Victor Miller

Who are you?:

I am a 71 year old sorta retired writer, a husband of almost 50 years to a saint , a father of two grown men of whom I am incredibly proud, a father-in-law of two fabulous daughters-in-law and one outlandishly wonderful grandson.   Nobody on this planet has it better than I do and I can tell you in no way do I deserve a tenth of what i have lucked into.

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

How did you come up with the idea for FRIDAY THE 13TH? (I will not dignify your blog by typing my reply to that question. It can be found almost anywhere else.)

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

I have had the unquestionable delight of running into all of the above by accident or on purpose. When I drank alcohol, anything was possible and some crashes I can actually recall.

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

I was a canvasser for an aluminum awning company in New Haven, CT. I went door to door pretending to be taking surveys when really i was supposed to be getting appointments for salesmen to talk folks into buying these awful looking awnings. I sucked. It sucked. They sucked. I was totally ashamed.

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

It's hard to say. I would probably spend at least a year sure that there was at least one other person left and I'd have to find her. If I trip over a pile of manure, I almost always look for the pony underneath.

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

Betsy Palmer. Because she understands protecting her offspring.

6. The Internet - blessing or a curse?

Blessing and curse. I am really good at it. Many are not, sadly.

7. Ever actually *facepalm* or *headdesk* before?

Oh, yes.

8. Do you talk to your pets as if they're human? Do they understand or talk back?

Yes and no. I also speak gibberish to them and they appear to understand that as well. But they never speak back.

9. Rollercoasters - are you just a line buddy or a coaster warrior?

I won't get within a half mile of one. Total chicken.

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

Inside of right wrist. At age 4 I chased the neighborhood bully who stole one of my toys. I tripped in a vacant lot and cut my wrist on a broken beer bottle. It cut the tendon to my thumb. 1944 operation took 6 hours. My thumb works fine, but the scar looks like a pale doodlebug and reminds me that bullies really really hurt.

Thanks for a fun interview.

 

Ari Lehman

Who are you?:

Greetings from CAMP CRYSTAL LAKE!!! I am Ari Lehman, the First Jason
Voorhees, from "FRIDAY THE 13TH" (1980).

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

When you filmed the final scene of "FRIDAY THE 13TH" was the water cold?

The answser: No.

How could you have played Jason Voorhees if you are so short?

The answer: If I was any taller I would not have been asked to play Jason
Voorhees, since in the first film (1980), he was still a little boy.

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

A bottle of real Absinthe.

In Germany, I was asked to autograph a bottle of homemade Plum Schnapps!

Also bottles of sand and water from the real Crystal Lake in New Jersey.


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

NEVER! I would trip the bear...


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

Wild Turkey 101, Laird's Apple Brandy 100, Eau De Vie, Calvados...


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

Neither. I just sing songs about JASON VOORHEES...


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

Speeding.


7) If you had the opportunity to play with ANY band/musician in the world,
who would it be and why?

To go back in time and play with Frank Zappa... Because it was the most
amazingly creative and disciplined band that Rock Music has ever heard!

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

My politics are generally considered incorrect. Except by radical monsters.

9) Boxers, tighty whities, or commando?

Designer black briefs, or commando.

10) Do you have any now-useless keys still on your keyring?

Not at the moment.

Produecd by EYEROMP FILMS the Video will be online before Halloween 2011.

Many Thanks to Angela and Wickedbeard!!! JASON NEVER DIES!!!


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.

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.
