If you ask anyone who knows me, they will tell you that I am hopelessly addicted to director, John Waters. He is the original Pope of Trash and is responsible for cult classics like Serial Mom, Cecil B. Demented, Female Trouble, Hairspray, and Pink Flamingos. If you love shock value and can stomach trash then you should check out his earlier films.
This past fall I met him, again, at a horror convention is Gettysburg, PA and got to hear him do one of his talks.

Myself and a friend with John Waters at a horror convention. |
Since he was speaking at a horror convention he talked about horror movies from past to present and even what he thinks the future of horror might have in store. He talked about his childhood obsession with The Wicked Witch of the West from The Wizard of Oz and his desire to have green skin and about his favorite horror film, The Texas Chainsaw Massacre. What can I say, he is my kinda man.
