A Monkey And Mummy Mystery Solved!

What do the two photos have in common?

The little girl in the photo with Tracy the Gorilla is the same woman dusting the Mummy, in a scene from Greg Nicotero's amazing short film, THE UNITED MONSTER TALENT AGENCY!

It's Beth Hathaway, costume designer and fabricator at KNB FX! Beth is just one of the many guest stars appearing in BEAST WISHES. In the film, she tells the story of Bob Burns showing up at her 8th birthday party as his GHOSTBUSTERS alter ego, Tracy. Years later, Beth would create the costume for THE THING in Bob and Kathy's final Halloween spectacular.

Thank you, Beth, for sharing your fond memories of Bob and Kathy in BEAST WISHES!

Tune back in tomorrow for the answer!

The Strangest Of Things

Glenn Strange, the wonderful actor who portrayed the Frankenstein Monster in HOUSE OF FRANKENSTEIN, HOUSE OF DRACULA and ABBOTT & COSTELLO MEET FRANKENSTEIN poses with his character during an early Halloween show at Bob and Kathy Burns' home.

In his later years, Glenn was "like a second Dad" to Bob. You can hear Bob talk about their friendship (and many other famous folks) in BEAST WISHES!

It All Started With A Trip To The Movie Show...

For Bob Burns, it all began at a movie house like this one, showing this particular film, FRANKENSTEIN MEETS THE WOLF MAN. And what happened immediately afterward? Well, it looked something like this:

Mighty Joe Dante!

A current resident of Bob's Basement who shares
his first name with our guest star.

We had the great pleasure of filming an interview with director Joe Dante, who created such classics as PIRANHA, THE HOWLING and GREMLINS. Joe spoke of his great admiration and fondness for Bob and Kathy Burns, and the importance of men in gorilla suits, among other things. Take note of the very nice nice paperweight to Joe's left in the photo below:
