Bianca Barnett



Who are you?:

I am a professional actress, model, and full-time student. I played Pig Bitch in "Albino Farm" (playing on Showtime channels July - November, available on Netflix, Blockbuster, iTunes, Amazon, my website... everywhere!) and organ thief, Marlena, in "In a Spiral State". I have several films coming out soon-"My Sucky Teen Romance" (premiered at SXSW '11 & in theaters early 2012), “Dead Inside", “The Toy Box", and more! I also appear in Dennis Willman's strikingly beautiful comic, "GINGER-STEIN: Rise of the Undead" which is out now!  I recently won the 2011 Golden Cob Award for Best Rising B Movie Actress thanks to fans voting from all over the world!

1) What are the top two questions you're sick of being asked - and, their answers?

What is your favorite horror movie or first horror movie you watched? -  I like 70s/80s slasher films, especially if they are set in the woods. I can’t remember the first horror film I watched, but The Shining was the scariest film I saw as a kid. My step father had a taped copy and I “stole” it sometime in the late 80s or early 90s… couldn’t stop screaming throughout the film, but couldn’t look away, either!

How did you get started? – Started as a model then transitioned into film via student projects, music videos, and low budget pictures, blah, blah, blah.

2) What's a few of your pet-peeves, or in the words of George Carlin, 'psychotic fuckin' hatreds?'

Pushy people, manipulators, poseurs, fakes, and liars bother the fuck out of me. I hate people who think they are outsmarting me or think I have no idea what I am doing with my life. Also, strangers that think their opinions actually mean anything to me, especially when it comes to my life and career. Seriously, they butt in with stupid opinions about everything- from who I married, to what I should look like, to what school I am going to. I cannot count how many times people have “warned” me about choices I have made, but generally, I say “fuck you” and do what I want anyway. I love proving them wrong again and again.

3) What's the crappiest movie you've ever seen? What makes it the worst for you?

Jeez, where do I start? There have been so many. I understand we all start somewhere, but most things shot today are zero budget amateur garbage. Digital film making is both a blessing and a curse. Now every Joe Blow with access to a digital camera, Facebook account, and Final Cut Pro thinks they are the next goddamn Robert Rodriguez. The same goes for “actors” and “models”.

4) What song would you consider to be your absolute guiltiest pleasure?

I have a soft spot for John Denver songs. Stop laughing at me!

5) What is something that completely grosses you out?

Honestly, most men creep me out, but they make up 99% of my fan base. So...  next question?

6) Is there another celebrity that people say you look like?

Growing up, it was always Marisa Tomei. Now it is Whitney Cummings and Angelina Jolie, or any semi attractive brunette in a commercial or on TV.

7) How long do you think you could tolerate life without a cell phone in your possession?

I rarely use my cell, so probably a disturbingly long time. In fact, it is an expensive paper weight on my desk right now. It is mostly for communication with my family and husband, but I do use it for work on occasion.

8) Do you think you cuss entirely too much, just enough, or not enough throughout your normal day?

Not mother fuckin’ enough, goddammit!

9) What's something you had as a kid that you think today's kids are missing out on?

Good music- I mean, seriously, popular music today is a joke.

10) Do you still watch kids’ movies- without any kids around?

Not really, but I did watch Hocus Pocus last night. I like that one! My favorite kid movies are the darker ones like Sleeping Beauty, The Black Cauldron, and The Last Unicorn.

Shameless self-promotion/shout outs/any last words:

Thank you for the opportunity! I hope to hear from your readers and network with any film makers out there.

Mike Aloisi

Who are you?:
Mike is the author of the recently released biography of horror icon, Kane Hodder.
1) What are the top two questions you're sick of being asked - and, their answers?

I have a great idea for a story, would you write it?  Answer- NO (though I put it much nicer than that)

As for the other, just people not realizing I'm the author of a book and asking me questions about the store I'm in when I'm sitting behind a table with books all over and a sign that says, meet the author.  Answer- No, I do not know where the bathroom is or if you can get a latte discount with the purchase of two books. 


2) What's a few of your pet-peeves, or in the words of George Carlin, 'psychotic fuckin' hatreds?'

Hmmm... People being late and people who don't try to better their life.  

3) What's the most embarrassing job you've ever had, in or out of 'the industry?'

Working on a cleaning crew and having to clean the men's room after "taco Tuesday".  Still makes me queasy.  
4) Is there a store you would be completely lost without?

Not a physical store, but with out Amazon. come I'd be lost... yet I'd probably have a LOT more money in my life.  

5) John Carpenter and George Lucas get into a fistfight. What would you guess started it and who do you think wins?

It was over the last egg salad sandwich on the craft service table.  George would throw food at John and then run... John would slowly pick up a knife and throw it... landing it right between George's shoulder blades.  

6) One of the hardest lessons you've had to learn in your adult life?

Might sound bad, but to not trust anyone until they prove themselves to you on more than one occasion.  Just been let down to many times.  

7) Has there ever been a movie that you've watched and had nightmares because of it, the same night?

I'm a man, I don't have nightmares... riiiiiight.  That use to happen a lot in my youth, mostly with Jason Voorhees, but now, I typically have nightmares about odd things like bananas.  

8) What's the most ridiculous nickname anyone ever given you?

Aloe.  Like I'm some sort of soothing lotion.  Guy just took the first part of my last name (pronounced: Al-Oh-We-Z) and it stuck for a while. 

9) Ever have stalker issues?

No, but I am looking for one if anyone is interested.  Figure if I was stalked I would feel really successful!  

10) If you had the chance to own your dream car, would you let it simply sit in a garage or would you actually drive it?

Could care less about cars, so I would pick the most expensive one and then sell it for the money.   Then buy a cheaper one and have cash to do what I want with.

What film are you most known for? (Nightmare 4)

:)

2) Kharma/Karma - what are your thoughts on it?

What goes around comes around. You mock what you will become.

Yes, "The Exorcist" hate hate hate that movie. I just can't stand to have it around me. And I am very good friends with Linda Blair, and when I see her at a show or appearance I always turn her pictures over. That is what gives me Nightmares.

4) If fans are going to buy you drinks - what are you having?

Anything Fruity. Yum!

5) Do you do your absolute best to speak in a politically-correct manner? How well is that working out for you?

It's gotten me this far in life... I think that should answer the question.

6) What's the most ridiculous nickname anyone's ever given you?

I have a pretty Unique name... and people think its a nickname anyways, so they all just call me Tuesday. But it is my name. So I have never had that problem.

7) Worst city/state/country you've ever visited?

Well I went on a horrible road trip and got lost and ended up close to Vegas. But I wouldn't say Nevada is horrible because of it.

8) Star Wars or Star Trek?

This is really hard since I do not watch either, but I am going to go with Star Trek, because my on Screen Mother in "Nightmare 4" Brooke Bundy was in a few episodes and she is just amazing.

9) If there's another animal that will inherit the Earth after humans are gone- which animal would it be?

Squirrel Shark... Yikes!

10) Have you ever felt like you belong in a different time?

Yes. I really love the 1500's such beauty and grace.

Shameless self promotion/shout outs/any last words:

Yes everyone check out the new Documentary "More Brains! A Return To the Living Dead" because my best friend Mike Perez and another good friend Beverly Randolph are the Executive Producers.
And I want to say that I love my Daddy and I miss him so much and that I love my Mother, whom I am blessed to see everyday of my life.

Amanda Dyar



Who are you?:


My name is Amanda Dyar and I go by the cosplay name of Mistress Barbie. I am publisher & editor of BioGamer Girl Magazine which is dedicated to girls, horror culture and gaming. I have a podcast where I interview celebrities in the horror genre and it is called Undead Noise with Mistress Barbie and some of the individuals interviewed are Kane Hodder (Friday the 13th), Adrienne Wilkinson (Xena: Warrior Princess) and John A. Russo (Night of the Living Dead) to name a few. I am a game reviewer for Girls & Corpses Magazine and Scream the Horror Magazine. I am also an actress/producer/director and just finished up a small role in the Contagion film and will be shooting Night of the Living Dead 2012 next year. Lastly, I am a comic book model for several comics including Squirrel by Comic Book Divas and Gingerstein: Rise of the Undead by Iron Dead Studios.


1) What are the top two questions you're sick of being asked - and, their answers?


The first would be, “Are there any websites were we can see more of you without clothes?”
The answer to that is No! If you do come across one then please let me know. There were those drunken nights in Cancun…

The second would be, “Would you like to audition for a role in our film where the character is naked most of the film?”
Usually the answer to that is, HELL NO! Come on dudes; come up with better pick-up lines! I was using that one like 10 years ago.


2) Do you still do anything special to celebrate your birthday? Why or why not?


Actually my birthday has become just another day. I turn 30 in January 2012 and to think it seems like only yesterday I was 19. This has shown me that maybe I drank way too much in between 19 and 30. Seriously, I woke up one day and my boobs weren’t perky anymore and my butt was bigger…felt like Courtney Love.


3) Kharma/Karma - what are your thoughts on it?


I kind of believe it exists and I kind of think it doesn’t. It basically comes down to the fact that evil people, liars, manipulators who keep doing bad things will eventually get caught and all of it will come tumbling down.  Case in point: “I did not have sexual relations with that woman.” A great quote from our ex-president Bill Clinton. I mean you know if he would just fessed up that he needed some outside action because he is married to a prude then I think the world could have understood that.


4) What's the saddest (emotionally) movie you've ever seen?


Old Yeller (1957) is one film I can say I probably cried my eyes out more than any other film in my whole life. I first saw it as a kid and to this day if I pop it in to watch then I still get just as emotional during it as I did that first time.


5) A phrase/word that is/was ever trendy, that drove you insane?


The phrase, “Just Saying.”  In the last year people have used that so much that I literally think I could just punch someone in the face if I hear it one more time. I have no idea what it originated from but whatever it was I like to go back in time and destroy it.


6) Do you actually know all of the words to the official national anthem of wherever you consider your 'homeland' to be?


Actually, I do know all the words to the Star Spangled Banner! Do not ask me to sing it because I have a horrid country, Minnie Mouse accent and it does not do our national anthem justice at all.


7) Your favourite dirty phrase, without using swear words:


“Eat Me!”  I probably work that into casual conversation about 20 times a day.


8) A rough estimate of how many different words you know for 'breasts:'


A rough estimate would be about 240 different ones. Yeah I like to keep up to date on human anatomy. My favorite word for them is probably “Balongas.”  Makes you want to tell someone to go make you a sammich.


9) Do you consider yourself a 'phone person?'


I hate to talk on the phone! You can text me or contact me online via email, Skype, Facebook, MSN or the like. But talking on the phone is probably in my top ten things of what I hate to do. I am not a phone person at all! I dunno, maybe if I had a 900 number and actually made money to talk, that may change my view on it.


10) Are you the kind of friend that you would want to have as a friend?


Yes, I am the type of friend that I would want to have but rarely do. There is the age old saying, “Do unto others as you would want them to do unto you.” And no one lives by that anymore. Usually if you’re really good to people and they are always terrible in return then you eventually just want to be awful right back to them. Alas, I cannot be that way. But I do have a handful of really great friends and I always treat them as I would want to be treated and I am lucky they are just as great a
friend in return.

Walter Koenig



Who are you?:

Walter Koenig. I've been a professional actor for fifty years. Mostly known for Star Trek and Babylon 5 but did other work too. I've performed on the stage in L.A. and toured as well. I taught acting and directing at UCLA but also  privately. I wrote for some television series in the early seventies.  A novel, an autobiography  and a journal that I authored have been published as well as a few comic books. I wrote and produced a feature film that is now available on dvd.

1) What are the top two questions you're sick of answering - and, their answers?

"Do you pronounce your name George Ta(kay) or Goerge Ta(ky). I've actually only been asked that once (in Syracuse a couple of weeks ago) but I'm already sick of hearing it. Even though it was asked in one sentence I consider it two questions. The answer is, of course, "Screw off!"

2) What's a few of your pet-peeves, or in the words of George Carlin, 'psychotic fuckin' hatreds?'

A peeving pet always annoys me. Don't you hate it when your Egyptian Water Hound pouts and sulks?

3) What trend in recently made films are you sick of seeing?

When they make two hundred million dollar CGI driven action movies instead of spreading that budget between five incisively written stories that explore the human condition.

4) What do YOU consider to be the root of all evil?

Ignorance in all forms.

5) What is something your parent/guardian told you when you were a kid and when you grew up, realized it was a lie?

"Don't touch yourself. It isn't good for you." Actually, I figured that one out before I grew up.

6) What's something you had as a kid that you think today's kids are missing out on?

Street games. Everything from stickball to kick the can and staying out until the sun set without any concerns.

7) Would you ever go into a strip club with a sign that read '12 hot chicks and 1 ugly one' JUST to see the 'ugly one?'

That sounds so counterproductive.

8) What are your thoughts on conspiracy theorists?

I put most of them in the same category as ghost hunters. Still, there are exceptions.

9) What was the last traffic ticket you received for?

I crossed a double line in the middle of the street while making a left hand turn into a parking lot. Actually, when I started talking to the cop with a Russian accent and humming the the theme music to Star Trek he let me off. True story. I'm shameless.

10) What would be your simple fix for all of the world's issues?

The genetic ingredient in all humans that causes them to act violently towards others. Also, I'd eradicate ignorance.

11) Are there any foods that you would choose to starve rather than eat?

Olives.

12) Have you ever been ramen noodles every dinner or dish soap for laundry soap kind of broke?

I've had laundry soap for dinner kind of broke. Well, no not really but I'm trying to build a sympathy base here.

13) Have you ever (accidentally) hit an animal or person with your vehicle?

We drove through the desert at night on our honeymoon. I didn't actually see them but I heard the "thump" of jack rabbits bouncing off my fenders.

14) A phrase/word that is/was ever trendy, that drove you insane?

"Fantabulous". Also, when I was thirteen I hit a kid at camp who, after receiving a package from home, exclaimed
"Super Peachy Keen!"

15) If you could having a boxing match with anyone in the world, who would it be?

First of all, it would have to be someone I could beat and that probably narrows the field considerably.

16) Ever accidentally punch yourself in the face?

Yes, I have. Generally it happens when I'm trying to open something and my hand slips.

17) Do you believe in ghosts or aliens? Or, both?

Nope although I know people who are usually reliable who swear that they have.

18) Sitting on a plane, do you prefer window or aisle seats?

Aisle. I have a special relationship with the bathroom. I'm weird about having easy access to it. I've even been called a "Bathroom Stalker".

19) Pick out one of your scars - where is it and how did you manage to achieve it?

The one that runs about five inches across my inner thigh. That's where they went in when I had my quadruple by-pass 18 years ago.

20) Do you sing in the shower/bathroom?

I think I did it once but the pipes all rusted. I interpreted it to be a sign.

Shameless self promotion/shout outs/any last words:

I've written an epic story which, in collaboration with artist Juan Carlos Baez, is being turned into a graphic novel . It is first being published in installments on a monthly basis (September through December) and then bundled for release in January, 2012 through Barnes & Noble among others. It's called "Things To Come"


Words from me: Okay, if you can't see, from his answers, why I absolutely adore Walter- you're insane and blind! He's one of the most hilarious, incredible, charming, intelligent and calming people I've ever had the pleasure of knowing, AND! He's an incredible stroyteller, both in real life and through his novels, movies and comics. The DVD he mentioned in his intro is called 'InAlienable.' It's an excellent story. And, of course, his 'Things to Come' was just released- will be released as a complete graphic novel in January. I wish Walter and Juan the best of luck with it. BTW, Walter's singing isn't THAT bad...sheesh. There's a video on YouTube, somewhere. *Coughs* Oh! And, his questions will remain for the entire week. Why? Because, I said so, play favourites and you only wish you were as awesomely fan-fucking-tastic as he is.
