Finally - recognition of Ghostkeeper after around 25 years or so, the Keeper finally gets what he always wanted. And in Toronto, too. (Toronto always never liked me). So what do we get? Well, recognition of a true horror film acknowledged by real horror people who know horror more than I do.
Okay, I'll be nice to Toronto even though they always dumped on me. But they still will dump a little on me, after all the 16mm print is awful, faded and scratched. But the crowd knows this, after all, this is a horror cult favorite-to-be.
Yeah, me. I brought some Toronto-ites who live here and will protect me from the forces. But it turns out to be funny as the audience really takes to it, commenting whenever they want to. I enjoyed it, the movie is somewhat dated like around 25 years and again, very scratchy..
So there it is... you're looking at a horror cult film in only 35 years. Bill cleaned up the 35mm prints as good as he can, they have scratches at the beginning. And he gave me one of the 35mm prints, I finally got a real 35mm copy of Ghostkeeper, my baby.
Finally Ghostkeeper was pretty clean and looking excellent as it could be, having been stashed in some film house in NYC. When I looked at the print it was scratchy all right but it still looks great.
Here's Murray Ord on left, Riva Spier, the studio guy and me on the right. There's also a photo of me and Georgie Collins who played the "Ghostkeeper".
Not seen above was Sheri McFadden. Unfortunately I couldn't find a better shot but will find another hopefully.
And finally Georgie Collins, the master of drama, she makes this movie better.
Georgie last year above with me. Georgie below 1980, threatening as hell. She was the best.
That's all, Doc. I said I would get a horror cult film in just 35 years and I did. I think. You tell me.
Well, not quite yet. One more thing...
