and yeah, even though Caruso's the least enjoyable in the movie, he still does a pretty good job.

So far we've just been getting a feel for things.  First day and all.  Sat next to Caroline Williams (Stretch from TCM 2) and bullshitted for a bit; it was nice.  Tom Savini put on a weird mask that made him look like a big black guy and snuck up on people to scare the shit out of them. Funny as Hell.  Here's a random pic of Herschell Gordon Lewis and Lloyd Kaufman hugging lol.  I'll update again.

Got this tattooed on my arm in the convention.  Everyone was watching, it was cool.  Popped my tat cherry at the horror con!  Boosh!




Also, here's John Russo and George Kosana.

what's the story behind the tat?

[devlin]

it looks like cthulu

[oldgentlovecraft]

It is Cthulhu, a skull of.  It's usually a symbol for the HPL HIstorical Society.  I'm doing all Lovecraft themed tats so I thought it was a good start.  I'll be heading out shortly so when I get back I'll share with everyone.

sweet man. you should get a cthulu vs. dagon epic battle, huge on your back. i totally plan on getting a cthulu tattoo. my next tattoo is going to be "the creature from the black lagoon" then cthulu.

He was but slipped in and out without many people knowing it.  Supposedly he did a panel on Sunday, after we left.

that's awesome, man. pics pics pics!!!

Here's the few that I got.  I feel odd trying to constantly snap shots of everyone.  It's as though we are all fans and these were the ones that were talented or lucky enough to contribute to the genre.   It's for that same reason that I don't yell out anyone's name as they pass when friends don't notice them.



Tom Towles from Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer (Otis)



Ruggero Deodato, the director of the infamous Cannibal Holocaust



And my tattoo.  It's still got a bit of the ink around it (was taken Saturday) and I haven't taken a new pic yet.

My prized item from the convention is this book:

http://www.amazon.com/Eaten-Alive-Italian-Cannibal-Zombie/dp/085965379X/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1236706803&sr=1-1

signed by Ruggero Deodato, Lamberto Bava, and Sergio Stivaletti.  Met all three and and got their Herbie Hancocks.  Was awesome.

That is awesome!  There is so much art out there for the Mythos that I am just going to start picking my favorites and piecing everything together.  I'm only doing black ink though.  Sharper.

Fucking awesome. Ahh, I'd love to go to a horror convention.

It's so relaxed and fun.
