I'm reminded of the day I met George Romero (you KNOW who he is - - don't make me SMACK you!!) and the first thing I said to him as he was signing an autograph picture for me was "Well, first off I want to THANK YOU for scaring the shit outta me all these years!" and he looked at me with the most sincere look I've ever seen and said
"Oohhhh.... I'm SORRY!!"
- - as if I had meant that LITERALLY - and he was imagining me ACTUALLY having involuntary BOWEL MOVEMENTS in my pants...
Well - - THIS Halloween goes out to ole' George... and yes - - once again THANK YOU, sir!! You're right up there with all the greats who've one way or the other have made this such a continuing odd holiday - - filled with monstrous delights filled with your zombie creations!
Do yourself a favor, folks - - watch the ORIGINAL Night Of The Living Dead - - when all the Trick Or Treaters have rang their last doorbell for the night... even if you've seen it a hundred times already - - just to remind yourself what good old fashion scares feel like again - - and thrill again to that ominous catchphrase "They're coming to GET YOU, Barbara!!"
