys that look like Fabio on the cover. No. They're usually chicks with swords. Oh it's a setup okay all.

Right whatever i feel bad for him because at least sam had some people in his line and tara had a few people in our line and then hoyt is just sitting there like fuck you guys. One person in his line um It was a staff person, but it kind of counts for something, doesn't it? They just wouldn't leave him alone. Hey, we're at a time when there's a vampire. I felt bad because if I was going to get NEM's autograph, it would have been Hoyt.

Because he is adorable and I love Hoyt. And I'm sure he has a real name. I think it's like Jim Parrick, Parrick, Parrick. I don't know how the fuck to say his name, but he's adorable. And he just looks over there.

I was seeing his little hood up on his hoodie looking all mad. I was like, aw. If I wasn't so antisocial, I would still give him a hug, but he might punch me in the face or something. I don't know. But yeah, other than that, it was a fantastic day at the wherever we were, Scarefest.

I talked to the guy from Destination Truth, but I can't remember what his name is either. We are on the ball today, aren't we? No, this is acceptable for me because I can't remember anybody's name except for yours. That's a struggle sometimes. Her name is Sally, but okay.

Nice try. Okay. I'm pretty sure Malcolm McDowell spelled my name wrong on the photo. You might have two S's. You don't know.

Misty. What do you think? It's your name? You don't know how to spell your own name. He's British.

Leave him alone. That's spelled in Britain. Yeah. I'm going to go with that. Okay.

That's correct. No, the Destination Truth guy was pretty cool. I talked to him about his time in Thailand. My mom's from Thailand, and I've been to Thailand several times, and it's a great place. It's beautiful.

See, I didn't pay much attention. I was just overwhelmed by how many paranormal-y people there were. Out of. Every paranormal show, I respect his show more than anybody else's. I could give a crap less about the Zach Baggins guy.

I was so glad Douche Baggins left for the weekend before I even got there. I think he knew that I was coming, and he got the fuck out of Dodge. Yeah, because he was there earlier this week. I don't care about a guy who's going to go and threaten ghosts. Like Rod said, the guy's got a bunch of bodyguards.

He has no problem threatening ghosts, but he can't deal with people. Ghost won't. Kick your ass. People will. I will totally kick his ass.

Outside of movies. Because last time we saw him, he had a whole entourage of bodyguards. Three or four bodyguards. They were all big dudes, too. And I'm like, God, I fucking hate that guy so bad.

And Jay's like, shh, be quiet. I can't take all these guys at once. I could maybe take him, but I can't take all these guys. Because, yeah, there's no way he didn't fucking hear me. And maybe if it was like a martial arts movie where I could take them on one at a time.

In turn. The rest of them just kind of danced around waiting for their turn. Is it my turn? Okay, it's my turn. I swear one of these days I'm going to punch that guy.

It's easy as that. Easy peasy lemon squeezy. I'm going to end up punching that guy. I'm going to end up with more makeup coming back on my fist than I wear like in a month. Because it's just kind of like caked into my fingernails and everything.

You're like, oh, bronzer all over me. Oh, I got douche on me. Well, at least, you know, wait until we get the camera rolling. I think that needs to be a clip on YouTube. I'm just going to come back like encrusted with like bedazzled stuff and Ed Hardy.

Sparkles and Ed Hardy. I mean affliction. Whatever, dude. Same douchebaggy. He wears more affliction stuff, I think.

At least the last time I saw him, he was wearing an affliction shirt, so. Come back bedazzled fucking douche you hear me douchebagging if you're out there i'm gonna punch you in your face i ain't gonna lie ain't gonna feel good. Anyway i was uh yeah i was astounded by how many different ghost type peoples there are and i don't i don't know i don't throw it out i just don't pay that much attention like i don't have patience for most reality tv shows anyway so ghost hunting shows just kind of fall into that category and i don't pay attention to them but well it's your thing that's cool no i. Mean i i liked it because um he seems a little bit more on the investigation side of it and and we enjoyed like my mom She loves scary movies, and she's probably the reason why I got into scary movies.

Your mom with scary movies is like going to the dollar theater in the ghetto. It is, because my mom loves to run commentary during scary movies, and even during TV shows, too. So when we were watching The Destination Truth. I didn't mean for that to sound racist. But it was.

Anyways, like during the... Destination Truth, he's, like, going through there. My mom's like, oh, my God, he shouldn't be in there. You know, and he's talking. She's like, oh, that ghost is going to get him.

You know, he's going to get possessed and all this other stuff. Oh, that's horrible. Yeah, he should. Oh, no. Oh, get out.

Get out. What are you doing? Get out. Like, don't go in there. Don't go in there, Rockford.

Mom, be quiet. You should hear her watch the news. It's something interesting. There's a lot of anger that goes on with watching the news. I personally just can't watch any of the ghost shows because I'm, I guess I'm a hardcore skeptic that I was like, if there was actual proof, there would have been actual proof by now.

And I just, Oh my God, there was a shadow. Did you see it? There was an orb. It's a fucking dust. Move the fuck on.

I just want to work with them and get them to do stuff. And like, like, can you project yourself into the future and get me like some lottery numbers or something? I mean, they got other worldly powers. Can't they do this kind of stuff or? There's got to be something cool we can work on together.

We need like a project with the ghosts. I need you to go through the wall into the bank, all right, and open the safe. I need you to shimmy up the pole up there and turn our cable back on. See, I think ghosts, we should just work with the ghosts. We should like find cool stuff for them to do.

We can leave like ghost treats out or whatever it is they need. Ghost treats. Yeah, blueberry or something, you know, big old bowl of blueberry. They're all set. Make them poop blue because it makes boyfriend poop blue.

You're obsessed with that. You have problems, both of you. I don't know. I'm just skeptical. I won't believe in ghosts until I actually see them.

You don't believe in UFOs either. I don't. My mom and dad took a picture of a UFO the other day, and it was. Honestly, no, no shit. No, I mean, I'm not shitting you.

I mean, I'm not like, all right, I'm not like, you know, oh, UFOs. My dad's like really big into UFOs, and he's always been big into UFOs. My dad was in the Air Force. And they know the truth. Actually, they do.

They do. They know. We lived over by Eglin, and he does some contracting work for the government and stuff like that, and he was one of those. He's like, Jay, there are things that you would not believe. There's stuff that the government won't tell us just for the pure reason that the government's like, you don't need to know it.

You're civilians, and you'd probably just shit yourselves. But he honestly believes in UFOs, and they took a bunch of pictures when they were up on their property, and she's not going to believe it, which is fine. She doesn't need to see them. Even if I did see them, I wouldn't believe them because I wouldn't push your dad to fucking craft some shit together. Does not know how to edit photos.

He probably cut and pasted some shit together. No, he did not. He doesn't even know how to use it. Like literally cut and pasted. Yeah, no.

Hey, I do that. I'm kitchen table Z kind of guy. Then he would have had to figure out how to get it on his phone and he barely knows how to work his phone. He knew enough to take a picture. That's all he took.

So, whatever. I'm not going to talk about it to you. Non-believer. Anyway, skeptics. I'm chock full of skepticism, but I don't care.

Until I actually see something, I'm Unless I actually can see something. And you'll still not believe it. You'll be like, ah, that's a weather balloon. No, I might actually see something legitimately. Not until they suck you up with their tractor beam and start probing your anus.

You still won't be believing it then. You'll be like, nope, nope, nope. That is bullshit, and you know it. I do know a lot of people that have weird ghost stories lately. All of a sudden in the last few years, everybody I know lives in an ancient house and has weird stories.

So I'm like, I don't know what is out there. I don't know. I'm staying out of it. But it astounds me how many, like, people are out there that just have their own show. And, like, that is their thing.

And, like, it's amazing that there are that many. But I will say it is good that there is a show for them to go to. Like, we go to so many horror shows. And, like, this at least mixes it up. And it does give you a different group of people and a different group of fans that show up for it.

And I like that there is a place to mix all that together. And I think it's a decent, you know. The ridiculous fictionalized horror world, you know, versus what people seem to think is real. So I think it's an interesting mixture. It's all in fun, too.

I mean, you know, it's a good convention. I like this convention. The aisles are big. I don't have to run into anybody. I just thought it was strange that the paranormal people had longer lines than Malcolm McDowell.

I'm like, this is Malcolm McDowell, and... this random guy that I've never even heard of line is out the door. It was like five people over in Malcolm McDowell's line. It was a little disturbing because there were a few people that I had no clue who. They were and they had a ridiculously long, but then even if you get people in the Malcolm McDowell line, they're just like. Clockwork orange clockwork orange, you know.

Which I'm not going to complain about. It's an amazing, amazing movie. So, you know, I was happy that they actually had like a couple photos from if, yeah. Um, which I still wish I had been able to print out the one of him on a BSA, but hey, whatever. Maybe next time.

Yeah, he loves that movie and that whole run of movies and that director, and so I don't know. That will lead to mine, and we'll sort of wrap up here. That was my rounding out of the day here there at the convention, as I did actually, as you may have heard in that little break there, I did. did get a chance to talk to Malcolm McDowell. So we only had time to kind of cover one thing, and I'm saving it for a future episode. So this one is sort of a teaser that we've got a good-sized segment.

He really did sort of go on, but it's all about one specific movie, and I want to put together an entire episode built around that movie. So I think we're going to have to leave it at his little bumper there. It was the movie suck, wasn't it? I knew it. Misty loves Suck.

I knew it. No. Has nobody else seen that movie? It's all you. Oh, my God.

It's the worst movie ever. It's not his fault, though. No. There's a lot of bad things that go on in those movies. But, you know, it was horrible, but sometimes I enjoy horrible movies.

I do, too, but this was just horrible in a horrible way. Sometimes I enjoy horrible, horrible movies in a horrible way. You do. Ugh. I don't know what it is.

I get sucked into the horribleness of it. And I'm just like, you know what? That's pretty bad. But for some reason, I'm watching it, and I just can't stop. We had to watch that Nicolas Cage movie.

Dude, that Nicolas Cage movie was awesome. That is the most awesome. Have anybody seen Vampire's Kiss? Oh, my God. That's such a train wreck of a movie.

It's awesome. And we were watching. We don't have cable TV. We've got antenna TV, because I'm not going to pay the cable company, because they're a bunch of dicks. They kind of are.

Well, yeah, they corner you, and then they charge you too much money, and I don't like that. And then there's other things. Not really. Yeah, it's stupid, but we were watching the, I don't even know what network it was. We were flipping through and landed upon the craziness of Nicolas Cage.

Yeah, and all I did was I flipped the channel, and he's running down the street yelling, I'm. A vampire, I'm a vampire, I'm a vampire, I'm a vampire. And I'm like, what the hell is this? Why have we not already seen it? So actually, luckily, it was on YouTube.

Yeah, we tried to look for it on Netflix, but we couldn't find it. So it was on YouTube, the full movie. I like when that happens now It's happening more often If you want to watch how horrible this movie is And if you don't have a problem with Nicolas Cage And even if you do have a problem with. Nicolas Cage Which I do because I usually hate. Him Watch this movie because it is so just weird And it's got Jennifer Beals in it Yeah right Yeah Flashdance girl Yeah it's such a weird movie Because he's just having this complete mental breakdown And he thinks he's a vampire Are you.

Trying to tell me that he's not Don't ruin the movie. I'm not. Whatever. He's just. It's weird.

Dude, it's so weird. Weird movie. I did not talk to Nicolas Cage today. I'm okay with that. Given the options, I would gladly prefer to sit down for hours and hang out with Malcolm McDowell.

Did you see the video I posted where somebody pasted Nicolas Cage's face onto Miley Cyrus? Oh, God. During like the wrecking ball video. So it's him naked on a wrecking ball. It's glorious.

Anyway. Anyways, today we went to the Peddler's Mall and we bought awesome things. We should tell you about what we bought. What did we buy? A Black Hole album.

That was pretty exciting. And a Twilight Zone magazine. That was epic. And some trading cards. And one of them was Doug Jones.

That was awesome. And a Corey Feldman one. That one's lame. Yeah, good times. There's nothing wrong with Feldman.

There's a lot of things wrong with Feldman. As previously stated by Zach Galligan, there's a lot of things wrong with the world that are due to Corey Feldman. I'd still hang out with Corey Feldman. I'm sorry. I would.

You should be sorry. I don't care. I'd still hang out with Corey Feldman. At least in theory right now. Would you call him Feldog?

If he wanted me to. Oh, that's bad. No, I probably wouldn't. You know you do have that option, right? What?

You can buy tickets to his birthday party. He's got this party series. Do we know about this? Has this been addressed on the show? I've heard about this.

Angels or yeah exactly angels. Two hundred dollars to go hang out there unless you're a chick unless you're a hot chick hot chick and scantily clad. You know i'm not no that's no i'm not it's that's gonna end up you're not gonna dress up like a hot chick no it's this you know me i don't hang out at stuff like that there's probably going to be drinking and stuff. I'm really boring. I'm a stick in the mud nowadays.

Nowadays. Nowadays. I like you that way. It's okay. Yeah, it keeps me from getting in trouble and beating the crap out of people.

And being too stupid. I don't know. Does Feldman beat the crap out of anybody? No. Oh, like me beating the crap out of Feldman?

Yeah, Feldman does not want me to get drunk because the level of obnoxiousness and meanness coming out of me, yeah, I'll destroy the entire place. Yeah. I think it's, was it $ 200? Is that what the, that sounds about right. Well, you could go, it's competitive.

It's a competitive rate to hang out with a celebrity in their mansion. At least Feldman's level celebrity. You got a mansion? Can I pick another celebrity? Like, can we have this option with any celebrity?

Because then I'd be okay with it. Who would you pay $ 200 to go hang out with? I can hate so many people that aren't Corey Feldman. Actually, Jerry Lee Lewis did it one year. Like you could pay $ 500 to go to his birthday party.

And like, I almost did it. And I wish to this day that I had, it was like when he was having tax trouble, when he also had to open up his house to like the public, which I don't, did anybody do that by any chance? Because that was an experience. I've seen him twice now, but neither was at his house. It was in concert.

Yeah, he was living in it, so it was really awkward. Could you walk through and see him sitting in a lazy boy? Exactly. You would have to make an appointment, and then a guy would let you in the front gate, and then he'd be like... I mean, there were dirty dishes in the sink, and the pool wasn't filled because he couldn't afford to fill it, and it was just like, here's his kitchen, and there's his microwave, and it was just.

Really? And we were like, is he here right now? And he was like, um, maybe like, well, he come downstairs. He's like, well, I mean, sometimes if he needs to come downstairs and then it was when he was getting a divorce from his wife who masterminded this whole amazing scheme. And, uh, the, there was a gift shop that was actually their garage.

Like they just put like t-shirts and stuff in the garage. And there's like a one section of the t-shirts that were all like vintage 1980s t-shirts in a very specific women's size, which I'm pretty sure was just her trying to get rid of all of her Jerry shit. So I bought one. Did they have reasonable prices on their shirts though? What was the price on their shirts?

That's a good question. I mean, this was a really long time ago. This was probably like 97, I want to say it was like $ 10. That's not bad at all. Actually, I think everybody I'd want to hang out with are dead.

So unfortunately, I would hang out with Evel Knievel. i would do that i would hang out with steve mcqueen yeah i would go race bikes with steve mcqueen that would be awesome. Sad because most people that i would hang out too are also dead like i would i would pay 200 to go to like rod sterling's birthday that'd be awesome that would be amazing he would tell so many stories at least in my head i have this whole like fantasy of what it would be like to hang out with rod sterling and it would be just like Him tucking me in at night, tucking me into bed and telling me scary stories. And then he'd be smoking inside and you'd be coughing. You'd be like, right, second hand smoke. In my fantasy film.

He would sit in ashtray on top of you while he's talking. Here, honey, don't move. Sweet dreams. Sweet dreams of cancer and whatnot. But no, I could Yeah, I can't think of anybody alive that I would possibly spend $ 200 to hang out with.

Like, no. Like, I love Axl Rose, but. I would not want to hang out with her. Dude, I have the biggest. Totally called you on that one.

Dude, she's so hot. I'm not into chicks, and I don't want to do her. I just want to sit and look at her because she's so pretty. She's so hot. I don't even care, dude.

You could just get pictures of her then if you wanted to just sit and stare at her. You should pay her $ 200 and see if she'll let you take pictures. I would want to hang out. Because she does do that. I would want to hang out with Bunny.

Oh, God. Graveyard girl. Yeah, but I don't think you'd pay $ 200. I don't think. You have to.

Just call her. We could just go hang out at Walmart together. She'd be like, oh, my God, yes. I recently have a heterosexual girl crush on Bunny. I'm a little fascinated with her, and I just started last night watching her.

She's fascinated. Her teeth alone are just mesmerizing. I don't understand it. But she's just. This is a girl on YouTube.

She has her own YouTube channel, Graveyard Girl, if I'm not mistaken. Yes, but the E in grave is a three? Is a three, because I'm sure somebody took the other one. Jerks. She's fascinating, and at first I was drawn in.

I'm like, what's wrong with this girl's face? Just because she's like a cartoon character? She's so animated. She kind of is. She's just like.

She's more animated than a person should be, but that's just part of the awesomeness. There's nothing wrong with her face. It's just like no human's face. It's like a cartoon. Yeah, it's on a different level.

And I know I'm way behind on this craze. She's been around for several years, but I'd never heard of her. And I'm just like, I have to watch like two or three videos of her a day. Get my bunny fix. She reminds me of a couple, like a conglomeration of some people that I know.

But only, well, I mean, she looks like one of my friends. And then she looks like another person that we know kind of morphed together. But neither one of them have the amount of attitude and charisma and silliness. I think. Crack-headedness that she has so yeah she's pretty damn adorable.

Yeah she does command the screen when she's on her youtube screen she really she yeah she takes control you've. Only watched like what one two videos. I've seen a couple of them and i'm already just like that's the thing that was my message back to you is like what is wrong with her i'm a little bit creeped out and i want to simultaneously hang out with her i don't know what that means i'm confused. She's so adorable And it's just like, we have so many things in common. It's ridiculous.

She hates people that hum. I hate people that hum. You guys have a strange fascination with hand sanitizer. I love hand sanitizer like nobody's business. So much that it spilled over into my own stuff.

Like I was packing a backpack to go work the motorcycle show and I was digging through it and I was like, holy shit, there's hand sanitizer in here. I was like. Cool. I figured you were like, it seeped into your brain. So you're packing up your tools and you're like, I'm going to need my hands sanitized.

No, it was like tools and stuff like that. And then I was like, hey, there's hand sanitizer in here. Awesome. But then when do I sanitize my hands? Never.

You ungodly heathen of dirt. I don't. You should see me at work. I eat hamburgers with greasy, oily hands and I don't care. You dirt monger.

But yes, everybody should watch Bunny and it's Graveyard Girl with a three in the middle of it. And I'm not like being paid to like tell you this. Normally I'll just be like, I'm not endorsing them, but no, she's pretty entertaining. And she's very independent in her own right, so I'm all for supporting other people of our level of entertainment, we'll call ourselves. And she has this whole individual section of does this thing really work?

Where she tries out different as seen on TV hair products. And it usually has disastrous effects. But it's always entertaining to watch. Good times. And she goes to Walmart and Bed Bath & Beyond.

And she takes the camera with her. It's fascinating. Do we know where she lives? Is this a future guest? I think she's in Florida or Louisiana.

I thought it was Texas. I thought she lived in Austin. I think it's Texas. Well, she keeps talking about gators from the swamp. She does, for some reason, constantly reference gators, but I'm pretty sure her P.O. box is in Texas.

Okay, maybe she's in Texas. I don't get it. She loves her tea. Sippy, sippy. But Texas is kind of south.

It is, but it's also its own little world. But, I mean, we like tea, too. Sweet tea. The sweeter, the better. Hell, yeah.

Ouch. But, yes. Gator girl. Gator Girl. Look at that.

Graveyard Girl. Graveyard Girl. All right. We will plug her because she is kind of awesome. You want to plug her?

It's a very special episode of Graveyard Girl. Anyway, no, I don't need to pay $ 200 because I did get to hang out with somebody today, and it was Malcolm McDowell. So I think that's my wrap-up is going to be the cliffhanger there that somewhere in the near future, you guys have met our crew. So trying to piece together anything with them, God knows how long. So I'm not going to pin down a time.

I'm not going to say tune in next week for it because it ain't going to be next week. But just know there is an awesome Malcolm McDowell segment. And it's coming at you with a full episode built around it. So it was definitely a good day and a promising day for Movie Meltdown. So I'm glad I can say I did talk to a cinema legend.

You know, I mean, there's very few people, kind of like you were saying, like there's very few people that come in that category that you get to sit there and have a conversation with. So, you know, that was kind of awesome. Once he tore himself away from his phone because he was pretty enamored. That's everybody, though. He did that during the Q & A, too.

Did he really? He all of a sudden, like, a girl was asking a question, and he just, like, got out his phone, and he was like, oh. And then he was just like, um, so there's a soccer game on right now, so. And he's like, wait, I'm sorry, what was your question again? And he has an otter box.

So I was like, it would be so much cuter if it actually had an otter on it. Because, I mean, I'm very disappointed with that. If it had, like, an actual picture of an otter, I would totally have an otter box. But it doesn't, so I don't. Don't make Anna rocks through your phone.

I thought they did. Whatever, not important. I don't know. Yeah, I don't know that I would pay $ 200 to hang out with Amber Heard, because, yeah, I would just sit and look at her, and I could do that with magazines or on the internet. You don't have to just sit and look at her.

I told you, I don't want to, like. You can brush your hair. I could! Oh, my God. Wouldn't be as good as Pretty Hair Girls, but it would be pretty exciting.

Can I braid it too? Oh, I'm sure she'd let you braid. Can we have pillow fights? We can make s'mores. You put bows in your hair and have pillow fights.

Won't you paint my toenails? Because that would be so fun. Eat cereal and make s'mores. This is the best party ever. See?

Let's get this going. $ 200 pot, people. Kickstarter. Let's get this rolling. So. So I'm glad that I got to talk to him, and it took a lot of orchestrating that this weekend, and it took from Friday till the end of the day Sunday, but I snuck it in at the end there, and now we have that in our near future, so good to know.

Anything else to pass along? Nope. All right. It was a good time at Scarefest, so go to thescarefest.com and plan for next year's event, because, yeah, wide aisles, people. No weirdos rubbing up against you.

That should be a benefit. That's right. There's a selling point. And awesome guests. I mean, they brought in some really good people.

So every year, I mean, some of the most impressive people I've met, I've met at Scarefest. I could do without them ever having Zach Bagans there again. Again, it's the only paranormal thing around here. It's paranormal. So they'll draw in him and different people.

I can bring in that other Grant guy. I'm okay with him. Taps? Yeah. I don't know.

Grant? Grant? Hang out or anything or like have sleepovers or whatever. I want him to get the ghost facers. Ghost facers.

I want a ghost facer shirt. Okay, that would be actually pretty good if they got that. I want a ghost facer shirt. Ghost facers. Oh, God.

All right, so it was a good weekend. We'll wrap it up and get out of here. Otherwise, that about does it. We will return next week. Same geek time, same geek feed.

Thanks for listening. Ghost facers. Ghost, Ghost Basin' We face the ghost with our little mind We're the Ghost, Ghost Basin' Stay in the kitchen when the kitchen gets hot Ghost, Ghost Basin' We face the nightmare, we face the dread Ghost, Ghost Basin' We. Face the baseless, we face the dead They enter, they fall Into the supernatural. Bye.

It's one of these a week. Have you just figured that out? We've been doing this for like six years now. Oh, okay. Yeah.

Later. That is not me, by the way. Misty, stop drinking that water. You can't make me. Thirstiest dog ever.
