My pal Dave Harms paid me a visit tonight and picked up his Frosty books! He and his collection are featured in the introduction of the book! A fun Halloween Frosty evening! ☃️

I wore this Rudolph costume in 2001 (the year my book The making of the Rankin/Bass Holiday classic: Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer was released) to one of the many Alex Ross Halloween parties I attended (That is Alex's Mother's art behind me). My sister Lindsey Pignatiello later wore this costume on an episode of Wild Chicago on PBS 🎅 The nose lit up with a button. HAPPY HALLOWEEN 🎃 #Halloween #Rudolphtherednosedreindeer #rankinbassproductions

I ordered a Halloween mask three months ago from Trick or Treat..for Halloween! UPS delayed shipment twice and now says it is coming Monday? I look at their online ratings and they have one star 🤣 Pretty poor service. On a lighter note, a Producer from Antiques Roadshow wants to interview me for his podcast show Detours tonight (I guess it will be used for TV too..as we are doing camera) about Rudolph and Santa 🎅 #friday

Getting all cleaned up for the weekend 🎃

I just signed on to do a new Rankin/Bass' Mad Monster Party? Magazine article for RetroFan issue #17 (Out October 2021)! Don't miss my article in issue #12 on Rudolph (Out December 2020)!
