    I've never met him. But I've heard some bad stories. Then I also know some people who met him and have nothing but good things to say. One thing you have to realize though is these guys like Savini, Trejo, Hodder, Todd, etc. do a TON of cons each year. And meet a TON of fans at each of those cons. So there's bound to be some horror stories (pun not intended). But it does seem Savini has a worse reputation than many others.

    I just looked up this Savini guy.

    He's from Pissburgh. Automatic d-bag.

    I have met Savini many times over. One year his poolside room at the Hollywood Roosevelt was next door to mine and we hung at the pool a couple nights. He was nice as could be and shared all kind of stories about his films, Vietnam etc.. I've heard the bad stories but never encountered anything personally.

    That said, Savini was the master - thee marquee gore make-up guy, then he just fell out of it and his protege Greg Nicotero picked right up where he left off. There probably isn't two movies made since 2000 that Nicotero/Berger hasn't been the go-to team for this type of make-up. Nicotero now has millions and Oscars and Savini works trade shows.. I'd probably be bitter too..

    When it comes to the tradeshows the nicest, most fun folks are Ken Foree, Kane Hodder and Sid Haig. Foree is a total prankster.
    Bruce Campbell's rep as an arsehole is entirely shtick.

    IMO the biggest douche flat out is Malcolm McDowell. I doubt he will be invited back to many of these. Second to him is Ellen Sandweiss which is lame because Betsy Baker totally rocks (I got to touch her boob, tee-hee)

    Savini had his life savings in a "secure" safe in his house, because if something happened to him, he wanted his daughter to have instant access to his money. Some guys had dressed up as contractors, entered the house and took only that safe.

    Made me feel really bad for the guy. If he is a prick, who cares? I can't imagine dealing with those strange fans at every convention.

    Well, I thought I non-spoilered fairly well. I'll retract my text.
