Monster Bash 2012

Ok, it's over 6 months away, but the Bash will have Arch Hall Jr. as a guest! How terrific is that? He and Richard Kiel will be there for an Eegah reunion. I met Richard back on 2007, but now's my chance to meet Arch! Wowee-wow-wow!!

  Man, Arch Hall Jr!! That would definitely be a cool autograph to get!

[Lonster]

And if all goes accordingly, Arch will be playing with the Bash Boys!

Awesome!! Something fresh.

Man, if I have to crawl I'm going to that Bash! Meeting Martine Beswick is going to be great, too! rowr!  

[DrDread]

Bert I. Gordon will also be there and I picked up a movie poster on Ebay for NECROMANCY a movie he directed staring Orson Wells. Can't wait to get that autograph.

Bert I. Gordon!! MAN I would love to meet him and get an autograph!

Burt I. is a wonderful guest. He has lots of great stories about his movies, hanging out of a helicopter to film and stuff like that. -- Bob P.

I've had a chance to talk with Bert a couple of times at the Bash and he's a joy to speak with; lots of great stories about his film-making experiences. My only regret is that he didn't know what became of the giant hypodermic needle prop from Amazing Colossal Man....i'd have loved to have that in my living room! Great for greeting door-to-door salesmen too!

Just got my Monster Bash 2011 docu-DVD. Great memories, fun interview clips, but unfortunately also featuring the Lonster's singing! I guess nothing's perfect.... 

[Lonster]

 Well, I'm working on that singing (I know -- work HARDER! LOL). The 2011 Bash disc is lot of fun. Charles H. does a fantastic job!

I agree, it's thoroughly enjoyable, and a great introduction to the Bash for anyone who hasn't been there yet

Just looked at the proposed line-up for June's convention! There are usually a few changes before the convention starts, but it already looks like a great line-up, now including Gregg Palmer from The Creature walks Among Us and From Hell It Came! Oh, yeah, he also worked with John Wayne, and according to Wikipedia, failed to get the role of "Lil' Abner" for a proposed TV series. The actress who failed to get the Daisy Mae role? Marylin Monroe! Can't wait to hear what he has to say!

Plus, there's wall-to-wall dinosaur movies! How great is that?

[Pauspy]

Bash is just over a month away!! I've been so busy lately the time has flown by. but now it's definitely Bash season. Got the get the old buggy tuned up and ready for the butt-breaking three-day drive to Butler! Mmmmm, I can taste those rest-stop hot dogs already! Cruising the interstates, listening to the Beatles, ELO, The Guess Who, the Spinners,  and the Steve Miller Band, singing them poorly at the top of my lungs. Killing time at the Menards across from the Super 8 in Minneapolis (you can "save big money at Menards"). Haunting the cheese and bratwurst superstores in Wisonsin. Listening to the great Spanish-language radio stations through Chicago. Sleeping through northern Indiana (sorry Indiana, but that stretch is very, um, relaxing). Crusiing past Cleveland and wondering if I should stop at the Rock n' Roll Hall of Fame on the way back. Curving into Pennsylvaina and cranking up the classic horror movie soundtracks as I approach Butler! There it is, the Days Inn!!

Home again!

Been rummaging around to find stuff for Bob's Bin of Bargains. And I've been practicing this year's Bash Boys line-up -- and the Bash Boys will be playing with Arch Hall Friday night.

Team Bash will  be doing some last-minute details at the hotel today.

Fasten your seat belts. Next stop: BASH.
