Readers will remember Judith as "Barbra," the young blonde woman who escaped the ghoul in the cemetery, only to meet her death in a besieged farmhouse. Kyra played "Karen Cooper," the kid-turned-zombie who wreaked bloody havoc in the cellar. Judith and Kyra have now teamed up to become the formidable "Dames of the Dead."Dames of the Deadhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01526684806893417854noreply@blogger.comBlogger41100tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7699966421244317423.post-74119031227458367972009-04-20T17:59:00.001-07:002009-04-21T05:32:53.896-07:00Chiller was great! Here are some of the highlights of my weekend:<br /><ul><li>Got to hang out with Dame Judith and that alone is worth a trip anywhere.</li><br /><li>I was set up next to Joe Pilato and suffered irreversible hearing loss.</li><br /><li>Got some great hugs from Eugene Clark.</li><br /><li>Shook Mickey Dolenz's hand! (Hey, hey, I'm a geek!)</li><br /><li>Saw Tony Curtis and Tippi Hedren in the flesh!</li><br /><li>Finally met John Amplas. Nice guy.</li><br /><li>Was interviewed by Roy Frumkes for a revision of Document of the Dead.</li><br /><li>Had dinner with Dave Baumuller, Ted Bohus, John and Peg Skerchock and company. They are endlessly entertaining and I adore them all. I wish we didn't live so far apart.</li><br /><li>Creighton gave me a new Ghoul A Go-Go DVD and stickers!</li><br /><li>Patted a chubby bulldog. I love seeing dogs in unexpected places.</li><br /><li>Was awakened at 3am Sunday by someone pounding on all the doors on my floor, looking for Wendy. If I were Wendy, I'd hide, too.</li></ul><br />It was nice meeting new fans and reconnecting with old friends. As much fun as I had, my heart sings loudest and longest when I see my pups and kitty again. It's always good to get back home.<br /><br />I see that we now have some minions on our blog. Minions are nice.<br /><span style="font-style: italic;">Please note: Good minions mow the lawn and do windows.</span><br /><br />Love to all,<br />K-Dame<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7699966421244317423-7411903122745836797?l=damesofthedead.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Dames of the Deadhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01526684806893417854noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7699966421244317423.post-59894591991492603572009-04-05T08:56:00.000-07:002009-04-21T05:31:52.210-07:00Wow, our own DAMES OF THE DEAD blog. I'm thrilled. Must admit though, I'm not the most experienced at blogging, but will try to get the hang of it.<br /><br />Kyra and I will be heading to New Jersey in just a few weeks to attend the yearly CHILLER Horror Convention. In checking out the guest list, I see that Rene Aubergenois (sp) of KING KONG and BOSTON LEGAL fame, among many others, will be there. He and I go WAAAAAY back to Pittsburgh, PA. We did BABES IN ARMS together at the Pgh. Playhouse when I was just 15. What a kick we had singing "I Wish I Were in Love Again" climbing up and down a 15-foot ladder. Ah, such good memories. I'm so looking forward to saying hello to him after all these years.<br /><br />Well, Guys and Gals, that's a first blog attempt from DAME Judith. I really look forward to hearing from you!<br /><br />:)<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7699966421244317423-5989459199149260357?l=damesofthedead.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Dames of the Deadhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01526684806893417854noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7699966421244317423.post-12530924496213013602009-04-05T06:09:00.001-07:002009-04-05T06:34:48.609-07:00Don't forget, y'all -- in less than two weeks Judy and I will be ensconced behind our tables at the <a href="http://www.chillertheatre.com" target="_blank">Chiller Theatre Toy, Model and Film Expo</a> in Parsippany, NJ for what appears to be the final date of the "Night of the Living Dead 40th Anniversary Tour."

The Dames of the Dead (Judy O'Dea and Kyra Schon) finally have a space to post Dames-related thoughts and pictures, mad ramblings, nasty rumors and spoilers to movies and books (not really). I can't wait to tell the Joodstress what a wondrous thing I've created with the aid of modern technowizardry.<br /><br />Stay tuned for mayhem and merriment.<br /><br />xo,<br />K-Dame<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7699966421244317423-7185042266205368580?l=damesofthedead.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Dames of the Deadhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01526684806893417854noreply@blogger.com0
