So, on Monday I mentioned the fact that I was a slasher victim on the season finale of The Closer.
Did you watch? Did you see me? In fact, I was already dead when the show started, having been one of the victims of the serial killer who dressed as a ninja. In fact, if you have it recorded, you can see my "murder sheet" right around minute 50, when the detective from El Paso hands Kyra Sedgewick the folder of slasher victims, and then she looks through it and has an emotional moment before deciding to hand the killer over to the state of Texas for execution.
Further, are you ready to see the picture? ???? Here is the close-up version of the murder photo, which I am warning you in advance, is VERY DISTURBING. I was even commended for my convincing "death stare." For real.
Are you ready? Because it's bad.
Whoa!
And, how did I end up dead on The Closer, you might ask?
Well, when your friend is the Co-Executive Producer of The Closer and also the writer of the finale (great job, Adam!), sometimes you get a call like "Hey, can you come to the set and pose for some murder photographs?". The answer to this, of course, is "Hell yes I will-- but only if I can have to gory photo for my blog.". Because I care, and I want to provide you with interesting stories and things to see, ok?
I did it for you, people!
I did have one almost-disappointing moment when I discovered they add the gore in PhotoShop and that I would not be getting fake-slashed for real, but that was quickly mitigated when I saw how messy the REAL fake gore was (that they put on the girl at the beginning of the show who got slashed by the pool) and decided that my Diane von Furstenberg dress would never have recovered.
It was a very fun day, I did get to meet the cast and got a tour of the set, and I also snagged this photo of a pile of dead plastic dummies for your amusement.
Also, Kevin Bacon directed the episode and I got to meet him as well, so if you know me, I think you can now safely say you are two degrees from Kevin Bacon, and that's always exciting as well.
