Produced and directed by Trish Geiger & Frank Dietz, this feature-length documentary tells the story of how Bob & Kathy became the goodwill ambassadors of sci-fi and horror film fandom. Married for over five decades, this amazing couple have spent their lives nurturing the creative spark in talented people, many of whom went on to become award-winning masters in the fields of makeup and special effects on some of Hollywoods most renowned blockbusters.
The film takes a heartfelt look at each fascinating aspect of Bob & Kathy’s lives: From their work with 1950’s monster creator Paul Blaisdell, to Bob’s career as a gorilla suit performer, their legendary Halloween shows and their stunning collection of rare props from many of the most beloved genre films of all time. But the heart of the film is the two real treasures of their museum – Bob & Kathy themselves – joined here by an incredible array of guest stars who share their thoughts and affection for the couple.
Oscar-winning makeup and FX artists Rick Baker (HARRY AND THE HENDERSONS, MEN IN BLACK), Chris Walas (THE FLY), Tom Woodruff, Jr. and Alec Gillis (ALIEN VS. PREDATOR), Dennis Muren (THE EMPIRE STRIKES BACK, JURASSIC PARK), Greg Nicotero (THE WALKING DEAD) and Steve Wang (PREDATOR), directors John Landis (AN AMERICAN WEREWOLF IN LONDON), William Malone (THE HOUSE ON HAUNTED HILL) and Joe Dante (GREMLINS, THE HOWLING) and author David J. Schow (THE CROW) are just a few of the special guests that relate their memories and appreciation for all that Bob & Kathy have done for the world of movie magic.
The screening will be followed by a panel discussion, hosted by comedian Dana Gould (THE SIMPSONS), with Bob & Kathy, producers Geiger & Dietz and other key luminaries from the Burns past.
