This is part 3 of my San Diego Comic Con experience.

Part 1 / Part 2

Well, actually this one was experienced by my wife April.

You see, while I was in line to meet the cast of "Ghost Adventures", my darling wife became really excited after looking through the event's program book and said that she had to go and see something and that if she didn't go right now, she would miss it.

Being a typical husband I asked, "What is it?"

Being a typical wife she responded, "It's a surprise."

If your married then you understand this type of communication (or lack off) all too well.

Anyway, to make a long story short, my wife had discovered that a signing by the cast of the BBC series, "Being Human", was going on at that very moment just one floor below us.

Such was the case with literally everything that happens at Comic Con, there is at least a dozen cool things happening at the same time, and unless you are some kind of savant and can read through a hundred page program book, and retain the info, you are likely to miss something.

More on that in tomorrow's Comic Con recap.

Just before my son and I reached the front of the line for "Ghost Adventures", my wife appeared just outside the que, smiling that wonderful smile of hers with a signed card from the cast of "Being Human" in hand.

Granted, I was a little sad that I hadn't gotten to meet them, but at least she got to, and I was about to meet the "Ghost Adventures" cast and she wasn't going to be able to. Fair is fair.

April commented that the entire cast was just "unbelievably beautiful" and were "really friendly and easy to talk to".

Here are April's photos:

Entertainment Earth Comic-Con San Diego 2010 Exclusive! Faithful followers of the iconic The Twilight Zone TV series have reason to rejoice. Bif Bang Pow! brings an astonishing assortment of fully articulated, 8-inch scale action figures to your table. Each extraordinarily lifelike character features authentic fabric clothing and a retro design that's sure to please fans of the most popular action figures of the 1970s. These black-and-white figures come individually carded in blister packaging.

This Series 3 set includes 2 individually packaged action figures (subject to change):

1x Talky Tina
1x Willie the Dummy

Long before Chucky, there was Talky Tina, star of one of the most spine-chilling episodes of The Twilight Zone ever aired. In the show titled "Living Doll" that also starred Telly Savalas, Tina kept coming back and coming back, no matter what he did to try to destroy her. If you remember that frightening episode, you may think twice before ordering this item. But don't worry. After all, she's only an innocent action figure… or is she? Tina features fabric clothing, multiple points of articulation, and a retro design right out of the 1970s!

Based on the ultra-eerie 1962 The Twilight Zone episode titled "The Dummy" that starred Cliff Robertson, this almost-too-real rendering of Willie may make your skin crawl. But no need to feel threatened. He comes in actual fabric clothing and is designed after very popular action figures of the 1970s. Won't you give Willie a try?

GHOST ADVENTURES - Zak Bagans, Nick Grof And Aaron Goodwin At Comic Con 2010

Written By: Ken Hulsey

This is part 2 of my San Diego Comic Con experience.

Like I mentioned in my previous article, my experience at Comic Con was a little 'different' than that of the 'typical' fan. Instead of lusting after the 'trendy' movies and shows, my family and I were excited about a lot of things that weren't so mainstream.

One of these was the television series, "Ghost Adventures", and my wife April, son Christopher and I were really looking forward to meeting the shows stars Zak Bagans, Nick Grof and Aaron Goodwin at an autograph signing later in the afternoon.

As luck would have it, the very same people, Zak, Nick and Aaron,that we so strongly wanted to see, arrived at the convention at the exact same time that we did. Amazingly, they were just milling around in the area adjacent to the check-in and autograph areas. To our delite, we were able to snap a few photos and talk to Aaron for a few seconds. My wife was very happy to have told him that 'he was the shit!'

To our surprise, no one else even recognised them.

Here is the skinny on the show from the Travel Channel website:

Are you ready for the lockdown?

The "Ghost Adventures" crew -- Zak Bagans, Nick Groff and Aaron Goodwin -- is back to investigate the scariest, most notorious, haunted places in the world.

The trio will interview eyewitnesses and historians at each location, arming themselves with the stories of the ghosts they will later provoke and confront during their dusk-to-dawn lockdowns. (Note: They don't always come out unscathed!) Then they'll review and analyze their findings with some the most respected experts and specialists in the paranormal field.

"Ghost Adventures" signing at Comic Con:

I snapped this pic of the guys while in line for the signing. There was a pretty long line for this. Amazingly the autographs were FOC, while most celebs at the event charged up to $30 for a signature and a photo opp (a chance to have your picture taken with the celeb).

Zak, Nick and Aaron were genuinely happy to meet and take photos with everyone in attendance.

Here Zak talks to my son Christopher. Chris was really excited to meet the very same people that he watches on TV every Friday.

The reps from the Travel Channel, who were very polite and helpful I might add, urged Zak, Nick and Aaron to stand up and personally thank everyone for showing up.

I got a chance to ask Nick about the 'craziest' place that he ever investigated. I mentioned the Linda Vista Community Hospital (old Santa Fe Railroad hospital) in Los Angeles as a possibility, but Nick said that there was a far scarier place that would be featured in an upcoming episode.

I wish that I could remember where he said that was.

Anyway, I was also able to thank Aaron for being a good sport, okay, I said 'sacrificial lamb' for going into places as a decoy. My words to him were, "Hey Aaron, would you mind going into the room where the Satanic rituals were held, and that guy chopped up his family, and read a little from Psalms for us?

The whole group laughed.

That was fun.

It is always a great thrill to meet the people that you see on TV all the time, and Zak, Nick and Aaron were truly 'real', and happy to talk to their fans.
