<v Speaker 3>podcast today. How are you doing today, sir?
<v Speaker 1>I'm doing well.
<v Speaker 2>I'm doing well. I cannot complain good good good.
<v Speaker 1>And you had an uneventful light here uh in your jeep? Wow?
<v Speaker 2>We yeah? Coming here in my tessel was fine. It
<v Speaker 2>was the flight from Philly to here, which was a
<v Speaker 2>little bit of a hassle.
<v Speaker 1>Yes, yeah, yeah.
<v Speaker 2>I got kicked off my first flight for some reason
<v Speaker 2>and then rebooked onto another flight. And it wasn't the
<v Speaker 2>flight left, it just they kicked me out of my seat.
<v Speaker 1>You should have been wearing pants.
<v Speaker 2>I should have.
<v Speaker 1>I mean, I'm telling you they notice, which Oh yeah, no,
<v Speaker 1>not that that's anyway.
<v Speaker 4>So you're saying they kicked at the clown off a plane, say,
<v Speaker 4>have you seen my films?
<v Speaker 2>Do you say what I do?
<v Speaker 1>I know?
<v Speaker 2>I could not believe it. It happened like the in
<v Speaker 2>the twenty minutes. I went from my hotel to the
<v Speaker 2>airport too, so it was like one minute my ticket
<v Speaker 2>was there. The next thing, I get to the airport
<v Speaker 2>and they're like, yeah, someone in Dallas at the corporate
<v Speaker 2>office removed you from the flight. I'm like, what, well,
<v Speaker 2>that's nice, thank you, so but I made it. That's
<v Speaker 2>a good thing. Well, your alter ego should pay them
<v Speaker 2>a visit. Oh, I was very tempered. I don't want
<v Speaker 2>to get barred from flies from now. Yeah, you'll pick
<v Speaker 2>your battles, that's true.
<v Speaker 1>Wow, fair enough, fair enough, Well you've you've definitely had
<v Speaker 1>a lot of battles, and my goodness, I mean I think,
<v Speaker 1>what what would you describe your how how would you
<v Speaker 1>describe your character? That is the question, and there a
<v Speaker 1>big audition for it. How do you how do you
<v Speaker 1>prep for that? Baby?
<v Speaker 2>Oh boy, that's a whole story in itself. But yeah,
<v Speaker 2>to describe the character, I kind of look at him
<v Speaker 2>as the bastard child of Harpo Marx and Freddy Krueger.
<v Speaker 1>Oh, well, that explains his good looks exactly.
<v Speaker 2>He's a handsome little devil.
<v Speaker 1>Wow, Groucho Marx and Freddy Krueger. Well, he does have
<v Speaker 1>that that sort of sense of humor there. I mean,
<v Speaker 1>like like with the Santa Claus routine that was and
<v Speaker 1>you got to work with Clint Howard. Oh, Clint's the best.
<v Speaker 1>Come on, I love that guy. You gotta love that guy.
<v Speaker 2>He cracks me like because the scene I did with
<v Speaker 2>him Bradley Striker and Daniel Roebick is my favorite scene
<v Speaker 2>I filmed so far in anything I've ever filmed. Oh yeah,
<v Speaker 2>that that week was pure magic. It was just we're
<v Speaker 2>just all playing and it's just wonderful. We had so
<v Speaker 2>much fun with each other.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah. I used to see Clint kind of lurking around
<v Speaker 1>around Burbank, and I remember the first time I saw him,
<v Speaker 1>I was like, oh God, this homeless guy really looks familiar.
<v Speaker 1>And then I realized, oh my god, it's Ron Howard's brother.
<v Speaker 1>Never mind, it's gentle man. It's like, oh my.
<v Speaker 2>God, are you doing?
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, but what a scream. You can't imagine that it
<v Speaker 1>was it would have as big an impact.
<v Speaker 2>Oh yeah, no, idea this was going to happen, right,
<v Speaker 2>this is out of left field. I'm like, because like,
<v Speaker 2>I auditioned for this way back in like twenty fifteen,
<v Speaker 2>had just come back from my last tour with How
<v Speaker 2>the Grinch Still Christmas the Musical. I was understudy to
<v Speaker 2>Stephen Carl who played Robbie Rotten on LazyTown. He was
<v Speaker 2>a branch. He was absolutely fantastic. Oh he taught me
<v Speaker 2>a lot. He was a master of physical comedy, and
<v Speaker 2>he really took me under his wing and gave me
<v Speaker 2>a good tutelage. So when I went in for this audition,
<v Speaker 2>I've been through a bunch of other callbacks for different
<v Speaker 2>Broadway tours and final callbacks and they all fell through
<v Speaker 2>for one reason. One literally came to a coin flip
<v Speaker 2>with Roger Rees. He couldn't decide between myself and other
<v Speaker 2>person for Peter and the starcatcher.
<v Speaker 1>Oh right.
<v Speaker 2>It was crazy and I was getting a little little annoyed.
<v Speaker 2>I guess he could say a little down. And I
<v Speaker 2>had never really done film work before. I always wanted
<v Speaker 2>to really break into it. And I came across this
<v Speaker 2>little audition for this small, low budget independent film called Terrifire,
<v Speaker 2>based on a horror film anthology that came out a
<v Speaker 2>few years before called All Hallis Eve. So I knew
<v Speaker 2>the character from that and I saw a lot of
<v Speaker 2>potential in him then, and I was like, well, I
<v Speaker 2>should audition for this. It would be a great way
<v Speaker 2>to finally get experience being on set, you know, get
<v Speaker 2>my feet wet that way, learn the lingo, get something
<v Speaker 2>good for a demo reel or something like that.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, that's for sure.
<v Speaker 2>And my agent fought me. She fought me on at
<v Speaker 2>one hundred. She's like, no, you don't need to be
<v Speaker 2>doing anything like this. This is not going to get
<v Speaker 2>you anywhere in life. Wow, No kidding, Yeah, no kidding.
<v Speaker 2>I was. I was very adam much for that. I
<v Speaker 2>know I'm not with that agent yet.
<v Speaker 4>You can kind of understand that mentality that in twenty fifteen,
<v Speaker 4>twenty sixteen, this light budget horror movie, you've sort of
<v Speaker 4>revived horror with this franchise.
<v Speaker 2>I feel like it, I guess. I mean, I don't
<v Speaker 2>feel it's my place to say anything like that. That
<v Speaker 2>sounds way too.
<v Speaker 1>To give it a jumpstart.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, maybe maybe I like to think we've like given
<v Speaker 2>the industry something to think about where to go forward,
<v Speaker 2>because I feel like recently, in the past decade or so,
<v Speaker 2>the industry has gotten very risk averse because they're making
<v Speaker 2>all these like one hundred and plus million dollar movies,
<v Speaker 2>so they don't want to take those risks anymore, right,
<v Speaker 2>And you know, you look back at the movies that
<v Speaker 2>were made, not just horror movies, just movies in general.
<v Speaker 2>Is back in the seventies and eighties, they weren't made
<v Speaker 2>for hundreds of millions of dollars. They're made for me,
<v Speaker 2>you know, millions or tens of millions, and that's about it.
<v Speaker 2>And so people weren't afraid of losing as much money,
<v Speaker 2>and so they could take those risks and try to
<v Speaker 2>innovate and do new things. And that's why I think
<v Speaker 2>we got lost from that for a while, and I'm
<v Speaker 2>hoping we have, you know, given this industry a little
<v Speaker 2>bit of a kick in the pants so they can
<v Speaker 2>realize we need to get back to just making movies again,
<v Speaker 2>making things that people want to watch and have fun
<v Speaker 2>with and give people the good theater experience again, right,
<v Speaker 2>Because that's what I've know ased people have really liked
<v Speaker 2>about our film, is they like to go see it
<v Speaker 2>in the theater because the audience Oh yeah, is very interactive.
<v Speaker 1>Oh god, yes, and yeah, you know, because when when
<v Speaker 1>you hear somebody week and you know, and then you
<v Speaker 1>hear the defibrillator in the back, that's a good sign.
<v Speaker 2>It's fantastic. It's fantastic.
<v Speaker 1>You know, you're onto something. Oh I love it.
<v Speaker 2>I've been at some of these screens. Do what I've
<v Speaker 2>seen people walking out. I'm like, yes, yeah, yeah, yeah,
<v Speaker 2>I got them. Usually don't want to see people walking
<v Speaker 2>out of your movie, but this case, yes, we got them.
<v Speaker 2>We got them so right, And I think that's what
<v Speaker 2>we're trying to help bring back. And we've actually heard
<v Speaker 2>from some other directors in the industry recently and they've
<v Speaker 2>been thanking my director for, you know, getting Hollywood to
<v Speaker 2>talk again about what makes people come to movies and
<v Speaker 2>they're thinking, now they're going to be able to get
<v Speaker 2>back to doing what they originally wanted to do with
<v Speaker 2>their films. But the studios coming down saying, you can't
<v Speaker 2>do this, you can't do this, you can't do this.
<v Speaker 2>Now they're like, I think the studios are now reassessing.
<v Speaker 1>So you've got a silent character that's getting people talking, Yes,
<v Speaker 1>you can't go wrong. That's that's kismet. That's what do
<v Speaker 1>you want egg in your beer? I mean, come on,
<v Speaker 1>that's good stuff right there is gosh And now would
<v Speaker 1>you say that this follows in in the line of
<v Speaker 1>is this Saw meets Freddy Krueger meets pretty well? Is
<v Speaker 1>it in there? Am I in the right neck of
<v Speaker 1>the woods? There?
<v Speaker 2>You really are in a lot of ways because he's
<v Speaker 2>I kind of look at art as being an amalgamation
<v Speaker 2>of all the different horror icons that came before him.
<v Speaker 2>So there's of course a lot of Freddy Krueger and him,
<v Speaker 2>bits of Jig Saw, bits of Michael Myers and Jason
<v Speaker 2>and leather Face, even Hannibal Lecter. Yeah, there's all those characters,
<v Speaker 2>and I think it's just he has that silent nature
<v Speaker 2>of Jason and Michael Myers. But he has that comedic
<v Speaker 2>presence and that that that I guess, you know, personality
<v Speaker 2>of Freddy Krueger and Chucky, and I think that's what's
<v Speaker 2>drawn people to him that way.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I know there's something about him not talking that
<v Speaker 1>makes it a little scarier. Oh, it definitely is. I
<v Speaker 1>mean it's not just not talking. He doesn't make any sounds.
<v Speaker 1>You don't even hear him breathe, yeah, which is weird.
<v Speaker 1>It's like, I mean, he'll get stabbed or something like that,
<v Speaker 1>and like you know in other movies with Jason and
<v Speaker 1>you know, Michael Myers, you know when they get hit
<v Speaker 1>with something, you can sometimes hear them grunt or something
<v Speaker 1>like that. Oh yeah, you don't get any any sales
<v Speaker 1>from Mark okay, and he does scream, it's just there's
<v Speaker 1>no sound coming out. That's weird too. Yeah, that's normal,
<v Speaker 1>not totally.
<v Speaker 4>Did you have to do mime work to sort of
<v Speaker 4>get into that role or were you just good at
<v Speaker 4>miming in general.
<v Speaker 2>I've just been that's something I've just been good at
<v Speaker 2>my whole entire life. I was never professionally trained in
<v Speaker 2>mind work or anything like that. I just I was
<v Speaker 2>a consummate student of physical comedy growing up. I was
<v Speaker 2>my parents and grandparents get me a great education, watching
<v Speaker 2>like the Marx Brothers and Charlie Chaplin or Mister Bean.
<v Speaker 1>Charlie Mister Beans. Yes, John Ridory, The Goon, The Goon's,
<v Speaker 1>The Goon Show, The Goon Squad, The Guns Show, Peters
<v Speaker 1>Pink Pather as well.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, he's just fantastic. And I love physical comedy. And
<v Speaker 2>I did a lot of children's theater growing up. Oh yeah,
<v Speaker 2>children really love me to comedy. Yeah, it's great. It's
<v Speaker 2>so a lot of fun, and I just it's something
<v Speaker 2>I've been cultivating my whole life. And then when I
<v Speaker 2>was Stephan's understudy for Grinch, he was able to take
<v Speaker 2>what I had been doing my whole entire life and
<v Speaker 2>he's like, Okay, I see what you're doing, but here's
<v Speaker 2>how you make it better. And he was like to
<v Speaker 2>tweak things and give me a lot of you know,
<v Speaker 2>tidbits and information about how to make things just a
<v Speaker 2>little bit better.
<v Speaker 1>And it's wonderful.
<v Speaker 2>When I did with Art, oh good for you, yeaheesh.
<v Speaker 2>I always say, you know, learn from the best and
<v Speaker 2>adapt and make it your own.
<v Speaker 3>Yeah.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah. And the rating system was interesting for this because
<v Speaker 1>it's it's just unrated. How does that work? I don't
<v Speaker 1>even because I knew there was G and R and.
<v Speaker 2>I I really don't understand how that works either. I
<v Speaker 2>was really surprised.
<v Speaker 3>Then seen is that? Is that what it's rate?
<v Speaker 2>It's no, it's just unrated period. And we didn't go
<v Speaker 2>It's like it was just Cineverse just went to those
<v Speaker 2>different studios and like AMC and Regal and all them,
<v Speaker 2>and it's like, okay, just here, here you go. If
<v Speaker 2>you want to put it in theaters, go ahead and
<v Speaker 2>put in the theater.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah.
<v Speaker 2>They took a big, huge risk with it, but it's
<v Speaker 2>it's paid off now. It is the highest grossing unrated
<v Speaker 2>film of all time.
<v Speaker 3>That's what.
<v Speaker 2>We beat Beyonce, which is unheard of.
<v Speaker 1>But she was begging for it. I know when you
<v Speaker 1>say you beat Beyonce, Yeah, she has.
<v Speaker 2>I think it was a concert film or something like that.
<v Speaker 1>Oh oh yeah, well I think your boy and Beyonce
<v Speaker 1>should team up.
<v Speaker 2>Oh that would be fun that she could be Foxy
<v Speaker 2>Cleopatra again from the Yes.
<v Speaker 1>Yes, oh god, yes, I forgot about that.
<v Speaker 4>Do you feel because of the success of terrifying Three
<v Speaker 4>Hatches Gone Bag number one that you more more open out.
<v Speaker 4>It's cameos in these films. Think that's gonna be the
<v Speaker 4>next level because Christ Jericho has been in one. But
<v Speaker 4>do you think I list level cameos now would be
<v Speaker 4>the next step?
<v Speaker 2>We don't really want to get that too cheesy, I
<v Speaker 2>guess with it with cameos, but like, if we're gonna
<v Speaker 2>do cameos, we don't want to make them just like cameos.
<v Speaker 2>We wanted to make them actual characters in the movie.
<v Speaker 2>So it does doesn't seem like I'm just going, oh, look,
<v Speaker 2>it's such and such a sorry, so you know we
<v Speaker 2>want to do it.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, yeah, wow, that's insane.
<v Speaker 2>But it has been fun working with other people like
<v Speaker 2>you know, Chris Jericho or Clant and Daniel and all
<v Speaker 2>these great people. I mean Tom Savina, now that was
<v Speaker 2>really a cameo in this because Tom Savini is one
<v Speaker 2>of Damien's idols. That's what Tom is. The reason Damien
<v Speaker 2>got into doing practical effects in the first place. So
<v Speaker 2>he really wanted Tom to be a part of the
<v Speaker 2>movie in some shape or form. So he made that happen.
<v Speaker 1>And I'm sure it's a completed coincidence that Damien was
<v Speaker 1>the name of the kid in the omen.
<v Speaker 2>Oh no, that's not coincidence. Oh, his mother literally named
<v Speaker 2>him after Damien from the moment. Yes, she actually went
<v Speaker 2>in movie poster just to make sure she spelled it correct.
<v Speaker 1>Amen.
<v Speaker 2>It's All for Him, which is one of my favorite
<v Speaker 2>horror movies too.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, Oh god, I was. The crapout was so terrifying.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, so terrifying. It's chilling. It's just especially the graveyard
<v Speaker 2>scene with all the hell hounds, and it's just chilling
<v Speaker 2>to me.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, yeah, yeah.
<v Speaker 3>I have a question about behind the scenes on these films.
<v Speaker 3>With the success that it's brought, you know, monetarily, with
<v Speaker 3>each you know, stage of the franchise, do you see
<v Speaker 3>differences on set? Because I've worked on low budget sets
<v Speaker 3>and I can attest it's been a nightmare. You know,
<v Speaker 3>you have inexperienced people, everybody's in a rush. You don't
<v Speaker 3>really get the chance to really be artistic, right, How
<v Speaker 3>was that changed from the process of the first film
<v Speaker 3>into this last one.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, that's a good question. On the first film, we
<v Speaker 2>made it for thirty five thousand dollars. That's unhurt unheard it. Wow,
<v Speaker 2>nobody was really paid for that one. Yeah, that was
<v Speaker 2>Damien did all the practical effects himself, so that saved
<v Speaker 2>a lot.
<v Speaker 3>You can't shoot ten seconds of a commercial for that.
<v Speaker 2>No, no, not at all. And it's like when Damion
<v Speaker 2>first told me what we made that on, I laughed.
<v Speaker 2>I could not stop laughing. I couldnot believe that. In
<v Speaker 2>my head, I thought we made.
<v Speaker 3>It for maybe cameras did you shoot on?
<v Speaker 2>I think they used red back.
<v Speaker 3>Then rented, Yeah, obviously everything's rented obviously obviously.
<v Speaker 2>But Part two we did a fundraising campaign for that
<v Speaker 2>and with Indigogo at a bake sale, Yeah, that kind
<v Speaker 2>of stuff online, big a bunch of that we were
<v Speaker 2>selling off, you know, my costume pieces and.
<v Speaker 3>That's that's not a bad idea.
<v Speaker 2>My prosthetic every night because we would have a different prosthetics,
<v Speaker 2>so that would go to different you know, people that contributed.
<v Speaker 2>So we raised about two hundred and fifty thousand dollars
<v Speaker 2>for that one, so that pretty much funded the second
<v Speaker 2>film and so we were able to have a bigger
<v Speaker 2>crew that next time. And then this time we had
<v Speaker 2>about a budget of I think about two or three million. Yeah,
<v Speaker 2>and that definitely helped a lot, and Damien was able
<v Speaker 2>to hire a you guys got crafty now, yes, a
<v Speaker 2>little bit better, a little bit better. We weren't eating
<v Speaker 2>like you know, you know, beef tips or something like
<v Speaker 2>that that are producers.
<v Speaker 1>White.
<v Speaker 2>Didn't get quarters exactly exactly the machine, No, or just
<v Speaker 2>eating bags of Dorritos all the time that the break
<v Speaker 2>Yet that was pretty much what I was doing.
<v Speaker 1>Well, the orange fingers would show up too much. Oh yeah,
<v Speaker 1>that would be dead giveaway.
<v Speaker 2>It's really bad. It's really especially with all the white
<v Speaker 2>I'm wearing gets everywhere, forget it.
<v Speaker 3>But what you're saying is it did get better, and
<v Speaker 3>it definitely.
<v Speaker 2>Didn't get better, especially for Damien because he didn't have
<v Speaker 2>to do all the practical effects. For part three, we
<v Speaker 2>hired Christian Tinley. Christ I can't talk Christian Tinsley's makeup team.
<v Speaker 2>They they they are award winning team. They did like
<v Speaker 2>the Passion of the Christ and Redfield recently West World,
<v Speaker 2>so they're really good at this kind of work and
<v Speaker 2>they may. Damien's job a lot easier this time around,
<v Speaker 2>and he was able to focus more on directing because
<v Speaker 2>back in the first two films he was doing my makeup,
<v Speaker 2>and then he would have to leave me to go,
<v Speaker 2>you know, set up shots or look at this or that,
<v Speaker 2>or direct a scene and come back and keep doing
<v Speaker 2>more of my makeup and jubbler. Yeah, this man wears
<v Speaker 2>a lot of hats, a whole lot of hats.
<v Speaker 1>Well, you have a nice hat in your don't you have?
<v Speaker 2>Like at.
<v Speaker 1>There?
<v Speaker 2>Yeah.
<v Speaker 4>I think that was one of the most impressive things
<v Speaker 4>about that first film was the practical effects on such
<v Speaker 4>a low budget that really showcased Damien's talents.
<v Speaker 2>It really did, It really did, and he's very talented.
<v Speaker 2>He's self taught too. He didn't go to school for
<v Speaker 2>any of that either. He just learned it through trial
<v Speaker 2>and error. Like the Great Stid back in the day,
<v Speaker 2>is a cosplayer. Oh not really, I would say a cosplayer.
<v Speaker 2>He just liked to do it himself.
<v Speaker 3>I know. I asked that because they're really good at
<v Speaker 3>that kind of stuff.
<v Speaker 2>Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah he he did.
<v Speaker 1>Though.
<v Speaker 2>A few years ago, when we're at a convention for Halloween,
<v Speaker 2>dress up like Vincent from the Old Beauty and the
<v Speaker 2>Beast series as a rock per Roman's character, Yes, and
<v Speaker 2>put that makeup on.
<v Speaker 1>Oh wow, Well that took a while.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, it looked great though, Yeah great.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, yeah, I forgot about that.
<v Speaker 2>Oh I still love that series too, Yeah me too.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, runs a buddy of he's a great guy.
<v Speaker 3>Yeah. N Ron was on the Pearlman last year. Pearl
<v Speaker 3>was on The Castman last round.
<v Speaker 1>Yes, Yes and English hard word salad.
<v Speaker 2>Yes, eat them all the time?
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, man oh man. So will you ever an accomplished mine?
<v Speaker 1>Is that not a Is that a thing? Feather in
<v Speaker 1>your hat?
<v Speaker 2>No?
<v Speaker 1>Okay, because you get that mime groove, you know, because
<v Speaker 1>you have to convey a lot of stuff. Course, all
<v Speaker 1>you're doing is conveying I'm going to kill you, and
<v Speaker 1>so it's a little less nuancedlls. Yeah.
<v Speaker 2>There are all these people that do say the art
<v Speaker 2>is a mime, and I always tell them no, no, no, no,
<v Speaker 2>never call him the m word like that's that's what
<v Speaker 2>happened to Ali in the second film. She made that mistake,
<v Speaker 2>and you know he brought out the saw for her. Yes,
<v Speaker 2>But I always like, you know, to you know, try
<v Speaker 2>to you know, educate people on that matters. He's not
<v Speaker 2>a mime. He's a silent clown like and more like
<v Speaker 2>the pros Yes style.
<v Speaker 1>M Kelly was that's that's the one I was trying
<v Speaker 1>to think of. He never made a sound, right, no.
<v Speaker 2>No, And that's what he is. Because the difference between
<v Speaker 2>silent clowns and mimes are you know, silent clowns used props,
<v Speaker 2>Mimes pantomime everything, it's the name mime. So I always
<v Speaker 2>tell people's like, you know, if my if art was
<v Speaker 2>a mime, he'd be a horrible killer. Yeah, he just
<v Speaker 2>would not be that effective.
<v Speaker 1>You know. I Uh, for a I used to live
<v Speaker 1>in New Orleans and there were a lot of street
<v Speaker 1>performers there, a lot of people and a lot of
<v Speaker 1>guys that will just spray paint their entire body gold
<v Speaker 1>or bronze or silver and then stand there like that
<v Speaker 1>for eighteen hours. And uh and then of course the
<v Speaker 1>mimes are there. They're all over Jackson Square. And I
<v Speaker 1>used to think it would be a great idea. And
<v Speaker 1>now tell me if you think this would play Lenny
<v Speaker 1>the amazing talking mime, how does he do it? Whoa way,
<v Speaker 1>I'm flying a kite over here? Is it windy or what?
<v Speaker 1>You know? And people are going, you know, I never
<v Speaker 1>quite caught the gland to try that great idea.
<v Speaker 2>Character.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, that's yeah, oh way, what is this a glass cube?
<v Speaker 1>I can't get up. I'm kid with you. I'm on mine.
<v Speaker 1>You know that gun? I think that would it's just
<v Speaker 1>a natural.
<v Speaker 2>It almost sounds like a character they could have had,
<v Speaker 2>like an Animaniacs or something like that, because I had
<v Speaker 2>that characters in my time. But that's like that.
<v Speaker 1>Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I did a lot of
<v Speaker 1>those too. I should have I should have brought that
<v Speaker 1>up back in the day.
<v Speaker 2>That's a great cartoon. That's such a it's just brilliant. Yeah,
<v Speaker 2>that part and part of that cartoon shape where I
<v Speaker 2>am now with comedy too. Oh yeah, yeah, I loved anime.
<v Speaker 1>So who are you? Who are your influences comedically speaking?
<v Speaker 2>Oh? So many, so many. I mean it goes, of
<v Speaker 2>course back to Chaplin and Buster Keith and Harpo, Marx
<v Speaker 2>and Marcel Marceaux had to be there somewhere, of course,
<v Speaker 2>of course, Rowan Atkins. You know mister Bean. It's I.
<v Speaker 2>My aunt when I was about twelve, gifted me a
<v Speaker 2>box set of mister Bean videos. Oh and I think
<v Speaker 2>that was the yeah me too. They're FANTASTICO and that
<v Speaker 2>I think that was like the catalyst for a lot
<v Speaker 2>of where I went with things, because I would sit
<v Speaker 2>there and just watch those videos and just rewatch them,
<v Speaker 2>and rewatching and rewatch them because I just love that style.
<v Speaker 2>I love that site. He's such a mischievous little jerk. Oh.
<v Speaker 2>I love him. The Christmas episode especially always kills me
<v Speaker 2>with the Nativity scene where he's doing that little thing
<v Speaker 2>with the baby and everybody's like, he's got the marching
<v Speaker 2>band coming through, the dinosaurs coming in.
<v Speaker 1>It's yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
<v Speaker 2>Well.
<v Speaker 1>I like the British humor that.
<v Speaker 2>It's so much, you know, more sophisticated. I love British comedy.
<v Speaker 1>I was this close to getting John on the oh okay,
<v Speaker 1>maybe this close, but that much that I.
<v Speaker 2>Was on a flight with him recently coming back from
<v Speaker 2>I think he was doing Dragon Con there in George
<v Speaker 2>and I was coming back from a different con, but
<v Speaker 2>I had a connecting flight there in Atlanta and it
<v Speaker 2>was just a very quick moment. I was coming on
<v Speaker 2>the bathroom. He looked at me and I looked at him.
<v Speaker 2>We both did a head nod and that was it.
<v Speaker 2>And I was like, I'm good, I'm good, Yeah, sure, yeah,
<v Speaker 2>I'm good.
<v Speaker 1>He is a human. He just pede you know so
<v Speaker 1>that he was a bonding.
<v Speaker 3>Moment human after all, Well, owes me the p it's him.
<v Speaker 1>Oh that's true, I'm the human. Yeah, that's.
<v Speaker 2>That's so true.

<v Speaker 2>Well, you a Disney kid growing up, very much so,
<v Speaker 2>very much so. My very first film I ever saw
<v Speaker 2>in the theaters was Fox of the Hound. Oh yeah, yeah,
<v Speaker 2>that's I grew up in the Disney runs and it's
<v Speaker 2>of course The Disney Afternoon was my bag back in
<v Speaker 2>the day.
<v Speaker 1>I think mine might have been Dumbo. Maybe Dumbo. Yes,
<v Speaker 1>that's a great one. Yeah, it wasn't the original in
<v Speaker 1>the forties, but I mean my aunt Nam took it
<v Speaker 1>to me.
<v Speaker 2>I think they re released it. Well they still do that, Yeah,
<v Speaker 2>that's probably what they did. It's probably a profit deal.
<v Speaker 2>Probably probably.
<v Speaker 1>I'm just getting on a limb here.
<v Speaker 2>Because I remember they used to do that with like
<v Speaker 2>Cinderella and Snow White and Bad. They would probably be
<v Speaker 2>some every like decade or so for a newer audience,
<v Speaker 2>which is great.
<v Speaker 1>But yeah, so are you guys in What's for the future?
<v Speaker 1>Are we going to see more more art? Oh? Very
<v Speaker 1>much so.
<v Speaker 2>We were already planning for part four right now, I
<v Speaker 2>know it.
<v Speaker 1>Yes, indeed you here first or third, more tenth.
<v Speaker 3>Yeah.
<v Speaker 2>We we were just chatting the other night at this
<v Speaker 2>con Jason Patrick and Damian and I were bringing storming
<v Speaker 2>a whole idea for a kill scene for a part four.
<v Speaker 2>It was just it's something very demented and I think
<v Speaker 2>people would be very very cringe worthy type of kill
<v Speaker 2>for people.
<v Speaker 1>So good.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, it's it's funny.
<v Speaker 1>How to get a complimentary barf bag with this movie?
<v Speaker 2>I think that would be a smart I think that's
<v Speaker 2>not a bad idea.
<v Speaker 4>Actually, that's a good marketing plan. Actually, you know you
<v Speaker 4>know what.
<v Speaker 1>Doug got it? Yeah, all right, you passed that along
<v Speaker 1>and then I'll get don't tell them where you got it.
<v Speaker 2>It's brilliant. It's a brilliant idea.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, maybe I could do a cameo, Yeah, well.
<v Speaker 3>If you need somebody to I'm really good at Have
<v Speaker 3>you seen the killing I died on the one hundred.
<v Speaker 3>There's this alien that just came right out. I died
<v Speaker 3>in this little short film. I was at a summer
<v Speaker 3>camp and the camp counselor stabbed me to death. I mean,
<v Speaker 3>I'm just you know, they love to kill me. I'm like,
<v Speaker 3>what's that guy for Sean Bean, I'm.
<v Speaker 1>Like cnbing, Oh yeah, that's true.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, oh that's it's it's fun. I have more fun
<v Speaker 2>killing people than being the one that dies.
<v Speaker 1>Though.
<v Speaker 3>I have a lot of fun dying.
<v Speaker 2>That's good, that's right. I just have more appreciate it.
<v Speaker 3>Just because then you can't come back.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah yeah, you're not going to be in the next one.
<v Speaker 2>No, no, no, it's I just always I'm always astounded
<v Speaker 2>with my my female co stars, especially where they would
<v Speaker 2>go four or five days screaming it all day, every
<v Speaker 2>single day, and they still have their voice.
<v Speaker 1>You got to know how to scream.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I'm like, that's amazing, because I had to do
<v Speaker 2>some screams for my last film, Stream where I got
<v Speaker 2>set on fire and about you know that wast of it.
<v Speaker 1>I was just God's gotta hurt. Oh yeah, being set
<v Speaker 1>on fire fun.
<v Speaker 2>It's not fun.
<v Speaker 1>I don't care what anybody says. That's gonna sting. He's
<v Speaker 1>not acting, that's real, that's real. Why his hair going
<v Speaker 1>and eyebrows? God?
<v Speaker 4>Many do you think that mentality has changed since the
<v Speaker 4>first film? Because the first film you're just making a
<v Speaker 4>low budget horror movies. But now do you think the
<v Speaker 4>mentality of the new films is what's the most creative
<v Speaker 4>way we can kill somebody? Is that more of a
<v Speaker 4>mindset now going into the films of how can we
<v Speaker 4>scare people and gross people out with these deaths? Was
<v Speaker 4>that the mentality in the first one or was that evolved?
<v Speaker 2>Since I think that was a little bit of the
<v Speaker 2>mentality in the first one, just with the infamous hacksaw
<v Speaker 2>scene in that one, because when I read that in
<v Speaker 2>the script, I thought that was just there for descriptive
<v Speaker 2>purposes for us the reader. And Damion's like, oh no,
<v Speaker 2>we're actually going to show all of that. I'm like what,
<v Speaker 2>Because I'm so used to other films they always cut
<v Speaker 2>away from that. Man, they don't show the actual kill
<v Speaker 2>happening in that way, And I think, yeah, that's true. Wow,
<v Speaker 2>that's true. That's the cue to cut away.
<v Speaker 1>Yes, and then in the morning, you know, the fog
<v Speaker 1>rolls away and they revealed their body parts everywhere. What happened,
<v Speaker 1>what happened there?
<v Speaker 3>It's actually wow, that is able to be shown these days.
<v Speaker 3>I remember not too long ago. I mean, we had
<v Speaker 3>a couple of the voice actors performers from Grand Theft
<v Speaker 3>Auto on the show, and I remember a whole bunch
<v Speaker 3>of controversy about a torture scene in that game. Oh
<v Speaker 3>you really did? Was yeah, you pull his tooth out,
<v Speaker 3>you electrocute him a little bit, and I'm saying, like
<v Speaker 3>it's nothing, but yeah, But I mean, looking back on it,
<v Speaker 3>the scene is not really that graphic. I mean, you
<v Speaker 3>can look it up on YouTube. It's not really that great.
<v Speaker 3>And I just remember the controversy over it. And it's animated,
<v Speaker 3>you know, it's not even acted, it's not practical effects,
<v Speaker 3>it's not you know, trying to convince you that it's
<v Speaker 3>you know, live action.
<v Speaker 2>And so it was a controversy for sure. You remember
<v Speaker 2>that I do, I do, I do? Yeah, And then
<v Speaker 2>what I saw, It's like, really, that's what people are
<v Speaker 2>so upset about, right.
<v Speaker 3>Right, you're going without getting too much on a tangent.
<v Speaker 3>I think a degree of the outrage was the fact
<v Speaker 3>that you're controlling and you're kind of the person in
<v Speaker 3>control of like how to torture this character.
<v Speaker 2>Which makes sense, yeah, that regards.
<v Speaker 3>But still, I mean visually it has nothing really on
<v Speaker 3>terrify or.
<v Speaker 2>If you like no, And I think that's why Damion
<v Speaker 2>wanted to do this. He wanted to just push that
<v Speaker 2>envelope and see what he could do. So, you know,
<v Speaker 2>going forward, we definitely have looked to see, okay, how
<v Speaker 2>because we knew it was like, oh when we did
<v Speaker 2>part two, we're like, okay, gosh, everybody's gonna be talking
<v Speaker 2>about that tax sauce saying, well, we got to do something,
<v Speaker 2>try to rival and we originally what we were going
<v Speaker 2>to do was okay, but then COVID hit and Damion
<v Speaker 2>went back to look at what we had done. He's like, God,
<v Speaker 2>this doesn't seem like it's going to really meet up
<v Speaker 2>to the expectations. But he's like, well, we we have
<v Speaker 2>all this downtime because of COVID. So he went back
<v Speaker 2>to the drawing board and revamped that whole entire scene
<v Speaker 2>and had time that at that point to actually construct
<v Speaker 2>all the pieces he wanted for it, so he wasn't
<v Speaker 2>rushed and we came back when we were able to
<v Speaker 2>reopen you know, their Nee York and filmed the rest
<v Speaker 2>over that Christmas holiday season, and that's where you were.
<v Speaker 2>You filmed them off there in New York in the
<v Speaker 2>middle of Newer Amish country for part two. No, yeah,
<v Speaker 2>it was. It was fun going home in the morning
<v Speaker 2>in blood and little buggies on the road. Ezekiel like,
<v Speaker 2>oh my gosh, I scared some people. All right, yeah,
<v Speaker 2>I would imagine, but that we definitely take that as
<v Speaker 2>a challenge.
<v Speaker 4>Have you played the game yet? Speaking of video game.
<v Speaker 1>I have not.
<v Speaker 2>No. I didn't even know about that until about a
<v Speaker 2>month ago when we were in seacha Is there at
<v Speaker 2>the premiere there in Spain and the developers were there
<v Speaker 2>and they took us out to lunch and they showed
<v Speaker 2>me the trailer for that. I'm like, what is this?
<v Speaker 1>This is amazing video game.
<v Speaker 2>It's an old spinball. No, No, it's like old school
<v Speaker 2>like side scroller beat them up like back in the
<v Speaker 2>like back in the eighties with our kid. Yeah, so
<v Speaker 2>that's yeah, yeah, it's kind of fun. You're you're playing
<v Speaker 2>as the villain, so you're going up against the heroes.
<v Speaker 1>Okay, everybody make note, there's your stalking stuffer coming up.
<v Speaker 2>Stalking stuff, ladies and gentlemen. Yes, the A L K.
<v Speaker 2>Even and the best you know stalking stuffer would be
<v Speaker 2>a severed foot.
<v Speaker 1>Think about it.
<v Speaker 2>How I got to give tribute to Mitch Hedberg there
<v Speaker 2>for that one?
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, oh yeah, he's no longer with us, the comedian. Yes, yes,
<v Speaker 1>I loved him.
<v Speaker 2>I loved some of the best non sequiturs. He was
<v Speaker 2>just crazy. I loved his comedy.
<v Speaker 1>Loved his comedy. So how long? How long do you
<v Speaker 1>think you can How many shows? How many movies do
<v Speaker 1>you think we've got in us here?
<v Speaker 2>I think we at least have them, probably ten or
<v Speaker 2>two more for right now, for at least this story
<v Speaker 2>arc he's going with right now. But I don't think
<v Speaker 2>he's going to be stopped at that. This is probably
<v Speaker 2>is going to be this one story arc, and then
<v Speaker 2>I'll probably give it a few years and they'll probably
<v Speaker 2>go back and yeah, he'll probably want to make more money,
<v Speaker 2>and I'll probably want to make more money, So let's
<v Speaker 2>make more money.
<v Speaker 1>I think I think he could go to Marty Grass.
<v Speaker 2>Oh that would be fun, because that would be he
<v Speaker 2>could blend in. Oh he could really Oh god, that's
<v Speaker 2>a great I know. Oh that's a great idea. That
<v Speaker 2>is a great.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, because he could walk right down the middle of
<v Speaker 1>the street. Yeah, all day long, all night long.
<v Speaker 2>Totally fine, yes, fine, Oh.
<v Speaker 4>You're welcome wherever that's terrified.
<v Speaker 2>Five. Gim you're going to be in terrify a five now.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah that's true.
<v Speaker 2>Yes, yes, yes, Oh that would be amazing.
<v Speaker 1>And Christopher could kill me, yeah killed Oh wait, kill him.
<v Speaker 1>He's harder to kill. I probably wouldn't take much work
<v Speaker 1>to kill me, So kill him first and then, you know,
<v Speaker 1>just good measure.
<v Speaker 3>We're you a big fan of horror movies slasher movies
<v Speaker 3>growing up?
<v Speaker 2>I wasn't at first. My mom was a big chicken.
<v Speaker 2>So like she thought the old Vincent Price followed the
<v Speaker 2>House of Usher movie. Oh, it was the scariest movie
<v Speaker 2>she had ever seen.
<v Speaker 1>Oh well it probably was for her for.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, yeah that too, and so I we just never
<v Speaker 2>watched them in my household. It wasn't until I was
<v Speaker 2>in oh, about to go to college, is like my
<v Speaker 2>senior year in high school. I was doing a production
<v Speaker 2>of Christmas Carol. Pretty scary, very scary for lot.
<v Speaker 1>Yes, that's true.
<v Speaker 2>But our cast was going to go see Scream too,
<v Speaker 2>because they had just come out in the theaters and
<v Speaker 2>there was a girl in the cast had a crash
<v Speaker 2>on and she asked if I was going to go,
<v Speaker 2>and well, I can't chicken out from this girl, So
<v Speaker 2>I'm like, yeah, okay, sure I'll go. And I I
<v Speaker 2>was nervous, didn't know what else getting myself in for
<v Speaker 2>because my mom had always been, you know, talking about
<v Speaker 2>how scary these type of movies are. Oh, you're gonna
<v Speaker 2>hate them, You're gonna hate him. Oh you're nervous going
<v Speaker 2>to a very much. Yeah that's perfect. Yeah yeah. And
<v Speaker 2>then I was laughing my head off through the whole movie.
<v Speaker 2>Oh wow, this is this is so much fun. And
<v Speaker 2>I was like, oh. So the next year when I
<v Speaker 2>went to college, my roommate who came from very strict
<v Speaker 2>Southern Baptist family, so he never watched these movies growing
<v Speaker 2>up either. So we would go every single weekend and
<v Speaker 2>go to the local movies store and just get stacks
<v Speaker 2>of tapes and watch a whole entire series over the weekend,
<v Speaker 2>just to catch.
<v Speaker 1>Up, just to ruin his perspective.
<v Speaker 2>So very much.
<v Speaker 1>So, man, that's in doctor Nation.
<v Speaker 2>Oh it really is in small town Alabama.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, must have gone over well, oh yeah, you know it.
<v Speaker 1>So I had to ask you. I've made some notes
<v Speaker 1>about now the sunflower glass. Is there is there any
<v Speaker 1>merchandising coming off of this? There is with a lot
<v Speaker 1>of merchandising sunflower glasses.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, yeah, I started making those really, I mean it
<v Speaker 2>was I think it was a product originally made and
<v Speaker 2>I don't know how this happened, but now we're making
<v Speaker 2>them as well, with the terrifier logo on the side
<v Speaker 2>of them.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah. Well my wife wanted to know. Yeah, she's she's
<v Speaker 1>very good at marketing. She's a very good business woman,
<v Speaker 1>and so she's and here you guys are on it.
<v Speaker 1>That's yeah.
<v Speaker 2>The amount of merchandise. I don't know if you saw
<v Speaker 2>some of the things people are bringing up to my
<v Speaker 2>table at the convention this weekend. But it's like there's
<v Speaker 2>there's a baby doll that they've made of me. It's
<v Speaker 2>it's like not like a kid's baby ball. It looks
<v Speaker 2>like a baby just crawling and it's it's adorable that
<v Speaker 2>they've made, of course, knives and stuff like that, but
<v Speaker 2>there's so many shirts and two animatronics. Now that they
<v Speaker 2>had a party city and Spirit Halloween.
<v Speaker 1>She winded up and to kill someone. Pretty much, it's
<v Speaker 1>so cute. Pretty much, I actually did. It's so funny.
<v Speaker 1>It's it's it's my size too. They got my measurements
<v Speaker 1>and everything for it, I guess. But I did it
<v Speaker 1>recently a few weeks ago when I was in New
<v Speaker 1>York for the premiere. They had me come into Spencer's
<v Speaker 1>and Spirit Halloween and I dressed up as Art and
<v Speaker 1>I did the whole animatronic thing and I was scaring people.
<v Speaker 2>Oh wow, it's so much fun.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, that's got a very Christmas kids, Oh very much.
<v Speaker 2>Oh yeah, I love to do that.
<v Speaker 1>Crazy.
<v Speaker 4>One of my favorite bits of merch from the film
<v Speaker 4>with I love that Umbrella Entertainment of a box that
<v Speaker 4>coming out and one of the extras in there is
<v Speaker 4>a VHS copy of the film. Yes, which is just
<v Speaker 4>something in twenty twenty four so unheard of. But I
<v Speaker 4>think the film just has that real nostalgia eighties vibe
<v Speaker 4>to it that it just fits.
<v Speaker 2>It does it does. That's something we did with the
<v Speaker 2>first film they released a VHS. So every film they've
<v Speaker 2>done a VHS release of it, because that's what we
<v Speaker 2>were always trying to harken back to the old. Wow,
<v Speaker 2>the older.
<v Speaker 1>There's people out there with enough VCRs.
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, seriously, you hope.
<v Speaker 1>I don't think I have one anymore.
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, decades.
<v Speaker 2>I have a collection of old videotapes and everythings, which
<v Speaker 2>all my old Disney ones on the clamshells.
<v Speaker 1>My friend Corey Burton still has a beta. Wow, it's
<v Speaker 1>got a much better resolution and it's no, it doesn't
<v Speaker 1>not not than a DVD okay, but still, what are
<v Speaker 1>you appurist about that?
<v Speaker 2>For?
<v Speaker 1>Wow?
<v Speaker 2>You could show that to like someone that a younger
<v Speaker 2>generation now, they would not even know what that is.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, on a.
<v Speaker 4>Vinyl record, it's the experience of putting this physical thing
<v Speaker 4>into the VHS and watching the film that way. It's
<v Speaker 4>much no different to putting on a vinyl record instead
<v Speaker 4>of just putting an MP three player on. It's a
<v Speaker 4>vinyl record you're putting on. It's the experience of it all.
<v Speaker 2>It really is. Well, I like I like those. I
<v Speaker 2>like records, of course, you know. I love the vhs too.
<v Speaker 2>I love you know, I was always very kind and
<v Speaker 2>I would rewind, So.
<v Speaker 1>That's right kind rewind. Oh my gosh, that's.
<v Speaker 2>I was always annoyed when you've rented a video and
<v Speaker 2>it's like halfway through you're like, oh, are.
<v Speaker 1>You kidding me? Yeah? Well, I worked at a video
<v Speaker 1>store right before I got into this business, with a
<v Speaker 1>video depot in Anaheim Hills, and that was one of
<v Speaker 1>my pet peeves.
<v Speaker 2>Oh don't worry, I already wind it for you know.
<v Speaker 1>It's like, you know, people go okay, good, you know,
<v Speaker 1>I was like, okay, painted, but.
<v Speaker 2>Though, oh my gosh, it really was. Yeah, let that
<v Speaker 2>be your worst trouble, ye.
<v Speaker 1>Kidd So, so how busy does it keep you? Like?
<v Speaker 1>Week to week, day to day, month to month. It's
<v Speaker 1>keeping me busy, keeping you going up with it?
<v Speaker 2>Is it is? I've I've been doing a convention every
<v Speaker 2>single week since August. Oh yeah, so that's been keeping busy.
<v Speaker 2>So I figured right now, might as well make Hay
<v Speaker 2>Wise Sunshine. Yeah, because who knows how long this is
<v Speaker 2>going to last? Yeah, I just don't know, but I'm
<v Speaker 2>very grateful for it.
<v Speaker 1>But you know, I think it'll be. I think it'll be.
<v Speaker 1>He's in there. He's ending the Freddy Krueger zone. I
<v Speaker 1>hope so they'll, you know, in other words, forever. That
<v Speaker 1>would be amazing. You know, he'll always be out there.
<v Speaker 3>To me, it's very reminiscent of like the Saw series
<v Speaker 3>and the Paranormal Activity kind of that business model too,
<v Speaker 3>you know, where they started low budget and then expand
<v Speaker 3>and expanding, expand, and why not do Saw ten? You know,
<v Speaker 3>let's let's keep going. Yeah, I mean, at the end
<v Speaker 3>of the day, it's a business. You know, it's show business.
<v Speaker 3>You know, everybody's trying to make money. You know, if
<v Speaker 3>people are there, if the fandom's there, why not keep
<v Speaker 3>making them. But I wanted to ask you earlier. I
<v Speaker 3>wanted to ask you what your biggest challenge as an
<v Speaker 3>actor has been in your career.
<v Speaker 1>Oh?
<v Speaker 2>Boy, I think the Bill. The biggest challenge for me
<v Speaker 2>was to learn to let go like when I because
<v Speaker 2>I remember way back when I was doing community theater
<v Speaker 2>in Alabama, I would get so upset if I didn't
<v Speaker 2>get cast in a show. And I mean, especially when
<v Speaker 2>I was younger, I would throw a hissy fit. And
<v Speaker 2>that's that's one of those things I'm very grateful for
<v Speaker 2>my parents where they taught me not to be that way.
<v Speaker 2>They're like, okay, now, okay, I understand you're upset, but
<v Speaker 2>you're not always going to win, and you've got to
<v Speaker 2>learn how to take it graciously. And so matter occurs. Right,
<v Speaker 2>It's so true, especially in our industry. Well we hear
<v Speaker 2>it's mostly rejection. It's like, you know, you get for
<v Speaker 2>every one yes, you get like a hundred no's. And
<v Speaker 2>I'm glad that it took me a while, especially they're
<v Speaker 2>in Huntsville, to get used to that idea. And but
<v Speaker 2>when I moved to New York, I had to learn
<v Speaker 2>very quickly, Okay, if you don't get cast, move on next. Next,
<v Speaker 2>there's always another audition coming up. And I had to
<v Speaker 2>learn to just get out of my head and stop,
<v Speaker 2>you know, thinking what did I do wrong? What I
<v Speaker 2>do wrong? What I do wrong? Oh? You suck, you suck,
<v Speaker 2>you suck. Instead, just go okay, there's a reason I
<v Speaker 2>didn't get that one, even though I was called back.
<v Speaker 2>But okay, onto the next thing, because you never know,
<v Speaker 2>maybe that next thing is going to be the thing
<v Speaker 2>that changes your life. And that's exactly what happened to
<v Speaker 2>me with Terrifier.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, So That's another thing I always tell other actors
<v Speaker 2>is just to be persistent. You never know how long
<v Speaker 2>it's going to take. I was waiting tables for thirteen years,
<v Speaker 2>doing side acting jobs. Slowly and surely I was building
<v Speaker 2>my way there. So I started off with low off,
<v Speaker 2>off off Broadway shows and eventually got to do a
<v Speaker 2>Broadway tour. And one thing led to another and led
<v Speaker 2>to another.
<v Speaker 1>What was the show that took you to Broadway?
<v Speaker 2>It was The Grinch it yeah, yeah, I didn't get
<v Speaker 2>to perform on Broadway, but it was the Broadway tour
<v Speaker 2>of it adjacent.
<v Speaker 1>Yes, yeah, there you go. Yes, it was the same company.
<v Speaker 1>Pretty cool on Broadway, not bad.
<v Speaker 3>If I'm not mistaken. Broadway Way and off Broadway is
<v Speaker 3>just the number of seats in a feater.
<v Speaker 2>Yes, correct, Yes, exactly.
<v Speaker 3>A lot of people didn't know that.
<v Speaker 2>It doesn't. Actually, there are a lot of fun fact Broadway
<v Speaker 2>shows are actually not on Broadway on that street.
<v Speaker 1>On that street. Yeah. Yeah, And what do we see
<v Speaker 1>the Faulty Towers.
<v Speaker 3>Faulty Towers Book of Mormon.
<v Speaker 2>Faulty did a show of Faulty Tower?
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, brand new, brand new just came out earlier this year.
<v Speaker 1>Kill you to death.
<v Speaker 2>Oh my god.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, John Cleice and the guy who's playing No, no, no,
<v Speaker 1>just produces it. But yeah, he is phenomenal.
<v Speaker 3>It was a great show.
<v Speaker 1>I mean he really he looks like John's I don't
<v Speaker 1>know son, maybe.
<v Speaker 3>Yeah he does.
<v Speaker 1>It's amazing, this wonderful, how special for you get.
<v Speaker 4>Her out of here?
<v Speaker 1>You know, all that, all that stuff, and it's so gosh.
<v Speaker 2>That's like, well, my favorite plays I ever did. I've
<v Speaker 2>done this play twice was thirty nine Steps, based on
<v Speaker 2>the Alfred Hitchcock. Yes, and I both shows I've played.
<v Speaker 2>I've played both clowns now in the show, and the
<v Speaker 2>clowns play thirty different characters in the show, so I've
<v Speaker 2>played about sixty different characters in this show. Oh, I
<v Speaker 2>would have arguments with myself on stage and I'd have
<v Speaker 2>to switch my hat back and forth.
<v Speaker 4>The great thing about those British shows too, is like
<v Speaker 4>mister Bane you brought up before Faulty Tow was, they
<v Speaker 4>got for about you know, ten to fifteen episodes. You
<v Speaker 4>feel like you've sayen ten seasons of them as a kid,
<v Speaker 4>don't you.
<v Speaker 2>You really do. It's just they're just so well written
<v Speaker 2>and so clever and I think that's why they feel
<v Speaker 2>like there's so much more than there actually is to them.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, and I could watch Monty Python all day long,
<v Speaker 1>all day.
<v Speaker 2>All day long, all day.
<v Speaker 1>That's crazy.
<v Speaker 2>I mean even like Vickar Delby or anything like that too.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, just brilliant. Yeah, oh god.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, it's like that's like one of the talk shows
<v Speaker 2>I would love to go on one day. I should.
<v Speaker 2>They're two of them, one called q I. I don't
<v Speaker 2>know if you've ever heard of this one. It's it's
<v Speaker 2>not really even talk to it's more like they just
<v Speaker 2>go around doing trivia questions. But it's a bunch of
<v Speaker 2>comedians on a panel together, and Sandy Tootsvik hosts. It
<v Speaker 2>used to be Stephen Fry that hosted it, but now
<v Speaker 2>say that hosts it. And it's hysterical. And every episode,
<v Speaker 2>every season is based on the lever letter of the alphabet,
<v Speaker 2>and every episode is based on a subject concerning that letter,
<v Speaker 2>and all the questions are surrounding.
<v Speaker 1>That, and what do they do go to the Greek
<v Speaker 1>alphabet or I guess they.
<v Speaker 2>Go to like, you know, like Chinese alphabet or something.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, that's just great.
<v Speaker 2>But the other one, of course, is the Graham Norton Show.
<v Speaker 2>I love Graham Norton.
<v Speaker 1>I think he's so he's such a great interview I've
<v Speaker 1>seen it in Oh he's so funny. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
<v Speaker 2>He always seems to get like these great conversations out
<v Speaker 2>of his guests on there too.
<v Speaker 1>Well you like that dry British humor, I really do. Yeah,
<v Speaker 1>me too. Girls don't like it, but for whatever reason,
<v Speaker 1>for whatever reason.
<v Speaker 5>Right Brennan, Yeah, yeah, sure, yeah, yeah, it's good.
<v Speaker 4>Can we touch on that scene that almost made you
<v Speaker 4>throw it with the rats? The rat scene.
<v Speaker 2>It wasn't the rats that did it to me. I
<v Speaker 2>thought the rats were adorable. Who does, They're wonderful. I
<v Speaker 2>loved Willard, Yes, Stuart Stuart, Yeah, oh that's really start Yes,
<v Speaker 2>Stuart Little. I was also thinking Stuart from like Mad
<v Speaker 2>TV from back in the day. But yeah, And what
<v Speaker 2>it was is in that scene is I don't handle
<v Speaker 2>puke very well. I've never liked it. Don't like it.
<v Speaker 2>And originally they had a lot more in that.
<v Speaker 1>You're not supposed to handle it. First of all, it's
<v Speaker 1>very hard to hold. Don't do it.
<v Speaker 2>It just goes right through the fingers.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah that's right, Oh my god. And it was.
<v Speaker 2>It was just gross. It was they used this horrible
<v Speaker 2>smelling cream of mushroom soup to smell bad. Oh yeah,
<v Speaker 2>and it's really hot in that ring.
<v Speaker 3>Yeah you can like it smells bad.
<v Speaker 2>Oh and they But it got worse because Samantha, who
<v Speaker 2>plays Victoria, she just decided to come down and mess
<v Speaker 2>with me because she likes to do that, and she
<v Speaker 2>had this horrible bag of like a corn nuts. They
<v Speaker 2>smelled a troll and she's just getting up right in
<v Speaker 2>my face with that makeup od and just like, what wrong.
<v Speaker 2>I'm like, oh god, no's.
<v Speaker 1>That sounded like Napoleon Dynamite.
<v Speaker 2>There.
<v Speaker 1>Get those I'm not brought out of my fish.
<v Speaker 2>Get are my tots?
<v Speaker 4>It sounds like the real family vibe on set though,
<v Speaker 4>Oh yeah, oh very much.
<v Speaker 2>So we're all just joking around all the time with
<v Speaker 2>each other, having fun. We're all very close. That's what
<v Speaker 2>I never expect when I first started doing horror films
<v Speaker 2>was how funny things can be on set, because almost
<v Speaker 2>have to be just to release you do, oh boy,
<v Speaker 2>we have to. But Samantha and I, especially in the
<v Speaker 2>first film, we really bonded well together because my first
<v Speaker 2>night working with her was when I was wearing the
<v Speaker 2>skin suit where I'm wearing someone else's tatas and and
<v Speaker 2>I'm just like, Hi, I'm David and these are my tatals.
<v Speaker 2>Welcome to Terrifier. Yes, She's like, oh my gosh, this
<v Speaker 2>is hysterical. And we just became best friends after that.
<v Speaker 2>We just were causing, making silly videos on set and
<v Speaker 2>just gooding around. We had a lot of fun. So
<v Speaker 2>I was so happy when we brought her back for
<v Speaker 2>part three and had her as my accomplice in this
<v Speaker 2>because like, oh, I love Sam's so much. She's just
<v Speaker 2>she's like a sister to me.
<v Speaker 1>Now, Oh that's great.
<v Speaker 2>I love her just absolutely. We have so much fun together.
<v Speaker 1>Very cool, very cool. So so you're you're keeping busy
<v Speaker 1>with this thing, I mean, how I am? Yeah, you
<v Speaker 1>know I who was it? Somebody said, well, you don't
<v Speaker 1>quit making You don't. The only time you quit is
<v Speaker 1>when they quit buy in right that that's uh, that's
<v Speaker 1>the one.
<v Speaker 2>But we also do so good, so far, so good.
<v Speaker 2>We also don't want to get into the you know,
<v Speaker 2>the jump the shark mode where you're just oh, well
<v Speaker 2>you have to put stuff out and it's just Halloween six. Yeah, Yeah,
<v Speaker 2>it's just like m so we want to at least
<v Speaker 2>we'll make these as long as there's a good story
<v Speaker 2>to tell. We we don't want to like sell out
<v Speaker 2>or anything like that.

<v Speaker 4>But I think the fact that you guys bring it
<v Speaker 4>brings so much humor to the movies. I think that's
<v Speaker 4>what separates you guys, and I think that's so needed
<v Speaker 4>in the Terrified films particular, because they're so grotesque and gory.
<v Speaker 4>I think these funny scenes, like the costumes of scene
<v Speaker 4>and Terrifier too, they're so needed as for the audience,
<v Speaker 4>so we can relax for a little bit because it's
<v Speaker 4>such a contrast to what's coming. Usually, when I see
<v Speaker 4>you doing those scenes, I go, okay, the relaxing us
<v Speaker 4>here that means something awful is about and it's usually
<v Speaker 4>what happens.
<v Speaker 2>That's a smart way to look at it. You got
<v Speaker 2>to set them up for it. And I think that's
<v Speaker 2>one of those things where horror and comedy can go
<v Speaker 2>together so well. Like peanut butter and chocolate. You need
<v Speaker 2>the two there. You can take the audience on a
<v Speaker 2>better write that way, because you have those comedic bits
<v Speaker 2>that can put the audience at ease again and then
<v Speaker 2>you can hit them again with another good scare. But
<v Speaker 2>also with the comedic bits, were able to get away
<v Speaker 2>with more than we typically would. If this was a
<v Speaker 2>completely serious film, Oh my god, we would not be allowed.
<v Speaker 1>To get away with it. That's true.
<v Speaker 2>People would be just miserable, just be miserble. These would
<v Speaker 2>be miserable films. And it's that that little bit of
<v Speaker 2>comedy in there that makes everything work. I think, Oh yeah,
<v Speaker 2>special magic there.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah yeah, Well I enjoyed that scene with Clint Howard. Oh.
<v Speaker 1>I don't know what it is about him, but whenever
<v Speaker 1>he's there, you're going to have Jim Yeah you're there.
<v Speaker 2>That was all Clint just making up little one liners.
<v Speaker 2>I'm like, oh my god, he's just killing everybody. Yeah,
<v Speaker 2>all just laughing our heads off thee. Oh, that's great,
<v Speaker 2>that's so cool.
<v Speaker 4>Do you make up the actions when you so? For example,
<v Speaker 4>the costume store seeing and Terrified too, did you make
<v Speaker 4>that up yourself or was it just a you directed
<v Speaker 4>and told what to do. What post is just David
<v Speaker 4>just go for it and what works.
<v Speaker 2>A lot of the time that's just me playing around.
<v Speaker 2>Damien just lets me let loose, especially with the costume
<v Speaker 2>store scene. I had just a whole rack of glasses
<v Speaker 2>that I went down and they filmed me with every
<v Speaker 2>single pair of glasses that was on that side, and
<v Speaker 2>I would do like two or three different bits with
<v Speaker 2>every pair, and we would just play around. And Damien
<v Speaker 2>just had probably thirty forty minutes worth of footage to
<v Speaker 2>go through of me just playing around and like, Okay,
<v Speaker 2>let's take this, this and this and put it all together.
<v Speaker 2>And that's what I like. He gives me those opportunities
<v Speaker 2>just to play. But sometimes he has ideas and stuff
<v Speaker 2>like that. Like one of the I think a lot
<v Speaker 2>of people's favorite bits from the part three is when
<v Speaker 2>I'm slapping Sienna and they head every time I walk
<v Speaker 2>by here when she's tied up to the chair, And
<v Speaker 2>that was Damien on the spot, like, you know, this
<v Speaker 2>needs a little bit of levity, Dave, why don't you
<v Speaker 2>just slap her every single time you go by and
<v Speaker 2>so oh so, like literal slapstick going on over here?
<v Speaker 2>Oh yeah, great wock.
<v Speaker 3>It sounds like you're involved with every stage of production.
<v Speaker 3>Is that true?
<v Speaker 1>Pretty much? So?
<v Speaker 2>I mean Damien of course writes everything. Yeah, but it's
<v Speaker 2>like he's very interactive with the cast and crew with ideas.
<v Speaker 2>He likes to hear people's ideas. He's not just like
<v Speaker 2>it's my way or the highway. Of course, he's always
<v Speaker 2>an ultimate decide or on things, but if someone else
<v Speaker 2>has an idea about something, he's always willing these years
<v Speaker 2>through because he's like, yes, whatever we can to improve things,
<v Speaker 2>make things better, let's hear it out and see if
<v Speaker 2>we can try it out, see if it works. If
<v Speaker 2>it doesn't work, oh well, at least we tried.
<v Speaker 3>Is there anything Is there any part of your performance
<v Speaker 3>throughout the three movies that you've put out there and
<v Speaker 3>then got left on the cutting room floor and you
<v Speaker 3>were kind of disappointed by anything like that, or maybe
<v Speaker 3>vice versa.
<v Speaker 2>I'm trying to think. I mean, there was a bit
<v Speaker 2>in the first film. They put it in the extras
<v Speaker 2>where I'm in the car with the girl Dawn, and
<v Speaker 2>she turns and sees me sitting next to her, and
<v Speaker 2>she screams, well they cut. They have a cut right there.
<v Speaker 2>And my response was I started screaming back at her,
<v Speaker 2>like doing this little panic screen, just the mock her,
<v Speaker 2>and then I took out a syringe and got her
<v Speaker 2>with a syringe. But he took that bit out because
<v Speaker 2>he didn't want to give away the syringe for later
<v Speaker 2>on in the movie. So I was like, Oh, okay,
<v Speaker 2>But a lot of the stuff, from what I know,
<v Speaker 2>he leaves in. Of course, there's so many different takes
<v Speaker 2>of things, so it's like he just picks and chooses things.
<v Speaker 2>So yeah, I can't really think of anything else right
<v Speaker 2>off the top of my head, though.
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, no, the answers the question. I'm just curious because
<v Speaker 3>not often an actor gets to be involved in every
<v Speaker 3>stage of productions.
<v Speaker 2>So true.
<v Speaker 3>And I was actually just listening to a podcast too,
<v Speaker 3>where interestingly it was with an editor. He worked on
<v Speaker 3>what was that new movie? With a sci fi movie
<v Speaker 3>with Denzel's son John David Washington, the creator the Creator,
<v Speaker 3>so he edited the creator. I'm forgetting his name right now,
<v Speaker 3>I apologize anyway. All that to say, he said that
<v Speaker 3>his least favorite part of production was the actual filming
<v Speaker 3>of the movie, and I thought that was interesting. As
<v Speaker 3>an actor, you know, that's usually like, you know, the
<v Speaker 3>part that you get to play around with, which leadsn't
<v Speaker 3>me into another question thinking about that? Sorry, I'm going off.
<v Speaker 1>A lot time.
<v Speaker 3>Okay, that's interesting obviously being on stage and being in film.
<v Speaker 3>And I'm not sure if you've done voiceover or not,
<v Speaker 3>but do you have a preference of what kind of
<v Speaker 3>performance that you like to perform, be on camera, on stage,
<v Speaker 3>voiceover if you've done.
<v Speaker 2>It, Ballet, ballet? Ok I tried that back in high school.
<v Speaker 2>I took a dance class and one six week period
<v Speaker 2>we had ballet. And I am like, this is just
<v Speaker 2>something I cannot no. I am not that you Yeah,
<v Speaker 2>that's not how I knew, Like when I watched Kill
<v Speaker 2>Bill that I could tell that. You know, Uma Thurman
<v Speaker 2>has a history with ballet because you see her toes,
<v Speaker 2>I'm like, oh, she's a former ballet dancer. Oh wow,
<v Speaker 2>that's what you see. So many ballet dancers there are
<v Speaker 2>all messed up from when they had to dance on point.
<v Speaker 2>It's just oh. But for me, it's hard for me
<v Speaker 2>to choose because I was more of a stage actor.
<v Speaker 2>There's something about being on stage. It's when you have
<v Speaker 2>an audience in front of you.
<v Speaker 1>It's that it's you're better.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, you're so much better. You have something to feed
<v Speaker 2>off of, and you get that instantaneous feedback, so you
<v Speaker 2>know if things are working, especial comedy, because that's that's
<v Speaker 2>my bread and butter's comedy. So you know if the
<v Speaker 2>joke's working or not, and so you know, Okay, I
<v Speaker 2>can take it further, or I can reassess and try
<v Speaker 2>to do it differently this way and see maybe if
<v Speaker 2>that gets a laugh or not. With film, you don't
<v Speaker 2>have that luxury. You just hope and pray that whatever
<v Speaker 2>you filmed is other people are going to find funny,
<v Speaker 2>and you won't know for several months later, sometimes years later,
<v Speaker 2>if it worked.
<v Speaker 1>Did that work? Yeah?
<v Speaker 3>And it can get made or screwed up in an
<v Speaker 3>edit too.
<v Speaker 2>It really can, because that's that's the whole, you know
<v Speaker 2>thing with comedy. It all comes down to timing, and
<v Speaker 2>it's it's challenging, especially on film, to get the right timing.
<v Speaker 2>You have to just feel it. And that's how I
<v Speaker 2>am on set. I can always tell when it's the
<v Speaker 2>right take.
<v Speaker 1>I can. I just feel it that instinct. Yeah.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, you have the instincts something I can't describe. You
<v Speaker 2>just know it. You just know it, like everything landed
<v Speaker 2>the way you're supposed to land in those and you
<v Speaker 2>can just be a fraction of a second off and
<v Speaker 2>the joke does not land the right that's right, that's right,
<v Speaker 2>it's and that's I think that's why I prefer being
<v Speaker 2>on stage with an audience, because you can tell when
<v Speaker 2>things are working and.
<v Speaker 1>Oh yeah, well they can't. They don't lie. No, they
<v Speaker 1>can't lie.
<v Speaker 2>They can't. Especially children. Oh, children are the most brutal audience.
<v Speaker 1>You will, yes, yes.
<v Speaker 2>And it's like if you hear them starting to just
<v Speaker 2>talk out there, you're like, oh gosh, I'm angry. Yep,
<v Speaker 2>you know, okay, we're boring them.
<v Speaker 1>Oh no, yeah, I have to go.
<v Speaker 2>Why is he taking so long?
<v Speaker 1>Oh yeah, you don't to hear that. You hold this, Yeah,
<v Speaker 1>here we go.
<v Speaker 2>But we had we had a day when we're filming
<v Speaker 2>ter for our three. We're filming in the mall, and
<v Speaker 2>they had a whole audience of people upstairs watching this film,
<v Speaker 2>and so I had that audience to play off of
<v Speaker 2>when I was doing on the stick in the Santa Seat,
<v Speaker 2>and so I was I was hearing the laughs and
<v Speaker 2>everything up there. I'm like, Oh, this is what I've
<v Speaker 2>been missing, this is what I've been missing. Yeah, it
<v Speaker 2>was just feeding me and I felt like that was
<v Speaker 2>one of my best days on sets.
<v Speaker 1>I was.
<v Speaker 2>I was on that day even like, you.
<v Speaker 3>Really only get that on an indie set too. It's true,
<v Speaker 3>you're not going to get on a big budget they're
<v Speaker 3>gonna have it blocked off, they're gonna have a whole
<v Speaker 3>location rented out.
<v Speaker 2>Whatever.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah that's a good point.
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, that's cool. That's a cool experience.
<v Speaker 2>It's nothing like audience.
<v Speaker 3>I don't think a lot of actors get to experience
<v Speaker 3>what you did there. That's really cool.
<v Speaker 2>Lucky. I was very lucky.
<v Speaker 3>It's funny too, because growing up I always thought that's
<v Speaker 3>like kind of what acting like. I thought there was
<v Speaker 3>like a lot of people watching a set. I thought
<v Speaker 3>there would be like a crowd around, and it's just
<v Speaker 3>not the case, like maybe like five or six people
<v Speaker 3>really know what's going on.
<v Speaker 2>That's when I know I've done something right too, is
<v Speaker 2>when I make the crew laugh because they've seen multiple
<v Speaker 2>takes and if they start laughing at something, I'm like, Okay.
<v Speaker 1>That worked.
<v Speaker 3>That works.
<v Speaker 2>So I usually now have to judge things of just
<v Speaker 2>how the crew reacts. Yeah, yeah, that's a good barometer.
<v Speaker 2>That's not bad. It's definitely a challenge though. It's definitely
<v Speaker 2>challenges something I've just had to learn to deal with
<v Speaker 2>over the years.
<v Speaker 4>Getting back to what you're saying earlier about the participation
<v Speaker 4>and everyone gets involved with this film, I also feel
<v Speaker 4>like the fans feel like they're involved as well, because
<v Speaker 4>you're touching earlier David Howe was very fan funded. I
<v Speaker 4>feel like many of the audience and the fans are terrified.
<v Speaker 4>I feel like this is their movie that they've helped
<v Speaker 4>create as well, and I think that's really helped the
<v Speaker 4>success of Number three.
<v Speaker 2>I would say so, as we are very, very interactive
<v Speaker 2>with our fan base too. There's actually a whole entire
<v Speaker 2>art the Clown Appreciation Society that is basically getting over
<v Speaker 2>thirty thousand members now. It's insane. Yeah, it's absolutely sane,
<v Speaker 2>and we try to interact as much as possible with
<v Speaker 2>these guys. I mean, we're always doing the conventions, and
<v Speaker 2>I'm i a lot of times that they have like
<v Speaker 2>after parties at the conventions. I usually try to go
<v Speaker 2>to the after parties just to hang out with the fans, like,
<v Speaker 2>oh yeah, sure, because it is it was the fans
<v Speaker 2>that got us to where we are. I mean that
<v Speaker 2>that's absolutely what happened. It was the fans that first
<v Speaker 2>got the studios to take notice of us too. So
<v Speaker 2>we try to be as interactive with the fans as
<v Speaker 2>much as possible because we truly appreciate.
<v Speaker 1>I have a little button says I'm vomited too, you
<v Speaker 1>know it would be great just cuge pine pin. Oh
<v Speaker 1>you too? Which scene was it? Oh? Yeah, me too?
<v Speaker 1>Yeah yeah, that's that's what it got me. I love.
<v Speaker 2>Also some videos I've seen where they like fans have
<v Speaker 2>taken videos of they bring their own family that have
<v Speaker 2>never seeing these movies before, Like this one person tricked
<v Speaker 2>her like sister or something like that and saying, oh no,
<v Speaker 2>it's a family Film's a Christmas family film. And she's
<v Speaker 2>filming here during the very first scene in the movie
<v Speaker 2>when little Timmy gets the axe and you do that's
<v Speaker 2>all off camera, so you only hear what's happening. And
<v Speaker 2>this woman's oh it is because especially with the sound
<v Speaker 2>design that we have in that scene, and her reaction
<v Speaker 2>is hysterical. She says, you said this was a family movie.
<v Speaker 1>It was a Manson family exactly. It depends on the family.
<v Speaker 1>That's the family that there's a family there.
<v Speaker 2>There's not having a very good.
<v Speaker 1>Night like this is an ex family.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, an Axe family too.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah.
<v Speaker 3>Well, we were thinking about doing this since Art has
<v Speaker 3>no voice and Jim has a million voices, we were
<v Speaker 3>thinking of taking this scene it's the greetings from Santa
<v Speaker 3>scene from hair Fire three and having Jim do a
<v Speaker 3>voice of what Art would sound like. What do you
<v Speaker 3>think of that?
<v Speaker 1>I love it?
<v Speaker 3>So here's the scene. Jim I got to pull.
<v Speaker 4>On my phone, has just said, have been done before, David,
<v Speaker 4>if you have a head arts potential voice?
<v Speaker 1>No, no, Hey, hey, boody, it's me. Pooter Doo dip doo,
<v Speaker 1>dip do dig a boo dip boo dig a boo
<v Speaker 1>dip boo boo boom.
<v Speaker 6>Hey, Neely, I mean cuckooo median we median, we need.
<v Speaker 2>O. That was my gosh. I am still this is
<v Speaker 2>like my kid is going crazy. Now you have no idea.
<v Speaker 1>That sounded like the inner workings of someone's colon.
<v Speaker 2>That shirt the clown.
<v Speaker 1>Here, I'll give you this.
<v Speaker 2>Oh my gosh, that's hysterical.
<v Speaker 4>No, well, we're doing gym in a terrifier in the future.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, do a little cameo that would be That would
<v Speaker 1>make me so happy. Yeah, well you can have a
<v Speaker 1>scene kill him, yeah, and I'll command what's going up
<v Speaker 1>and then then that'll be don't even get a whole
<v Speaker 1>line out, Hey, what's good? Hey? You kids can't be
<v Speaker 1>in you know.
<v Speaker 2>You have to get him with a jar of honey.
<v Speaker 1>Yes, oh, yes, with a jarney and let's get dangerous
<v Speaker 1>squadron of trained honey bees. Yes, and them up, kind
<v Speaker 1>of like Willard with the Rats only bees. We ruined
<v Speaker 1>your franchise and mine. Now, yeah, I think our work
<v Speaker 1>care is Oh yeah, I'm good at that.
<v Speaker 4>How is how is Terrified for going to evolve from
<v Speaker 4>Terrify three? Because I feel like h films different from
<v Speaker 4>the one that came before.
<v Speaker 2>Terrified so many unanswered questions. That's that we're going to
<v Speaker 2>start finally answering them in part four. Oh, we're even
<v Speaker 2>going to delve I think into his origin, and Damien
<v Speaker 2>explained to me how he's going to delve into that
<v Speaker 2>in a really unique way, which makes me very very excited.
<v Speaker 2>It's a very creative thing and that makes perfect sense
<v Speaker 2>with how Art is and I love this idea and
<v Speaker 2>says it's a new new cinographic style that we're going
<v Speaker 2>to do with that too, which I'm very excited about.
<v Speaker 1>So okay, and.
<v Speaker 2>Plus I'm excited to see where they're going to take
<v Speaker 2>Art in this one too, because that's when when I
<v Speaker 2>read the script for Part four, Part three, I I
<v Speaker 2>loved how it ended. That was the first draft. I
<v Speaker 2>was like, what, I know, you're probably gonna change other
<v Speaker 2>things of this, but do not change how this film ends,
<v Speaker 2>because I like how it ended with both the hero
<v Speaker 2>and the villain both being not back a lot that
<v Speaker 2>they are. You know, both have lost their powers. They're
<v Speaker 2>both on you know, death door in a lot of
<v Speaker 2>ways too, and they're they're both in very vulnerable places,
<v Speaker 2>and I'm like, that's gonna be an interesting place to
<v Speaker 2>go forward with these characters, Like, Okay, where are we
<v Speaker 2>going to take them? They've both lost something that they
<v Speaker 2>need it back. Very excited to see what ever become
<v Speaker 2>the hero. Do you think no, no, no, no, no, no,
<v Speaker 2>no no no, it's not that unexpected. Yeah. Oh man,
<v Speaker 2>we definitely don't want people to feel sympathy for this character.
<v Speaker 2>He's he's just vile, disgusting, just evil.
<v Speaker 1>Well, I think you're you're in good shape. Thank you.
<v Speaker 1>I have good news for you. You're in no danger
<v Speaker 1>of being raising a sympathetic eye.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah kidding.
<v Speaker 3>Here as a Facebook group with thirty thousand people.
<v Speaker 1>That's a lot of there's a lot of tea and sympathy.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I'll take it.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I do you like tea?
<v Speaker 4>Do you feel like a do you feel like a terrified?
<v Speaker 4>Interactive film?
<v Speaker 2>Could work?
<v Speaker 4>If you're seeing Netflix do them a bit now where
<v Speaker 4>pretty much choose your own adventure, but it could be
<v Speaker 4>choose your own grotesque death.
<v Speaker 2>That's crazy, that feels that's interesting. That would be interesting though.
<v Speaker 3>Which the only one I know of is Black Mirror?
<v Speaker 3>Which other ones are they?
<v Speaker 4>It's mostly because I've got kids, obviously, the kids watching
<v Speaker 4>kids show and my kids watch and they choose what happens,
<v Speaker 4>and they choose the wrong thing.
<v Speaker 2>The kids die.
<v Speaker 3>You know, do you remember when Black Mirror did that
<v Speaker 3>a few years ago?
<v Speaker 4>You say them die, but I head towards Donosaur and
<v Speaker 4>you know it's not going to end pretty basically.
<v Speaker 2>Hold on your but was Black Mirror?
<v Speaker 3>Yeah? Do you remember that black? When Black Mirror did
<v Speaker 3>that a few years ago on Netflix. I feel like
<v Speaker 3>that fell flat on its face. I felt like, that's a.
<v Speaker 2>Hard thing to do.
<v Speaker 3>It's very hard.
<v Speaker 2>I can imagine what that's like the film something like that, Right,
<v Speaker 2>that's got to be very challenging.
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I'm trying to keep.
<v Speaker 2>All that straight in your head. As an attricate. Where
<v Speaker 2>am I at this point? What? Because you're doing so
<v Speaker 2>many very I.
<v Speaker 3>Think it translates really well to gaming. There was a
<v Speaker 3>there was a great choose your adventure game called Black
<v Speaker 3>Black Noir.
<v Speaker 1>L a Noir.
<v Speaker 3>Nore l a Noire is a great game. Detroit Becomes
<v Speaker 3>Humans a great game both, like you control the entire storyline, like.
<v Speaker 2>Just based off your story.
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I love that. I love that too. It really
<v Speaker 3>reminded me of like what Brendan was saying, like to
<v Speaker 3>choose your own adventure novels.
<v Speaker 2>That we grew up with.
<v Speaker 3>You remember those? I love ye? Yes, exactly as well. Yeah,
<v Speaker 3>flipped to age sixty eight. If you chose this and
<v Speaker 3>age one two. Yeah, it's like, let me go back
<v Speaker 3>and redecide.
<v Speaker 2>You would always put your finger there just in case
<v Speaker 2>so you can go back.
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, let's see what would have happened by that.
<v Speaker 2>I have like multiple fingers in the book at one
<v Speaker 2>point because I would go to this and this.
<v Speaker 1>Very yeah, yeah, oh that's funny.
<v Speaker 2>Got kids into reading.
<v Speaker 3>So that would be cool with a horror genre, though.
<v Speaker 3>That would be really cool with a horror genre.
<v Speaker 2>Oh, very that would work very well. Just like, okay,
<v Speaker 2>would you survive until don until until that's yeah? Yeah.
<v Speaker 2>I actually I got through that game without any guides
<v Speaker 2>and I and didn't do anything cheating wise, and I
<v Speaker 2>got everybody to survive. Really, I was so impressed with myself.
<v Speaker 1>Wow. Yeah, I was like that.
<v Speaker 3>They did a great job with a suspense in that
<v Speaker 3>game too. That was a well done game.
<v Speaker 2>Did I thought that was very clever. Though. I like
<v Speaker 2>these these developers out there that really do these very story.
<v Speaker 3>Oriented games in that way. Me too, Yeah, I love
<v Speaker 3>a good story. Yeah, you play, you play video games?
<v Speaker 2>I do. I've been playing Star Wars Outlaws a lot
<v Speaker 2>o nice nice, I hear something.
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, Jim has a little something cooking. I don't know
<v Speaker 3>how much. I don't know how much you can say. Yeah,
<v Speaker 3>I don't know how much you can say about that,
<v Speaker 3>but too much.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, we have to hurry up and wait. Yeah, oh
<v Speaker 1>very much, so very much.
<v Speaker 3>Yeah.
<v Speaker 4>But you've been a film coming out soon, have a
<v Speaker 4>new David All. We're gonna be working on it. I'm
<v Speaker 4>not sure if you actually filmed it yet, the Disney
<v Speaker 4>kind of film.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, don't hate me?
<v Speaker 1>What's that? Hate me? Okay? Screen boat Willie oh by.
<v Speaker 2>W Yeah yeah, ow oh oh boy.
<v Speaker 1>It was Yeah.
<v Speaker 2>I filmed that this summer when I first moved here.
<v Speaker 2>They filmed everything else in New York, but they filmed
<v Speaker 2>me on the soundstage because I'm this tiny little mouse
<v Speaker 2>going around. I'll have to show you a photo what
<v Speaker 2>I look like in the costume.
<v Speaker 1>But so I see, so it's not animated.
<v Speaker 2>You're actually full costume, four hours of makeup, oh man,
<v Speaker 2>full for costume. It looks amazing.
<v Speaker 3>Is it like a Blood and Honey type deal?
<v Speaker 2>It's it's a horror comedy. Yeah, there's this was made
<v Speaker 2>by a bunch of people that love Disney.
<v Speaker 1>Is that already? Don't I don't know what's already.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. I like that, but it's it's a lot of
<v Speaker 2>Disney jokes in there, referencing the different films, the company itself, all.
<v Speaker 1>That Honey was so wonderful, don't oh my gosh. Yeah.
<v Speaker 2>Then we just we went a little crazy with it.
<v Speaker 2>But it's like, that's it. I can't take this because
<v Speaker 2>I know other people to do these things, they take
<v Speaker 2>them away too serious. I was like, no, this is
<v Speaker 2>this is just pure fun and silliness and let's just
<v Speaker 2>have it. But it's a good story in it too,
<v Speaker 2>which surprised me. When I read the script. I was like, kidding,
<v Speaker 2>I'm surryed.
<v Speaker 1>There's a whole reason.
<v Speaker 2>Will he's doing what he's doing on the boat, and
<v Speaker 2>you're like, oh, it makes sense. I'm like, okay, steamboat. Will,
<v Speaker 2>He's going to a lot of whistling. I did a
<v Speaker 2>lot of whistling. I did the a d R for
<v Speaker 2>that a few weeks ago, and it's hard to do
<v Speaker 2>inflections with whistling. Discovering.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, it's a lot to.
<v Speaker 2>Do that, like such as just trying to like, okay,
<v Speaker 2>we want you to be angry while you're whistling, and
<v Speaker 2>I'm like, okay, it's it's hard. It's like something I
<v Speaker 2>never really thought about. I'm like, yeah, because you can
<v Speaker 2>only do I mean.
<v Speaker 1>There's only what's an angry whistling. Yeah, you can't be
<v Speaker 1>you can't whistle and be angry. That's the problems because
<v Speaker 1>your mouth has different there's definitely a challenge. So I
<v Speaker 1>was like, well, I hope this is coming out right,
<v Speaker 1>but I do a lot. I don't really talk and
<v Speaker 1>that I just do a lot of It sounds like
<v Speaker 1>that the whole entire time, like Mickey's demented cousin.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, pretty much, Peyton.
<v Speaker 4>Is Pete in there? Because Jim is Pete.
<v Speaker 2>Pete is in it. But it's not a cat in
<v Speaker 2>this one, Oh it is. It's just a human. Oh yeah,
<v Speaker 2>but yeah, Pete's in it. Pete is in it. Wow,
<v Speaker 2>it's Peter.
<v Speaker 1>But you know, all right, now, who's Pete? Damn it.
<v Speaker 2>He's a guy on the ship who he's won the
<v Speaker 2>guys on the ship.
<v Speaker 1>Just a guy on the ship.
<v Speaker 2>He's one of the workers. Oh okay, I don't want
<v Speaker 2>to spoil things, so okay, I know I'll tell you.
<v Speaker 2>Then I'll tell all of you.
<v Speaker 1>So oh no, I can so many trouble.
<v Speaker 2>Everybody, But it's actually this This role is actually a
<v Speaker 2>full circle moment for me too, because the first big
<v Speaker 2>role I ever played on stage was back in eighth grade.
<v Speaker 2>This is my mom so because I was bullied a
<v Speaker 2>lot growing up. I was a tiny little guy, glasses
<v Speaker 2>braces in Alabama, not very athletic, and so you were
<v Speaker 2>begging oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah. And I was
<v Speaker 2>always funny at home. I was doing silly voices and
<v Speaker 2>stuff like that had everybody laughing. My mom was like,
<v Speaker 2>have have your classmates ever seen this side of you?
<v Speaker 2>I was like, no, No one wants me to talk
<v Speaker 2>at school. So I was always very quiet at school.
<v Speaker 2>And it's like, well, your choral program this year is
<v Speaker 2>doing Mickey's Christmas Carol. You do a great Mickey Mouse.
<v Speaker 2>You should go out and audition for this. And I'm
<v Speaker 2>like okay, and I did, and I got the role
<v Speaker 2>of Mickey. You know, oh that's Bob cratch It. And
<v Speaker 2>we're doing the show and they start to go wrong.
<v Speaker 2>The set falls down on Scrooge and I at one point,
<v Speaker 2>and I was like, I didn't miss beat. I was like, oh,
<v Speaker 2>mister Scrooge, I think we have rats. And then would
<v Speaker 2>do this, Oh no, definitely rats, definitely rats. And like
<v Speaker 2>we were having the Crotchet family dinner and our meager
<v Speaker 2>little chicken and the table broke and it shot the
<v Speaker 2>chicken over the audience and I didn't miss a beat.
<v Speaker 1>Again.
<v Speaker 2>Oh it looks like we're having fast food tonight, folks.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, and it was an accident, the damn chicken.
<v Speaker 3>Yeah. Wow.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah.
<v Speaker 2>I had everybody just laughing right there. It was just wonderful.
<v Speaker 2>I mean it was it was great, and it was
<v Speaker 2>like the first time of that school I'd had people
<v Speaker 2>laughing with me instead of at me, And I love
<v Speaker 2>that feeling. And that's why I was like, I want
<v Speaker 2>to do more of this. I like to make people laugh.
<v Speaker 1>I want to do this more.
<v Speaker 2>And so that's when she really encouraged me to start
<v Speaker 2>the community.
<v Speaker 1>You know, if I can cont somebody into paying me
<v Speaker 1>boom exactly. Yeah. Yeah, So that's it.
<v Speaker 2>That's why I love that I got to do this
<v Speaker 2>version of Mickey. In a way, it's like this is
<v Speaker 2>a full circle moment. This is the character that really
<v Speaker 2>got me into doing theater to begin with.

<v Speaker 2>My first voice ever did was Goofy. First grade.
<v Speaker 1>Oh yeah.
<v Speaker 2>I was sitting there and my class was having story
<v Speaker 2>time and my teacher was reading us on Mickey Mouse's book,
<v Speaker 2>and this girl had a crush on the class pass
<v Speaker 2>me a note.
<v Speaker 1>Oh well, Goofy, is your guy a girl? I mean,
<v Speaker 1>oh yeah, you want to hear my Goofy? Yeah? I
<v Speaker 1>mean you're in Oh you are?
<v Speaker 2>And that's what happened. She gave me the note, I
<v Speaker 2>read it and asked me if I would be her boyfriend.
<v Speaker 2>I just thought it was a Gorsh yep, and I
<v Speaker 2>didn't know I had that in Oh wow, And I
<v Speaker 2>was like, oh, where did this come from? Well that's
<v Speaker 2>pretty good and that's what. Then the next year's when
<v Speaker 2>Roger Rabbit came out, and that's what got mel Blank
<v Speaker 2>doing all the voices for Looney to It's like Wow.
<v Speaker 2>You mean there's a guy that can do all these voices,
<v Speaker 2>and that's what one made me get pay him and
<v Speaker 2>like him exactly. Yeah, and that's when then I learned
<v Speaker 2>about you, and you know, of course Dall's butler and
<v Speaker 2>you know all the great Yeah, amazing.
<v Speaker 1>That's kind of what happened to me. I remember I
<v Speaker 1>said it before. I don't want to repeat too much,
<v Speaker 1>but I was five years old and saw mel blank
<v Speaker 1>and under Jack Benny program, and my dad told me
<v Speaker 1>who he was. And the first thing I thought was, well,
<v Speaker 1>he doesn't have to stand in the corner for being weird.
<v Speaker 1>I'll do that. So if somebody will pay, he's make
<v Speaker 1>I figured he was making good money. Yeah, he was
<v Speaker 1>on TV. Good enough for me. Yeah, it's fun. Yeah,
<v Speaker 1>it's fun.
<v Speaker 2>It's fun. I would sit there, and just after that,
<v Speaker 2>I just start trying to learn how to do voices.
<v Speaker 2>I just I just I could. It was like my
<v Speaker 2>I always call it my autism superpower. I can do
<v Speaker 2>good at mimicry and I can just hear voices and
<v Speaker 2>I can mimic them and I don't know how I
<v Speaker 2>do it, and I would just sit there.
<v Speaker 1>It was a pretty good goof for you.
<v Speaker 2>Just thank you, thank you. I'll take that.
<v Speaker 1>I'll take that. Now. Let's hear your Winnie the pooh.
<v Speaker 1>Oh okay, that's terrible. Yeah, it's just that was actually
<v Speaker 1>really good. Thank you. I don't ever do it again.
<v Speaker 2>No, I won't. I'm not going to take your job.
<v Speaker 1>Don't worry. Okay, no, no, no, I feel much better. Yeah, no, no, no,
<v Speaker 1>it's like his.
<v Speaker 2>I think I would be more in competition with Brian
<v Speaker 2>Hole too right now, because I know he's doing a
<v Speaker 2>lot of imitations and that he's a YouTuber. He does
<v Speaker 2>a lot of he does a lot of Disney voices especially.
<v Speaker 2>He's very good. He's very good.
<v Speaker 1>Oh oh yeah, I think somebody's messed it. Yeah, well,
<v Speaker 1>good for him.
<v Speaker 2>But that's the thing, just like you can learn those voices,
<v Speaker 2>good for him. You can take those voice exactly, but
<v Speaker 2>take those and adapt them into others. And that's what
<v Speaker 2>I've done over the years. I've taken those voices and
<v Speaker 2>done variations. Oh found ways, so like okay, I can
<v Speaker 2>turn it, twist it this way, and make it into this.
<v Speaker 1>Type of yeah. Oh, that's that's what I've been doing forever. Yeah,
<v Speaker 1>you know, if you do and I have my little
<v Speaker 1>mini philosophy. I don't want to bore everybody all over again.
<v Speaker 1>But if you do a great impression of somebody good,
<v Speaker 1>if you do a terrible impression, nobody even knows you're doing,
<v Speaker 1>that's new character. And then you can put two characters,
<v Speaker 1>very famous people together, put them all together, and that's
<v Speaker 1>a new character.
<v Speaker 2>Exactly, so exactly.
<v Speaker 1>You know, it's all these little little tricks, little tricks
<v Speaker 1>refine it, but you never know why they'll take you. Yeah, yeah,
<v Speaker 1>not problem here quick, but yeah, yeah, very cool. So
<v Speaker 1>what's what's happening next week? Should we tout some future.
<v Speaker 3>If you have any conventions, anything, website or anything you
<v Speaker 3>want to.
<v Speaker 1>Just the movie? When's that coming out?
<v Speaker 2>The screen Boat comes out in January in theater. Okay,
<v Speaker 2>so that's that's coming out. Then they're still negotiating right
<v Speaker 2>now on the release date because I think they had
<v Speaker 2>a release date, but now there's another movie coming out
<v Speaker 2>at the time that they don't want to compete with
<v Speaker 2>that one. So we'll see what happens.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, yeah, it's always that.
<v Speaker 4>And then when does terrify a four stop filming?
<v Speaker 2>I know Damon's about to start writing it soon, so
<v Speaker 2>I'm I'm anticipating starting that probably in the fall or
<v Speaker 2>early twenty twenty six, start filming that, so we'll see
<v Speaker 2>where all that goes. And I have no idea what else.
<v Speaker 2>I mean, I've had other people throwing some scripts at
<v Speaker 2>me and stuff like that, but I've wanted to take
<v Speaker 2>a break for the rest of the year just so
<v Speaker 2>I could because I had so many press junkets and
<v Speaker 2>stuff like that and conventions. I was like, I'm just
<v Speaker 2>gonna I told my agent, just like, let's hold off
<v Speaker 2>on things for right now and we could start in
<v Speaker 2>the new year and see what comes around. But I mean,
<v Speaker 2>there are other hopes and dreams I have, And of
<v Speaker 2>course my my ultimate role they want to play is
<v Speaker 2>the Joker in some shape or form, So I'd love
<v Speaker 2>to bring him to life. And a lot of that's
<v Speaker 2>not bad because he's my favorite villain's my favorite Yeah.
<v Speaker 1>I could see that.
<v Speaker 2>Well.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, and you're used to working in white face, I am.
<v Speaker 4>We'll get in trouble for a white face either, terrified
<v Speaker 4>for this is the first time one of your films
<v Speaker 4>has had the expectation of success.
<v Speaker 2>I think, so I'd like Damian and I were talking
<v Speaker 2>about that last night. It's like, you know, it's like,
<v Speaker 2>no matter what we do, I mean, we're not going
<v Speaker 2>to let that be a factor in it. But like,
<v Speaker 2>no matter what we do, there's terrifying for is probably
<v Speaker 2>going to be a success in that just because the
<v Speaker 2>hype alone. But but we don't want to rely on that.
<v Speaker 2>We still want to and just.
<v Speaker 1>Well you want to get out there and earn it.
<v Speaker 1>You don't want to coast.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, you don't. You know, I think anybody death, Yeah
<v Speaker 2>you don't. That's that's that's that's a horrible way to
<v Speaker 2>go about things. You always want to improve on yourself.
<v Speaker 2>You never want to just wrestle in your laurels. There's
<v Speaker 2>always there's always places to improve, there's always ways to
<v Speaker 2>do things better.
<v Speaker 1>It's got to be a better way to strangle someone.
<v Speaker 1>You gotta be you gotta be the right torque. You know.
<v Speaker 1>Oh man, I love it because you know, probably one
<v Speaker 1>of the most frightening characters out there. And here you're
<v Speaker 1>you're like Fred McMurray, you're this great guy. Everybody's name,
<v Speaker 1>yeah there's a reference, oh man, but in other words,
<v Speaker 1>a really nice guy. And here you are, and you know,
<v Speaker 1>Son of Satan is so weird how that goes.
<v Speaker 2>But that's something I've noticed too, is most of these
<v Speaker 2>men that play all these monsters and movies in real life,
<v Speaker 2>they hear the sweetest, kindest people you'll meet, and which
<v Speaker 2>is which is great? And might want decided I want to.
<v Speaker 2>I wonder about Peter Lorie though I don't know.
<v Speaker 1>I think he was. He was. He had to have
<v Speaker 1>been a little.
<v Speaker 2>Oh my god, so you never I don't know he
<v Speaker 2>was funny though, but he was fun Oh boy, he was.
<v Speaker 2>What was that movie that he and no, not not
<v Speaker 2>that one, but he and Vincent Price in bors Car
<v Speaker 2>Knows a comedy though, a comedy of terrors that they
<v Speaker 2>did together. You need to watch this movie though. It's
<v Speaker 2>him Karloff, Vincent Price.
<v Speaker 1>Oh boy, and I think total funny.
<v Speaker 2>Many types, yeah, but a bunch of hard legend to get.
<v Speaker 2>But it's a comedy. It's about a mortician that is
<v Speaker 2>losing business. He's he owes a lot of money to people,
<v Speaker 2>so he starts to kill people so he has more business.
<v Speaker 2>And so it's Vincent Price as the mortician and Peter
<v Speaker 2>Laurie plays his assistant and the two of them together
<v Speaker 2>are hysterical. Oh my God.
<v Speaker 3>You know, there's almost the concept of Bob's Burger's, you
<v Speaker 3>know the current soon that's right. They was, Yeah, their
<v Speaker 3>burger shop was right next to a cemetery, and it
<v Speaker 3>was implied that they would just cook the dead body. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
<v Speaker 3>And you can still see in the opening, you know,
<v Speaker 3>Bob's Burgers is right next door to the Morgan or.
<v Speaker 2>The cemetery whatever, crematorium.
<v Speaker 3>Crematorium.
<v Speaker 2>That makes sense. Well, I had like my first neighborhood
<v Speaker 2>in Queens. When I lived there, they had a Chinese
<v Speaker 2>restaurant right next to a pet store and I'm like, oh,
<v Speaker 2>that's unfortunate.
<v Speaker 3>The pets.
<v Speaker 1>Oh no, it's all I can do. Had a bunch
<v Speaker 1>of terrible things shoot into my head. Oh yeah, and
<v Speaker 1>a terrible Chinese accent, and somebody else filled.
<v Speaker 2>In the.
<v Speaker 1>Stereo.
<v Speaker 2>Oh don't want to get canceled.
<v Speaker 1>Really nice and anyway, So before I kill again, I
<v Speaker 1>just am so glad you made it here. Yeah.
<v Speaker 4>What do you think, Brendan, Huh, it's been fantastic. I
<v Speaker 4>mean art the clown is arguably the most famous figure
<v Speaker 4>in Hollywood at the moment. Everyone just wants a piece
<v Speaker 4>of art the clowns. It would have so thankful that
<v Speaker 4>he gave us the time here today.
<v Speaker 2>Really appreciate it very well, very well. Yeah, this has
<v Speaker 2>been so much fun. I'm so glad I was able
<v Speaker 2>to actually carve some time out to come in.
<v Speaker 1>Amen. Yeah, and I'm need to give us some art.
<v Speaker 2>The clown work.
<v Speaker 4>You know, what what does he look like with that?
<v Speaker 4>The makeup when he's doing the poses and whatnot, the smile.
<v Speaker 2>You know, he's just got a regular nine to five
<v Speaker 2>job and some like weird office, you know, making staplers
<v Speaker 2>or something.
<v Speaker 1>And then you've got those contacts in there. And I mean,
<v Speaker 1>and that I always wonder about that. For some reason,
<v Speaker 1>I go right to the contacts. I hate those, Is
<v Speaker 1>that right?
<v Speaker 2>I was lucky though on screen Boat I because I
<v Speaker 2>had to wear squirrel lenses for that, and I had
<v Speaker 2>a wonderful lens tech on there, like so every ten
<v Speaker 2>men's he's just coming over to my eyes and so
<v Speaker 2>I had no problems that time. Yeah, So I was like,
<v Speaker 2>oh I need you on part four.
<v Speaker 1>Wow, so fantastic. Well, thank you brother.
<v Speaker 4>Just before you were telling us, just before we got
<v Speaker 4>into the air, the story about the eyelash in the eye,
<v Speaker 4>I feel we need to touch on that just to
<v Speaker 4>sort of give her some props.
<v Speaker 1>Oh yeah, she Oh she's a trooper. Oh.
<v Speaker 2>Samantha Scaffiti, who played Victoria, is the MVP of Terrifier three.
<v Speaker 2>It's like the things that this poor woman would endure
<v Speaker 2>on a daily basis. Her makeup process took about eight
<v Speaker 2>hours every single day because it's not just her face,
<v Speaker 2>but her legs and arms were all covered in prosthetics
<v Speaker 2>and she only had one little hole that she could
<v Speaker 2>see out of from one eye, so the other eyes
<v Speaker 2>completely covered up.
<v Speaker 1>Oh wow.
<v Speaker 2>So it was, like she said, it was like looking
<v Speaker 2>through a straw the whole entire time. And it was
<v Speaker 2>hard for her just to, you know, for any depth
<v Speaker 2>perception on set for anything she was doing. And I
<v Speaker 2>know how bad that it was because in the first
<v Speaker 2>two films there was like a scene or so where
<v Speaker 2>I had my eye gouged out, and it was my
<v Speaker 2>good eye, so I had to look at everything through
<v Speaker 2>my bad eye and it was horrible. So she had
<v Speaker 2>it even worse than I did. But she had this
<v Speaker 2>one day on set where right after she got on set,
<v Speaker 2>she had an eyelash go into her eye that was
<v Speaker 2>fully covered up and there was no way that they
<v Speaker 2>could get to her eye without removing the whole entire prosthetic,
<v Speaker 2>which would have taken another few hours to get her
<v Speaker 2>back in, which we did not have. And so she's like, Okay,
<v Speaker 2>I'll just try to blank it out, and she just
<v Speaker 2>could not get it out of her eye. So she
<v Speaker 2>had to go through the whole entire day with this
<v Speaker 2>eyelash in her eye, and her eye was just so
<v Speaker 2>swollen by the end of the day, and I just
<v Speaker 2>felt so bad for her, but she is such a trooper.
<v Speaker 2>She just dealt with it and moved on just.
<v Speaker 1>A gallon of ian.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. Just I think she even internalized it in some
<v Speaker 2>ways for her character, just to make herself more manic
<v Speaker 2>and crazy, because she was just trying to keep her
<v Speaker 2>sanity right there anyway. But I have to give her
<v Speaker 2>profts for that. That's a lot to endure, and she
<v Speaker 2>looks fantastic and I think she gets such a great performance.
<v Speaker 2>So I'm I've been so happy because, like I've done
<v Speaker 2>several conventions with her before the movie came out, because
<v Speaker 2>she was awesome in the first two films, and I've
<v Speaker 2>been so happy to see what a following now she has.
<v Speaker 2>At the other conventions. Now, she had a massive line
<v Speaker 2>in this past week's convention. I was so happy for her.
<v Speaker 2>So it was great. It was just so great. So
<v Speaker 2>I love her.
