Icons of Fright recently did an in depth
interview with my sorry ass
(click here to read it) to yap about my roots, this horror frat house, Deaden’s
upcoming US DVD release and beyond.
Here’s an excerpt:
What are your earliest recollections of the horror
genre? What were the first films that really scared or had an impact or
influence on you?
That’s an easy one. The first horror film I ever saw was The
Evil Dead. I was fairly young and in a cabin in the woods with a friend of mine
and when his parents went to sleep, we snuck up to his living room to watch The
Evil Dead and it scared the shit out of me! (laughs)
So, you watched The Evil Dead IN a cabin?!
Yes! That was my first initiation into horror. If I don’t count all the
Chuck Norris movies. After that it was A Nightmare On Elm Street. When it had
come out in theaters it was the big taboo film within my family. Everyone had
seen it, but no one under the age of 18 was allowed to see it. So, I went to my
Aunt’s house and she had a copy and we sneaked it on and watched it. It scared
the living fuck out of me. (laughs) I was hooked after that.
