LOL!
Wow, that last post…fangirl much? Lol. I am still bouncing off the walls a little after meeting Clive, but I’ve calmed down some. Enough to post this picture of me from TFW with Angus Scrimm from Phantasm.
Aw, isn’t he adorable? And so sweet and friendly, too. It was a pleasure and an honor to meet him. This is probably my favorite photo from the convention (after the one of me with Clive of course).
Phantasm doesn’t get a mention in Fear and Laundry (something I plan to rectify in the next book, as it is one of my favorites), but Subspecies does. I was quite happy that during his TFW Q&A panel, Mr. Scrimm gave a shout-out to the sweet wig he wore in it. Unfortunately, I couldn’t find a picture of it to post here. You can catch a couple glimpses of it in the trailer above, however. At about 0:09 and 1:00. Hee, hee.
Please pardon the big, silly grin on my face. I just got back from Texas Frightmare Weekend in Dallas and OMG, it was probably the best weekend of my life!!!
I’d been to a couple of horror cons before this and they were fun and everything but…this time I got to meet Clive Barker, who has been a huge hero of mine for over twenty years. I really never thought I’d get to meet him, much less talk to him and watch him draw a sketch right in front of me, just for my husband and me. It was surreal. And a dream come true. He was so nice and funny and classy and even more amazing than I could ever have imagined.
Frankly, I don’t know how the rest of my life is going to follow this up. Lol.
I’ve got pictures and stuff and will write about the weekend in more detail soon, but for now I’m just still so discombobulated…happy sigh. Enjoy the Hellraiser trailer, won’t you? This movie is what started my whole obsession with Barker in the first place.
