As near as I can tell it started in ’77.
Star Wars had come out that spring and I was really, really into it.
For my birthday I had received a Darth Vader helmet, which I still own.
My cousin Carolyn, her husband Myron, kids Kim and Brian had come up to visit us for Thanksgiving. Her son was only a few years younger than me and also very into Star Wars.
I had my brother lead him down into the basement where most of the lights were off. As they walked through the basement I walked out behind them without them noticing, wearing the mask.
I did my best Vader breath noise. He turned around and went screaming (literally) out of the basement and refused to go back downstairs the rest of the visit.
I hadn’t really thought about that starting it all. But, that’s the first I remember. Never really intended it to be a habit. And, to be honest, I’m still a bit surprised about it. But, I guess it’s just a natural talent I should go with… What can you do?
