wasn't the "The End" guy a news photog in "The Corpse Vanishes"?...
PG - no, this dude is Charlie Hall, CORPSE dude is Vince Barnett.

The "author" character pops up a couple of times in the movie, giving advice to characters and in one instance getting a girl to avoid walking down a dark alley where Bela and his gorilla are lurking in ambush!
Buzz,
Good to see you lurking around in the shadows again. You always seem to come up with interesting trivial tidbits like a little more crust on a rotten cadaver!!
Bleah! Worst cop-out ending ever!
