Gregory Lamberson may have only been 3 years old when he was introduced to movies, but he remembers it as clear as day.
There was his first film, a double feature actually, of “Bambi” and “Pinocchio in Outer Space.” The regular walks he took with his mother to the old Regent theater in Dunkirk to watch movies, and, afterward, the visits to a nearby cigar store to buy a comic book.
Movies sparked the imagination of the young Lamberson, who would take his comic books and cut out the ads for glow-in-the-dark monster kits, sticking the photos of Universal monsters and other creatures to his television and making, in essence, “movies” as seen from a child’s imagination.
Today, at age 44, Lamberson still plays with monsters but this time as a filmmaker, screenwriter and author. It’s only fitting then, that Lamberson will see the publication of two of his books in October, the month that celebrates all things horror.
