“He just blew my mind as soon as I walked in,” Carias said. Because it was close to Halloween, they had things like glowing skeletons, Dracula, and Vampira. It was a really cool thing to see, so I paid a lot of attention to it. “He says that Baker was his teacher and that he fell in love with puppetry as an art form. Now, he tries to remember the past and give a good message for the future.Bob Baker died in 2014 at age 90. Carias proudly points to a tattoo on his hand that says “Baker.”
