You’re very welcome. Right, signings must get tiring after a while. Meeting fans is pretty great, I wish I was able to do more than a quick hello and photo on the street. Once I do something more - fantasy related I will definitely look into attending some, right now there aren’t many events like that looking to book a TV doctor. The original yeah; he’s in a phase right now where he’s super into Stephen King and films made before CGI became a big thing. I’ve been trying to get my boys to watch Muppets Treasure Island and The Wild Thornberrys, but I guess when you’re 14 and 9 everything that involves less than 4 fight scenes or things not blowing up is uncool. Unless it’s a horror movie.

Well, I don’t sign in person anymore. I take items fans bring to my booth home with me, and I sign at my leisure and mail them back to everyone. Really? That’s odd. They’ll book anybody they can make money off of. Ha! That’s something. Of course, anything otherwise is uncool! I’m much older, and I feel the same. Hm, you’d think they’d enjoy a variety. Just put them on one day and see if anybody stops and watches.

Wow, so like, The Joker…but in drag? I think I would like to see that. Honestly, a drag twist on any character is fun. That one definitely sounds unique, though. They love it, I think! Especially the ones who are super dedicated.

I mean, yeah. He had Frank’s costume on, but it was all Joker colors. His makeup, too. Hair was green. It was fantastic. For some reason, it just worked. I’ve seen very creative ideas that just don’t mesh well, but that one did. Do you get a lot of familiar faces?

If I were complimented by someone as legendary as you, I’d be in shock too! I’ve seen a handful of Rocky Horror costumes scrolling through social media, the work some people must have put into them - wow. Conventions look like a lot of fun! My oldest son has already said he wants to be IT for Halloween this year, now he’s going to ask to get a Tumblr account so he can follow you. It’s a pleasure to meet you, sort of, I’m Kim.

You’re very kind, thank you. Rocky has always had a very creative following. I still don’t tire much of it, as much as I tire of it. The fans always go all out, I appreciate their dedication. They actually are fun. I’ve never cared much for that sort of thing - signings, meet-n-greets, but I do love to meet fans and engage with them. The lot of them are lovely, much like yourself. I recommend looking into them. Oh? Which Pennywise - the original, I take it? Now why in the world would he want to do that? It’s sort of a pleasure to meet you, my dear!

God yeah, seeing cosplayers is definitely a blast. I’ve seen some sick Evil Queens–which is my character on Once Upon a Time. And definitely some wicked Wicked Witches. They go all out; green skin and everything. Some of them are beyond fabulous, but I’ve seen some pretty bad ones, so I get what you’re saying. But hey, flattery is flattery, I suppose. Just not as cool. Anyway, I’m Lana.

The vast majority of them are brilliant. Even when I don’t recognize the characters. A guy came to a con as a cross-over of Frank N Furter and The Joker. It was unbelievably well done. That was one of my favorites. Wicked Witch? That is something. The green skin sounds like great dedication, especially for fun. It’s always flattering to me. I imagine it takes an enormous amount of confidence to come as a beloved character. You’re always your worst critic, after all. Hello, lovely Lana. I’m Tim.

I’ve been attending fan conventions quite a bit over the past year or two. I have to say, beyond everything, my favorite moments - beyond someone telling me I’m their worst nightmare - are when people come dressed as a Rocky Horror character or Pennywise - or just any character in general in relation to my career - and I compliment them, and they’re shocked I’m able to recongize the costume. I don’t know if they assume I’m that fucking old or that they did that awful with their costume.
