Just in time with Halloween, your well-documented article brought back some memories...picture this: a pre-teen me and my younger brother stopped at a light in parents' car...who should be right next to us, but Zacherley, ready for his appearance at the Commack arena. We waved, he waved and we just about passed out with excitement...loved that ghoul and his shows. Another mention was Richard Matheson, who went on to write almost ALL of my favorite "Twilight Zone" episodes. Needless to say, my favorite line in the article is the first line---priceless Wayne Robins at his best!
This was before you discovered David Bowie, of course. And yes, Matheson: top Twilight Zone writer and dozens more movies and TV shows, I wish I could have given him more attention. A great pop culture observation, Ms. Lauri!
