I did wondered whom the fantastic actor portraying the Chop-Top with such relish in TEXAS CHAINSAW 2 was -- for a long time I even believed that the role of Otis B Driftwood in HOUSE of a 1000 CORPSES and DEVILS REJECTS was actually played by Rob Zombie, and I was always warmed into the NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD by Johnny's antics in among the cemetery grave stones while he mocked his sister Barbara with those famous words "They're coming to get you Barbara"
Imagine the surprise when I discovered all these iconic roles were filled by the same person!
Somehow Bill Moseley completely losses himself in his crazy kooky roles and in each of these performance he had me fooled that these were three separate people I was watching!
The drawing above has been signed by the wonderfully affable Bill with the words
" They're coming to get you GURCH! They're horny; they've been dead a loooong time! R. Moseley. Johnny. "
As an added bonus the bottom caption box is signed by the director of this enjoyable remake of NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD Tom Savini , he's added the equally funny
"I did this one...'IN COLOR' Tom Savini"
Bill loved the drawing and noted that I had even captured the chip in his front teeth perfectly, he explained the damage to his tooth was caused by his brother striking him in the face with a bat when they were little.
I had wondered if the fall might have clipped his tooth some more during the opening sequence of NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD 1990 , when the ghoul staggers up, grapples with Johnny and then looses his footing and thus making poor Johnny crack into the corner of a stone monument, that moment might have been responsible for some serious tooth chipping , but then again I do clearly recall that opening sequence being marred by that fall , it being an all too obvious foam rubber dummy and as convincing as Bills acting skills may be I'm sure he wasn't playing that part of a shoddy falling prop.
To do as it says above...and that is to try to bring forth a intermittent flow of nothing more than drawings, sketches and pictures depicting marvellous monsters, dollops of madness and a vegetable or two of DOOM!

"THEY"RE COMING TO GET YOU"
SHOCKIN' --- FRIGHTENING!
CLAUSTROPHOBIC --- HOPELESS!
TRAPPED & OUTNUMBERED, THEIR SITUATION IS DIRE!
Besieged with only a gun while outside, frightful ghouls lurk!
Things that are all messed up are coming to get them!
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Nope, that ain’t the synopsis for the one-night stand that pops up in both Night of the Living Dead movies.. but it could be. Because shocked, frightened, claustrophobic, and hopeless is exactly how they must both be feeling.

BEN (yeah, him with the gun), played by Duane Jones in Romero’s 1968 classic, and HARRY COOPER (the guy glued to the telly), resurrected by Tom Towles in Tom Savini’s 1990 remake, they’re both here, trapped again. Not in a creaky old farmhouse this time, but inside this very blog… sealed within the digital walls of the object you’re reading right now.
And outside?
