Life is Shorty

Irwin “Shorty” Yeaworth, who turned $140,000 and a lump of Jell-O into the box office hit and cult favorite The Blob, has died. Yeaworth also produced 4D Man and Dinosaurus! before turning his back on Hollywood and making hundreds of films with religious and social messages, none of which did him any good, as he died in a single car crash in Jordan. Perhaps a traffic safety video would have done him more good. Yeaworth also was in the process of completing a Disney World-style theme park of Jordanian history called Jordanian Experience at the Aqaba Gateway. You really can’t make this stuff up.
