Bela Lugosi's Dead

Feb 02, 2009 10:36


I was at Bela Lugosi's funeral. His casket was in the ground, but it was open and you could see his ashes. His arms and his head were discernible and this guy in the hole kept holding up his head and his arms. It was creepy, but nobody seemed to think so. I was sitting near the hole with two women and Johnny B! Through these double doors came Dwight Frye! and asked if there was a parade. Even though it appeared we were in a circus tent, we were still at a funeral and a parade just wouldn't make sense. The younger of the two ladies jumped up and yelled, "A parade? A PARADE?! What gave you that idea?" Not sure what gave him that idea... Then the girl took out her trumpet and started playing this really upbeat number. Suddenly there were bleechers full of cheering people. There was Johnny with a long, skinny pole with this tiny sign that said OK! and beneath it a hand with the index finger sticking up. Like a "return to sender" hand, only verticle. haha Then I was at home watching that same event on television! My dad walked through the front door and immediately I pointed out the "ok" sign which had then turned into OK BYE! I laughed hysterically. I think it was because it was such a small sign on a ridiculously long stick. Anyway, dad told me not to take 30 to school, instead take North Harker. There's no North Harker. Obviously I found my way around to watching Dracula DaLI last night ;)  (And Dracula a few days prior)
