Biography

Noted archivist and historian of cinematic artifacts, renowned worldwide for meticulous curation of props, costumes, and other screen-used paraphernalia from iconic science fiction, fantasy, and horror motion pictures.

Among the treasures housed within his "basement" museum, a veritable treasure trove of cinematic history, one can find the original Time Machine from the 1960 George Pal classic, a testament to the enduring power of H.G. Wells' visionary tale.

Also on display is the original wolf's head cane from the 1941 Universal horror classic, The Wolfman, a haunting reminder of the genre's rich heritage.

Furthermore, the museum boasts the original King Kong armature, a behemoth of a prop that has captivated audiences for generations, its presence a testament to the enduring appeal of the giant ape's legend.

Lastly, a crowning jewel of the collection is a functioning, full-size head of the Alien Queen from James Cameron's 1986 sci-fi masterpiece, Aliens, a marvel of practical effects that continues to inspire awe in all who lay eyes on it.
