“Turn to the dark side Ryan”
Jon sent in this terrific picture of his brother Ryan encountering a rather home made looking Lord Vader at Karber’s camera store in Hamden CT. I think the chest panel is from Phantom of the Paradise.
Where is Jon you ask? Well, he informs me that he was too scared of the Dark Lord and ran away! I think we’ve all had those moments, thanks Jon!
One year when my son chose to dress up as Darth Vader he put on his costume, and even at 4 feet tall he was scary. Imagine the presence of 6'5" David Prowse in costume. Inevitably the pulse would race the first few times you were around that. Probably helped the actors.
