Creepy Autographs, Part 1

This is the first of (hopefully) several posts featuring my creepy autograph collection.

First up are some autographs I got at the Monster Bash. The first Bash I went to was in 2005 where I got these...

It's so hard to type with your nose...

My previous comment, which has vanished because of my techno-bungling, was this:

I most certainly will be buying the drinks the next time we meet, Wonderful Wonderblognar!

I thank you a googol units of 13 karat gratitude!

Great stuff, Erick. I also really liked the post of your parents' costumes.

Hi Erick -- cool blogsite! I was googling for photos of Sara Karloff for a current art project when I stumbled onto your pageful of autographs from Monster Bash, and I was pleasantly surprised to see that a couple of the signatures are on things I designed! I did the "4SJ's UFO" caricature for Forry Ackerman, and the cover, label and the rest of the packaging art for John Zacherle's "Interment for Two" CD.
I'm also the webmonster of "E-gor's Chamber of TV Horror Hosts," so I appreciate how much work goes into a site like this. Hope to run into you at the Bash this year -- I haven't missed one yet, though I haven't been involved with putting it on like I was for the first five years or so.
Keep up the great work!
