Michael Myers ~ the faces behind the mask.

What a great way to get ready for the Halloween/autumn/fall season then to write about a classic Boogeyman that has been scaring the hell out of us since the late '70s.

There have been several men who have played this iconic character over the years. So I threw together a list showing all of them.

Halloween (1978)

Nick Castle ~ The Shape ~ The Original Michael Myers  ~

• Nick Castle played Michael Myers whenever he was on screen with the mask on.

Tony Moran ~ Michael Myers (Age 23)

• Tony Moran played Michael Myers when the mask was removed.  He is the face of Michael.

[  Will Sandin ~ Michael Myers (Age 6) ]

(My husband and I with Tony Moran ~ 2013)

Halloween II (1981)

Dick Warlock ~ The Shape

[ Archive Footage:  Tony Moran ~ Michael Myers (Age 23) ]

(My husband and I with Dick Warlock - 2011)

Halloween III: Season of the Witch (1982)

Moving on . . .

Halloween 4: The Return of Michael Myers (1988)

George P. Wilbur ~ Michael Myers

[ Erik Preston ~ Young Michael Myers ]

(My husband and I with George P. Wilbur - 2014)

Chris Durand ~ The Shape

Halloween:  Resurrection (2002)

Brad Loree ~ Michael Myers

AND FINALLY FOR THE ROB ZOMBIE FANS OUT THERE :

Tyler Mane ~ Michael Myers

[ Daeg Faerch ~ Michael Myers (Age 10) ]

Rob Zombie's Halloween (2009)

Tyler Mane ~ Michael Myers

[ Chase Wright Vanek ~ Young Michael Myers ]

Hey, Nick Castle, (if you're reading this) my husband and I are waiting to meet you.  We would like to complete our collection of original Michael Myers' autographs, 1-6!

I'll wrap this up with a photo of my husband and I with the man himself - John Carpenter - 2011!

Say hello to my little friend, Squiggy!

My husband and I made a quick stop in an oddities-type store in Baltimore, Maryland the other day. While we were there I stumbled across something that caught my eye (Let's be honest . . . everything in the shop caught my eye).  The object that caught my eye was a green ball in a water-filled jar. It actually looked like a tiny aquarium. After looking at it closer I realized it was a Marimo Ball Terrarium.  

Marimo Moss Balls are actually algae. The word Marimo originates from Japan and means "ball of seaweed".  The Marimo Balls are known to form in the following areas only; Australia, Estonia, Iceland, Japan and Scotland.

Domestic Marimo Balls can be cared for quite easily. They can be placed in tap water with the water being changed every one or two weeks. They also do well in normal household lighting or indirect sunlight areas. 

You can have them in a container by themselves or you can add them to fish aquariums. They would be a wonderful addition to a Betta fish home.

They have a long life span, lasting decades with proper care and maintenance.

Origin:  In 1823 an Austrian Botanist, named Doctor Anton Sauter, was the first person to discover the Marimo Moss Balls in Lake Zeller, Austria.  Shortly after this they were discovered by Tetsuya Kawakami in Lake Akan, Japan.

Growth:  Marimo Balls grow very slowly, at a rate of 5 millimeters per year.

There are three different ways that the Marimo Moss Balls grow.  First, they grow on the shady side of rocks. Second, they grow free floating, creating a blanket or carpet-like area at the bottom of a lake. Lastly, they grew just like a ball, with densely packed algal filaments in the center. 

Fun Facts:

*     Marimo Balls are considered to be a good luck charm for prosperity and love. 

*     For three days in early October, Japan holds a festival, Marimo Matsuri, honoring and
       conserving these green beauties.

*     Germans call them Russian Moosballen.

Here area a few photographs of my Marimo Moss Ball which I have affectionately named Squiggy.  I added the two small seashells to the jar for some color contrast. 

And here is Squiggy along with two other friends, Lenny the Leach (wet specimen) and the Creature From the Black Lagoon.

BUYER BEWARE - HORROR FANS AND PARANORMAL FANS POSSIBLE SCAMMER JENNY SPAIN

*** UPDATE:  SEPTEMBER 3RD, 2015

Last evening, Trent Haaga, the writer of Deadgirl contacted me on here.  He reached out to apologize and offer to make this situation better.  This is way more than Jenny Spain has done.  I wanted to add an update on here to show my appreciation for his reaching out to me. He is a great writer and I did enjoy the movie, Deadgirl. Please check out Trent's IMDB and see what cool projects he's been involved in. The positive of this situation is that I just found another cool horror person. My husband and I have some new horror movies to check out.

As far as Jenny Spain goes, she still hasn't refunded my money, contacted me or sent the poster.  Please be aware that if she is selling anything on any of her profile pages that she is not a safe seller. ***

I don't know of a webpage that allows a person to review a buying experience from an individual seller. Since I had a bad experience with a seller on Facebook/PayPal, I wanted to share that experience with everyone in hopes that it doesn't happen to anyone else.

As of July 8th, 2015, Jenny Spain has yet to answer me on why she hasn't refunded my $45 or why she never sent the poster out.  She continues to post on her page about how "wonderful her life is" and how she is out doing all sorts of fun stuff, going here and there.  All while the people who sent her money for autographed posters are waiting for an explanation as to why she hasn't refunded, etc. We can all see her clearly posting on her wall about her daily outings with not one clear explanation to the possible autograph scam she pulled on all of us.

I am not the only one this happened to.  I have been in contact with several people who have been a "victim" of this situation. 

Jenny Spain's IMDB profile:  http://www.imdb.com/name/nm2765991/
Facebook profile page:  https://www.facebook.com/JennySpain

The following are actual screen shots from Jenny Spain's Facebook wall, direct messages, and text messages between her and myself. This starts in August 2014 and goes on until January 2015.  She will not contact me about a refund or anything to do with this situation as of now.

Please think twice about purchasing anything from Jenny Spain.  Like I said, I haven't received a refund, the autographed poster or an explanation.

  Hi Jenny,

  
  

  Just checking on the posters. When you mailed them out on September 13th, did you send out the posters via USPS or UPS? Just so I know which delivery service to keep an eye out for. Our mail person isn't very reliable when it comes to packages. smile emoticon

  Very cool! I'll have to check my Paypal account. I may have to fix my mail notification on there. I'm not receiving mail notifications on my business email any longer.

  
  

  I didn't want to bother you but I wanted to make sure that it wasn't due to arrive yet. Our mail woman has been giving people in our neighborhood issues with delivering packages! smile emoticon

  
  

  Thank you so much! Have a great Sunday!

  Hi Jenny,

  
  

  Just checking in after the holidays to see if you had a set date on when you're sending out the Dead Girl posters? I know you had said back in October that you had ordered something to go along with them.

  
  

  Hope you have a great holiday season! And Happy New Year!

  
  

  Thanks, Heather! smile emoticon

  Hi Jenny,

  
  

  I am checking in again! You haven't answered back my last two emails, one on here and one to your gmail (spain.jenny@gmail.com). I know you're very busy and I hate to keep bothering you! Do you have a status on the autographed Dead Girl poster, when is it being sent out?

  
  

  Thanks, Heather

Dear Jenny,

I reached out to you Facebook on January 3rd to see what the status was on the autographed Dead Girl poster and I haven't heard back from you.

On September 13th, 2014 via Facebook you stated the poster was being shipped out on that day.
October came around and I hadn't received the poster yet. So I reached out to you on October 11th, 2014 to see which mail carrier you used to send the poster so that I could track it somehow. You had stated to me that you hadn't sent the posters yet because you had purchased something to go along with them and were waiting for the items.

On October 22nd, 2014 you had tagged me in a Facebook post stating that you had finally gotten your order in and that you were getting everything ready to ship.

I let the holidays pass because I know that everyone is busy during that time of year.
Now it's January 2015; I emailed you on January 3rd to see if you had an actual date of when you were sending the poster out and I have not heard anything back from you.

Today is January 5th, please let me know what is going on with my order. It has been paid for since September 12th, 2014.

I decided to reach out through Paypal because I don't know what else to do.  I am also reaching out through this email account because it has been four months now.
Please let me know what is going on with the poster.  If you do not have the poster, please refund me my $45 to rottngirl@gmail.com.  I feel that I have been patient, nice and understanding about all of this.  And I feel that I am owed an explanation along with the poster I purchased and/or my $45 returned to me.

Thank you for your time! Heather Haberman

  Hi Jenny,

  
  

  I am sorry to hear that you are going through some bad stuff right now. I'm confused as to what that has to do with getting the poster to me. But I'm sure you wouldn't be mentioning it unless it did.

  
  

  I was starting to really worry about this entire situation because I had a few guys contact me through Facebook wondering if I knew anything about the posters or if I had, in fact, ordered and received one. And then I hadn't heard from you.

  
  

  Here is my cell **CELL NUMBER REMOVED** so that you know my number when it comes through your phone. I may give you a text tomorrow. smile emoticon

  Jenny,

  
  

  It seems like you are really busy these days. And I'm not sure what is going with you legally. I have text messaged a few times; and I am not one to play phone tag. Actually I shouldn't be the one contacting you at all because I honored my end of the purchase. You offered a product that you took money for and have not sent it or explained why you haven't sent it.

  
  

  As of right now I am not sure why I (and a few other people who have reached out to me regarding the Posters) are pulled into this situation.

  
  

  I have been nothing but nice to you since September and I feel I deserve an explanation as to what's going on. It's been since September that you have my $45 and I have nothing to show for it. I really feel as if I have been taken for this money and I don't understand why.

  
  

  Please, when you have a minute, just let me know why I am not receiving the Poster and/or why you are not returning the $45 to via PayPal.

  
  

  Thank you! Heather
