well, its about time i got around to it, but my lazy ass is finally going to do a picture update about going to the Rock & Shock convention in Worcester. It's a little something I like to call:
BuckyKatt666 and The Pants go to the HORROR CONVENTION!!!
First and foremost, I would like to apologise for my facial hair and state, for the record, that it looks pretty good once its grown in completely (this takes about 2 months, because I am a quasi-manchild and cannot grow facial hair with any rapiditiy).
So, after staying up all night working on a self-promotion piece and listening to stand-up comics (Dane Cook and Eddie Izzard) I hopped a bus to Worcester to meet up with my best friend in the whole wide world: The Pants.
At this point, it had not dawned on me that I would be meeting, up close and in person, the people who have personified some of my all-time favorite horror characters. Now, I've met some famous people in my day, I mean shit, I've met and interviewed three of my all-time favorite singers, and didn't really give too much of a shit. People are just people, that's how it is to me. Its not fame that impresses me, its achievement and achievement does not give anyone cause to gaggle and goggle like a teenage girl...
Unless of course, you are famous for being in a horror movie! In which case, I turn into jelly-kneed, stuttering fool. I can't help it, these people are so hopelessly attached in my mind to the imagery that has given me so much inspiration as well as good times...
The very first person we saw was Jeffery Combs, the Re-Animator, but I was totally unprepared for meeting him and The Pants thought it was really funny seeing me all geeked-out, so he refused to ask Jeff to take a picture with us, forcing the responsibility upon me.
So, first we ran across the overly-fun and extremely friendly duo of Sid Haig and Bill Moseley from HOUSE OF 1000 CORPSES. This is me and The Pants with Sid, who portrayed CAPTAIN SPAULDING in the movie.
Sid is pretty cool and actually sort of talks like CAPTAIN SPAULDING, which, is slightly off-putting. We meandered down the table to talk with Bill Moseley, who played the Johnny-Winter-as-serial-killer character of OTIS in the same flick. He was pretty crazy. He slipped in and out of character for the hell of it. After the screening of HOUSE OF 1000 CORPSES he gave this great little demonstration on the differences between playing OTIS and playing CHOP-TOP (from TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE 2). Notice the Misfits patches he has stitched to his knees.
At this point, I had developed sufficient courage to approach the star of my favorite mad-scientist-creates-zombies movie. The dude who plays Jason was there, as well as the guy who was Leatherface in the TCM remake, but none of them compare to: HERBERT WEST, the RE-ANIMATOR!!! I, of course, tried speaking, but failed miserably, I managed to geek out a request for a picture while The Pants was laughing at me, and Re-Animator was cool enough to oblige us.
Afterwards, we ran into Darian Caine, the star of a softcore horror/porn movie called MISTRESS FRANKENSTEIN and I was incredibly dissapointed that I left my copy at home and couldn't get it autographed. We told Miss Caine all about how we actually watched the movie all of the way through (and we did, without fast-forwarding to the naked parts). I don't think she believed us. She was easily the best-smelling person we met that day.
And, no trip is complete without meeting Jerry Only. This isn't even the ONLY picture I have of him and I together... But, The Pants had never had his picture taken with him, so, I felt we needed to do, like, a family portrait, of sorts...
Jerry Only is so fucking cool (despite himself). He does absolutely insane and bizarre stuff, sold the Misfits out a million times over and seems to live in a perpetual state of having his foot in his mouth, BUT, he's really fucking FRIENDLY and that's just cool in my book.
And, that is the time The Pants and I went to the Horror Convention. For those of you who have not met me in person, please know that I am ALWAYS this much of a dork, it is precisely this comfort with my dorkitude that makes me the fun dude that I am!
(Although, I SWEAR TO CHRIST I am cuter in real life).
(And, honestly, how about The Pants? show of hands, who here would jump his bones if they ever got the chance? I totally would, if I could get over that pesky not-being-gay thing).
