Gary Ugarek

Who are you?:

I am Gary Ugarek, the writer and director of Deadlands: The Rising (2006), Deadlands 2: Trapped (2008) and All in the Game (2011)


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

When is Deadlands 3 coming out? I was hoping to make this film and release it this year but it has been super tough trying to raise the films budget. Everyone says do it on the cheap like the last two, but it can't be done on the cheap... I would like to see everyone get paid, the entire crew. Most of the time it is just the FX artist making money and it is minimal money at that.

the 2nd question... Where do you see yourself in 5 years? (channeling Mitch Hedgberg) Celebrating the anniversary of you asking me this question.

2. What's the crappiest movie you've ever seen? What makes it the worst for you?

This is a tough question... I am going to go with Rob Zombie's Halloween remake. I can't even begin to explain how bad this film is, and how much I loathed it. I enjoyed it up until William Forsythe was executed. The guy is a great actor, and he kept the first 15 minutes interesting, but once he was killed off the movie just kept going downhill, from Malcolm McDowell's John Travolta strut into the principals office right up until the end credits.

I remember seeing the 90 second teaser and thinking this film was going to be badass, then went to the theater to view the final product and nearly threw up all my popcorn. I kept saying how can Rob go from a great film like The Devil's Reject and totally destroy Halloween. This is not a film that should have been fucked up, and if he was the huge fan of the original as he claimed, why not be more faithful to the source material.

I appreciated how Carpenter kept Michael vague and mysterious, but Rob had to give him the typical white trash background he is famous for, and it just ruined the mystique of Michael Myers.

3. What song would you consider to be your absolute guiltiest pleasure?

Video Killed The Radio Star by the Buggles

4. Do you think tan lines are sexy?

On a woman, yes. On a man, I try very hard to not even look.

5. Do you sing in the shower/bathroom?

It depends... sometimes you just get in that nice hot shower, and then suddenly it releases stress or frustration and you just wanna sing, or if I wake up in a peppy mood, I will just start belting out a tune.

6. In a song- are the lyrics or is the music more important to you?

I prefer the music. The rhythm of a song is what gets me hooked. I have heard great music in songs, but they get ruined by crappy lyrics. I have been on a hunt for instrumentals for my MP3 collection. Songs that use minor chords are my favorite. I am a huge fan of the song Stayin' Alive by the Bee Gees, that is a song that has the most perfect music arrangement, and then you get to top it off with a great vocal arrangement. It is a classic you can still bop too, and I am not afraid to crank it up if it comes on Sirius' 70's on 7.

7. Someone passes gas in an elevator- do you ignore it, call it out, or claim it?

I can honestly say I have never been in an elevator when that happened, but if I was to be, I would call it out, and if I did I would definitely fess up.

8. Do you roam your house naked?

Only during massive orgies which happen.... well they don't ever happen so the answer is NO

9. Is there an accent that gets on your nerves?

YES, and not to sound rude or racist, but indian accents are the worst for me because I have very hard time understanding the verbiage coming from their mouth, and I am constantly having to ask them to slow down and repeat themselves. I know they are just trying to earn a dollar and a cent in this world, but when you don't have a total grasp of the language, slow down your speech pattern. Sometimes I wanna pull a Chris Tucker but in reverse "I don't understand the words coming out of your mouth"

10. Is there a number or specific time of day that haunts you on a daily basis?:

Yes... alarm wake up time... whatever it needs to be on that particular day.

Shameless self promotion/shout outs/any last words:

Shout Outs to the All in the Game Cast & Crew: Micaiah Jones, Chris Clanton, Daniel Ross, Seann Ikon Habib (Habibbles) Awan, Mike McMullin Nelson Irizarry Dylan Hintz Kelvin Page... Thank You Guys for sticking with me on that uber crazy uber low budget ride of gangster violence and mayhem.

Promotion: my newest film, Thug Life: All in the Game is playing at the Fright night Film Fest on June 30th 5pm, in Louisville, KY, and it hits DVD this September.

Last Words: If you're a filmmaker, be proud you have made a film. Even if the film isn't well received, it doesn't matter. What matters is that you saw the project through to the end and it is in the can. Many wannabe filmmakers out there never get passed the script stage, and you have done it all, be proud and fuck what anybody says or thinks of your product.

Marie Grace Stephens

Short intro/Who are you?:

Hi…my name is Marie Grace Stephens and I’m a screenwriter/filmmaker/rocket scientist and circus performer…

Oh, and I raise pygmy weasels in my off time…

I’m just kidding about the ‘rocket scientist’ part…

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

 Well…I can’t think of questions I’m sick of…but these were asked just yesterday…and by the same person ironically…

A) Marie, Have you killed again?!

ANSWER:   Maybe…

B) Did you bake that banana bread?!

ANSWER:  Maybe…

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

People who ask me what my pet peeves are…

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

I tried to watch “Manos”—The hands of fate… with the MST3k treatment…and it was still ‘un-watchable’…

What makes it worse is that this was a type of creative vision of some sort…and I wouldn’t want to be in that guy’s head…

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

I don’t have a song per se…but I have guilty pleasures…
Do you want to know about the legal ones or the illegal ones?

5) If you were on Death Row, what would it be for and what would your last meal be?

Not sure…but at this point in my life...probably murder…and that’s not a confession…by the way…

And my meal would involve chocolate…the good stuff…not the cheap crap…I’d ask for the most rare and expensive chocolate…because it would take them longer to get it…and then I could keep working on my escape plan…

6) When a song that you know, but dislike, comes on- do you still sing to it?

Hell no! I’m afraid that shit will get stuck in my head and torment me all day…so when I hear I song I hate…I immediately start singing a song I love…hoping that one will stick…instead of the bad one…there’s nothing worse for me than hearing a horrible song play over and over in your head all day… (Damn you, Celine Dion…)

7) Do you relate to the majority of heroes or villains in stories?

Hmmm…there’s a hero and villain inside all of us…so I think I identify with both…especially when I wear a cape…

8) Do you collect anything that other people find strange for YOU to, personally, collect?

I don’t think so…I collect PEANUTS memorabilia and silent film memorabilia…

But maybe my voodoo doll collection could creep people out…I have to admit…I’ve gotten some weird looks from people… especially when the doll looks like them…

9) What side of the bed do you sleep on?

Whatever side my dogs haven’t stolen first… the little shits… 

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

Crazy voodoo lady…but that might be because of the dolls…

Shameless self promotion/shout outs/any last words:

Friend me on facebook…(MarieGraceStephens-Screenwriter)…

And my website…MarieGraceStephens.com will be up shortly…

Also… my short film, “What about the Monsters!?” will be out soon…

Thanks Angela!!

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.

Lito Velasco

Who are you?: 

I'm an aspiring actor, musician, composer, producer, and writer living my dream in Hollywood, California.  And while I have so far been lucky enough to work in "the industry" (and with some of the legends of the horror world), every day I thank fortune because in the end...I'm still just a wide-eyed fan/dork who somehow got lucky.

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

I haven't been interviewed enough times and am certainly no sort of celebrity to really feel like I'm "sick of" any questions posed to me.  So I'll just go with questions that get posed to me in "real life"...

"Why are you still a Cubs fan?"  Answer: because in my mind, being a loyal and steadfast Cubs fan proves that you can endure any hardship that life throws your way.  If you're optimistic (read: dumb) enough to have new hope for the team every Spring...then you've got what it takes to make it through just about any trial.  And hopefully one day...that patience and faith will be rewarded.

"You REALLY liked 'Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull'?  Seriously, dude?!"  Answer: yes, now please stop asking me that before I get angry.

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

I know a lot of people would answer with "money"...and I'm going to go a similar route: unchecked and unabatable greed.  I look around and see it everywhere and it just really makes me stop and shake my head and think to myself, "Man...when is enough enough?!"  People who have so much always want more and seem to think they never have enough and it just sort of makes me laugh because...those people will never be happy or find what they're looking for.  And while I don't want to come off like a prick or seem judgmental by saying something like that...I think people will understand exactly what I mean and am trying to convey.

3) If you had to pick someone in the celebrity world to back you up in a fight, who would you pick and why?: 

Easiest question of the lot: Harrison Ford.  That guy's not only one of the greatest screen icons in the history of cinema...he's also a real-life hero who doesn't take any shit from anyone, tells it like it is, and I'm sure could kick copious amounts of ass if called upon to do so.  Not to mention...how cool would it be to know you were duking it out with roughnecks alongside Indiana Jones/Han Solo?  'Nuff said, methinks.

4) 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?: 

My dream car is a DeLorean...and if I got one, I would soup it up to make it an exact, screen-accurate match of the time-machine from Back to the Future...and then I would drive that thing into the ground!

5) Star Wars or Star Trek?: 

Since I was old enough to have a single thought that actually mattered, I have NEVER bought into the idea that you cannot absolutely adore and be a fan of both of those franchises and worlds.  My wife will attest to the fact that I am living proof of that fact.  I grew up a diehard Star Wars "baby"...but once I reached my teens, I discovered the amazing world of Trek with episodes of The Next Generation...which lead me to seek out the feature films and go back to the original series as well.  Both worlds are so completely unique...and they're both filled with amazing character, life lessons, wonderful stories, etc.  Plus...I appeared (barely!) in a few scenes in the J.J. Abrams reboot (which I absolutely loved), so I have to be a proud Trekkie!

Now...if you're asking me a "If you could only have one for the rest of your life..." sort of question...then as much as it pains me to say it, I would have to say...may the force be with us...always.  Geez, I look back on all my answers thus far and I have REALLY outed myself as the world's biggest dork, haven't I?  Oh well, I still was able to marry the prom queen...and she loves me.  So...take that, world!

6) Any phobias?: 

A couple of really strong ones, actually.  But I don't think revealing them in an Internet interview that could potentially be read by millions of people across the world is the smartest thing for someone who is technically in "the public eye" to do.  So let's just go with: puppies and tits.  I'm terrified of both.  Especially boobs.  So if anyone ever wants to terrify me...that's a good way to go.  Show me some boobs and I'll scream like Jamie Lee!

7) How far do you think you would get if you went on the show 'Who Wants To Be A Millionaire?':

This isn't the type of question I should be honest with, is it?!  If I say "all the way", people will think I'm a conceited jerk (which many already do).  If I say "I'd fail miserably", people will think I'm being falsely modest.  Ahhh, the lovely Catch-22's of show business.  (sighs)  I'll be honest: I think I could do really, really well.  Seriously.

8) Ever actually *facepalm* or *headdesk* before?: 

Several times, actually.  Many of those incidents took place during George W. Bush's Presidency.  Ooops, have I said too much?  Oh well.

9) Is the omission of information considered the same as lying?: 

My attorney has advised me not to answer this question.  Wait...did I just tell a lie?!  CRAP!

10) Do you still watch kid movies- without any kids around? If so, have a favourite?: 

Abso-friggin'-lutely!  Favorites include just about anything Pixar (although I wonder...are those technically considered "kids movies"?)- I still say Toy Story 3 was the best film of last year -and Sesame Street Presents: Follow That Bird.  You haven't lived until you've seen the scene where Ernie and Bert fly an airplane.  Absolutely magical, my friends.

Shameless self promotion/shout outs/any last words:

As far as "shout outs": a big thanks to Angela for asking me to do this.  Opportunities like this are always flattering...and mystifying.  Because I have no idea why anyone ever wants to hear what I have to say.  Hopefully I didn't embarrass myself too badly.  Okay, so I did.

Thanks to every person who reads this and every fan who supports not only what I do...but cinema and horror in general.
Thank you to every person who has believed in and helped me and continues supporting me.  Most of them know who they are already, but a special thanks to: Guy, George and Mindy, Chris, Stacey and Lori, Jason, Thommy, Daniel, Mikey, Gwen, Kathy and "the boys", Ana, Mina, my parents.
Finally, the most sincere and heartfelt thank you to my amazing, beautiful, hilarious, and ridiculously supportive wife, Jennifer.  In The Rock, Sean Connery’s character said, "Losers always whine about their best.  Winners go home and f**k the prom queen."  So no matter how bad certain days may be...at least on some level I know I am “winning”.  Thanks, Charlie.

The answser: No.

Words from me: I have a need to correct that Julie Anne was replaced at the last moment, with Roni Jonah. These questions were done previous to the shooting of the video, which was shot a couple of days ago. I think Ari had entirely too much fun there. Ha.

Ted Alderman

Who are you?: 

My name is Ted Alderman and I am an actor and stuntman.  Also from time to time make films, I own Wicked Dreams Entertainment, but prefer acting more.  Being behind the camera is a headache!!! :)
 
1) What are the top two questions you're sick of being asked - and, their answers? 

Have you ever been told you resemble Patrick Swayze? and Are you related to the Swayze family?  I say, yes ever since Dirty Dancing first came out when I was in High School, even though I really don't see it. And no, but I wished I was related to him.  He was a great person and I really wanted to meet him before he left this world.  He was one of the inspirations for me to start acting.

2) Are there any dumb questions out there?  Or, is it true that there are none?

Well... once being in the National Honor Society and field medic in the military I would have to say that there isn't any dumb questions.  BUT as a human being... it may only be that it's confused people asking confusing questions?!?!?!

3) Do you think tan lines are sexy? 

I prefer females with an all over tan... I don't think there is anything sexier than that!!!

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

No... I'm a person to person type of communicator.

5) Rollercoasters - are you just a line buddy or a coaster warrior? 

Definitely a coaster warrior!!!  I use to work at Six Flags north of Chicago and we use to ride one of the rides with either the bar that locks you in loose and even rode it backwards.  I'm still in search of a coaster that actually scares me!!!

6) Do you consider yourself more of a country or city person? 

City person!!! I'm from Mississippi and it's such a small area that it's boring and dull.  I love big cities cause there are so much to do and with my mind, I get bored with things very fast so it needs new things to keep it intrigued.

7) Is there a number or specific time of day that haunts you on a daily basis? 

Not anything that I can really think of at the moment.

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

Yes... when I was in the military and the first time I lived in California, the government had messed up one of my pay checks and it put me so far in a hole that it took them 9 months to straighten it out.  Because of the mistake I was late on rent and other bills that I only ate ramen noodles or hamburger helper for a few months.

9) Do you still own an address book/book with written addresses and phone numbers? 

I do have a notebook that I have names, addresses and phone numbers in.  But it's a backup for just in case my iPhone crashes and I lose all my contacts. :)

10) How do you feel about grammar? 

I don't know.  I'm not a huge critic about it.

Shameless self promotion/shout outs/any last words:

My site (www.TedAlderman.com) is a little outdated but I'm currently looking for acting gigs and have my reel on Youtube (www.youtube.com/watch?v=GHflBsC_IQo) and my Facebook page (www.Facebook.com/AldermanTed).  Have a look!!  I love traveling and always have a great time working with new people.  Wait a minute didn't I hear they're making a film based on Patrick Swayze's life.... Ummm  I'm game and I'm also a martial artist and dancer!!! :)

Todd Farmer

Short intro/who are you?:

I am a writer who takes his pants off and while I am not a dick, I play one on TV.

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

Most asked question: "What's up with H3D?"
Answer: Lussier and I delivered our draft at the end of '09 and learned there wasn't enough time or money to shoot the movie before we had to start prepping Drive Angry.  While recently working on the Hellraiser story we were told it was time to talk Halloween again.  So at the moment, we're talking.  We'll see.

2nd most asked question: "Were you and Betsy really doing it?" 
Answer: Sure.

2) What celebrity (that you have no ties with) would you blink out of existence if you could? Why?

Interesting question but I've no idea.  I don't follow celebs or their odd lives because there's no money in it.  I have a few celeb friends and with the fame and money comes a terrible price of living with no privacy nor normalcy.  Guess if I had to blink somebody it would be a reality "star".  Dunno which one, cuz I don't watch reality shows.  Blink your pick on my behalf.  You have my blessing.  :)

3) What's the worst thing you've ever been called or what would be the worst thing anyone could call you?

Martha.

4) If the human race was obliterated and you were the sole survivor, how long do you think you'd survive?

I'd be fine.  I got seven or eight personalities in here to keep me company.

5) 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?'

No but I'd love to punch the guy that does that in the forehead.

6) How would you describe your sense of humour?

Dirty girl dirty. 

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

I've numerous scars on my knuckles.  They were achieved from teeth.  I sometimes cannot tolerate rude behavior.

8) Do you have a favourite article of clothing that you absolutely refuse to give up?

I've a knit sweater that can resemble chain-mail at distance which I refer to as my Jedi sweater.  It's been mended a dozen times but still has holes and is literally falling apart.

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

One thing about living in Santa Carla I never could stomach... all the damn vampires. 

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

Lots of stuff I don't like but when it comes down to dislike verses death, figure I can eat just about anything.  Well, Charlie Sheen, covered in Vegemite.  I might pass on that.

Amy Steel

Who are you?:

Amy is probably best known in the horror community as 'Ginny' from 'Friday the 13th pt. 2.' She also works with an organization called 'Stand InBalance Equine Assisted Healing.'

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

What happened to Paul and why didn't you do Part 3? I don't know and I wish I had.

2) Have you ever had the pleasure of running into a wall, door, screen, window, or sliding door?

No, but I've seen it happen and I feel bad for laughing. I also saw someone fall off a balcony once. I might have laughed then too (intoxicated) but it led to his getting sober so I guess Humpty Dumpty was put back together again without of all the kings horses and all the kings men.

3) Do you do anything special to celebrate Halloween? If so, what?

My husband makes killer chili and we eat it with crusty bread and good friends and lots of wine to put out the fire. Oh, and we give good candy. No gummy worms with tongs or shiny but bruised apples from our door.

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

PATIENCE! And failure is how the Universe weeds out the dead ends. And, Gossip kills by boomerang.

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

About 15 years ago I ran over a pigeon in Hollywood. I can still feel the bump in the front tires, the bump in the back tires and then death coming up through the steering wheel. Creeps me out every time I think about it.

6) Is there a number or specific time of day that haunts you on a daily basis?

Morning. I open my eyes and feel like Bob Fosse, "Showtime!" and get anxious about what I should-will-attempt-need-to-accomplish for the day to be labeled 'productive' which always feels good but of course doesn't always happen. But I'm 5 days without coffee so maybe things will get better.

7) Do you get pissed off or do you get even?

Both. But only in situations I think are ridiculously unfair. Truthfully, I find it's never really worth it, since the thing that pissed me off isn't really what I'm mad about. Now that's interesting.

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

Exorcist and French Connection. Drugs and religion make chainsaws or hatchets look like tinker toys.

9) If you were being chased by a bear, would you totally trip your friend to get away?

No. Well, how close a friend? I was walking with someone the other day I would have sautéed, flambéed and put on a silver platter for the first bear that came along. Hell, a cockroach would've been a relief at one point.

10) What's the oddest thing a fan has ever brought as a gift for you, or for you to sign?

Signing my face tattooed on a woman's leg was surreal. Best gift was an assortment of dark beer ;)

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

Shame is a show stopper, a heart stopper, and stops up life. It also lives too deep to scare out or cut out like they do in horror films... Since I'm a therapist/counselor who likes to works with shame and it's toxic waste, I want to start a 'skype-like' counseling service for people who are ready to do things that matter for themselves and the planet-- before either burns up. Who's in?


Words from me: I dunno what the hell that wink's all about at the end of number 10. Trying to get us all in trouble for sneaking contraband into the conventions. Sheesh! I'm on a personal mission to have her puke sprinkles, too, by the way. I will win.

R.A. Mihailoff

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

1. Honey, can I have your credit card? - Hell No!
2. Did I really kill anybody making TCM3? - Duh, NO...If I had, I'd be doing the San Quentin Shuffle!

2) Is there a store you would be completely lost without?

Yes...my local supermarket, because I prefer to eat fresh food, so I shop several times week.

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

It's something I didn't have as a kid - the over saturation of media and electronic gadgetry. Because, when I was a kid, without that stuff it allowed me to develop a very vivid imagination.

4) Do you think it's ridiculous to have a 'speed dial' feature on a cell phone?

I did not know cell phones had a speed dial.

5) Ever have stalker issues?

Yes, I have, ironically it had absolutely nothing to do with being a celebrity.

6) Can you type without looking at the keyboard?

Seriously? Why do you think we're doing this interview over the phone?

7) Ever accidentally punch yourself in the face?

Rhetorical question: am I disfigured?

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

I'm a hardcore skeptic, though I'm willing to believe with proof.

9) Would you consider yourself to be superstitious?

In certain ways, yes. In other ways, absolutely not.

10) Star Wars or Star Trek?

STAR TREK! (I watched the original network broadcast and at one point in my life, I used to watch Star Trek 11 times a week- and, that was before cable TV).

Words from me: R.A. totally won ultimate cool points for 'Star Trek.' And, even more awesome points for it being the Original Series. Oh, and, if any of you missed the 'Ghost Adventures' episode for the Pico House investigation- R.A. is part of the Hollywood Ghost Hunters, as well. HGH!

Nick Principe

Who are you?:

Nick Principe...actor/stuntman

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

"how tall are you?"....and two "are you're parents tall?" its like are you writing a fucking report on my genetics? my family history of tallness?

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

any musical ever...hate me all you want but i think Nightmare before christmas and sweeny Todd would have been waaaay better without the singing....not that either of those are my worst film...i just HATE musicals

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

my folks where always straight forward...almost too brutally honest, but besides the lie that is santa, i would say my mom always said "good things always happen to good people"....i find that to be bullshit for the most part...sure it happens...but cutthroats and assholes are pretty much holding the steering wheel. and we're all in the back seat with no saftey belt.

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

fuck yeah.....i saw Cars 2 by myself like two weeks ago. ha...to quote ol mom again she claims "i dont care ENOUGH about what other people think"...i used to be proud of that...but at 32 i cant help but think my career would be a lil further if i would have just shut my mouth a bit more.....but hey, fuck regret...i dont have time for it.

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

ALL lessons are hard...or they wouldnt be lessons...theyd be experiences ...i ALWAYS learn the hard way...because as cliche as it sounds..its the only way ive ever known

6) Any phobias?

when i was a kid lou Ferigno as the Hulk used to scare the fuck out of me... i dont know why...well i do know why actually...he was ugly as hell and green. also as a kid dead bodies in movies with their eyes still open fucked with me...but after seeing more than a few real dead bodies..... that went away quick.

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

id LOVE...i mean FUCKING LOVE to see a ghost...thats why it wont happen to me...doesnt seem to work that way...on some REALLY creepy locations ive felt cold areas...and just felt like something horrible happened here, so i guess yes. aliens ...fuck i hope so...there better be smarter life out there than
us...but at the sametime i hope its like peaceful ET like aliens....id like to PLAY the Predator...not fight him, and im dumb ill pretty much fight anybody...but thats an anyTHING...differnt subject matter all together i suppose

8) Are you one of those people my mother warned me about?

what did she warn you about ? i doubt it, i live a rightous life id like to think...but im also human and fuck up like everyone else...one of the last things my dad said to me before he passed away was "be carefull...theres alot of loonys on the road to...forget it..you're probally the looniest" is looniest even a word...well it should be.

9) Do you still watch the news or have you given up on it?

if i can ill try and watch all three stations at once...and if they all run the same story you can piece together what may have really happened...cuz if youll notice...they NEVER all give the same report..some have more or less details...THEN i love to watch jon Stewart tear the news apart...and commonly give the most sound and realistic commentary on the world. having traveled a fair bit...its crazy to see first hand what people think about how our country is run...or lived in per say...they think its jerry springer pro wrestling and reality tv....which for the most part...is sad but true...its like we live behind a two way mirror....EVERYONE sees in...but only a handful of us get to see out.

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

Crown Royal splash of coke....or a shot of jack. and i thank you ahead of time

Mike Christopher

Who are you?:  

I'm the Hare Krishna Zombie DAMMIT!


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

I am not sick of answering any question. Dawn of the Dead fans are the best and deserve a personal answer to any question. . . no matter what.

2) What celebrity (that you have no ties with) would you blink out of existence if you could? Why?

Hulk Hogan. Why? are you kidding?

3) The longest amount of time you've ever stayed awake?

4 days. While putting a laser system in the Imperial Palace in Las Vegas in 4 days I got 4 hours sleep on a table top.

4) If the first commercial flight to the moon was a free ticket to you, would you go?

Sure. I'd love to save a brazillion dollars.

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

Florida . . . too much sun, too many bugs, and too many idiots.

6) Thoughts on parents blaming ALL media when their kids fuck up?

Kids are monsters . . . parents can blame whomever they want.

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

The saddest stories are about "Depleted Uranium Babies" in the Middle East and the "U.S.S. Liberty."    Look them up.

8)  The Internet - blessing or a curse?

Blessing. I can surf the net in bed on my phone . . . I have a weather radar in my pocket. "Is that a radar in your pocket or are you just happy to see me?"

9) Ever actually *facepalm* or *headdesk* before? 

*facebook*

Richard John Walters

Who are you?:

I'm an attorney that dances Argentine Tango and belongs to the American Equity Association and Screen Actor's Guild. My claim to fame as an actor is that I played the original killer, Harry Warden, in My Bloody Valentine 3D.

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

How's it going? "Oh, I'm good." What's new?" Oh, not much, blah, blah blah.

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

Speeding on the Pennsylvania Turnpike.

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

Well, this year I turn 50, so I am going to do something, probably go to somewhere in Asia and try to get laid. Otherwise, I normally try to get a woman to go out with me for dinner.  But I never get laid on my birthday.  I am now at the point where celebrating the fact that I am getting older seems to be a waste of my time.

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

Santa Clause.

5) Do you think it's ridiculous to have a 'speed dial' feature on a cell phone? 

Yeah, I still haven't figured out how to use one.

6) If you closest friend killed someone, would you help bury the body? 

Fuck no, I'm a lawyer, and have him turn himself in. Stupid fuck.

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

 I would make it a necessary part of citizenship that you spend time in an overseas country, and the you pay for this month sojourn yourself. No help form Mommy and Daddy.  This way you would learn that the world is not such a huge place, and that we are all in this together, and we better work together to make the world a better place.

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

Big "C" in rugby, because in my first game for the Pittsburgh Harlequins back in August of 1987, I was playing prop and I was so tired I faked an injury to get off the field.  The ref then blew the whistle to end the game after one more scrumdown.  I told my player/coach, Kevin Carhart, a former member of Her Majesties Special Air Services and Welsh International player, that I was sorry and that "they" should stamp a big "C" on my forehead. And the "C" did not stand for coach.  He wasn't good with names, and this one stuck to me, because he could only remember Big"C".  So now, years later, in addition to rugby players, even some lawyers call me Big "C".  Ridiculous.

9) If you could only give one piece of advice on how to prepare for the Zombie Apocalypse, what would it be?

Lots of breadfast burritos, and then you can fart and repell the Zombies.  Just garlic to a vampire, the pungent odor of the breakfast burrito induced fart will keep any zombie away.

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

I bet John Carpenter is a little odd, while George Lucas is probably arrogant.  I would be that Carpenter shoots his mouth off, Lucas snaps and then Carpenter sucker punches him.  Then I bet Carpenter finishes Luscas off by throwing a hot breakfast burrito from Kraft services at him.

Circus Envy

Who are you?:

Circus Envy; horror host, scary clown, Snicker's consumer, self-proclaimed Mama's boy and vindicator of the underdog.

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

Who are you supposed to be, IT? For one, the character's name is Pennywise and Ray Charles could see the vast differences, baring the pointed teeth.

Do you condone recreational drug use? No, kids should not do drugs... especially mine!

2) What celebrity (that you have no ties with) would you blink out of existence if you could? Why?

Judge Judy - she's such a douche, if she were featured in a snuff film I'd consider it a comedy. Oh, and don't forget Reverend Phelps, everyone's favorite nut job.

3) If you were on Death Row, what would it be for and what would your last meal be?

Avenging abused animals or children or enforcing capital punishment on those that refuse to practice reasonable cell phone etiquette. My last meal... a Percocet smoothie with Xanex sprinkles to take the edge off.

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

I believe you reap what you sew but a good machatte is always helpful in speeding along the process.

5) What are your thoughts on conspiracy theorists?

In this day and age, I have no idea what to believe. I am as politically ambiguous as they come and hold religiously to my personally philosophy, which is basically "fuck it".

6) 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?'

Funny you should ask, they know me on a first name basis at The Clermont... a club known for it's unconventional strippers. I want to see a girl with psoriasis wrestling a live gator and the gator be the one with better skin!

Truly, I believe a person's quirks can sometimes be their greatest charm.

7) If you could only give one piece of advice on how to prepare for the Zombie Apocalypse, what would it be?

Take enough Xanex blend right in. My friend Candi is always fretting about zombies, but I console her by saying "what you worried about bitch? They only eat brains."

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

my day job is so frustrating and I am constantly on-call. My friends and neighbors think I suffer Tourette syndrome!

9) What's the most awkward question you can remember being asked by a fan or interviewer?

My most embarrassing moment as Circus Envy was when my fang appliance came unhinged and landed on stage with Unknown Hinson. I lunged forward to retrieve them and my friends thought I had fainted. Oh, and the time Kane Hodder and others filmed me drunkenly dry-humping everyone on the dance floor at the Scarefest VIP party. Then my friend's kid remixed it to Can't Sleep Clowns Will Eat Me and posted all over the internet. Luckily I don't blush easily... if I did you'd never see it through the clown makeup.

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

I still own a Debbie Gibson CD... yeah, that's pretty embarrassing.

My guiltiest pleasure would be watching home decorating shows when I go to my Mom's house to visit. I'm like another Norman Bates just waiting to happen!

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

Tofurkey - I am open to meat alternatives but this is one that needs to go back to the drawing board. Even the name is awkward and somehow makes me want to take a hot shower. It tastes like a cross between soggy cardboard and seasoned scrotum. I am also not a fan of pork. I was fanatical about Miss Piggy growing up and stopped eating it around age seven. I refuse to participate in anything pertaining to pork unless it used in context as a verb. I would use this in a sentence but I think you got the idea. lol.

Words from me: I've known Lezlie for about a year and she's, by far, one of the funnest people to hang out with - without being one of those overwhelming kinds of personalities. And, yes, you should check out the band- and, if possible, catch them at a live show. DEFINITELY worth seeing them perform.

6) If you could have a love scene with any celebrity- who would it be?

Heather Locklear, if she would remove the restraining order.

The root of all evil? Bikini bottoms.

Words from me: I've known Rick for....I don't even remember for how long. Feels like forever (in a good way). He's one of those 'too nice' people, too, but he thinks he's mean. Pfft. Also, one those awesome story tellers, has a lot of one-liners, jokes and awkward sentences. One of the very very few people that I actually don't mind talking to on the phone (talking on the phone is the bane of my existence).
