Horror Icons Youve Met

[hueyisme]

The only celebrity I have ever met was Clayton Moore, he played The Lone Ranger on tv. I guess I could say I once met Eddie Albert, he was coming out of a back door at CBS studios and we ran into each other, almost knocked each other down. I guess you could call that a meeting.

Here's me with Gunnar Hansen. He was so nice. I asked him some questions, figuring he'd give quick answers and then I'd be on my way, but he was so engaging, asking us what we do and so on. It was amazing. Great dude.

I've also met, on the other hand, Tom Savini who was kind of a prick. I met Tony Todd, Ken Foree, Michael Berryman, and a few others at various horror conventions. Oh, and once in downtown Chicago I almost bumped into Buddy Guy.

You're the second person to say that Tom Savini wasn't very nice.

Yeah, it was a bummer. I used to idolize that guy when I was a kid, and it was very thrilling to see him in person at first. But it was ultimately disappointing.

shame u say that i very much would have loved to meet him, one of my fave make up artist. i have seen george a romero, only from a distance at a signing, people said he is a nice guy, i dint go in because the que was long and it was £30 pound to see him. what dint u like about savini.

I've always heard stories about Tom Savini being difficult, which is a shame because I like his work. No matter how much someone's contributed to something I enjoy, it really works against me wanting to meet them if they're standoffish or rude.

George Romero has always given me the impression of being a nice guy, John Landis as well.

We talked a little and she signed a big book on zombies that I have. A very nice lady, refined but down-to-earth.

Good god *drools* checking it on youtube now.

He was just very much into himself and standoffish. You could tell he thought he was hot shit, and seemed very uninterested in being there, which is just so completely irritating.
