Ray Santiago Texas Frightmare Weekend 2025

I was bad. I was a nasty fan. I teased Ray Santiago about his muscles. When I watched, Ash vs The Evil Dead, I never noticed the big biceps. To me, he always appeared skinny. At Frightmare, as he was standing and posing with people, while he wasn’t flexing, those biceps popped out from under the sleeves of his shirt. They were hard to ignore. Yes, I mentioned them because I am jealous. He just smiled and took my comments in stride.

I humbly apologize. Sorry Ray, that was uncalled for. You don’t need an old fat guy commenting on how you take care of your shape while I fill my pie hole with Tasty-Kakes and French Fries.

He was very friendly. I had planned on getting him years ago at a convention where he, Bruce Campbell, and Dana DeLorenzo attended but he had to cancel.  It was nice to finally add him to the collection.

Dana DeLorenzo and Ray Santiago Wizard World Austin 2016

I enjoy Ash VS the Evil Dead. For me it’s 3 Stooges in a modern horror movie. Its over the top and silly and not demanding a lot of cerebral attention. When Austin Wizard World has both Ray Santiago and DanaDeLorenzo, I needed to add to them to the collection.

Ray was quiet. He smiled and signed. We barely exchanged words. I’m assuming he is very shy.

Dana was very extraverted. As she chatted with the person in front of her, she paused to make sure others in line were listening and following along. She talked about getting blasted with gallons of fake blood that seemed to all go up her nose. She admitted it took a week to get all out.  She loved working with Lee Majors as he fit right in on the set.
