I was talking about a joke in "R.L. Stine's Haunted Lighthouse," not the Shrek DVD, which I have yet to see.

Oh, I doubt it as far as a mass-market release goes, but a DVD of the movie would probably be a cool item to sell at the parks' souvenir stands. I've always been kinda bummed that the big theme parks like Universal Studios didn't try doing stuff like that for their multimedia attractions...I mean, who wouldn't want a video of the "Back to the Future: The Ride" pre-show?

Now, if we were talking about this, like, seven years ago when R.L. Stine's "Goosebumps" books were the hottest thing in children's publishing, then yeah they most definitely would have tried to release it on home video to cash in on the books.

I recently went to a band trip in San Antonio and one of the places I visited was Sea world and it had a R.L. Stine movie in 4-D and I was exited. At the end of the movie Al made a Cameo apperance as a Jittery stuttering Waiter at a sea food joint. He gave the customers the C-Catfish S-Surprise the fish popped out of the pan and squirted the audience from above the movie screen. Al made the movie just that much better.

There's a whole thread about this in the Media Al section.

Just kidding. You're lucky. I've never seen that movie. I want to, though. I heard Al does a great job.

he was seemed way more confortable then ever before with his acting skills.
