139: The Son of the Godfather of Halloween – DON POST JR.
Don Post. Does that name bring back memories for some of you? Let’s go Skywalking through October with the man that put Halloween on the map – Don Post Jr! Don’s father, nick-named the Godfather of Halloween, started up Don Post Studios and together he and his son built up the company. They eventually acquired the license to make full head Star Wars masks and helmets back in 1977 and the rest is Halloween history. We could not BE more excited to share this interview with you, and Don Post, Jr. himself was just as excited. The memories he has to share bring tears to your eyes.
Inspiration: The Music of Star Wars Rebels is quickly becoming our most popular segment. This week we look at Kevin Kiner’s “Combining the Holocrons” track from Star Wars Rebels S3 E2: “The Holocrons of Fate”. Maul’s theme, a Holocron theme (?!) and the Devil’s tone!!
Rogue One: A Star Wars Story is just around the corner which means it’s almost time to get in line. But where? And When? Luckily Ric Peralta from LiningUp.net is here to give us some information!
