Oops! Sorry. I just saw that you DID mention ProfStokes. My bad 

'S okay.  

Sorry that these aren't the greatest.  The smoke didn't help with photographing Selby's performance.

Sideburns!
Birthday boy Cobert.  Isn't ProfStokes' vest the coolest thing?

I was just wondering where to buy this?  I just checked Amazon and didn't see it?  Thanks!!

I have to ask, did Barbara Steele sign any autographs? (He doth ask with baited breath...)

I couldn't tell you if she sat at the autograph table (see reply #8  ) but I asked her to sign a photo of her as Dr. Hoffman and she was very gracious and friendly.  I was tickled crimson.

Switching reels again, I was trying to figure out why I'm not feeling the same disappointment about the evening as ProfStokes and joe integlia.  Then it hit me-- duh, it's because my expectations about the scheduled events were so low.  The last ShadowGram had already downgraded the musical portion so far that I wouldn't have been surprised if they'd just played a music CD while Robert Cobert sat in the audience (and I was half right).  I hadn't seen the tribute to Dan Curtis, and I'm glad I got to see his Emmy presentation and speech, but I knew at the recent Fest that I'd have numerous chances to see it.  The [ShadowGram] promise of a "big-screen presentation of unusual DS material" seemed suspect to me as well, and I'm sorry, but the NoDS trailer and blooper reel do not qualify.  I even debated blowing off the evening, but decided that catching up with friends, some that I hadn't seen in a year or more, made it worth being there, plus I wanted to meet Barbara Steele, and for those reasons the night didn't disappoint.

I suppose he means three separate characterizations?  Lugosi was Count Dracula in ACMF and then the original movie.  The other vampire creations were under a different name if my memory serves correctly.  Lugosi played Count Dracula in a few revivals on the road.

He was referring to his portrayal of a vampire in movies.  Sorry, I forgot to mention "movies".  He played Dracula twice, and Tessla once-- just 3 times as a vampire.  Christopher Lee played Dracula in something like 10 movies.

Here's someone's blog entry about the event. It includes photos.

Where the heck was the autograph line?, the clueless moderator asked.

I don't know nothin' 'bout no "self-absorbed," but Selby poured his all into the performance, emoting the hell out of "Shadows of the Night."  A friend likened the audience reaction to that of a rock star-- flashing cameras, screams and squeals, and thunderous applause at the beginning and end.

Good pic of the grammophone.  I'm sure someone will be reporting about Selby's entrance, which may have been the best ever at a DS event.
