  (#16) Roddy Piper

  • Wrestler

  Posted by u/West-Sharp:

  We met Rowdy Roddy Piper, who was one of the nicest people at the entire convention. His assistant kept telling him he needed to go so he could make his flight, but there were so many people lined up at his table that he refused to budge until he could meet (almost) everyone.

  I told him that I loved all of his work, but that I would never forget his special appearance on the Super Mario Brothers Super Show VHS tape that I had when I was younger. He smiled from ear-to-ear and said, "Oh, man, no one ever remembers that!" Then he gave me a big bear hug and told me about how the guy that played Mario in that show legally changed his name to Mario (which he pronounced Mareio).

  If you're wondering what he sounded like, he sounded exactly like his wrestler character The Maniac on It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia.

  (#7) Doug Bradley

  I met him was at Mad Monster. He absolutely refuses to dress up for photo ops because he says, "The stupidest thing to have Pinhead standing in an empty room with fans."

  So he pitched an idea: To make a replica of the attic from the first movie with a working Puzzle box and everything.

  The experience was phenomenal! He said he is planning to work with Mad Monster to do it more often because "It is what we owe the fans."

  (#10) Clive Barker

  Clive Barker (my personal favorite). I mentioned to him that Thief of Always was my daughter's favorite book (she was 10 at the time). He seemed really touched and drew an original piece of art in the battered paperback I presented to him. I'll never forget that.

  Barbara Crampton is the nicest celebrity I've ever met. She talked to me about my favorite movies, my job, all kinds of stuff. I got a little star struck 'cause she's so hot.

  (#8) Jamie Lee Curtis

  • Actor

  I really have no memory of this, but...

  When I was five years old (spring 1981) my family was on vacation in Colorado. We were at a Budget car rental office in Denver while they were shooting a commercial. Apparently, I walked right up to the nice young actress girl and asked her to help me open my box of animal crackers.

  Anyway, two or three years later my parents (never horror fans) see an Eddie Murphy comedy called Trading Places and say, "Hey! That's the girl from the car place that was so nice to Baby Kevin."

  I took me like another 10 years to figure out I asked Jamie Leigh Curtis to open my Animal Crackers.

  Angus Scrimm was the nicest [actor] I've met. He talked to my ex-wife and I for awhile and held her hand like he was her old grandpa.
