Brian: Hell yeah!!!!

I love and respect you guys more than you could ever imagine!!!
Now get those tickets to Days of the Dead, Scarefest,Fanboy Expo and Dead Winter folks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Words from me:
First, I apologize for the traumatic text colours. I allowed Nick and Jeff to choose their own colours- and, that's what they chose. It's brutal, I know.
Second, you know why none of them put themselves at #1 in the burping contest? Cause that's MY spot and I'm damn proud of it. If you ever want to see Nick run, make a show of handing me a Monster energy drink. I've traumatized him. :) For life.

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.

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.

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.

 

Bobby Clark

Who are you?:

I'm Bobby Clark. I've been in the motion picture business for 50 years.

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

A. Being that the Gorn is my claim to fame, I get asked 'you were the Gorn?' a lot - Yes
B. It must have been hot in that suit. - Yes

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

I'd probably go to prison for kickin' someone's ass til their dead. But, I'd be very very choosy on who's ass it is.
Last meal: Steak.

3. Is there anything in your closet that you've borrowed from someone else?

No. I own everything in there.

4. Are there any foods that you would choose to starve rather than eat?

Bait (sushi).

5. What's the most ridiculous nickname anyone's ever given you?

Before the age of 10, I didn't know my real name, I thought it was 'Jesus Christ' and 'God Dammit.' Rick calls me 'Gorn.'

6. Do you relate to the majority of heroes or villains in stories?

Always the low man on the totem pole- whether it be a villain or a good guy. But, you gotta ask yourself  'what is it makes this person a villain?'

7. Would you ever pose naked for Playboy/Playgirl? How much money would it take?

As much money as I could, and yes I would!

8. Your favourite dirty phrase, without using swear words:

Git 'er done!

9. Favourite junk food that you'd refuse to ever give up- even if a diet or your health would suffer?

I like cookies. I like potato chips.

10. Do you sing in the shower/bathroom?

Sure!

Shameless self promotion/shout outs/any last words:

Attend sci-fi cons to come see me. You don't have to be a weirdo to be a sci-fi fan. Shatner said in his book 'get a life!' Well, these people have a life. And, they have a rough life. These people work jobs, have marriages and families and still manage all of that on top of being a fan. These people spend their hard-earned money on the things they know they like. And, I just have to say: God bless every fan out there, whatever they're a fan of.

Words from me:
This was only the second one I had ever done over the phone (R.A. Mihailoff being the first). Also, it was the first time I'd spoken to Bobby in any way. I'm a little awkward when it comes to new phone conversation buddies. LOL Doing this over the phone was necessary for multiple reasons- Bobby doesn't really have much to do with computers (he doesn't have an official site or social networking page) and he is, also, currently recovering from a heart surgery. I felt terrible bothering him during recovery time for something as silly as The Negative, but he didn't seem to mind it much at all. Bobby was a pleasure to get to know. And, I'd recommend paying him a visit if you happen to be attending a convention that he's at. He told me a few fascinating little stories, snippets of his life- and, he's lived an interesting one, indeed. He's a good guy......even if he IS friends with Rick McCallum. :-p But, in all seriousness, I do owe Rick a lot of thanks- he's been an irreplaceable friend and help with this site in many ways. Anyway, if you're one of my con-promoter friends and you're interested in having Bobby at a con- he has given me permission to give his contact information to trusted people in regards to attendances, so just get in contact with me via the e-mail listed on this site, or one of the other various ways that I'm sure you are in contact with me. Bobby IS an icon of not only 'Star Trek' but of the American television culture- even if it wasn't done, necessarily, on purpose- everyone knows the iconic picture of Kirk struggling with the Gorn.

Larry Laverty

Who are you?:

I'm actor Larry Laverty.  I had a corporate career all set up. But bad behavior by the snot-nosed
punks who run corporate America turned me off.  So I said 'F' this, and gave acting a try.  At first,
I did plays and musicals.  Then came acting school.  I got with a talent agent, tried movies,
and found my place in this God forsaken world.  Twenty years have gone by in the blink of an eye.  I've played lead or supporting roles in over 100 films, appeared in over a dozen television shows and countless Tv commercials.  But I'd trade it all, trade it in if I could play God for just one day and rub out all of the world's bad guys and turn dominion over this earth to the dolphins and the whales.

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

Q:  What have you been in?
A:  This implies to me that you spend your valuable time watching top-rated dumb-ass Tv shows, and feel good about dropping a chunk of change at the local Metroplex on hyped-up movies starring hyped-up actors.  Well, I'm sorry, but I left the herd a long time ago and prefer not to
have my life evaluated by who I did what with.
Q: What famous people have you worked with?
A:  Well, guess what, I'm famous.  And you're famous.  Or I thought you were famous, until you
gave away the fact that you worship celebrities.  Does the term 'false-god' mean anything to you?

2. What trend in recently-made films are you sick of seeing?

Uh, that would be plural. Trends.  But of course, today's trends actually got started
about a hundred years ago when the first person figured out he could make a buck off
of showing his movie to other people.  Then as today, audiences get pissed off
when they fork over good money to watch a movie they can't understand, or when they
have to follow homey-looking actors around on the screen for two hours and pretend to care
about it.  While I believe there's probably a small hand full of good movies that come out each year,  I miss them because I refuse to go to the Metroplexes at all.  If you see me there, send me
home or call 911, I may have a bomb.

3. Are you OCD about anything?

I like doing all I can to make the movies I'm in be the best they can be.  I go over the script
hundreds of times, I bother the directors with my ideas for camera set-ups and lighting.  And
outside of my career, and known only to my priest, I pick up litter all around my neighborhood
and in wilderness places.  If I see a stray animal, I try to save it.

4. What do you consider to be the root of all evil?

Like a tree, humanity has many roots, and consequently there are many roots at risk from
rot, rot that's brought on by forces of evil.
Idealists and those prone to naivete know very little about the evil in this world, but I unfortunately
can say that I fall into neither of those classifications.  We human beings while possessing
great strength both physically and intellectually, have a long way to go as we live up to
the potential strength of our spirits to do good in this world.  This is why I suggest, based
on the incredible documentary films I've seen and news I've read, that dolphins and whales
would be far better shepherds of life on this planet.

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

I grew up with the most gentle, thoughtful parents in the world.  I was a Boy Scout, an Eagle Scout ta'boot, so I constantly reign myself in when it comes to cussing.  But by God, in my
head and under my breath, I can't go anywhere in public without cussing.  What happened
to humanity, at least here in the big city?  Were we always so stupid?  So selfish?

6. If you could only give one piece of advice on how to prepare for the zombie apocolypse,
what would it be?

It's too f-ing late.  It's already happened.  I see signs of it everywhere.

7. What was the last traffic ticket you received for?

Not wearing my seatbelt.  To this day, the law requiring seatbelts pisses me off.
If I was prone to accidents or drove recklessly, I'd wear my belt for sure but I'm neither.
I'm always watching for the madman, the blind person, or the people new to this planet
in order to avoid accidents.  Don't tell me when to wear a seatbelt and I won't tell you
when you to have sex next.

8. Do you consider yourself more of a country person or a city person?

I'm a country person living in the big city.  I say hi to everyone, I care about my neighbors,
and I don't like feeling fenced in.  Oh, and I often wear a cowboy hat when grocery shopping
or going to the post office.  I'd go skinny dipping in the lake downtown but the cops would
be on my ass in a heartbeat.

9. Do you consider yourself to be a brand-name shopper?

Branding is as American as apple pie.  Tell me the last time you were able to buy something
that wasn't a brand name or made in China. It's almost impossible.  I always look for home-
made products, products made in the good 'ol U.S. of A., and products that aren't nationally branded but with each passing day the name brands send more little guys packing.

10. An estimate of how many words you know for 'vagina'?

I know of one.  Heaven.  I often give thanks to the man upstairs for making men and women
physically different, and different in such a way as we can plug in to one another as an
expression of love.  A vagina, it's the next best thing to heaven I can think of.

Shameless self promotion/shout outs/any last words:

And finally, life is funny.  I wish it was the kind of funny all the time that makes people
laugh, but whether it's funny ha-ha or funny strange, we're on our toes while we're here
and I like that.  I like challenges.  I'm grateful that I have the desire to take on this career
of mine and for all the people I've met and will meet along the way.  I wish success for
you just as much as I wish it for me.  That way, we'll all be happy.

Alex Vincent

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

Definitely the number one question I'm asked is if the movie gave me nightmares... it didn't, it was very fake. I often say, when the director said cut, Chucky stopped trying to kill me. 2nd most common would be, did you get to keep a Chucky doll. My response to that is usually always, no..but if I had, I would have sold it on ebay a long time ago!

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

That's a tough one, there are plenty of people that have become famous undeservingly, and are worshiped...also undeservingly. I"m not so sure I'd blink any of the out of existence, but certainly click them off my tv at the quickest opportunity! As of lately... Randy Jackson would be one. I just can't stand him! I've never heard of someone with such questionable talent and fame himself, with that much of an ego.

3: What is something that completely grosses you out?

Possums! I love animals, but not them. Every time I see one I cringe.

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

On the spelling options, or the concept? I believe we make our own good and bad fortune. Karma has always seemed a bit of a cop out. I do agree with doing on to others, as you'd like done to you... but "Karma" adapts a magical undertone, that I really don't agree with.

5: Ever have stalker issues?

Nothing too serious... mostly only as a result of facebook, or previously myspace. Nothing threatening, or in person.

6: A phrase/word that is/was ever trendy, that drove you insane?

I"m confused as to why no one before 2000ish was being thrown under a bus... and now everyone "throws people under the bus"!

7: Can you type without looking at the keyboard?

Yup.

8: Pornos - exciting or monotonous?

Potentially exciting, depends who's doing what with who!

9: Star Wars or Star Trek?

Neither... I can't stand SciFi.

10: Have you ever lost anything important down a toilet?

Oh, I lose shit down there all the time. Not sure how important any of it is.

Sean Whalen

Who are you?:

I'm a character actor, writer, husband, father, salesman, and a dork. I've been kicking around Hollywood riding the ups and downs of this crazy business.

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

" Are you the guy from Con Air or Spy Kids?" I get confused for Steve Buscemi a lot. A close second is "Got Milk?" From the milk commercial I did years ago.

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

I hate being ignored. Not returning phone calls, not answering when you ask a question, never answering emails. We're all guilty of it, but I try to teach my kids that ignoring someone is one of the meanest things you can do to someone.

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

A few... AFRICA by TOTO. LAND DOWN UNDER...by Men at Work... and the worst.. FRIDAYS by Rebecca Black... the words are shockingly bad, but that chorus is just too damn catchy. Don't hate.

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

Wow.. about 15 minutes. I was just thinking this the other day when I was in a crowded room. Everyone was doing something on their phones. Everyone.

5. How do you feel about grammar?

Its not that important the us world any much more.

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

My mom used to say how handsome I was. Believe me, Hollywood lets you know pretty quick that you are "quirky" and "not good looking enough". It's harsh, but at least you know how to sell what your selling... yourself.

7. Do you still watch kids movies- without any kids around?

No. Had enough when my kids were little.

8. 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?'

Who wouldn't?

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

That there is no "easier time". You are always facing a new challenge. My grandmother had to deal with losing her husband at 80. You get periods of skating through, but they don't last forever.

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

If it's a beer - Hefeweizen or BLUE MOON. Mixed Drink: - Red Bull and Vodka... if I want to keep the party going.... or Gin and Tonic...for the casual hang.

Who are you?:

 

I am an indie actress from the east cost!  I have done a ton of film and theatre work you can check Raine Brown on IMDB! 

Go to my official site www.rainebrown.com for all the info! 

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

 

What's my favorite film I've worked on and What's your favorite horror film I've watched. 

Na!!! not going to do it again.... especially since I am asking myself! You all are just going to have to find any other interview i did and look  at the answer there! :) 

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

 

OMG Target or Tarjhey as we call it!  It has everthing for my house and food and entertainment.  Only thing it doesn't sell is cars and maybe they will soon! :)  I expect  kick back sent to me for free advertising!! haha!

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

 

Haha .. I don't want to date myself.  But I think really long phone conversions with your HS boyfriend.  Now everyone just text constantly and those were really sweet and fun. It was a great way to get to know each other especially giving you some private time when you were not allowed to be alone with a boy yet!!!

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

 

Wow!  I would get close to the million mark but then get stumped on a stupid question about cheese and then have used all my lifelines so have to leave with my big check!!

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

 

Na!  Well maybe! I don't think on it a lot cuz who can know for sure. All I know is that I really don't know all that there is so who knows!  It creeps me really think of it!   

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

 

Usually window.  I like to look out at the sky and clouds during the day and the lights as night. 

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

about 15.  I think my B/F would know more. He is way more into them.  

8) Favourite junk food that you'd refuse to ever give up- even if a diet or your health would suffer?

 

Chocolate! I eat it everyday no matter what.  I am so addicted to it. I have heard that chocolate activates the same parts of your brain as pot... without the getting high part, but it does make me feel really good and relaxed.  Now it is being said that it is good for you anyway.... so there! 

9) What holiday do you consider to be the most useless?

 

President's day??? April Fools!  :)

10) In a burping contest with only 2 other people, where would you rank? 1st, 2nd, or 3rd?

 

Def. 1st! I have a demonic crazy possessed burp.  I am a tiny girl and I am not quite sure where it comes from but it is quite an amazing sound!  I actually need to  record it so it can be an effect for one of my films!! 

Shameless self promotion/shout outs/any last words:

 

Yes! Look for Gallery of Fear and I Heart U  and hopefully Game Over coming out on DVD some time this year!

Oh, and I am a horrible speller, this is your warning….

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

Who do you want to work with - normally I politely list a few people I would love to work with (sometimes actors, sometimes producers, sometimes directors). Even though the answer is ever changing its still all true.  However I could never give a complete list since it is just too long!
But heres a little secret from me to you - I am an actor, so I want to work with EVERYONE and ANYONE that does good quality work and/or pays well. (sadly it sometimes is an either or situation…)
However recently I read Pearry Teo's latest script and it blew my mind so he and his business partner Chad Michael Ward are literally at the top of the list…. when you read as many scripts as I do an amazing script can be hard to find!

Whats your favorite horror film - I hate this question since its like asking a parent who their favorite child is. And like most parents it depends on the day that you ask me. If I have had a hard day at work and wanted to zone out with a favorite torture porn flick then Saw or Hostel would jump to the list. If I had an easy day at work and wanted to pay close attention to an intellectually done horror film then Insidious would be tops on that list.
And sometimes I just need to kiss the butt of a certain film maker and then, guess what, their film tops that list….

2) Your best revenge plot (executed or just plotted):

When I was a child, the main phone in our home had a cord (yes, this was before cell phones) and was near a bathroom. So when my friends would call I was chat with them while hanging out in the bathroom.  I never got along well with my brother so I would use his toothbrush to clean the bathroom (yes - all the bathroom) while chatting on the phone.
I have never told him about this before…
So surprise Ryan : )
I am sure that as an adult I could come up with something far more vicious…..luckily I have not been encouraged as yet to do so :  )

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

Coupons! I am a coupon cutting fanatic : ) Or at least I was when I lived in the midwest. I have not had much time to get a grasp on the coupon scene in LA yet.
(confession - I organize them using a 3 binder system - each binder organized by product…)
I actually miss it….it was so much fun!

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

I have a 2 1/2" long thin scar on the inside front of my thigh.  Halloween 2009 I was dressed as Jem (my favorite 80's cartoon) and my friends and I wound up at this random bar in Columbus, Ohio. I had always wanted to ride a mechanical bull, so when I saw that they had one set up I was really excited. Sadly they make you take off your shoes when you ride those things - apparently its a danger to have them on since they could harm you or someone else (upsetting though since they really completed my outfit!). When I went up I was determined to not fall off.  So I used every single muscle I had and held on tight, and I stayed on the entire time. By the time the operator stopped it, I was on a 90 degree angle with the ground (but it still counts) and had to let myself drop since there was no other way off. I knew that my leg had gone under part of the bull, but it was not until I was standing that I realized I had sliced open my thigh and there was a lot of blood. Luckily, thanks to my background working on horror films, I was not bothered by it and just tried to stop the bleeding so I could go back to dancing!

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

I am the COASTER QUEEN! I love them. I have to bring several friends with me to amusement parks since I usually wear out a few of them!

6) Pornos - exciting or monotonous?

Depends on the porno ; )
And who you are watching it with, where you are watching it and why.

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

Honestly I have never visited anywhere that was a bad place. I have visited places and found bad people there, but its not really fair to hold that against the location.
Keep in mind that as an actress my opinion is skewed since when I go to shoot somewhere the general population are usually excited and therefor I get treated very well.

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

Right now - lets see…
There is a certain female website hostess/blogger who is a bully towards certain people in the business (including myself). I am intentionally not saying her name since it would be wrong to give her any more press. I do not expect everyone to like me, in fact I would consider it an issue if everyone did but to pick on anyone or bully them is just wrong regardless of the level that you think that you are on.
People like that need to be knocked off the pedestals that they put themselves on and I would greatly enjoy being the one to do it!

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

I will never understand why some people can not accept their own faults and then make the conscious choice to improve them.
I do - its really not that hard. It saddens me when people who are not good parents lay blame elsewhere rather then fixing the issues and possibly improving their children's lives.
I think it is selfish.
My parents taught me right from wrong, and helped me to understand the consequences to my actions and I am every grateful for that.
Children need to be taught those things.


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

I have accidentally killed a possum and I was very sad about it. I was coming up over a hill and did not have a chance to swerve.
I cried and went back to see if he survived…sadly he did not.
I have actually ditched my car while swerving to miss a cat. True story. $900 in repairs later I was happy with my decision!
Years later I would swerve again to miss another cat, and hit a curb which resulted in the air bag deploying and the car being totaled…
So needless to say I try to not hit animals!

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!!

*Beeeeeeeeeeeeeep*

So, I know it's been a good while since I've made a post.
Apologies. Kind of. See what had happened was....


I ended up being bombarded by a host of things that usually tend to crop up toward the end of the year. Those normal things were accompanied by some new things. You don't need the details, trust me. It's a mess.

During this hiatus, I've been doing some thinking. Uh-oh, I know. We're lucky the apartment is still here. I'm a hazard.

Since this blog IS just for the silliness and for the fun of it- I'm going to do away with the scheduled posts. Partially due to lack of time to find new people willing to submit themselves to my insanity, and also a lot of people that say they will do questions but end up changing their minds for whatever reason. So, I'm going to post as I receive replies. It seems like the only logical thing to do, right? I think so. Plus, it has the benefits of removing a deadline- which, I'll be perfectly honest and say I am really looking forward to.

So, a new year and a new way of doing this blog o' craziness. Hopefully, it'll progress and become what I wanted it to be, originally. Completely new and different to the 'interview' community.

Til we meet again!
~Angela

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.

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.

Tuesday Knight

Who are you?:

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

What film are you most known for? (Nightmare 4)
Are you still friends with anyone on the set? (Yes)

:)

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

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

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

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.

Michael Cera... He says everything the same way and his delivery annoys me...

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

CREATURE with Sid Haig.... This film could have been cool.... It had the cash, it had good people..but the effects were really bad and the story just...wasn't there.... Could have been so much more..

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.

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.
