Ormsby Scares the Heck Out of a Hotel Maid

Ormsby and I went to Chiller Theatre Expo this past weekend. It was the best convention I've been to in years. The staff was great and I met a lot of great people. I highly recommend it.

We stayed at the hotel where Chiller was held. On Saturday morning I thought it would be funny to take some photos of Ormsby sitting in bed sleeping and wearing sun glasses. After taking the photos I went into the bathroom and a few seconds later I hear the maid come in to clean the room.

"Hello, maid service," she said.

"I'll be right out," I said.

Suddenly I hear her scream. I run out of the bathroom to see her pointing at Ormsby (see photo above), a look of horror on her face. I had to calm her down and explain who Ormsby was. A moment later she was laughing.

Ormsby slept through the whole thing.

Until Next Time,

Stay Insane!

Ormsby Meets Alice Cooper at Chiller Theatre April 2010

Ormsby and I had our picture taken with the legendary Alice Cooper at the Chiller Theatre Expo this past Friday night. As you can see, Alice learned not to lay a finger on Ormsby's Butterfinger.

A big thank you to everyone at Chiller Theatre for a wonderful weekend and to Alice Cooper for being so nice.

Sorry about the hand, Alice.

Until Next Time,

Stay Insane!

Elvira Hosts Chiller Theatre in New York on Halloween

This year Elvira Mistress of the Macabre will host WPIX New York's Chiller Theatre showing of The Evil of Frankenstein. I'm so happy I could melt into a blob.

I was a pre-teen and teen in the 1980's, and as I may have said before I missed the big horror host boom here in New York. So all I had was Chiller Theatre, which had no host, and the Nationally syndicated Elvira. Chiller went off the air in I believe 1982. Elvira was shown on a out of state UFH station and went off (at least on the only station I could find her on) about 1984. Since then it's been slim bone pickings for us New Yorkers.

Now it looks like WPIX will be bringing back Chiller as a yearly event at Halloween. Personally I'd like to see it every week with a horror host, but I'll take what I can get.

So if you live in New York and get WPIX, let them know you want your Chiller!!! Maybe if we make our screams loud enough they'll hear us and put it back on.
