Ophelia Necro first learned about Mr. Lobo at the Psychotronix Film Fest in Los Altos Hills back in 2003. She had been the DJ with the KFJC who was a co-presenter of the Film Fest. She was a longtime fan of Mr. Lobo’s dear friend and mentor Bob Wilkins and very soon became hooked on Cinema Insomnia while had aired on KTEH.

Following the event, she began attending several events which evolved Mr. Lobo. One of the events included a few of them paying tribute to Bob Wilkins.

A few years later on Halloween in 2010, Mr. Lobo led the whole wedding party of Ophelia and her husband while he officiated their wedding.

A year later her and her husband moved to Sacramento, CA. During that time they got to know Mr. Lobo and Mrs. Lobo through watching bad movies. She joyfully explained she was very happy to attend the 2011 and 2012 Sacramento Horror Film Fests Mr. Lobo hosted. During the 2012 Zombie Beauty Pageant event held during the Sacramento Horror Film Fest, she placed in 3rd place.

MISTER LOBO and RUSSELL “MOJO MAN” HUNSBERGER struck a chord a few years ago when he first saw CINEMA INSOMNIA back in when it aired on KTEH 54 in Concord CA. After they officially met in 2005, they partnered up for the half time show at Wondercon 2005 in San Francisco where Russ was the stage ninja.

This lead Russ to graciously ask Mr. Lobo to participate in his band FANS OF JIMMY CENTURY music video for their song Hot Sahara.

Over the years they have become very good friends through their discussions of misunderstood movies. Mojo Man often offered up his home in Concord as a base for Lobo’s appearances and events and has even supplied props, screeners, and manpower for countless projects. He also booked MR. LOBO to be a special guest at a convention he was part of called CARNIVAL OF STARS. When MR. LOBO had a cameo in the CINEMA INSOMNIA featured film A HARD DAYS NIGHTMARE, Russ played an extra monster in the film and brought several friends as was instrumental in keeping up moral and making sure The Lobo’s arrived on time and remained well fed.

The exuberant, warm, funny, and energetic Mojo Man explains…

“We would talk about misunderstood movies and we would riff films from my library. Great guy and I would help set up at shows which was a lot of fun and watch the table when he would have to do a panel. He is one of the most clever and quick witted people I have ever met and I will always do what I can to help out on whatever endeavors he has going on.”

 Mr. Lobo and Ken Hulsey go way back….eleven years in fact! After Ken purchased a DVD of the classic Cinema Insomnia episode of Gigantis, The Fire Monster, the DVD did not work for him which lead him to contacting Mr. Lobo for a replacement. Then after a long conversation between Ken and Mr. Lobo of figuring out the problem they continued talking to soon discover that they both had the same “off-center view” on classic films and cinema itself.Ken Hulsey has shown his support over the years for Cinema Insomnia by writing many articles on Cinema Insomnia on his website “Monster Island News.”  He even was featured in a segment in one of the old episodes; however, the camera malfunctioned making the footage unusable but that did not stop him from helping Mr. Lobo out with publicity for the show. 

Even today, Ken continues to tune into and enjoy Cinema Insomnia episodes. He also has a database full of old pictures classic Cinema Insomnia episodes that aired from back in Mr. Lobo’s PBS days.
