Uncle Fester "Smokin'" at the Doo Dah Queen Tryouts

This is also a frame capture from HD video using the Canon EOS Rebel T6 camera, with the Canon 18-55mm lens.

 

I forget his real name, but the person who shows up at the queen tryouts and the parade as Uncle Fester is in real life a high school chemistry teacher. He manages to have access to blocks of dry ice, which he puts into a pitcher and pours water in it to get that eerie fog effect. And then he sticks battery operated light bulbs into his mouth. In this shot he is doing both. To the right is former queen Narayana, a regular from the beginning (1978), who performs Middle Eastern dancing, but not this time, as there was no room for her to maneuver around. She will no doubt save that for both the parade and the after-party, also slated to be held here.
