JACK KETCHUM: MAKING WOMEN HAPPY
See, Jack knows how to make women happy. Look at that shirt he's wearing. If you or I tried to wear a shirt like that to a party, our wives, girlfriends, or just the women in general would look down their noses at us and sneer. Not Jack though! He's got that certain something that all straight men and even lesbian women would KILL for. Because Jack can say things that would get you or I murdered! We'd be sacrificed! We'd be brought up on charges, and found guilty and made to suffer for the things we said! We'd have to move away from our homes, family and (recently made) ex-friends and try and start a new life in Abu Dabi or someplace.
But when Jack says whatever freaking rude sexist and inapropriate thing that crosses his bean at any given moment, women just find it all so freaking cute and adorable. Don'cha just HATE him?

ACCOSTING THE MASTER
Brian Freeman pushes his luck by taking up the valuable time of artist and writer, Alan M. Clark. Those who saw the WHC 2000 photos are familiar on how Alan deals with fanboys. I don't know who Miss X is, but she has her arm around Alan which is always a friendly gesture.

LET'S EAT!
Eating is a very important part of life although with this crew, WHAT you eat is not only important, its downright intimidating.
Left to Right:
A Wide-eyed stranger, Mark McLaughlin, James Futch, Brian Keene, Mikey Huyck, Geoff Cooper, and Sephera Giron.

RAIN GRAVES
As beautiful as can be. As nice a person as can be. As good a friend as can be.
HOLY SHIT but she writes some wicked freaking stories!

RAIN & DAVE
With Dave (Necro Publications) looking like he's been blessed by the Madonna.
It must be nice to always see the world at breast level.

STRIKE A POSE
Brian Keene prepares for the Stoker Awards Banquet while James Futch admires the view.

SOME FOLKS DRESS UP NICE FOR THE STOKERS
Like James A. Moore and his lovely partner.

AND SOME FOLKS DON'T

SOME FOLKS DO AND SOME FOLKS DON'T

RESISTANCE IS FUTILE!
At the 1999 WHC in Atlanta, Paula Guran (HORROR GARAGE Magazine) snuggled up to me. Narsty Rumors soon spread like wildfire thanks to that bastard, Coop!
At the 2000 WHC in Denver, where Richard Laymon dubbed us the "Vanguard of New Horror", Paula snuggled up to Brian Keene. Narsty Rumors soon spread like wildfire thanks to that shit-bag, Coop!
This year Paula snuggles up to James Futch and Mark McLaughlin. There have been some Narsty Whispers spreading and I think they came from that rat, Coop!
Next year it will be my mission to capture for the camera Geoff Cooper deep french-kissing Paula Guran.
THAT'LL settle his hash!

QUICK AS A WINK
The tip jars all disappeared the second the bartender turned his back.

BEAUTY TAKES PREPARATION
Asked to pose with two lovely women, I first prepare myself.
Michael Slade, meanwhile, wonders where HIS groupies are?

YEE HAW!
And I smile smugly like the Bastard Bandit King that I am!
With Judi Rohrig to the right of me and Eunice Magill to the left.
Slade sits off to the side wondering if its his deoderant or his mouthwash . . . ?

A SURPRISE IN EVERY BAG
Chad Hensley: I think your rat died. Can I have it?
Geoff Cooper: Hmmm . . .?

NO PITY
Everyone has a good laugh while Alan Beatts insists that he is getting too fat.

SCARY INBRED REDNECKS
Internet buddies David Whitman and Weston Ochse (co-authors of SCARY REDNECKS and Other Inbred Horrors) meet at last. Weston tries to give us his "bad ass" stare, which fails miserably.

GINA & JOHN
Gina, a newcomer to the Horror Conventions, soon became infamous for taking loads of "Ass shots" which you can see at her site we have dubbed, appropriately enough, Gina's Ass Shots. Thus legends are born. John Urbancik is just there to make a fan happy.
