Thread: Who is Bob Burns?

Tweet

I just read about him on Ain't It Cool News: The best in movie, TV, DVD, and comic book news.

he sounds like one interesting fellow

here is his Halloween site!

BOB BURNS' HOLLYWOOD HALLOWEEN.COM

This guy creates the ultimate yard haunts by re-producing sets from famous movies such as "The Time Machine".


On his site he will have a ducumentary of how it all began and the famous directors that have helped him along the way. It will be in a 10 to 15 minute snippet format. So you gotta go back once and a while to see if he has uploaded a new one.

He's like...the god of Yard Haunters.

just look at the movie memorabilia he has collected here:

Quint wants to introduce you to Bob Burns and his Hollywood Halloween shows! -- Ain't It Cool News: The best in movie, TV, DVD, and comic book news.

I'm so jealous...

His haunt videos are great! Watch em and let me know what you think!

Oddly, I saw him in a recent episode of "Diners, Dives, and Drive-ins". lol

He also owns the worlds largest collection of movie props, mainly Alien(s). I believe he has every alien head from each movie of the series.

He also has a few gremlins such as Gizmo.

I think the most amazing thing he has is the King Kong skeletal frame used in the original (1933) flick.

Here is his blog/documentary of his Halloween yard haunts:

He has some 30 minute videos depicting each year of his haunts. Really, really interesting to watch. Quite inspiring!

You can also see Bob in the Doc. Halloween... The Happy Haunting Of America. My girlfriend happened to see it in a redbox a few years ago and rented it. It's a lot of fun. I bought a copy for myself not long ago for around 10 bucks.

Bob also played Tracy the Gorilla in the show The Ghost Busters in the 70's. As a kid I rented a vhs of the show a number of times.

I always enjoy seeing him on futurities of classic horror and sci-fi films as he seems like a genuine and very likeable guy.

This is a different Bob Burns.
