Here in Brazil

[Meek]

    But dearest Ray, will Thy head fit through the doorway of the plane for your return trip?

    How absolutely bloody marvelous for you! You know, this could be the start of a new career for you. Ya done good.

    "Meek"(as proud as if you were kinfolk)

Well,that's it guys,the price of Raymond's autograph just went up !!!!
We're all proud of you Raymond !

You know what else Mojica was talking about?  You're not going to believe this.  He was going on and on about non other than - Matt and Nancy Jaycox!

Yes, he loves them!  He could not stop praising the Coffin Joe doll they made.  He was telling everyone about it.  He wants me to give him their contact info.  As I type this, he's probably dreaming about that doll!  I think they are going to have to make him one, or they are liable to get cursed.

Oh..... crap....

Raymond, I am so happy for you! I can only imagine how incredible an experience this must have been. So how does it feel to be a superstar?

[Jim Bertges]

Wonderful, Ray, just wonderful. The rest of us can only fantasize about our horror heroes, but you have not only met yours you have impressed him and given back to him in the same manner in which he has given to you with a great performance. I am very happy for you, congratulations.

Greetings Mr. Castile,
     Being new to the UMA and not having had the opportunity to personally meet any of my monster brethren & sisters, I must say this sounds like the coolest thing ever.  Shamedly, I have not yet actually seen any of the Coffin Joe flicks!  Have heard of them for years, but have just recently been thinking of tracking them down.  I will definitely do so in the near future.  In any event, I tip my hat off of my bald head, to you.

Your fellow cryptid fiend,
The Unknown Primate

Wow Raymond. That's the stuff dreams are made of. What can I say? Your in the zone brother. Just don't get too big for the UMA, or I will hunt you down and gouge your eyeballs out. But not before I break a beer bottle over your head.

Bravo Ray! Glad to hear you're living the high life!

Did you get a chance to show Mojica your Date with Coffin Joe?

Raymond, your long post about Altas Horas was one of the MOST delightful and fun-filled pieces of writing I've had the pleasure to read in many a day.  I'd give a lot to have a recording of that whole show!  Seeing you come on stage and rattle on in Portuguese would be a hoot and a half.  Living the dream, my friend--I hope you are "journaling" and keeping a record of every moment.  This thrill ride is onlly the beginning-- you are well on your way to becoming the toast of Brazilian horror!  Missouri is gonna seem mighty tame.  I'm sure Vincent Price, Missouri's OTHER horror icon, felt the same when he came home to visit.

Thank you everyone!

Here is an MTV page with a picture of me from the film:

There is nothing on that page relating to the premiere, though.  I am hoping they will put some video up soon.

Here are some clips from the film.

I am back home in Missouri.  Ugh!

[typhooforme]

Welcome home, Raymond, to Missouri--where reality, like rigor mortis, needs must set in.  Acclimate slowly, my friend. 

[Meek]

     Could be worse----it could be raining and you've returned home to Iowa.

[SpankRamen]

Thanks for taking us to those clips. I love the clip of the torture scene the most!
