I Heart Monster Movies

[MUSIC PLAYING] MAN: Tell me why you

like horror movies. -My name is Anakin, and

I like horror movies because the amount of

people that get murdered. - --to metal one week,

then goth, or, like, glam-rock, but I'm

still into horror. [MUSIC PLAYING] - --a culture surrounding

it that is very enjoyable and, you know, oddly positive. [MUSIC PLAYING] - --bloody, it's kind of

sexy in this weird way. [MUSIC PLAYING] -Watching a good

horror movie will give you a-- a brain orgasm. -I just like watching

people die pretty much. [MUSIC PLAYING] -A horror fan? Hell yeah. I'm a monster a kid. Aren't you a monster a kid? -From the outside

looking in, they think they're all a

bunch of, you know, slobering, crazed idiots. Um, some of them are. -A lot of improv was encouraged. And that produced things

like, you know, e-x-i-t, exit. You know, which

was basically a tip of the hat to "Sesame Street." -Pretend, like for

instance in reality, that 99.9% of the human

population never heard of me, or thinks I'm a dead French guy. -Sid Haig is the only

man on the planet that can say that he worked with

Lon Chaney, Jr. And Rob Zombie. And I am. -My favorite type

of horror film-- it's usually

psychological actually, the horror that's implied

rather than shown. -I like to do a

trash with a Linda Hamilton Terminator Twist. Something like that I think

would be, like, my dream role. -You know, I think

I'm a good screamer. [MUSIC PLAYING] - --horror stuff, but you also

like, I don't know, rainbows. - --kicked out of here if

I answer that honestly. I'm really not a horror fan. I never have been. -They not only remember

anything I did, they remembered sh*t I

didn't even remember doing. -Horror films are my life,

um, because I make them. [SCREAMING] -What am I looking at? I felt like I'd

been shown much more than I was supposed to see. -(SINGING) One, two,

Freddy's coming for you. Three, four, better

lock her door. -The scariest horror

movie I've ever seen would have to be Twilight. -(SINGING) Five, six,

better get your crucifix. Seven, eight, stay up late. -I always wanted to watch

them just to be scared, to see how scared I could

really get and stay that way. -(SINGING) Nine, ten,

never sleep again. -We had gone way beyond

The Three Little Pigs, and way beyond, some of

the other fairy tales. -You can kind of

escape your daily life, and-- and, you know, scare

yourself a little bit. I think if you're

always on edge, a little bit fear

is good in life. -People see it, and they're

like oh, do you like to cook? I'm like, no, I like

axe-murdering maniacs. [MUSIC PLAYING] -I heart monster movies. MAN: Alright, and got it. -So my first horror movie was

"Nightmare on Elm Street," and that scared the crap out of

me, because Freddy Krueger is really scary, and he's

really gross looking. -Johnny Depp's eaten

by the bed, I just have, like, vivid

memories from childhood of having these horrible

nightmares of getting eaten by the bed and blood

squirting all over my room. -It's kinda cool how,

like, when you fall asleep, and then Freddy

kinda comes for you. -I'm really picky when

it comes to my horror. Like, it has to be good, or

I will not sit through it. - --anything that's

scary and creepy, possibly sexy in

there somewhere. - --things like "It." I don't like clowns. - --and the clown

were, like, awful, and I would not watch a horror

movie for years after that. - --going out in the

rain, seeing, like, storm drains and just

thinking of clowns. -My mother came into the

shower when I was a kid and would throw balloons up,

and start making the sounds that the clowns did

on the movie "It." Scared the hell out of me. Yeah. -They come in-- in--

in all walks of life. I have teachers, and soccer

moms, and lawyers, and-- -So I'm pretty much just

a-- a-- a mild fan, I guess, when it comes to horror movies. I like to go and watch them. It doesn't really

influence my life. - --not a uber fan, like, I

have many friends who are. -Basically grew up

watching horror, I think, like a lot of kids do. -Well, I wouldn't

consider myself to be a fan of horror movies. -I'm a definite horror fan. I went to the drive-ins. -I hate horror movies. -People actually say

they think, like, my house looks like

a Halloween house, because I have skulls

hanging in cages outside of-- all year round. -I've always been into the

macabre, anything that's really spooky, and scary,

and stuff like that. -I like horror films

because-- a real horror film, not a slasher film. -Oddly enough, even though

I love horror films, I don't handle gore that well. - --the American stuff, which

is more just straight blood and guts-- which, I mean

I can appreciate, too. -Gotta have blood. Lots of blood. -As long as it's horror,

I'm pretty happy person. Yes. [MUSIC PLAYING] -Hi, mom. -My name is Annie

Violet, and I am here at the Seattle Zombie Con. So, I'm from

southern California. So, drove all the way up

here just to see everyone, and, like, hang out

and see all the panels. Very excited about the panels. -I'm at Zombie

Con because I have been a lifelong zombie fan. -The thing about conventions

is there's always, like, tattoos buzzing, and

flourescent lights, and a lot of people you need to talk to,

and you gotta stay charming, and you probably sleep all

of three hours a night. So, they're definitely

draining, but they're super fun. And you, you know,

you get to hang out with people you don't

normally get to see. -I'm here because

I'm a horror freak. I adore movies, adore the

genre, video games, comic books, you name it. I love it. -There's a lot of fun to be had. You can meet a lot

of people who've created these

works of art, be it films, or books, or paintings,

or, you know, whatever. You need a lot of

people behind that. -I just like the vendors, and I

love, like-- I can find things. It's like, oh, I freak out. I'm like-- I nerdgasm. -Yeah, you get to be with other

people who like to be weird and put blood on their face

and dress like characters, too. [MUSIC PLAYING] -One of the great things about

doing The Twisted Geeks podcast is we get to go to

conventions, like Zombie Con, like Crypticon,

and other ones that I love, like StarFest, where

we get to meet, not only just the

fans of all this and see the great

fan outpouring, but we also get a

great opportunity to meet the-- the minds behind

all the stuff that we've enjoyed, some of the

writers, directors, especially the actors. And we get to spend

time interviewing and talking with them. And it's been a fantastic time. -Yeah, I look up, Malcom

McDowell is ahead of me getting coffee. Chuck Palahniuk and

Max Brooks are trading notes for their talk that night. And George Romero is just

kicking it in the lobby, and I just look around, and

I'm like, I'm surrounded. There's so much

genius in this room. It was very hard for

me to contain myself, and not just run up to

everyone and be like -- oh my God, I love you. I'm such a fan! -If this seems a awkward
