Rick Baker, special effects makeup artist and six-time Academy Award winner. You outta know that he’s the guy responsible for creating the creatures and special makeup effects in “An American Werewolf in London”, “Harry and the Hendersons”, “The Nutty Professor”, “Men In Black”, “Thriller” starring Michael Jackson, and the forthcoming Universal remake of “The Wolf Man” starring Benicio Del Toro, just to name a few.  He made my day today by entertaining the idea of putting these huge plastic fangs on his head.  He’s awesome!!

Comic-Con, the nation’s biggest comic-book convention, began Thursday where more than 125,000 people attended over the course of the four-day event.  Many came dressed up as their favorite characters from films, comic books, cartoons, toys… and others barely came dressed at all.

This year, JAAAHWS invaded San Diego and took a bite of the hearts and minds of many from the sold-out crowd on Saturday 26 July 2008.
