BATMAN 1966! HOLY BAT Week!


I picked up this original production painting by LESLIE THOMAS this week at auction! It is from the episode "THE RING OF WAX" and the painting measures 20" x 30"! ZOWIE! POW! ZAM!

I own this picture from the BATMAN 1966 Feature film promotional tour.

Very cool magazine my friend Chris Wolfson sent me this week!

I have the original slide of this image!

NIGHT BASEBALL



Boy did that SUPER FAST pitching sting tonight. I pulled a muscle in my right hand with one swing and it is a bit painful to type this BUT we had fun on this 60 degree night! The last time we were there it was 92 degrees!

ILLYA KURYAKIN : THE MAN FROM U.N.C.L.E.

With the change in weather (In the Chicagoland area), I decided to try on my 2008 Halloween costume. It was 92 degrees in Chicago yesterday and it is in the 60's right now...I feel FALL coming! I decided to go as ILLYA to the ANNUAL ALEX ROSS HALLOWEEN PARTY this year (If he decides to have one this year). I had the HALLOWEEN PARTY at my house last year. I was also sorry to hear that BILL MELENDEZ passed today at age 91. I just watched the newly release GREAT PUMPKIN DVD last night and he looked good in the documentary.



"Open Channel D!"
"BOO!"

JamesDean.comJosh and I are planning a trip to Fairmount, Indiana this year, to remember one of our favorite actors. I wrote a song about him on my first CD "James Byron Dean."

TALES OF THE WIZARD OF OZ

I still have Volume 1 and 2 of the RANKIN/BASS OZ Collector's DVDs for sale and expecting Volume 3 any day now. Love this series designed by TONY PETERS. LARRY D. MANN did a wonderful job with the voice of the wicked witch!

FRANKENSTEIN, JR.

Now that FUNKO issued their sensational FRANKIE, JR. bank, I am enjoying FRANKIE JR. items once again! Here is a cool slide puzzle!

TRAILER PARK

I saw the trailer for JACK FROST on the NEW I'TS THE GREAT PUMPKIN, CHARLIE BROWN DVD last night! The Announcer says it includes "Crafts! SING-A-LONGS!" WOW! Just what we wanted to see on a SPECIAL EDITION DVD. This company TRAILER PARK was hired to do the extras and apparently they are working out of a TRAILER PARK. The DOC on the GREAT PUMPKIN was not very good. It had people in it that did not work on the special or have any association with SPARKY and they threw in some bad generic Rock music behind the interviews?
