 BAD
TASTE Cast - These interviews were conducted through many emails with Pete
O'Herne, Craig Smith, and Mike Minett. Don't remember when exactly these
interviews were done, but I think it was somewhere late in 1999. We also
had plenty of photos that Pete O'Herne had sent us to use for the interivews.
But those were lost in a hard drive crash. But the interview and a couple
of the photos are still intact, and still should be interesting and enjoyable to
fans of BAD TASTE and Peter Jackson.
 JONATHAN
BRECK - Breck's name became known to horror fans as
the man behind the makeup in Victor Salva's JEEPERS CREEPERS movies. This
interview was conducted at the Flashback Weekend, on June 14th, 2003, where
Breck was nice enough to grant us a few minutes to talk to him about playing
this wonderful creature, and the pains involved in making this type of monster
movie.
 DOUGLAS BUCK & JOHN FREITAS
- Looking for a series of short films that you will never forget? Then
check out Family Portraits: An American Trilogy. Buck is one of the
most promising up-and-coming directors out there. His films pack a punch,
and a meaning. Something that most of Hollywood has forgotten how, or
never knew to begin with.
We had a chance to catch up with Buck and his partner John
Freitas at Fangoria's Weekend of Horrors in Chicago, in February '08. He
was there promoting his newest film, the remake of Sisters. We
asked him not only about his new vision of this classic film, but also his
powerful short films, as well as making independent films.
CORALINA CATALDI-TASSONI - Every fan of Italian
horror should know her name, especially if you're a fan of Dario Argento.
The lovely Coralina has been in Argento's OPERA, THE PHANTOM OF THE OPERA, and
THE MOTHER OF TEARS. She also starred in Lamberto Bava's DEMONS 2.
Coralina sat down with us in November of 2002 to let her know
her thoughts about her film career as well as her musical career. You
won't find a more real and more sweeter person to talk to than Coralina.
There's a reason why fans love her.
 CHARLES B. GRIFFITH
- Fans of Roger Corman's work will know the work of this man of many talents, if
not his name. Most notably, Griffith was a screenwriter, coming up with
such Corman classics as LITTLE SHOP OF HORRORS, BUCKET OF BLOOD, NOT OF THIS
EARTH, ATTACK OF THE CRAB MONSTERS, and even DEATH RACE 2000.
This interview was conducted at the Cinema Wasteland show in
April of 2007. Later that year, in September, Griffith passed way of a
heart attack. His talent will be missed, but his work will live on in the
hearts of fans like us.
 JACK
HILL - This was our very first interview, and I don't think we could have
picked a nicer guy. Once again, Hill's name is very well known in the
exploitation film industry, cranking out many great movies, most notably SPIDER
BABY, COFFEY, BIG BIRD CAGE, and working with Boris Karloff on his last films.
This interview was done in June on 1999, and was at the time
that SPIDER BABY was getting a it's first DVD release. So most of the
interview dealt with SPIDER BABY and also working with Karloff.
 JULIET
MILLS - While most people might know Juliet Mills from the many TV shows
that she's been on, us horror fans remember her from BEYOND THE DOOR, the
Italian film inspired by THE EXORCIST. I remember watching this one on TV
for the first time and
having the crap scared out of me.
We met up with Mills at a small movie memorabilia show in the
Chicagoland area, in November of 2005. She was gracious enough to spend
few minutes with us to talk about her memories about BEYOND THE DOOR.
 CAROLINE MUNRO - Any fan of Hammer
Studios knows who Caroline Munro is from her work on DRACULA 72 A.D. and CAPTAIN
KRONOS: VAMPIRE HUNTER. But she has also worked all over the world, with
many different genre icons. People like Jess Franco, Paul Naschy and Luigi
Cozzi.
It was at the Cinema Wasteland show in April of 2007 that we
sat down with her for a few minutes to ask her about working in many different
counties and with so many talented people.
 ANDREW PRINE
- Another genre icon from the 70's & 80's, Andrew Prine has been in tons of
entertaining movies. Just look up his filmography. GRIZZLY.
AMITYVILLE II, THE EVIL, and even the TV mini-series V. You can always
count on a good time when Prine is on the screen.
It was in April of 2005 when we had the chance to spend a few
minutes with Prine and get his thoughts on some of his many genre titles.
JENNIFER RUBIN - Fans of the NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET series will know
Jennifer Rubin from her role as one of the Dream Warriors in NIGHTMARE ON ELM
STREET 3: THE DREAM WARRIORS. Other genre films that she's been in are BAD
DREAMS, SCREAMERS, and the remake of THE WASP WOMAN.
We sat down were her in December of 2006 to talk about being
a Dream Warrior and some of her other movies.
TOM SULLIVAN - If it wasn't for the incredible work
of Tom Sullivan, who knows if EVIL DEAD would have been as big as a success that
it was, still astounding audiences more than 20 years later. With no money
and very little time, Sullivan delivered the goods when it came to the blood and
gore, and some incredible stop animation work.
He is a regular at the Cinema Wasteland shows, as well as
other conventions throughout the year. If you ever get a chance to see him
at one of these, especially if he's bringing along his EVIL DEAD museum, make
sure you stop by and talk to him. As you can tell from this interview,
he's got some great stories to tell.
