Ahoy, squirts! Quint here. The final episode of that great series documenting the talented king of geeks Mr. Bob Burns and the amazing Halloween shows he put on back in the '60s and '70s.
This last episode is the longest of the bunch and focuses on the very last show Bob did, which also happens to be the biggest show he ever did... recreating the Howard Hawks THE THING FROM ANOTHER WORLD down to the smallest detail.

Ahoy, squirts! Quint here. Episodes 1-4 of the fantastic Bob Burns' Hollywood Halloween documentary has been posted. Episode 4 focuses on two particularly great shows, including the Fox sponsored and assisted Alien show that starred none other than Chekov himself in the Dallas role! There's also a story of a particularly geek romance that developed that is as heartwarming as Bob's Halloween shows themselves.

Ahoy, squirts! Quint here. You should know the name Bob Burns. If you don’t then you will by the time I’m done with you, by God!
Now, Bob isn’t a famous journalist or actor or director. He’s not a well-known make-up man or a radio personality. In fact, if you just look at his credits his biggest claims to fame are assisting on builds for INVASION OF THE SAUCERMEN and IT CONQUERED THE WORLD, playing a gorilla on a ‘70s TV show called THE GHOSTBUSTERS and puppeteering Mac in the McDonald’s Mac Tonight commercial from the ‘80s.
