Among the many joys of being a journalist is the occasional crazy mail theme parks send me. I've received a shrunken head, a robotic dog, and enough packages with strange noises emanating from within to arouse the suspicion of my letter carrier. But I just received the all-time craziest mail from Universal Orlando. Inside a film can was a letter from "The Director," this year's host of Halloween Horror Nights at Islands of Adventure, along with a photo of his "vision" of me for a movie he is casting. I look like a cross between Jack Nicholson as The Joker and Malcom MacDowell in "Cat People." For the record, I'm not into body piercing. And I find the real photo of me in the upper-left corner of this page scary enough.
