ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Known as Daddy-O to his on-line MSTie pals, STEPHEN F. FINLEY has been a fan of MST3000 since its very first season...no surprise as he was already a fan of old movies, bad movies, rubber monster suits, Hercules, clever writing, wacky impressions, non-sequiturs and, most importantly, hand puppets.

If you have any comments, corrections or additional material for DADDY-O's DRIVE-IN DIRT, or think that Steve would be a great asset to your company (hint, hint), email Stephen at daddyo3k@yahoo.com. Your contributions will be greatly appreciated. While exploring this monster, please be patient and keep in mind that this is an eternal work in progress.


ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS / THANKS TO:

Mike White, Chris Cornell, Paul Edmiston, Michael Daddino, Andy Alvernaz and Matt Morrison for their contributions, inspiration, and patience!

Brian Henry for doing the links, graphics and other technowizardry; for showing me how to do it myself; and for coming up with the great title for this website.

These MSTies for some clueing Daddy-O in on some hep trivia: Alan Adkins, Neil Brock, Liz, Scott Robinson and WereTorgo.

These movie makers and actors who took the time to email or talk with me directly: Dave Eddy (prod/1004), Dave Giancola (dir/821), Sebastian Harrison (grandson of AIP's James Nicholson/prod/309+), Mollie McCart Sommer (actor/522), and Ursula Pearson (prod/actor/404).

Rick Prelinger, who has saved all those shorts and thousands more for posterity.

And most of all...the folks at Best Brains (past and present), without whom I would not have: known about Coleman Francis or Arch Hall Jr.; created this website; or met such wonderful on-line friends!!! Just think, all you guys wanted to do was have fun on a wacky puppet show. See what happens if you're not careful?!
