Little over a year ago I got an email from a lady whose husband had just died (I think he was a professor, of all things, at MIT). He was a huge fan of LITTLE SHOPPE OF HORRORS, and had a fairly large collection of books and DVDs on vampires/horror/movies. Nothing earth shaking or rare, but as he neared the end he asked his wife to give them to me. As he had no one else who shared his love and passion for horror/fantasy films.

I took them with gratitude. But I hope no one else out there is planning to kick the bucket soon (do we ever plan?). It was an emotional experience to realize no one else Vincent knew cared at all about this stuff. And that my little mag had had an effect to want to send them to me.

Darn...
