Speaker 1: Misspelling with Tori Spelling and iHeartRadio podcast.
Speaker 2: Hi?
Speaker 3: Hi, how are you doing?
Speaker 2: Uh?
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna lie. I'm really nervous right now.
Speaker 3: You have nothing to be nervous about. I'm just big goober.
Speaker 1: I have everything to be nervous about. You don't understand.
Speaker 1: I feel like I have met everybody in Hollywood. I
Speaker 1: have interviewed. I interviewed William Shatner, and I wasn't as
Speaker 1: nervous as I am interviewing you today. When I get
Speaker 1: really passionate, I get very I love it. I'm gonna
Speaker 1: take it down. Not nervous, Like I'm not nervous. I'm
Speaker 1: just like so supremely excited to be here with you today.
Speaker 1: And I gotta think, like, when I heard that you
Speaker 1: said yes, a piece of me was like, why me?
Speaker 1: Why did he say yes to me?
Speaker 3: Because it's you. I mean, I've been a fan of
Speaker 3: you for a long time. So there you go. Okay,
Speaker 3: Oh my gosh.
Speaker 1: I was like, God, I wish I had that on video.
Speaker 1: I have that on video, Oh my god.
Speaker 3: Okay.
Speaker 1: And I also won huge points with my kids. I
Speaker 1: guess I'm not supposed to say that my kids watch
Speaker 1: movies like Terrifier, But my kids watch movies like Terrifier.
Speaker 1: I'm a huge horror fan and I've been watching scary
Speaker 1: movies my entire life. It's my jam, it's my life,
Speaker 1: it's my passion. And I vowed not to do that
Speaker 1: to my children and repeat the past because I thought, Okay,
Speaker 1: in some ways it's really semi traumatizing. And then an
Speaker 1: age like four, they all start watching them. That's a lie.
Speaker 1: It was aged two, so we we stumbled upon Terrifyer
Speaker 1: like most people did. Correct. I believe it was in
Speaker 1: twenty twenty during COVID, and I was like, oh much. Now.
Speaker 1: My daughter, who is seventeen, who I'm not kidding, is
Speaker 1: terrified of clowns, like terrified her whole life. She would
Speaker 1: cry if she saw a clown at a party. We
Speaker 1: can't go anywhere where there's anything scary clowns like it's
Speaker 1: a thing. But for some reason, Art the clown looks.
Speaker 1: She loves you so much. It's like a PowerPoint presentation.
Speaker 1: She wrote down questions for you last night.
Speaker 3: I love that. Oh my gosh, that's so sweeter.
Speaker 1: She chose to do that instead of her homework. She's
Speaker 1: a senior. Sorry as you'll see with my interviews, I'm
Speaker 1: kind of all over the place.
Speaker 3: So fine, it's fine.
Speaker 1: Yes, should we start at the beginning.
Speaker 3: Sure, it's a very good place to start, Huh.
Speaker 1: I like that. Okay, So wait, so you were in theater?
Speaker 3: Yes?
Speaker 1: And did you ever take like training, like mind classes
Speaker 1: or anything.
Speaker 3: No, No, I'm my classroom.
Speaker 2: I guess was like the stage and just watching a
Speaker 2: bunch of great movies growing up. My parents and grandparents
Speaker 2: gave me a great education, especially in comedy. I was
Speaker 2: watching like the Marx brother films and Chaplain, Laurel.
Speaker 3: And Hardy as a kid.
Speaker 2: My aunt gifted me a box set of Mister Bean
Speaker 2: videos when I was a teenager.
Speaker 3: And I just was obsessed with Mister Bean. Obsessed. I
Speaker 3: would watch I probably.
Speaker 2: Almost like like wore out the VHS tapes because I
Speaker 2: just watch them over and over and over because I
Speaker 2: love that style of comedy.
Speaker 3: And I just kind of.
Speaker 2: Brought that into when I start doing a lot of
Speaker 2: community theater back home in Hunt School, Alabama, I did
Speaker 2: a lot of children's theater, and kids love physical comedy
Speaker 2: over verbal comedy, and so I would just bring a
Speaker 2: lot of that kind of Mister Beanish type of quality
Speaker 2: to what I was doing, and I just perfected that
Speaker 2: over the years of doing stage work, and then after
Speaker 2: I moved to New York, I was lucky enough to
Speaker 2: get cast in the first five national tours of How
Speaker 2: the Grinch Stole Christmas the musical, and our Grinch was
Speaker 2: Stephen Carl who was Robbie Rotten from LazyTown, and he
Speaker 2: was actually trained in mine in clown work in Iceland,
Speaker 2: where he was from originally, and I was his understudies,
Speaker 2: so he took me aside and was able to like
Speaker 2: fine tune the skill sets I had been developing myself
Speaker 2: over the years, and he was like, this is how
Speaker 2: you make this better, and so it was. I basically
Speaker 2: had a master's class in physical comedy from a great
Speaker 2: physical comedian, which was It was great education. And when
Speaker 2: I got cast his art I called stepping up. Because
Speaker 2: he was also a big, huge Mister Bean fan. He
Speaker 2: always wanted to play one of those like silent mischievous
Speaker 2: characters as well, and my bud, I got a chance
Speaker 2: to play a character l likeness but in a totally
Speaker 2: different way in a horror movie. Can you give me
Speaker 2: some pointers here? And he gave me some great pointers,
Speaker 2: and I just put a lot of that into art
Speaker 2: when I took on art.
Speaker 1: I am tripping out right now for art the clown
Speaker 1: your inspiration is mister Bean. Yeah, that is so rad.
Speaker 1: By the way, mister Bean still holds up because I
Speaker 1: played mister Bean for my eight year old recently, and
Speaker 1: I'm like, you know, sometimes movies are dated, like yeah,
Speaker 1: like my kids, I put on Beverly Hills nine or
Speaker 1: two and oh, they're like it's so grainy and slow.
Speaker 1: I'm like, okay, thanks, and he's like I love this.
Speaker 1: And I was like, oh, that like warmed my heart. Wow,
Speaker 1: So was the first movie you auditioned for? It was
Speaker 1: like it never happens in Hollywood. No, and wait, did
Speaker 1: I read this right? That your agent didn't want you
Speaker 1: to do this role?
Speaker 3: That is true? That is very true. No, absolutely not.
Speaker 3: I can't even remember her name anymore. I'm just like, yeah,
Speaker 3: I just ditched her after the movie relevant, yeah, because
Speaker 3: like you steered.
Speaker 2: Me down the wrong path because she just wanted me
Speaker 2: to focus more on stage work. And I'm like, well,
Speaker 2: I had just auditioned for a lot of like Broadway
Speaker 2: tours and they all fell through. I was in like
Speaker 2: final callbacks and they all fell through, and I'm like, ah,
Speaker 2: like that audition came up for terrifying, and I'm like,
Speaker 2: this would be just a great way for me to
Speaker 2: get my.
Speaker 3: Foot in the door in the industry.
Speaker 2: I was like, this is I don't know if anybody's
Speaker 2: going to see this thing because it's like low budget
Speaker 2: independent film, but I'm like, this would be great at
Speaker 2: least for you know, a demo reel and I can
Speaker 2: get on camera experience and go from there. And she
Speaker 2: fought me on it. She's like, I was only paying
Speaker 2: you one hundred dollars a day. You don't need to
Speaker 2: waste your time on anything like that. And I'm like,
Speaker 2: I don't care. I'm not doing anything else right now.
Speaker 2: This seems like a lot. It would be a lot
Speaker 2: of fun. It would be a great educational experience for me,
Speaker 2: and I.
Speaker 3: Want to do it.
Speaker 2: And I just kept on and on and on, and
Speaker 2: she finally relented and submitted me. And she didn't even
Speaker 2: tell me I got cast. It was for a few
Speaker 2: months because they asked me in the room to come
Speaker 2: in for a makeup test and I was like great,
Speaker 2: and then I didn't hear anything for a few months,
Speaker 2: and I just assumed, oh wow, like how it always
Speaker 2: goes like, oh, someone else must have gotten it, move
Speaker 2: on to the next thing. And I get an email
Speaker 2: from Damien one day asking me to come in for
Speaker 2: the makeup test, and I'm in the chair and I'm.
Speaker 3: Like, does this mean I have the parties? Like, oh, yeah,
Speaker 3: you've had it for several months. I'm like, your agent.
Speaker 2: Didn't telling him, Like no, I'm like, why am I
Speaker 2: giving this person ten percent?
Speaker 3: Yeah?
Speaker 1: It's like did you commission her? Oh my gosh, wait, okay,
Speaker 1: so when you went in for the audition, what was
Speaker 1: there to work with?
Speaker 2: Yeah, the original art was Mike Jinnelli, who played him
Speaker 2: in All Hallowsy If he was like Damien's best friend
Speaker 2: growing up, and he just didn't want to come back
Speaker 2: to play the role because if he didn't want to
Speaker 2: go to the makeup, he also just wanted to go
Speaker 2: on to other things in life and just move on.
Speaker 2: And so that I think he's pissed right now, not really,
Speaker 2: And we've chatted over the years. Yeah, he's he's, he's
Speaker 2: he's he's started doing some conventions himself and he's having
Speaker 2: fun doing that.
Speaker 3: So it's worked out.
Speaker 1: But He's like, if I knew one day make it
Speaker 1: into the box office, I would have done.
Speaker 3: It's like, oh, well work for me. But yeah, but
Speaker 3: I went in there.
Speaker 2: I knew who the character was. That's why I wanted
Speaker 2: audition for it too, because when I saw all Halis
Speaker 2: Eve a few years before, I was like, this character
Speaker 2: is like an evil mister bean this is and I
Speaker 2: saw the potential there of like, god, I would love
Speaker 2: an opportunity to play a character like that. There's so
Speaker 2: much I could do with him.
Speaker 1: And in the in the audition, I.
Speaker 3: Know later on though I did. I was like yeah,
Speaker 3: but I was like, so I knew.
Speaker 2: Who Art was, but I didn't get any sides for
Speaker 2: the audition. So I walked into the audition room. All
Speaker 2: these other people have scripts in their hands. I'm like,
Speaker 2: oh god, I'm a stupid agent. Of course he didn't
Speaker 2: send me a script.
Speaker 1: Great really wanted to sabotage you.
Speaker 3: That's not what happened. It's just they just didn't send
Speaker 3: out scripts for Art.
Speaker 2: They called me at the room and I'm like, I'm sorry,
Speaker 2: I never got a script, Like, oh no, you're not
Speaker 2: supposed to get a script.
Speaker 3: Art doesn't talk.
Speaker 1: I'm like, cool, they were there for other characters.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, so there everybody else was all these other characters.
Speaker 2: So I was like, well, great, so what what can
Speaker 2: I do for you guys? Like and Damie's like, just
Speaker 2: come up with a scene where you decapitate somebody and
Speaker 2: you're happy about doing it.
Speaker 1: And good night to me.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 2: I just had to improvise that audition right there on
Speaker 2: the spot, and it's online, you can look it up.
Speaker 2: But I like a quick summation of it. I did
Speaker 2: this whole thing where I just kind of cartoonishly snuck
Speaker 2: up behind my victim and like took out a slicehammer.
Speaker 3: Yeah, just a whole creeping.
Speaker 2: Like knocked him out, sawed off his head, picked it up,
Speaker 2: and tasted the blood and I did like the So
Speaker 2: I took out a salt shaker and seasoned it, tasted again,
Speaker 2: gave it a thumbs up, and skipped out of my
Speaker 2: merry way. And that's what got me the role. Right there,
Speaker 2: They're like, can you come in for a makeup test?
Speaker 3: And I'm like, absolutely, that never happens. Though that never happens.
Speaker 3: It's like you.
Speaker 2: Usually have to go in for several callbacks and whatnot.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I wonder did that like not jade you, but
Speaker 1: like I don't know, like my first series for ten seasons.
Speaker 1: So after I've dumb not char I'm like, ohoh it's
Speaker 1: super easy. You do a pilot goes on for ten years,
Speaker 1: and then like I did pilot, after pilot didn't get
Speaker 1: picked up, I'm like, oh, here's the reality.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Like but it didn't really jade me too much though.
Speaker 2: I was I just considered myself like you because I had,
Speaker 2: you know, about thirteen years of just pounding the pavement
Speaker 2: in New York City, you know, getting up at you know,
Speaker 2: four o'clock in the morning just to go sit in
Speaker 2: a line, just to hope to get.
Speaker 3: Seen at an open call audition.
Speaker 2: So it was like I had done my years of
Speaker 2: you know, hard work trying to get there.
Speaker 3: So I was like this, I just consider myself being
Speaker 3: finally fortunate.
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, sorry I got distracted. You're so stinking cute,
Speaker 1: Like it's hard to think that you're like the most
Speaker 1: modern iconic villain right now, horror villain. This is crazy,
Speaker 1: But I personally maybe I'm sick. I find art kind
Speaker 1: of hot.
Speaker 3: So luckily my girlfriend does too, so I'm lucky.
Speaker 1: She ever asked you to role play in bed?
Speaker 2: Oh no, no, no, no, she's over here, like covering
Speaker 2: her mouth, not go oh my god.
Speaker 1: How long have you guys been together?
Speaker 2: Oh, we've been together officially for about six months, I
Speaker 2: would say now, but we've known each other for about
Speaker 2: a year. So it's we met at a convention and
Speaker 2: kind of hit things off.
Speaker 1: Conventions are nice, right are They're fun? I don't know
Speaker 1: what it's like for you. It's probably a whole different
Speaker 1: type of convention for you than it is for me.
Speaker 1: Like I have my mind's very niche like and so
Speaker 1: it was yours. But you know, I have like the
Speaker 1: nice nineties, you know, moms they're with their kids and
Speaker 1: they're like, oh, we love Donna Martin and you you
Speaker 1: have all the sickos that are in line for you, right.
Speaker 3: You could be surprised though. It's like the hard community is.
Speaker 3: I think they get such a bad rap.
Speaker 2: People think they're a bunch of sickos and stuff like that,
Speaker 2: but they're like one of them.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm proud to be a weird. Yeah.
Speaker 2: I think we're just you know, a lot of us
Speaker 2: were the ones that were always made fun of in school,
Speaker 2: and so these are like, the horror fans are some
Speaker 2: of the nicest, most genuine people you'll.
Speaker 3: Meet out there.
Speaker 2: They're like because I've know, it's a difference between like
Speaker 2: going to like regular you know, geek cons, comic cons
Speaker 2: and stuff like that versus arts. There's a different camaraderie
Speaker 2: there with the fan base. It's like a close are
Speaker 2: knit a bunch of people that it's it's there's a
Speaker 2: I don't know, I can't really describe it, but it's
Speaker 2: like it's more of a family type of feeling.
Speaker 3: Everybody's like, oh, hey, it is right.
Speaker 1: It's so interesting you say that because I I'm part
Speaker 1: of the horror community and I got into it through
Speaker 1: doing immersive experiences Oh Fun, which I love, and met
Speaker 1: you know, everybody in the horror industry, horror fans, and
Speaker 1: they soon became this little family for me, and I
Speaker 1: realized it's they're a lot nicer than like, you know,
Speaker 1: even like the mom groups that I was friends with.
Speaker 1: You know, it's like the horror community like really supports
Speaker 1: each other and in some way we're all like a
Speaker 1: wonderful bunch of misfits. That's really what it is, and
Speaker 1: I love it. And I for me personally, Sorry, this
Speaker 1: is about you, not about me, but it's about me,
Speaker 1: so anyway, for me personally, I just feel like I
Speaker 1: was I came out of the womb basically in the
Speaker 1: public eye because of my dad and then as Donna,
Speaker 1: so I felt like I always had to be the
Speaker 1: good girl, you know. I was always on and well
Speaker 1: I am a very nice, kind person. It was an
Speaker 1: escapism for me to be a part of the horror community.
Speaker 1: I was accepted not because of who I was, It's
Speaker 1: because what my similar passion was, right, and I really
Speaker 1: I love them very much. So I just wanted to
Speaker 1: say that, oh I do how long? I know everyone
Speaker 1: and the brothers ask you this or sister, how long
Speaker 1: does the prosthetics take?
Speaker 2: That takes about an hour and a half now to
Speaker 2: do When we first.
Speaker 3: Started, then no, that's nothing. When we started, it took
Speaker 3: about three or four hours.
Speaker 2: But we did it a whole different process, and we've
Speaker 2: streamed over the years because we found out certain things
Speaker 2: work better. And we originally had a gelatin mask that
Speaker 2: I wore and it was very heavy and it would
Speaker 2: fall apart very easily because of moisture or whatever.
Speaker 3: And now we've switched to a phone Latex.
Speaker 2: Mask, which is much lighter and goes on much better
Speaker 2: and holds up so much better.
Speaker 3: So I like it. I've I've had more Latex.
Speaker 1: One more time phone Latex. That was really sexy.
Speaker 3: Oh my gosh.
Speaker 1: What do you wear under the costume?
Speaker 3: I just wear like a T shirt and like shorts.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but if but it also depends, like sometimes we're
Speaker 2: in like you know, cold, cold, cold settings, so they'll
Speaker 2: give me like thermal underwear and long John's or whatever
Speaker 2: to wear underneath, So something to keep me warm, because
Speaker 2: a lot of times we filmed in winter in like
Speaker 2: New York City, Philly, New Jersey area, so it gets
Speaker 2: really really cold, especially when you covered.
Speaker 3: All that blood.
Speaker 1: Yeah. When you're inside, though, isn't it hot? Like you
Speaker 1: don't ever just want to like free ball it inside?
Speaker 2: Especially in that Santa coastum, it will get really hot.
Speaker 2: In part three when we're doing the interior scenes in
Speaker 2: the houses, I would sometimes just in between takes, have
Speaker 2: to just step outside into the cold winter air and
Speaker 2: just I would have steam just coming off of me.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Okay, so you mentioned number three which is Christmas focused. Yes,
Speaker 1: how much flak my daughter wanted me to ask you this. Sorry,
Speaker 1: do you feel like you guys got a lot of flack?
Speaker 1: It is rare in poor history that a child is massacred,
Speaker 1: and you guys went for it and did it.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but you know that's horror for you. You got
Speaker 2: to push the boundaries there. You got to push that envelope.
Speaker 2: You got to keep trying to innovate and find new
Speaker 2: things to shock people and.
Speaker 3: You know, surprise them.
Speaker 2: And though you look at a lot of horror movies,
Speaker 2: they're the premise of most horror movies, especially Slashers, involves
Speaker 2: children or at least teenagers, which are children.
Speaker 3: But you look at you know, pet cemetery.
Speaker 1: Children, we are cemetery. I love pet cemetery.
Speaker 3: Oh my gosh, you engage. I mean, Miko is so scary.
Speaker 1: Yeah, God, still a ship the bed. She didn't ask
Speaker 1: you the right question, damn it.
Speaker 2: But even my dad hasn't seen Part three because like
Speaker 2: I hear you kill kids and he's like, I don't
Speaker 2: want to see that. I'm like, well, you don't see
Speaker 2: them die on screen, but it's implied.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, there's like limbs and stuff.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Oh so I'm at Bill Diamond at a convention, and
Speaker 1: first of all, I lost my ship because of Fraggle Rock,
Speaker 1: which is lost my ship, like I could not. I
Speaker 1: was acting even less cool than I'm acting with you
Speaker 1: right now. And yeah, and then I got to sit
Speaker 1: in a chair. Oh my gosh, all the terrifier stuff.
Speaker 1: I was like, oh my gosh.
Speaker 3: I'm speaking out over all the hints and stuff.
Speaker 2: Because we filmed out there at his workshop in I
Speaker 2: think it's Long Island, and when we were there, he
Speaker 2: has a lot of.
Speaker 3: The different muppets still in there. I got to oh
Speaker 3: my god.
Speaker 1: He told me it's insane there.
Speaker 3: Yes, it's absolutely insane.
Speaker 2: I was. I was like, I felt like the kids
Speaker 2: in Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. Seeing the chocolate factory
Speaker 2: for the first time, I was like, this is amazing.
Speaker 3: This is my childhood. I got to hold Rizzo.
Speaker 2: The rat, I got the hold Red, I got the
Speaker 2: hold Kermit's hand. I was I almost started. I was like,
Speaker 2: this is I know, this is just a puppet, but
Speaker 2: this is Kermit. It was It was Steve Whitmeyer's Kermit,
Speaker 2: and I was like, this is amazing. But they were
Speaker 2: also when we were there filming, they were refurbishing big
Speaker 2: bird refurbishing like image, more more feathers on him, and
Speaker 2: like fixing him up.
Speaker 1: And I'm like, do you think do you think big
Speaker 1: bird modern day would have extensions?
Speaker 3: Probably?
Speaker 2: But I actually had like one of the feathers fell
Speaker 2: on the ground and I kept it because it's a
Speaker 2: big bird feather. I'm like, so I still have it
Speaker 2: somewhere in my far Yeah. I'm like, this is is
Speaker 2: big bird. This is the real big bird.
Speaker 1: I'm that is so wild. I don't know. They always say,
Speaker 1: like when you spot a feather or find a feather,
Speaker 1: it's good luck you have big Bird's feather. You're like
Speaker 1: next level.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I was. I was. I was so happy. I
Speaker 3: was like, this is amazing.
Speaker 1: Oh my goodness. Okay, can I ask you another one
Speaker 1: of Stella's questions? Sure, okay, she has now she had,
Speaker 1: Like really I was impressed with her questions. And I said,
Speaker 1: but keep in mind, he is the actor. He plays
Speaker 1: art the clown like it. He's not the creator and
Speaker 1: the writer. Even though I'm sure you have so much
Speaker 1: input at this point.
Speaker 3: A little bit.
Speaker 2: It happens more when once we get on set, like improv. Yes,
Speaker 2: there's a lot of like, especially if it's more like
Speaker 2: the comedic scenes, Damie gives me a lot of free
Speaker 2: range to just play around.
Speaker 1: Do you feel like they've gotten less comedic than the
Speaker 1: first one.
Speaker 3: I feel like they've done a little bit more comedic
Speaker 3: in some ways.
Speaker 2: Really, yeah, I think that the first was like when
Speaker 2: Damien wrote the first one, he didn't know me at
Speaker 2: the time, and so it was more serious, and I
Speaker 2: just started bringing more comedy into the character and that,
Speaker 2: and so when when he wrote part two, he knew
Speaker 2: my style, and so he deliberately wrote certain scenes in there,
Speaker 2: like the costume shop scene, in the clown cafe scene,
Speaker 2: where I could really just play around and do some
Speaker 2: funny things. And of course in part three he did
Speaker 2: that as well with the mall scene, in the bar
Speaker 2: scene with Santa Claus.
Speaker 1: I think as a fan sometimes I'm distracted from the
Speaker 1: comedy with the grotesque, like right, although you want to
Speaker 1: hear like my sorry, this is kind of gross. I
Speaker 1: love this stuff so much that so we rewatched Terrifier
Speaker 1: three last night. We've seen all three, but we rewatched
Speaker 1: it because it's a way to bond with my family
Speaker 1: because my kids are on phones all the time and
Speaker 1: ignore me now, and I have mostly teenagers. So when
Speaker 1: I said I was interviewing you, I was like, do
Speaker 1: you want to watch it again? And they were like, yeah,
Speaker 1: of course. I was like cool. So I actually made
Speaker 1: dinner while we watched Terrifier three, and I it was
Speaker 1: fun because I was massaging my meat while I was
Speaker 1: watching you eat people basically oh and I yeah, didn't
Speaker 1: turn me off. I still chow down on that beef
Speaker 1: and broccoli when it was.
Speaker 2: I've had that same realization though, Like when I first
Speaker 2: when I was about to do like Film Part one,
Speaker 2: I was like, how am I going to be able
Speaker 2: to eat on these sets with all these like appendages
Speaker 2: and blood and everywhere.
Speaker 3: It's kind of gross me out. But it doesn't. I
Speaker 3: don't know what's wrong with me.
Speaker 2: Now I can sit here and watch a horror movie
Speaker 2: with people being eviscerated.
Speaker 3: I'm still I'm sitting here eating a hamburger and laughing
Speaker 3: my head off, and I'm like.
Speaker 1: Oh no, what does that say about us? I know, hmmm,
Speaker 1: I don't know. My my eighteen seventeen year old thought
Speaker 1: this was funny recently, And there's this online kink test
Speaker 1: that they made me do, which I was like, oh no,
Speaker 1: and yeah, apparently I'm a masochist rope bunny brat. I
Speaker 1: don't know. Okay, yea, I'm gonna put that on my resume.
Speaker 1: So well, yeah, but there must be something. I wonder
Speaker 1: what it is. Someone that's like not grossed out by
Speaker 1: something really sick who okay she? Oh? Oh? Sorry. While
Speaker 1: I'm on the topic of cooking dinner, do you feel
Speaker 1: like Art cooks?
Speaker 3: Oh? Definitely.
Speaker 1: What would be his favorite dish to cook?
Speaker 2: I would say probably, uh, like, you know, lady fingers
Speaker 2: or some kind of kid's meal, you know, yeh, cheese.
Speaker 1: I didn't see that one coming, like chicken nuggets.
Speaker 3: Chicken nuggets, chicken nuggies. I do love my chicken fingers,
Speaker 3: so dem yeah.
Speaker 2: My girlfriend's laughing at me because I usually my Southern
Speaker 2: accent usually comes out when I say chicken fingers, and
Speaker 2: so she's like, oh no, I just spit out her drinks.
Speaker 1: Up spectaci funny.
Speaker 3: I'm glad.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I hope, I hope it continues. I think it
Speaker 1: not your relationship. Sorry, I do hope your relationship continues.
Speaker 1: But it's hard, you know, hearing someone's humor. I was
Speaker 1: married for almost nineteen years, so eighteen years. Sorry, look
Speaker 1: at me? Are forgetting? It was no and you know
Speaker 1: my husband towards and he like, you just don't find
Speaker 1: me funny anymore. I'm like, no, it's not that. It's
Speaker 1: that I don't have to expand the energy and laugh
Speaker 1: out loud. We have five kids. I'm laughing on the
Speaker 1: inside to conserve energy because I'm making dinner. Okay, back
Speaker 1: to dinner. So you okay, So Arts wait, so do
Speaker 1: you feel like art is? I mean, he's a carnivore.
Speaker 1: Do you feel like he likes sushi?
Speaker 2: Though? I think he actually kind of would because he
Speaker 2: eat like when I think about it, he when he
Speaker 2: eats people, he's not cooking people. He just eats some raw.
Speaker 2: So I think he'll be fine with like sushi.
Speaker 1: Oh, you're right.
Speaker 3: Raw.
Speaker 1: That was remember when that was in. That was like
Speaker 1: the raw trend.
Speaker 3: Yeah I didn't do that, no, no, thank you.
Speaker 1: But it wasn't even Yeah I tried, I tried, but
Speaker 1: it wasn't. It was more like vegetables looking fancy and stuff.
Speaker 1: I'm not. Are you a meat eater?
Speaker 3: I am? Yeah, it's vegan.
Speaker 1: And you had to play this role.
Speaker 3: Oh my gosh, that's the fight.
Speaker 2: It's like most of the well, especially on the first film,
Speaker 2: Jenna and Catherine are both vegan, and we've had several
Speaker 2: other people in said are vegan, and it's like, oh boy,
Speaker 2: it's gotta be fun for you.
Speaker 3: But I think that's why they like doing the pizzeria scene.
Speaker 2: Because they could actually have food on set and it
Speaker 2: was actually vegan. They had like, you know, just cheese pizza,
Speaker 2: so they're.
Speaker 1: Fine, David, cheese is not vegan.
Speaker 3: I know, that's right, but they're more vegetarian, I guess.
Speaker 3: So yeah, no.
Speaker 1: I eat everything. Yeah, wait, what is the stuff you
Speaker 1: eat when you're like eating intestines and stuff?
Speaker 2: Is usually like the intestines, I usually just pretend I'm
Speaker 2: eating something.
Speaker 3: It's just like, you know, something my soul.
Speaker 1: I know, to know that you chewed up and swallowed something.
Speaker 3: No.
Speaker 2: No. And but when Lauren, when Lauren had to bite
Speaker 2: through that intestine, it was like a gummy intestine and
Speaker 2: it had like gummy like yeah like carry yeah, like
Speaker 2: gummy stuff and it had like cherries or something like that.
Speaker 2: So it looked like fecal matter and stuff coming out
Speaker 2: of it. So there was they want to do nutella
Speaker 2: but she's like, do not ruin nutella for me, Please,
Speaker 2: do not put Nutella in this because I love Nutella
Speaker 2: way too much and I will be traumatized from Nutella
Speaker 2: from now on.
Speaker 3: Yeah, so she had it worse than I did.
Speaker 1: I also love to talk about Poopsie. Just be my day. Okay.
Speaker 1: So Stilla wants to know will Art the clown ever
Speaker 1: take off the mask or is that just what he
Speaker 1: looks like.
Speaker 2: I believe that's what he looks like because at the
Speaker 2: beginning of part one you see him applying makeup and
Speaker 2: you see he's got like skin tone, natural skin tone,
Speaker 2: and that's you see his bone structure there. But that
Speaker 2: might be something we explore more in part four, because
Speaker 2: I know Damian's going to explore his origin at the
Speaker 2: beginning of the movie.
Speaker 1: So yeah, because I want to know, wait, is there
Speaker 1: going to be like a young Art.
Speaker 3: I don't know yet. He's not telling me anything until
Speaker 3: he's done with the script, which is.
Speaker 2: Driving all of us in the cast crazy right now
Speaker 2: because we in the past few films he's shared with
Speaker 2: us while he's writing ideas and everything. This time he's
Speaker 2: just keeping silent and just writing, and he wants to
Speaker 2: surprise all of us. So I'm wanting to know because like,
Speaker 2: over the years, he and I have discussed so many
Speaker 2: different origins for the character. So I'm very interested to
Speaker 2: see where he's landed. So I'm wondering if we're going to.
Speaker 3: See a younger art or what. I have no idea.
Speaker 1: This is your best poker face? Are you telling me
Speaker 1: the truth?
Speaker 3: I am telling you the truth. I have no idea.
Speaker 3: I'm like, hurry up, man, write the script. I want
Speaker 3: to read it.
Speaker 1: Do you know when you guys are going to film?
Speaker 2: Like around when I think he's saying early next year
Speaker 2: that we're going to start filming, so he so I
Speaker 2: guess you know we'll find out.
Speaker 1: Do you think you could put a good word in
Speaker 1: for me? Of course, I don't even have to be
Speaker 1: like a big character like I just want you to
Speaker 1: eat me. That didn't come out right, that.
Speaker 3: Have a slip on aisle four?
Speaker 1: Oh dear uh no, But I like you can kill me.
Speaker 1: You could, you could. I could just be like or
Speaker 1: I could just be like a background player. I don't know.
Speaker 1: I just want to be on step with you guys.
Speaker 1: I just.
Speaker 2: That's the most wild thing about this is how many
Speaker 2: people have. Everyone asks you, they're like, can you kill me?
Speaker 2: I'm like, that's that's wild, Like people just all over
Speaker 2: the industry especially, I don't want to name names. It's
Speaker 2: like there have been like some big names, and like,
Speaker 2: are you kidding me?
Speaker 3: This is insane.
Speaker 1: Absolutely, So you're saying I don't have a chance.
Speaker 3: No, there's always a chance. There's always a chance.
Speaker 1: Who knows. Maybe Demians secretly was a Donna Martin fan
Speaker 1: Beverly Hills.
Speaker 3: And I know it's always possible.
Speaker 1: You never know.
Speaker 3: You grew up with like older sisters that could.
Speaker 1: Be my endy.
Speaker 2: There you go, there you go, because he had, like
Speaker 2: all he was the only a man in the family.
Speaker 3: So is his mom and his sisters and him. So
Speaker 3: I'm pretty sure.
Speaker 2: There was some nine O two one oh playing on
Speaker 2: TV when he was growing up.
Speaker 1: Okay, okay, I'll be stalking him later. Okay, well you're
Speaker 1: probably gonna get into this. And four and I know
Speaker 1: you don't know, but Stella is asking why doesn't Art
Speaker 1: speak can't say why does he kill people in horrific
Speaker 1: ways that she thinks are almost artistic ways? And her
Speaker 1: theory is his name is Art because in his world,
Speaker 1: she came up with this whole. I was like, I'm
Speaker 1: proud of you girl, like she came up. She's like, actually,
Speaker 1: if you think about it, and if you take all
Speaker 1: the horror and grotesque killings away, they're actually very creative
Speaker 1: ways that he kills people, and that's his and art
Speaker 1: is subjective, you know, like it's your own interpretation. So
Speaker 1: is this his artistic expression? Such the name art.
Speaker 2: That's kind of how I look at It's like performance
Speaker 2: art for him, and that's how I went in looking
Speaker 2: at this character. I was like, Okay, he's a clown,
Speaker 2: but he's actually that anti clown.
Speaker 3: He does all this.
Speaker 2: There was a great line that the homeless lady, the
Speaker 2: cat Lady Puya in the in the first film set
Speaker 2: is like he does this because he thinks it's funny.
Speaker 2: And I'm like, that's that's what I was really able
Speaker 2: to understand the character with that one line. I was like,
Speaker 2: ok I can build so much off that one line.
Speaker 2: It's like, yeah, he's the anti clown. Clowns are supposed
Speaker 2: to be here to bring joy and amusement to other
Speaker 2: people for everybody else's pleasure.
Speaker 1: There's curious they don't bring joy.
Speaker 3: No, But that's what they think they're doing. Right.
Speaker 2: Art is here to bring pain and misery to everybody
Speaker 2: else around him for his own selfish amusement. He's basically
Speaker 2: always performing for an audience of one himself. He's a
Speaker 2: very selfish character, and that's how I look at Like,
Speaker 2: all these kills he's.
Speaker 3: Doing is pure entertainment for him. He has fun. This
Speaker 3: is just him performing.
Speaker 1: I love that.
Speaker 3: Oh my gosh, makes him thick.
Speaker 2: It's he's not doing out of revenge or anything like that.
Speaker 2: It's just pure fun for him.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's random, right, Yeah, it's very Yeah, Oh my gosh,
Speaker 1: that was amazing. Sorry. I was really sad to see
Speaker 1: Vicky die because I thought, like, I mean, I was okay,
Speaker 1: So I was happy for her. She really wanted to
Speaker 1: die and she couldn't kill herself. But I was happy
Speaker 1: she's finally dead. But although, yeah, I don't know. I
Speaker 1: thought they were really great and I really wanted them
Speaker 1: to have a baby.
Speaker 3: Open the most fucked up child.
Speaker 1: Art plus Vicky equals love. They were like soulmates, Yeah, soul.
Speaker 3: He was basically her baby because she birthed his head.
Speaker 3: So right, it's kind of messed up.
Speaker 1: Oh, what is that Oedipus complex you know that works. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: I was really sad. I thought that's where it was going.
Speaker 1: Mm hmm, Like I don't know. I was like, Okay,
Speaker 1: something's gonna happen, and I feel like I didn't expect
Speaker 1: her to die, and I was like, oh, there's going
Speaker 1: to be like a mini art born and that's going
Speaker 1: to be your child, that's going to like be with you.
Speaker 3: Oh that would have been a fun idea, that would
Speaker 3: have been fun.
Speaker 1: Well I'm happy to fill in in number four and
Speaker 1: birth your child, all right, Well Damien know, okay, see
Speaker 1: I'm just thrown out ideas. We never know what it'll sick, right,
Speaker 1: you know, yeah, who knows?
Speaker 3: Who knows?
Speaker 1: I think I'm very I've had five I am in menopause,
Speaker 1: but nothing matters in these movies. You know, it could
Speaker 1: be one hundred and have a baby.
Speaker 2: So yeah, exactly. It's like the things that like Damien
Speaker 2: has come up with, the like the ending that we
Speaker 2: originally had for part three was so much more dark
Speaker 2: and twisted it we had to we had to cut
Speaker 2: a lot of that out because we were just running
Speaker 2: out of time. We only had a few days to
Speaker 2: film that whole scene, so we had to make massive
Speaker 2: cuts to that scene, but it got so much darker.
Speaker 2: We were doing so much worse things to Gabby, but
Speaker 2: I don't want to say what they are because he
Speaker 2: might put them into Part four for all I know,
Speaker 2: So I have no idea. But he wrote some very
Speaker 2: twisted and dark things. And that's where even while we're
Speaker 2: filming just what we had filmed, Damy at one point
Speaker 2: is like, this is getting way too dark. We need
Speaker 2: something to lighten the mood. Dave, every time you go
Speaker 2: by Lauren, just slap her in the head, and I'm like,
Speaker 2: you know, so literally doing slapstick comedy in this scene.
Speaker 3: So like it, And that's something I've know.
Speaker 2: We get a lot of praise for all these people
Speaker 2: that love that bit where I just keep slapping her
Speaker 2: in the head every time I walk by her. And
Speaker 2: I felt so bad for poor Lauren because we had
Speaker 2: to do so many different takes from so many different angles,
Speaker 2: and she was so just tired and exhausted, and she's
Speaker 2: she already had a stress headache and I'm just having
Speaker 2: to slap her in the head. I'm like, I am
Speaker 2: so sorry about doing this for you. I'm like but
Speaker 2: that's Damien. He's he comes off some really creative things,
Speaker 2: morbid things, but also that are sometimes just really funny.
Speaker 2: I don't know where it comes from, because he is
Speaker 2: like the most normal guy when you meet him in
Speaker 2: real life.
Speaker 1: I see, I love that, though, well he's the creatives, Like, yeah,
Speaker 1: something bad, Like why do you think Art let Gabby lives?
Speaker 3: Are we talking about get like the little Girl? Yeah,
Speaker 3: I don't know, I don't I don't know. I mean
Speaker 3: I think there might.
Speaker 2: He could come back and before pretty much pretty much well,
Speaker 2: I know, like the whole point of that was to
Speaker 2: do stuff because like we were doing worse stuff to
Speaker 2: Gabby in that scene, which of course didn't make it
Speaker 2: the screen.
Speaker 3: But like sexual stuff, No, definitely not that. That's because
Speaker 3: I've gotten that question before.
Speaker 2: It's like kind of like how what art is about him?
Speaker 2: Like is I don't even see him being a sexual
Speaker 2: creature at all? I see him very asexual. That's like
Speaker 2: that's something he's gree Yeah, he's something. He's above all
Speaker 2: of that. I mean because some people as he gays,
Speaker 2: he's straight up like, I don't think he's any of that.
Speaker 2: He's just purely asexual. He's just Art, and I don't
Speaker 2: think that's one thing I expressed, like, I don't want
Speaker 2: him to do anything like sexual.
Speaker 3: I don't want him raping anybody or anything like that because.
Speaker 2: I don't think that's I think that he's above something
Speaker 2: like that. That's something that is just not something he's
Speaker 2: not interested in doing. So, of course, nothing like that.
Speaker 2: But it was like for Gabby, it was more about
Speaker 2: just the base seeing her just like just horrible things
Speaker 2: happening to her to really psychologically damage Sienna because they
Speaker 2: needed her to be at her most vulnerable state, just
Speaker 2: break her mentally, so Vicky, the entity inside of Vicky
Speaker 2: could finally possess Sienna understood.
Speaker 3: Yeah, Like when we did part one, we were just like, well,
Speaker 3: we hope someone sees this movie and maybe if people
Speaker 3: like it, maybe we'll make a second one. We were
Speaker 3: spitballing so many ideas for a possible sequel, but like the.
Speaker 2: Only thing we knew is that we knew we wanted
Speaker 2: to bring in a kick ass, like like female protagonists
Speaker 2: to come in because we are the one thing I
Speaker 2: was always wanting is like Art needs the Batman to
Speaker 2: his joker, and someone that's that balance to him and
Speaker 2: Sienna is actually a character Damien created even before he
Speaker 2: came up with the character of Art, it was just
Speaker 2: a really badass warrior chick and he's he always wanted
Speaker 2: to bring her to life, and so he finally had it, thought, well,
Speaker 2: I can bring this character into this and that's who's
Speaker 2: going to be the Batman to Arts Joker being into
Speaker 2: his Yang.
Speaker 1: That is very cool. So Halloween Hornin, Yeah, there's Terrifire,
Speaker 1: which insane. I mean obviously you've been there.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I am one to the the La one on
Speaker 2: opening night, and I'm going to try to go to
Speaker 2: Orlando at the end of October because I'm going to
Speaker 2: be down there for Spooky Empire.
Speaker 1: Nice he went on opening night, were people on line
Speaker 1: like what the heck.
Speaker 2: I was sa and like, oh gosh, I've never experienced
Speaker 2: anything like that before. That was my first real red
Speaker 2: carpet event, and I was kind of overwhelmed because I
Speaker 2: went to a Halloween Hard Knights last year, not on
Speaker 2: the red carpet. I just walked around with friends and
Speaker 2: I would get recognized here or there, but this time
Speaker 2: it was like a mob of people falling us everywhere
Speaker 2: we went. But yeah, it was it was just crazy.
Speaker 2: We had people following us everywhere. So like when we
Speaker 2: got to the Terrifier House, there was a huge mob
Speaker 2: of people already just waiting in line. They didn't know
Speaker 2: we were coming through it, but it was like, I
Speaker 2: see if people. It was a four hour wait.
Speaker 3: I was like, this is insane.
Speaker 2: And then we go through and they just go crazy
Speaker 2: when they realized that we were there.
Speaker 3: It was I've never experienced anything like that.
Speaker 1: It was you must tell the Scare actors that you're coming, right,
Speaker 1: I would.
Speaker 3: Just I would think, so, I think, so you could
Speaker 3: tell them.
Speaker 1: I'd be nervous if I was playing at the Clown
Speaker 1: as one of the scar actors at Halloween Hornites and
Speaker 1: you were there, I'd be like, oh my god, am
Speaker 1: I doing it right? Is he going to be crust?
Speaker 1: Is he any think I suck?
Speaker 2: Oh?
Speaker 3: They did great job.
Speaker 2: I actually got to meet some of the Scare actors
Speaker 2: a few weeks prior because I was at Midsummer Scream
Speaker 2: in Long Beach and they came by my table and
Speaker 2: like hey, they introduced themselves.
Speaker 3: And like can you give us some tips?
Speaker 2: And I gave him some little tips about, you know,
Speaker 2: his mannerisms, how he walks and how I basically I
Speaker 2: told him when I took him on, because I looked
Speaker 2: at the nose, especially of the character. I was like,
Speaker 2: he kind of looks like a vulture, and he's kind
Speaker 2: of a scavenger. He's always scavenging things for his tools
Speaker 2: and everything like that, and he eats flesh, he heats
Speaker 2: the dead, the things he's killed. So he's like a vulture.
Speaker 2: So I based a lot of his movements off of
Speaker 2: a vulture, Like how vultures only.
Speaker 3: Just bursts of prey.
Speaker 2: In general, the first thing that moves is their eyes,
Speaker 2: and then the head moves, and then the body moves,
Speaker 2: and so that's what how I approached Art. When he's
Speaker 2: in hunting mode, his eyes moved than the head moves
Speaker 2: and the body moves, and he has that hunch when
Speaker 2: he's in he's like hunch like a vulture. And so
Speaker 2: like I just told him those kind of little things.
Speaker 2: That's how I approached him. When he's in certain modes. Now,
Speaker 2: when he's joking around, he's more standing up straight, more jovial,
Speaker 2: but then he gets serious and goes in hunting mode
Speaker 2: like that.
Speaker 1: I'm obsessed with you, Thanks no, because it's so smart,
Speaker 1: like what you bring to art since you like punts.
Speaker 1: There you go, wait, I heard you get wet. No,
Speaker 1: I gotta stop doing this at this at the terrifier
Speaker 1: one at Halloween horns him. My gosh, yeah.
Speaker 3: You a little little damp in there.
Speaker 2: More so I think in the Ordlando one because they
Speaker 2: have two routs can go through. Yeah, but the one
Speaker 2: here in La I still got a little damp going
Speaker 2: through it. There's a few rooms where you get sprayed
Speaker 2: with things.
Speaker 1: Which is there smell no, oh, yes, the.
Speaker 3: Smells there is, especially in the bathroom.
Speaker 1: So I heard there's like smells like.
Speaker 3: Smell like the bathroom smelled like a homeless man.
Speaker 2: It reminds me of the few times when I lived
Speaker 2: in New York, get being on the subway and there's
Speaker 2: a homeless person on the subway and you see the
Speaker 2: subway car pulled up and you.
Speaker 3: See it empty, or like, oh, don't go in that
Speaker 3: subway cart. It would just smell so bad. And that's
Speaker 3: what that room reminded me of, was just horrible smelling
Speaker 3: subway cars when someone had just been sitting there sitting
Speaker 3: their own feces or something like that.
Speaker 1: Poo poo, that's the best all around weed. So it's
Speaker 1: like fart spray, yeah, but worse my kids are with
Speaker 1: fart spray.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah. Oh so is Caine Hotter, the guy you
Speaker 3: know the main and Boorhes. He's he.
Speaker 2: We've been having a prank war with each other over
Speaker 2: the past few years because he likes to get people
Speaker 2: with fart spray, and I've been retaliating against him. I've
Speaker 2: gotten him back a few times with other pranks. So
Speaker 2: one time I put a fart machine in his trash
Speaker 2: can at his table, but I put it between the
Speaker 2: can and the liner, so if he looked in, he
Speaker 2: didn't see the fart machine. And so when it was
Speaker 2: a little quiet and they're out, hit the button and
Speaker 2: make it go off. And I was sometimes handing to
Speaker 2: my assistant and they would do it. So he'd look
Speaker 2: over and I'm signing and he's like, how is he
Speaker 2: doing this?
Speaker 3: I know it's him.
Speaker 1: Oh my god. I love him too. And the fact
Speaker 1: that you guys have a prank war going on on,
Speaker 1: do you have like a private text chain as well?
Speaker 2: No, we just prank each other at the commit because we've
Speaker 2: seen each other all the time. So we have fun
Speaker 2: with each other.
Speaker 1: Oh my god, he got me.
Speaker 2: Also this year Texas Fright Maer when I was signing
Speaker 2: at the table.
Speaker 3: It's on video.
Speaker 2: He's snuck up behind me and just scare the shit
Speaker 2: out of me, and I just scream.
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, what does your scream sound like?
Speaker 3: At that time, it wasn't too great, was that?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 3: It was? It was. It was wild. It's like if
Speaker 3: you had told myself, and like when I was.
Speaker 2: A kid growing up, that I would be in the
Speaker 2: middle of a prank war with Jason Borhies, I would
Speaker 2: have said, you're you're shitting yourself.
Speaker 3: So I was like, this is It's very surreal. It's
Speaker 3: a very surreal moment.
Speaker 1: If you told me five years ago i'd be interviewing
Speaker 1: you on my own podcast, I'd be like, what, this
Speaker 1: is a surreal moment for me. Oh my gosh.
Speaker 3: H life's crazy.
Speaker 1: It can go any direction.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: I think I manifested this because I wanted to meet you,
Speaker 1: and here we are. It worked out right, it did,
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh. So what's next for you? Do you
Speaker 1: want to do a wrong com I would.
Speaker 2: I would love to get back into comedy again. I
Speaker 2: missed doing comedy because that was my thing. I was
Speaker 2: a musical theater nerd and I was a comedy nerd.
Speaker 2: That's all I did on stage. I never really did
Speaker 2: dramatic works. I because I like to make people laugh.
Speaker 3: That's that's my calling in.
Speaker 2: Life, is to make people laugh, bring joy to people.
Speaker 2: So I'm like, yeah, but of course I would do
Speaker 2: like a rom com. But I mean, I I I've
Speaker 2: got a few.
Speaker 3: Other horror projects coming up.
Speaker 2: I'm filming something in November, but I can't say where
Speaker 2: that is yet, but he's gonna be very prosthetic heavy.
Speaker 3: But I mean, of course I want to break out
Speaker 3: of horror. I would. Of course, my dream role is
Speaker 3: playing the Joker.
Speaker 2: I mean, I really want to be James Gunn's Joker
Speaker 2: in the DCU because I I love what he's.
Speaker 3: Been doing with Oh. I love what he did with
Speaker 3: Guardings a Galaxy first of all, but like what he's
Speaker 3: been doing with the DCU, as.
Speaker 2: He's so character driven with his films and he understands
Speaker 2: that the funness that is with comic book movies and
Speaker 2: TV shows, and I would I feel like he could
Speaker 2: do a lot of fun things with Joker, and I
Speaker 2: would love to be his Joker because I want to
Speaker 2: bring a comic book version of the Joker to life
Speaker 2: that's not really been done since Caecia Romero's Joker in
Speaker 2: the nineteen sixties.
Speaker 3: I would really love that. I would really love that,
Speaker 3: So that would be Also I'm trying to manifest that.
Speaker 1: I were going to manifest it. What do you mean
Speaker 1: it's happening. It will already happening. But I love wait
Speaker 1: so like a musical, like a musical comedy, like what
Speaker 1: would what would you do if they were to make
Speaker 1: a movie?
Speaker 2: Oh my god, I mean I would because Little Chapahrs
Speaker 2: Is one of my favorites. I love that seeing would
Speaker 2: be something like Little Chaps, like some kind of horror
Speaker 2: thinged musical comedy or something like that.
Speaker 3: That would be a lot of fun.
Speaker 1: You just can't get away from the horror.
Speaker 3: I can't. I can't.
Speaker 2: It is now it is. It's funny how that is
Speaker 2: because I grew up. I didn't really watch a lot
Speaker 2: of horror movies growing up because my mom was so
Speaker 2: afraid of horror movies. She thought The Vincent Price Fallow
Speaker 2: The House of Usher was the scariest movie she had
Speaker 2: ever seen.
Speaker 3: So if she was still Live Today. She was like,
Speaker 3: I would love I love you, baby, but no, I
Speaker 3: am not watching these.
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh. And I loved Abbit and Costello when
Speaker 1: they had like the Storm.
Speaker 3: They're so good.
Speaker 2: It's like, I that's something I would love to do, Like, like,
Speaker 2: you know, a scary movie. I'm like, I'm so excited
Speaker 2: because I hear there's a room that the Art is
Speaker 2: going to be in Scary Movie.
Speaker 3: I heard.
Speaker 2: I hear the rumor that Chris Elliot is playing Art
Speaker 2: in Scary Movie six, which makes me so so happy
Speaker 2: because I've I've been a huge Chris Elliot fan since
Speaker 2: way back in the nineties.
Speaker 1: That would make that would be great. So I was
Speaker 1: in I was in Scary Movie Too, which was the
Speaker 1: Chris Elliot one. Yeah. Yeah, so he he's so talented
Speaker 1: and so nice. He's great, but it's.
Speaker 2: Funny, and I'm like, if anybody else is going to
Speaker 2: play Art, I'm so happy would be him because I
Speaker 2: I love him so much.
Speaker 1: Oh I love that if Art sing a song, like
Speaker 1: if he spoke, what song would it be?
Speaker 3: Ah, the sound of silence?
Speaker 1: Like that would be Art's karaoke song.
Speaker 3: Yeah, hello Darkness, my old friend.
Speaker 1: You know you came up with that too.
Speaker 3: Best.
Speaker 1: You've been asked that question before.
Speaker 3: It's just something I thought about.
Speaker 2: I thought, No, that's actually something I thought about years
Speaker 2: ago because I was like, because one of those character
Speaker 2: things a lot of actors like to do is like
Speaker 2: what would be on a character's playlist or what song
Speaker 2: would they sing?
Speaker 3: And I was like, that would because I I especially
Speaker 3: with him.
Speaker 2: It's the irony of that, that's I think it would
Speaker 2: be great on.
Speaker 1: Your resume, not the resumes even exist anymore.
Speaker 3: That the right.
Speaker 1: What are what? What are your special talents?
Speaker 2: I do over two hundred voices. That's the irony of
Speaker 2: me being known for playing a silent character. I do
Speaker 2: over two h voices about twenty five different dialects.
Speaker 3: It's it's my.
Speaker 2: Autism superpowers, I tell people, because it's just like I
Speaker 2: don't know how I do it.
Speaker 3: It's just that I've done since I was a kid.
Speaker 1: That is so cool. Wait, anything else, like do you
Speaker 1: play the flute or anything?
Speaker 2: I played piano, but not like you know, like an expert.
Speaker 2: I just do it for shits and giggles. I haven't
Speaker 2: played it in a while. I need to get back
Speaker 2: into doing that. But I'm like, Yeah, I used to
Speaker 2: be like very very limber, but now that I've hit
Speaker 2: my forties, I can't.
Speaker 3: I'm not as double jointed as I used to be,
Speaker 3: which sucks.
Speaker 1: But double jointed. You should do Dancing with the Stars.
Speaker 3: That would be fun.
Speaker 1: Season thirty four's on right now. Oh my god, people
Speaker 1: would forget well Prettysney plus like show with ABC and Hululan.
Speaker 1: Maybe yeah, but gosh, a.
Speaker 3: Ballroom dance back in college. I used to do a
Speaker 3: lot of back in the day.
Speaker 2: I used to it, especially because when I was in college,
Speaker 2: that's when swing dancing came back into style, like late
Speaker 2: like ninety eight, and I did a lot of swing
Speaker 2: dancing back in the day.
Speaker 3: I used to love that.
Speaker 1: Wow, you're a man of many talents.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's That's the family I came from is they
Speaker 2: all had lots of abilities. They all teachers and engineers,
Speaker 2: but they all had like artistic abilities as well.
Speaker 3: So I guess we're like, you know, a family of
Speaker 3: Rinds on some men.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I love that. Do you think they'll ever make
Speaker 1: an animated series of Terrified with arts clans?
Speaker 3: It would be cool? Cool. I love something like that.
Speaker 3: I would do the voice for art, but I would.
Speaker 1: Love Look, yeah, you might not have a job if
Speaker 1: they did that, well.
Speaker 3: I could come in voice everybody else maybe just for fun.
Speaker 1: It'd be like really cool to do this dark comedy
Speaker 1: like Mister Rogers but Art the Clown.
Speaker 3: Oh mister Arts Neighborhood or something like that, like.
Speaker 1: And it seems like it's just like one of those
Speaker 1: oh the Cloud.
Speaker 2: Cafe basically, yeah, yeah, that'll be fun.
Speaker 1: Would you ever do a reality show besides sans Hoopstairs
Speaker 1: and which on?
Speaker 2: Yeah, if I did a reality show, I would want
Speaker 2: to do something maybe like Traders or something like that,
Speaker 2: because I really I've enjoyed that show that's been a
Speaker 2: lot of fun, or something like like The Mole or
Speaker 2: something like that, like something like there it's not just
Speaker 2: people sitting around in a house and just bitching at
Speaker 2: each other. I like to do something where that, like
Speaker 2: there're fun games you're playing, there's some kind of goal.
Speaker 3: But that's why I like The Mold. There's like a
Speaker 3: mystery you're trying to solve the whole entire time.
Speaker 2: Who's who's the one that's writing everybody else out and
Speaker 2: here screening everything up like that.
Speaker 3: That's why I like the traders like.
Speaker 1: Oh, who who's trying to be great?
Speaker 3: I love that show. And plus I love Alan Comings
Speaker 3: so much. Oh my god, he's so awesome. I think
Speaker 3: they I think it would.
Speaker 2: Be really cool to do a show like that with
Speaker 2: a bunch of horror actors and who Who's the killer?
Speaker 1: I think that would be a great idea.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I feel like they haven't really done reality. I mean,
Speaker 1: like scare tactics are like, you know, like but not like,
Speaker 1: because there's so.
Speaker 2: Many great horror actors out there, and it's like that
Speaker 2: gives them all a chance to like all come together
Speaker 2: and do something fun like that. It's like, yes, but
Speaker 2: you have all the victims, you have all the villains,
Speaker 2: you have the heroes and heroines. You could bring all
Speaker 2: you know, all these years of horror movies. You could
Speaker 2: There's so many people you could use for something like that.
Speaker 2: It'd be a lot of fun.
Speaker 1: Well, News Slash, you're the it guy right now, so
Speaker 1: you should make that happen.
Speaker 3: We'll see.
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh. Okay, and so you have a new project.
Speaker 1: What about Screamboat Scream? Oh yes, that's doing well.
Speaker 3: There might I have not seen it? Oh no, I'm
Speaker 3: it is such a silly movie.
Speaker 2: It's it's it's kind of like that goofy type of ridiculousness,
Speaker 2: like the Leprechaun movies were you know it's it's a lot.
Speaker 1: Of fun movies.
Speaker 3: Oh I do too, especially the Vegas one. I think
Speaker 3: that one's so funny.
Speaker 1: Well so where wait, where can everyone watch screen Boat?
Speaker 3: I believe it's on most stream pops.
Speaker 2: I know it just got put on Peacock a few
Speaker 2: weeks ago, so it's definitely on Peacock now.
Speaker 3: Think it's a.
Speaker 2: Fun, little, crazy little movie, especially if you're a Disney fan.
Speaker 2: It's got so many Disney Ace Triggs throughout it, and
Speaker 2: I'm a I'm a big, huge Disney fan, so I
Speaker 2: I I was so excited just to do it because
Speaker 2: it was kind of a full circle moment for me
Speaker 2: to play Willie because my first role I.
Speaker 3: Ever really did, like big role, was in middle school.
Speaker 2: My high my middle school choral program did Mickey's Christmas Carol,
Speaker 2: and I was bullied a lot in middle school. I
Speaker 2: was very shy and quiet, and my mom I.
Speaker 3: Was very funny at home, just always doing.
Speaker 2: Crazy character stuff and my mom was like, you you
Speaker 2: need to let your classmates see the side of you.
Speaker 3: I think that will change things for you. And she's like,
Speaker 3: your school's doing Mickey's Christmas Carol. You do a great
Speaker 3: Mickey Mouse voice. Why don't you audition for it?
Speaker 2: And so I did and I got the role and
Speaker 2: that was That's the show that gave me my love
Speaker 2: for making people laugh, because things went wrong during the
Speaker 2: show and I started improvising right there on the spot,
Speaker 2: like the set fell down and Scrooge and I and
Speaker 2: I'm like, oh, mister Scrooge, I think we have rats,
Speaker 2: and Audis laughed.
Speaker 3: Then our table broke during the crash at family dinner
Speaker 3: and shot the little chicken we had over the audience.
Speaker 3: I'm like, what, I guess we're having fast through to min.
Speaker 2: It was like and when I was laughing, and I'm like,
Speaker 2: oh my gosh, for the first time at this school,
Speaker 2: I have people laughing with me instead of at me.
Speaker 2: And I'm the one with the power right now. I'm
Speaker 2: in control and I'm loving this. And that's what I
Speaker 2: was like, Mom, I want to do more of this.
Speaker 2: I want more of this. And so that's why she
Speaker 2: started getting me involved with community theater and so being
Speaker 2: able to come back and play a different version of
Speaker 2: Mickey Mouse.
Speaker 3: Was a dream come true for me in a lot
Speaker 3: of ways because it was a nice little throwback to
Speaker 3: where I.
Speaker 2: Started my origin in a lot of ways. And so
Speaker 2: I didn't even see the script. When the director came
Speaker 2: to me, it's like, I want you to play Willie.
Speaker 2: I'm like absolutely, absolutely, And then I saw the script
Speaker 2: and I'm like, oh, this is a fun script. It's
Speaker 2: very creative in a lot of ways. I had a
Speaker 2: lot of fun doing that film. And I know we've
Speaker 2: been shooting around ideas for a possible sequel, so hopefully
Speaker 2: that can manifest itself.
Speaker 3: Too awesome.
Speaker 1: Yeah, to say it's happening, it's happening. The sequel's happenings,
Speaker 1: and the works gont happen. Okay, I've taken up enough
Speaker 1: of your time. I could talk to you all day long,
Speaker 1: but will you leave us on this? Will you do
Speaker 1: a voice please that we'd be surprised to know that
Speaker 1: you do. And you just said you do over two
Speaker 1: hundred and twenty would you say you do?
Speaker 3: Yeah, over two hundred voices? I lost count years ago.
Speaker 2: I have a YouTube video I did, like when I
Speaker 2: did my first year on Grinch, back in twenty ten,
Speaker 2: I did about on.
Speaker 3: One hundred and ten voices in nine minutes, just back
Speaker 3: to back, So a lot of cartoon characters.
Speaker 1: So I mean, like a book of world record shit there.
Speaker 3: I know. I think mel Blank had me beat, but you.
Speaker 1: Know, oh him, oh yeah yeah.
Speaker 3: But of course I was like, it's probably a lesser
Speaker 3: known character unless you're a child of the eighties like
Speaker 3: I am.
Speaker 2: But it's from Ninja Turtle series of Kraying. I just
Speaker 2: always loved that voice, like.
Speaker 3: You those.
Speaker 2: Yeah, my mom thought I was crazy because I would
Speaker 2: do that voice with the figures, like what is wrong
Speaker 2: with you?
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh. So you would have action figures and
Speaker 1: do the voices out loud, Oh my god, brilliant.
Speaker 3: I would do that. I would just sit there and
Speaker 3: just do all the character voices.
Speaker 2: Or I would make my own shows up on the spot.
Speaker 1: And puff the magic dragon. But you're too hrutuff really.
Speaker 3: Hr puffs and stuff.
Speaker 1: Yeah, my gosh, that was my face, that witchy woo. Well,
Speaker 1: I'm an action figure. Can I call you Dave?

Speaker 1: action figure.
Speaker 4: I god, tur me shopping bitches. I don't know, nice,
Speaker 4: I don't know.
Speaker 3: I don't know that.
