Savini is pretty cool when he is not being hounded. As soon as he thinks that he is being hounded by a fan, he turns rude and cold. Just an observation after having interacted with Tom on several different occasions in several different contexts. He's human like us.

Yeah i agree. They should sign for free. But thats hollywood for ya.

@DrunkenZombiePodcast OK. Thank you. I am also going to give him a role for a movie I plan to make.

[DrunkenZombiePodcast]

@freddy3911 Just tell him what of his work you like. As long as you're cool he should be fine. Anyone can get grumpy at a convention so just try not to be overly annoying and it should be fine.

[freddy3911]

@rolandsteph I am going to meet him soon and what should I compliment on him without hounding him. I don't want to piss off the master.

@residentvania I think the reason why they charge for signings is because the film businesses want to make the maximum profit out of the actors and it's usually their agents who tell the actors how much fans will pay for their autographs, where it's not the actors themselves who decide how much they charge for autographs. That is what my dad told me.

@joserpm Man I never noticed that. If Tom Savini had an inverted cross on his head that'd be him

Wicked I Love his work in Maniac 1981

[joserpm]

Is it just me, or does he really look like Glen Benton (Deicide vocalist)? If you aren't sure, watch a Glen Benton and this one back-to-back.

Tom is a great guy, a bit sarcastic and pretty fidgity at times. At times you cant fault him for being a bit short after 3 day long fanatical conventions full of a fair amount of fanatical, nut-job, pseudo stalker types. Tom has a bit of ADHD and it certinly shows. Ive known Tom for a long time and he's either on 10 or totaly out of it. A very passionate guy who certainly does love his fans, but as a friend I know he can be a bit short at times with anyone.

im sure there are days he can be an ass like the rest of us but...gotta give him props. the guy tries to help out his hometown area (pittsburgh area) instead of just being 'Mr. hollywood' ya know. besides his new haunted house was great i heard, it's called 'donora' lmao ok, bad joke. but i heard the century 3 mall terrormania was good.
