The great Robert Englund graced our Nostalgia & Comics store in Birmingham this week and Dave from N&C tells me that he was a real delight, utterly charming his fans and staff alike and telling them some great stories while signing copies of Hollywood Monster. I’m quite jealous, would have been wonderful to meet him, he’s one of the few real icons of the modern fantastic film genres, not simply because of the number of works he has been involved with but because he treats the genre and the fans with respect, takes it seriously but still brings a sense of knowing fun to it at the same time, and that’s something we love him for. Thanks to Robert for being such a charming guest and to the fans who came along to meet him. (thanks also to Dave and the N&C crew for the pics; click for the larger ones on our Flickr page, where you can find more photos)
(while Robert was usually charming and polite he did have to take firmer action with those who tried to cut in front of the line at the signing)
