I'm taking a tiny break from all my
I see the ol' place has acquired a few more cobwebs and a blanket of dust since I've been away... and it feels just right.
Hey listen, while we're up here relaxing, maybe you can help me out with a little biznizz for a buddy of mine. I sure hope so.
My friend Cortlandt Hull is a legend in the Monster Making world, and probably needs no introduction to most of you loyal S&Pers. You've probably seen him here once or twice -- he doesn't drink much, but he's got some of the best pub-time tales about our favorite monsters (and movie monster makers!) you've ever heard.
The amazing Joe Moe (L), your pubkeep and Cortlandt Hull (R) goofing for the
camera in front of the always gorgeous Witch's Dungeon display at
Monsterpalooza '11.
Cortlandt is a real ar-teest -- a fantastic painter, makeup artist, graphic designer, illustrator, and most famously to Monster and Hallowe'en Kid fandom, a writer, producer, director and the wonderful horror figure maker and creator of the historic Witch's Dungeon Classic Movie Museum, a Bristol CT monster museum that just this past Fall celebrated its 45TH year delighting and thrilling Monster Kids (and their kids!) every Hallowe'en season.
Well, Cortlandt's latest horror-iffic homage is in the works, and needs the help of all us Kooky Monster Kids.
Just watch this, please. He'll explain everything...
If you would please shamble over to Cortlandt's Kickstarter page for The Phantom of the Opera: Unmasking The Masterpiece and consider any donation you can handle. There are many levels of funding and each comes with its own perks and Phantom-ish swag.
It is more than a worthy project to fund -- it's a chance to help preserve one of the most iconic films in cinema history, and of our Hallowe'en and Monster Kid heritage.
There are only 27 days left to raise the needed funds, and the planned DVD set is going to be such an awesome addition to every avid Horror Lover's movie library that you will be very, very glad you had a part in making it happen.
Please tell your friends, and refer them to the Kickstarter link above.
A toast -- to Cortlandt, the Witch's Dungeon, and getting full funding for Unmasking The Masterpiece...
DUMDUMSHREKPOP!
