Third Chapter of the BOB BURNS Documentary hits! The Exorcist, War of the Worlds and THE TIME MACHINE!!!

Hey folks, Harry here - I've still never met Bob Burns. It is, thus far, the big missing point of my geek life. Like many of you, I've known Bob's name pretty much my entire life... although it didn't always refer to this Bob Burns. You see, Austin had its own Bob Burns. And he was a wild, crazy make-up effects man. I never attended one of Los Angeles' Bob Burns shows - but on my 3rd Birthday party, the Austin BOB BURNS came to my birthday party from the wrapping of THE TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE. Leatherface came charging into my living room in full costume, chainsaw blaring - the kids & THE GROWN UPS went scattering... I was given a prop hand from the set of the film - and the grown-ups all continued to party - and Bob gave me a toy pull-string Chainsaw.... that I still have today. The point of this story is to just communicate just how awesome the technicians and folks that make movies can be. That's the point of these documentaries... This latest one can actually make you tear up, especially during the George Pal revisiting his Time Machine on Bob's set. It's amazing to me how props find their way into Collector's Hands. And that Bob would throw shows around his props for people. It's so inspiring. I mean... I have the Armchair from the original TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE, one of the Leatherface masks from TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE II, the chainsaw from the sequel to the remake of TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE, and I know where all the Bone furniture from the original film is... It sort of has me thinking about how awesome it would be to throw a full on TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE Halloween show... shit, I could play the guy in the wheelchair... and I could probably talk Ed Neal into reprising his role as the Hitchhiker for a night. (Well... maybe I could, might have to trade him a primo poster or something.) Hmmmm... perhaps for next year! Anyway, the latest BOB BURNS doc is up over at: Bob Burns Hollywood Halloween!!! Check it out, the story continues!!!
