We Sing Day-O,  a Glenn Shadix tribute poem ------------------------------------------- This man was not that well known. But you most certainly know him. You most certainly know him well. As you all probably do. Dear ol Glenn. He was so full of life. A very bright and cheery soul. Underrated but talented. He was an interior designer. And the mayor of Halloween town. But he'll always be remembered. As who he was.. The great Glenn Shadix. On this day-o. We all say day-o! Because. Daylight come and Glenn has gone home. There was a lot to like about him. He was not only a good actor. But a photographer as well. And all around fun-loving guy. It was hard not to like him. After all..he was such a kind-man. With a terrific sense of humor. No wonder Tim Burton liked him. We all sing the Banana Boat song. On this day. To honor him. Because this song was played at his memorial. 5ft, 6'ft..7ft, 8ft - bunch. This is for the man who brought us Otho. And the Mayor of Halloweentown. A...

Monstermaster13's response: Tim Burton article

Hello here, it is me monstermaster13 here. This time I am not doing a list or salute but rather a response to an article I read. The article in question is tittled 10 Examples Of Tim Burton Hating Fat People on the site Film School Rejects. The person who wrote this seems to think that Tim Burton hates overweight people, and as such made this statement: "Tim Burton is not a fan of the horizontally-challenged. That's the conclusion I reached from watching Frankenweenie, an otherwise very pleasant return to form for for the director. What isn't so pleasant is how every paunchy character — the mayor, the gym coach, and the chubby kid whose name doesn't matter — is cackled at by Burton and turned into a visual punch-line. Burton portrays these characters in a way that seems antithetical to how most people perceive him and his films… with a casual dash of mean-spiritedness. The one constant in Burton's films, aside from Johnny Depp obviously, is that he's alwa...

A Tribute To Glenn Shadix

Hello i'm Monstermaster13 and welcome to another one of my tributes. I've paid tribute to two very well known big guys in showbiz who are unfortunately no longer with this - John Belushi and John Candy. And now i'm going to pay a tribute to another big guy, one that Tim Burton fans will definitely recognize by name and voice. Of course i'm talking about Glenn Shadix. For those not in the know, Glenn appeared in many movies and tv shows in the 80's and 90's but he's most known for playing the role of a certain interior designer and 'paranormal expert' in the hit movie Beetlejuice. The character of course is - Otho Fenlock or "Round Boy" as Beetlejuice calls him. And I admit he did brilliantly in this performance and easily my second favorite character in the film next to BJ himself and Lydia of course. Aside from this he also had several appearances in animated tv series and live action shows as well as appearing in several other films. ...
