Jack Brooks: Monster Slayer: Director Jon Knautz "Trev and I were up at his cottage doing some brainstorming. After a few beers we came up with this idea of a giant tentacle monster attacking people. We started laughing and then just kinda ran with it." By: Mr Disgusting
Guts: Author Tim Palen Spills 'Em All... "Designing a campaign for any movie is such a daunting task... But for the posters, they are a flat pieces of art that can’t talk back. I run into problems with lots of filmmakers, they want the posters to be the entire essence of the two hours movie" By: Paula Burr
The Rage: Director Robert 'Maddog' Kurtzman "John and I are huge fans of drive in films and the whole audience participation experience. We wanted to make our drive in film… A gorilla style rocket ride that embraced all the B-movie qualities of low budget movies we’d grown up on." By: Paula Burr
All the Boys Love Mandy Lane: Writer Jacob Forman "Oddly enough, the idea for the character MANDY LANE didn't come from a horror film: it came from The Last Picture Show. Specifically, it came from the moment when Jacy (Cybill Shepherd) gets up on the diving board at the rich kids' pool party and courageously decides to strip down and join them in the water." By: Mr Disgusting
Joshua: Director George Ratliff Talks Creepy Kids "Actually, I think that’s dangerous [comparing it to The Omen]. If people go in there wanting to see a possessed kid movie, it’s not going to happen. I think it’s much scarier that it’s real, you know?" By: Slice
Death Sentence: James Wan and Kevin Bacon! "James is incredibly confident; a real visionary director. When I do a film, I put myself in somebody’s hands, and that can be frightening if they don’t have a strong vision of what they want to do. But James has that strength and is very collaborative..." By: BC
Trick 'r Treat Set: Writer-Director Michael Dougherty "We shot Dylan and Bret Kelly who plays the local bully named Charlie, just having a conversation on the front porch and Charlie ends up puking until he’s dead. It was the most memorable because it was day one and I was nervous as hell" By: Slice
Trick 'r Treat Set: Star Dylan Baker Talks to B-D! "I read the script, Michael had sent it to me and a letter talking about himself and a CD with some of his graphic work and I just fell in love with it. I thought it was a great idea and I loved the sort of cyclical nature of the script and the way it interweaves the stories." By: Slice
Trick 'r Treat Set: Production Designer Mark Freeborn "How many times am I going to get to do an abandoned quarry with ghouls and goblins at the bottom? Maybe once. I come from a dark place and Michael comes from a dark place, we really saw eye to eye." By: Slice
Believers: On Set With Star Johnny Messner "I know that they have been planning, Shaun and Daniel have been doing a lot behind the scenes and filming by themselves on their own and so they are going to do a lot of internet promotion, like Blair Witch, of course they aren’t gonna have the budget to do it on television like Blair Witch, but Blair Witch is probably the most genius marketing campaign ever." By: Hunter Daniels
Believers: On Set With Director Daniel Myrick "I think that different movies and different films lend themselves to that kind of mythology building, it depends on the film. And my philosophy has always been if you are going to do an internet campaign, or mythology building, it should feel like its not coming from Corporate America, it should feel like it is something that is sincere and organic..." By: Hunter Daniels
I Know Who Killed Me: Writer Jeff Hammond "One day Jennifer phoned asking me to look at a DVD of a new movie called “The Lost” to see what I thought of the director, a guy I’d never heard of called Chris Sivertson. From the opening shot, he had me." By: Mr. Disgusting
Halloween: B-D Chats With Star Kristina Klebe! "The great thing about the girls is that we’re all kind of tom-boyish; so we all got along well and didn’t have any catty stuff going on. Cause I f-cking hate that shit. =) Are we allowed to swear here?" By: Mr Disgusting
The Fearmakers Collection: John McCarty "All of them loved talking about their own work and the work of others they admired, and were engaging – as well as engaged – by the fact that someone (in this case me) was interested in their work and knew it." By: Ryan Daley
The Poughkeepsie Tapes: Writer/Director John Dowdle " 'The Poughkeepsie Tapes' is a faux documentary about a serial killer’s home video collection. It mixes interviews analyzing sections of the tapes intercut with brutal, horrifying footage from the tapes themselves." By: Mr Disgusting
Phantasm: Icon Writer/Director Don Coscarelli "Anchor Bay has done a terrific job with our films. The documentary featurettes give fans an opportunity to really get to know the fantastic Phantasm cast. The best thing about the Phantasm films is that I’ve made life-long friendships with the cast. I see and stay in touch with all of them on a regular basis." By: Elaine Lamkin
Halloween: On Set With Director Rob Zombie! "The only thing that’s going to win them over is if the movie’s good. What else can you do, right? I mean that’s all you can do; that’s the only thing that’s going to win someone over." By: MrDisgusting
Halloween: On Set w/ Scout Taylor-Compton (Laurie Strode) "Jamie was definitely a lot older than I was. I'm 18, my real age and she was a little bit more conservative and a little bit more shy behind the scenes especially with her friends and she would be just really to herself and now I think that character blends a lot more with my friends." By: MrDisgusting
Cabin Fever 2/Sell The Dead: Multi-Talented Larry Fessenden "I guess I have been killed off in more than my fair share of films. The lobotomy pick in “Session 9”, by bats in “The Roost”, had my head blown off on “Third Watch”, thrown out a window in ”Habit”, attacked by rat-people in “Mulberry Street” and now, Ti’s going to kill me again in “Cabin Fever 2”." By: Elaine Lamkin
Behind The Mask: Star Angela Goethals Speaks to BD "Robert was actually only there a few days but the first time we all met, we had dinner and Robert picked up the tab. He talked for hours and just had everyone mesmerized. Scott was dreamy." By: Elaine Lamkin
The Reaping: On Set In Baton Rouge With David Morrissey "Yeah, a big thing for me in a cowardly way is that I have to go into a swamp at one point. I got there and it was fine and they all assured me that it was a special swamp that didn't have any water coming from outlets so it had chlorine in it. But then we have this big Australian guy that's like the wrangler and he came through there and said, "Look at this, mate." It was a snake..." By: Mr. Disgusting
The Reaping: On Set In Baton Rouge With Hilary Swank "I always identify with any character I play, there’s always some aspect you can relate to because of the humanness of the person. I think that were all in the life trying to to figure out what our lives are about, were all trying to find out way and questioning whether were on the right path," By: Mr. Disgusting
Roman: Producer and Star Lucky McKee! "MAY is the story of a lonely girl that descends into madness. ROMAN is a lonely guy that ascends out of madness. Both are tragedies of sorts. Plus they both have the same last name. So they are really long lost siblings. Kinda’ like me and Angela, except we were lucky enough to find each other and make some art together." By: Elaine Lamkin
The Hills Have Eyes 2: On Set With Star Daniella Alonso "I love horror films, making and watching them. It is so much fun getting covered in dirt and blood everyday. What a great job! I like how gory our film is, because it's done in an in your face and extreme sort of way. Once it starts it's nonstop till the end and that's what I liked about HHE2." By: Joe Hui
The Abandoned: Director Nacho Cerda "I really hate CGI. I hope filmmakers stop relying on it so much and go back to the old ways. The kitchen scene was 90% practical effects – the objects, shot in reverse, interacting with the actors." By: Elaine Lamkin
The Hills Have Eyes 2: Director Martin Weisz "There were some things going on… the producers were involved in the situation. The crew didn’t want to work anymore. They stopped working. They thought they were getting screwed. During the last week of shooting, the producers renegotiated and got things up and running again." By: Elaine Lamkin
Rest Stop/Wrong Turn 2: Composer Bear McCreary "Scoring horror versus scoring sci-fi…they are really more similar than different. You create something real out of something that’s unreal. Of course, with horror, you have all the “stingers” you can put in the right places." By: Elaine Lamkin
