So, wait, that last snapshot - YOUR certificate is in this book?????
ReplyDeleteWhat a great book, by the way!! Does it have a show-by-show synopsis or anything like that?
I looked up the author on Amazon and found a DVD of a documentary he directed called Remembering Playland At the Beach. Busy guy!
Heh.
ReplyDeleteI guess I missed a real opportunity by not filling in that blank line with "Steven G. Parmelee". :-)
The book itself is only 90 pages. It doesn't have a lot of specific show info. There are some "lost" interviews with assorted celebrities and lots of pictures and news clippings. For fans of the man, I'd say it was worth $20.
You're quite the rascal, you are.
ReplyDeleteSeems there is a DVD about Creature Features, too; a documentary:

I don't suppose that was on sale there, too?
I didn't see the DVD in the giftshop, but it appears to be available on Playland NATB's website.
