Movie Meltdown - Episode 133

Join us live from Fright Night Film Fest/FandomFest where we immediately meet The Fonz (Henry Winkler), then we hang out and watch the passers-by, as well as a quick session with C. Thomas Howell and one of the crew tells not one - but two babysitter stories from their childhood. You wouldn’t think you could hear a cooler story then the first one…until you hear the second one. Seriously, terrific stories…don’t miss them!

Plus as we ponder just how many multi-sided die a person can have, we mention…a girl with cat ears endlessly dancing, masonic vampires, Wolf fanny packs, working with Spielberg and Coppola, eating cake at a convention?, bothering a vendor, is that zombie make-up, or just really bad acne?, the little girl from The Walking Dead, a Jacob's Ladder of horror fandom, Cinderella’s on!!, Southland, sleeping in a coffin as a child, topless girl werewolf, a stunt kid who could act, rebuilding a hippie girl in your garage from spare parts and your outfit would be complete with a mask.

* A limited number of "John Carpenter was my Babysitter" t-shirts are still available. Contact us to get yourself one!

“Excuse me - demon…but you’re messing up my shot here.”
