I think we all did, ha ha ha, I'd have caption on mine" One of the character's I drew had caption saying "Eat Shit and Die Mother Fucker!" and one of my teachers liked my art saw that picture and was shocked said "Eli!" I said what he showed me what he was refering to, didn't get into trouble though he was a good teacher, understood it was merely an expression of a then 11 year old, trying to add anger to the character. ha ha while at the time the said creature was tearing the throat out of his victim with his teeth.

But I also bought a vile of zombie dirt (cemetary dirt he got from that cemetary in 1968 when they shot it!) From John Russo I swear that's why my house is haunted too probably.. But it is funny cause I actually met Doyle there too I'm pretty sure that same day! Cause I went every year when they still did them! I grew up listening to the Misfits!

Love all horror movies!! Classics and originals are the best in my book. I see he mentions Night of the Living Dead. Greatest movie ever made!! Love it so much, I own 5 copies including colorized version and was sweet to meet some of the original actors from that movie. Wonder if he likes the original Dracula movie with Bela on it or Creature from the Black Lagoon. My first movie was when I was 5. I saw Motel Hell. Made me not want to eat any meat sticks like slim jims for a long time. Glenn is a great guy. Awesome singer and very talented. Sweet he loves horror movies too. He also has great taste in books and comics too.

@marykennedy351 6 жыл бұрын

My love of horror showed up when I used to draw skulls with mohawks or skeletons with spiked leather jackets or even exploding heads complete with eyes flying. But my love of horror showed even more when I used to use my study hall time in school to not only do drawings, but write short horror stories. Anything from zombies, to people turning into other creatures to visits to a cemetary and have a really bad encounter with the grim reaper himself. I handed one of my stories in to one of my teachers and she returned it to me with a happy face and a comment of how I am a female version of Stephen King which was the best comment I ever got. Since that comment, I still, to this day, write short horror. Never published, but write. Maybe someday.

Sigourney Weaver! Really I don't see that at all. What I see in this interview is one of the most unique talented composer/songwriter/artist with a black velvet voice. Who is legendary and has a legacy of music and art that will transcend him into music/art history. Plus in his younger days he was absolutely one of the finest examples of the masculine male form. Aesthetically very pleasing to the eye, a powerful presence, and with an infectious smile. And now even in his later years he is the same just older. He is one hell of a very fine looking man. I just don't see Miss Weaver!

@MaskedRiderChris Жыл бұрын

I think that his point is how reality is worse than fiction, like how the ending of "Suddenly, Last Summer" hit him harder than most any other movie did at the time. Those who have read the Verotik comics (like I did back in the day) will notice that other than "Satanika" or "Igrat"? The monsters are usually people being people, and people are not nice most of the time. That's what I think anyway.
