My stepfather George Dennis Case Jr. was the last "Frankenstein". But they were calling him "The Monster" back then for copyright reasons. He unfortunately passed away in 2001 and I watched this documentary to see if I could find him. And there was one picture where I did...
I joined Knotts Scary Farm this year and became one of the characters for the maze Origins. I wanted to do it for my Mom and in memory of him. It can be a little emotional for me at times because I'm just a year older now than he was when he died.
I love you George. I'm sorry we couldn't have more time together. You were a great father figure for me when I was just a stupid little kid.

I just tripped myself out because I was just listening to this while working and then looked at the screen to pause for a moment and stopped on the frame of my father being on the screen. 1:01:31

So happy to have learned of how incredible Mel’s contribution was to the monsters, makeup and so many individuals she touched

Some of the best memories with my family as a kid who was and is a horror fan. The haunted houses were awesome!!!

I feel like Universal Studios has slowly taken the crown and surpassed Knotts at this point in time the advancement in tech and lighting and makeup, they invented horror after all, and the event is so big for them now it's getting a year round location in Vegas.

Im watching the bonus feature of the session of screams, and noticed that you hadn't added bigfoot rapids ride maze ride the revenge of bigfoot/ bigfoots revenge in the video. That maze/ rides last appearance at the Halloween haunt was back in 1999.

[wickedphantm]

Kind of crazy how they made a whole Halloween special that didn't spend any time on the costumes... which is THE THING that Halloween is all about.
