Bruce Abbott Texas Frightmare Weekend 2025

I don’t know how many times I have skipped this autograph. Over the years, I have ignored Bruce Abbott. Nothing personal. Just a matter of time and priorities.

Bruce was very friendly, chatted, and asked questions. He had fun with some of the creative items people brought to get signed. Since his table was next to Jeffrey Combs, and both in the Re-Animator movie, if Jeffrey signed in a specific color, Bruce matched the color.  It’s a small detail but classy. I saw that a few times this weekend.

I originally thought a blood red paint pen would have been the best color to sign, but Bruce suggested this neon (Re-Animator) green color and it worked well.

Bruce commented on the photo. He said it wasn’t in the movie. It was actually a behind the scenes photo. At the time, he was exhausted. A long long day and they were filming in the dead of night. No one could remember their lines and you were trying not to fall down as you were doing the scene just one more time.

A nice detail from him.

Griffin Dunne Texas Frightmare Weekend 2025

Griffin Dunne signed a lot of Desperately Seeking Susan (because Patricia Arquette also attended this show) and An American Werewolf in London items.

Griffin signed in red, which would have been a great color if it was in the top right instead of the bottom right.

Rosanna Arquette Texas Frightmare Weekend 2025

I first saw Rosanna Arquette in the movie The Big Blue. It’s a slow movie about free divers, they are divers don’t use air tanks. Of course, I wanted a photo from that but I couldn’t find anything. In fact, I could find anything I liked from my searches.

Rosanna had a nice section of table photos. She signed the one I liked best.  She was quiet and sweet. She listened to people. She had a circle lamp set up for table photos. She made sure people liked the results before letting them walk away.

Before I left, I did mention how much I enjoyed The Big Blue. She thanked me and apologized for not having anything from that movie. I told her I watched it dozens of times when it was on HBO. She again thanked me and I left.

Predator Texas Frightmare Weekend 2025

I attended Frightmare Friday, Saturday, and Sunday.  Yes, I had also traveled to OKC on Saturday.  That is 2 conventions on 1 day. I said it before; my ‘graphing is an addiction. My name is AH and I collect autographs...

I have always enjoyed the Predator movie. Frightmare didn’t have just 1 actor but 2 alumni from the film.

The first was Richard Chaves. As we chatted, I mentioned a TV series: War of the Worlds. I enjoyed it. we set up the VCR to record it each week. He mentioned he was proud of that work and the character.

The next alumni was Bill Duke.  His character has a fairly iconic scene dry shaving with a razor and cutting himself. I searched for a good photo of that to get signed. No success. There was a table photo of Bill with the razor but it was a head shot and he would have been signing on his own face.

When I handed over my photo, the handler asked where I got that. I told him. He told me how much he liked it. When I moved to the lady next to Bill and she commented how much she liked that photo. Then Bill commented on how much he liked the photo.  Bill looked over to the handler. The handler looked back and agreed, it was a good photo and he would be tracking it down.

That is really nice feedback to get about the photos I printed.

Alyssa Sutherland Texas Frightmare Weekend 2025

I must admit, I did not know that Alyssa Sutherland was Australian. I just expected to hear Princess Aslaug when she said hello. Silly?  Yes, it was.

She is soft spoken. Chatted with everyone and took her time. She asked if I wanted a quote on the photo. I must admit, I think it’s better than anything I could have come up with. It fits the photo and the occasion.

Soleil Moon Frye GalaxyCon OKC 2025

I never watched Punk Brewster. I’m assuming I was too old.

As I was walking past her booth, Soleil Moon Frye was walking up. She had a mom/daughter combo of fans at her table that were jumping up and down in excitement that they saw her.

When I walked back 5 minutes later, the 3 of them were still chatting and taking dozens of selfies. It was an interaction. It was not about the autograph.

Soleil started signing their photo. She used 10 different colors to write an inscription. While that might seem too busy, it did look pretty. She knew what she was doing

The handler turned to me and asked if I wanted ‘the works’.  I laughed and said no. It wouldn’t work for the photo I had.

After 5 more minutes and a bunch of hugs, it was my turn. I towered over Soleil. We chatted a bit and then she signed. I shared what I saw when the mom/daughter spotted her in the crowd. They seemed very genuinely excited to be meeting Punky.

Brian Austin Green GalaxyCon 2025

There is a reason that most of the fans for Brian AustinGreen were women. And a reason that most of the photo’s had blondes in them: Beverly Hills 90210. Never watched it.  I was there for a photo of Derek Reese. Soldier from the future to save humanity from a robot. Yes, I am a fan of Terminator: Sarah Conner Chronicles.

I think he had 2 photos from the show amid the sea of Beverly Hills photos. I probably was the only guy that got his signature too. That’s okay.

Lou Ferrigno GalaxyCon OKC 2025

Many years ago, I got Lou Ferrigno to sign a book. I finally got around to having him sign a photo.

It was a quick process. Not much interaction. He is hard of hearing and communication is tough with the backdrop of noise from a convention. I wasn’t planning on having a conversation. I was just happy to add a photo to my collection.

Elizabeth Berkley GalaxyCon 2025

The other huge reason I got up so early and drove to OKC, was Elizabeth Berkley. Never watched Saved by the Bell but I did see Showgirls. Not the best movie in the world but it did make an impression.

I was happy she was willing to sign photo from that movie. It seemed everyone in line was getting photos/posters from that movie signed. And yes, everyone in line was guys. The Saved by the Bell fans went to Mario Lopez’s table and they were mostly girls.

She was friendly and chatted with the fans and posed for selfies. She charmed her fans with her big smile.

Robin Thomas GalaxyCon OKC 2025

Who hasn’t watched Summer School a million times? Such a fun silly movie. Of course, I had to get Robin Thomas to sign a photo from the film.

It was a quick easy encounter. He was all smiles. I told him how The Wife and I saw the movie as a date movie. We still stop down when we see it playing. It’s a classic.
