Doug Bradley at Days of the Dead Louisville 2016

Doug Bradley might be the only person who wouldn't get angry at being called "Pinhead."  It's because the English actor is probably best known for his role as the Lead Cenobite "Pinhead" in the Hellraiser film series.

I had crossed paths with Bradley at many previous conventions, but at Days of the Dead Louisville, I finally had a chance to meet him.  He is quite the unique gentleman.

First, he took pictures with fans without charging them.  This might seem natural, but almost all celebrity guests charge for pictures or only give them free if you buy something else.

Bradley appears at these cons to meet his fans and (obviously) to sell merchandise.  We got our picture, but Liza also picked up his book, Behind the Mask of the Horror Actor.  I can't really imagine just grabbibg the free selfie and not paying something.

Despite being a frequent convention guest, Bradley always has a line of fans waiting to meet him.  When you play an iconic character that can be expected.  When you are a class act and fan-friendly, it only adds to the experience.

Thank you Mr. Bradley and thanks to Days for bringing in quality guests.

Mick Foley (and Liza) at Days of the Dead Louisville 2016

Liza might state that she is the bigger star in this picture with Mick Foley and her tiara certainly lends credibility to that claim.  Actually, her Hardcore title belt adds to her legend.  Mick has his own belt and Mr. Socko though.  It's a tough call.

Liza was such a trooper on this trip.  Despite not being a huge wrestling fan or even a huge fan of conventions and despite her recent back surgery, she hung tough throughout the Days of the Dead weekend.

It was a real highlight seeing her wear Road Warrior Animal's shoulder pads (as I wrote a while back).  Just as entertaining was her holding Mick's title belt and posing with the Hardcore Legend himself.  Plus their interaction was priceless.  Liza really made this convention a hit for me.  I will never stop smiling at the pictures with her at the convention.

Road Warrior Animal At Days of the Dead Louisville 2016

Days of the Dead Week continues with a unique picture with Road Warrior Animal.  I have met Animal several times, but this time it was special.  The picture below makes me crack up every time I see it.

This time at Days of the Dead, I met the legendary wrestler with Liza, who is not realy a wrestling fan.  She's more neutral and she certainly had not heard of the Road Warriors.

I knew that Animal offered his trademark shoulder pads for pictures, but I had no idea if Liza would go for it.  Not only was she up for it, she actually asked him about the pads.  I think the pads look great with her tiara.  Animal commented about the tiara, saying he believes this is the first time someone with a tiara wore the pads.  Of course, it had to be Liza.

I always like having friends with me for these moments.  Few will ever stand out the way that this one does though.

I do really appreciate Liza for humoring me.  She was a real trooper on the trip and I think she also enjoyed herself more than she thought she would.  Of course, the shoulder pads helped!

Liza will be with me again this weekend at Days of the Dead in Schaumburg.  We're meeting Ric Flair, among others.  This could get even more interesting!
