After a few emails back and forth with Mr. Warlock, he let me know he was going to be passing through my part of town this week. We both live in TN, however, he lives in the town my father grew up in about two or three hours away. Dick was on a road trip through TN on his way to the Oklahoma/Texas border. He said he'd like to grab a cup of coffee and maybe some breakfast, so I gave him a nice offramp to get off of and we'd grab a bite to eat. He is easilly one of the nicest guys I've come across in my life. Not only celebrity wise, but in general. From the get-go, he was he was very kind and down to earth. Sitting in the booth with his leg propped up. When his breakfast arrived, he then excused hiself to say a prayer before digging in. I made sure we didn't talk much about Halloween, because I know that's the last thing he wanted to talk about, lol. So, instead, we talked about guns, law, his hometown, etc etc. He then told me the story about where his famous "Warlock" name came from. He explained a buddy of his deserves the credit due to Dick being such a big western fan.He also wanted to inform everyone who still doubts that the hero mask from the original film is in fact the same mask from H2. He told me about how he remembered Debra pulling the mask out of the box and telling him it may smell a bit because it was the same from the first flick. He also cuts me off in the middle of one of our talks and says, "So what do you think of "the walk?". As I tell him how iconic it was, he tells me that he thought it was the most horrible acting he had done, lol. He says that when he was casted, he had never seen a Halloween before, and had only watched it once after he got the role. He said he had never been told how to walk or react to things, so he watched the first film and modeled his character after the famous closet scene when Michael slowly lifts up and tuns his head at Laurie. He said that was the scariest moment for him, and that he wanted his chracter to constantly move that way. In my opinion, he did well and regardless of how he feels, lol, he set the bar for actors to follow. We talked about quite a few things, some of which I must keep private in respect to specific masks makers ( lets just say its non-myers related, hehe). But all in all, it was a great conversation.Long story short, I couldn't thank him enough for taking the time to meet up with me. He says he'd like to do it again, so hopefully next time he passes through town he will give me another call. Class act guy, and I couldn't have had a better breakfast. He took a few pics and signed a couple of autographs for me. I'd like to thank Billy for posting the closeup shot of Myers in one of my previous threads. And a funny fact, Dick actually took a look at the famous "coke can" photo and asked "This is me?". He said that he never remembered taking the photo, but the more and more he looked at it, the more sure he was that it was him. (Although he never was 100%). We ended the visit with a nice handshake and hug, and then headed our seperate ways.Anyways, thanks for reading. Hope you enjoy the pics.<img src=\"http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v196/puckface/042209091142.jpg\" border=\"0\" class=\"linked-image\" /><img src=\"http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v196/puckface/042209091227.jpg\" border=\"0\" class=\"linked-image\" /><img src=\"http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v196/puckface/S8002308.jpg\" border=\"0\" class=\"linked-image\" /><img src=\"http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v196/puckface/S8002311.jpg\" border=\"0\" class=\"linked-image\" /><img src=\"http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v196/puckface/S8002316.jpg\" border=\"0\" class=\"linked-image\" />Thanks for looking!
