 Bum Interviews
The Conor Timmis Interview
In 2006, actor and Boris Karloff fan CONOR TIMMIS got the idea to produce his own screen test for Universal Studios' biopic of the legendary horror star. The fact that no such picture is currently in the works was of little concern. Besides serving as a devoted fan's tribute to Boris, Timmis' screen test-slash-documentary KREATING KARLOFF was intended to give the studio that produced FRANKENSTEIN and THE MUMMY something to think about while giving us some interesting reenactments of certain scenes from those films.
Conor recently took a wrong turn and found himself in the spacious and elegantly appointed BumsCorner offices. Before he could make his escape, we blocked the door and promised to release him as soon as he answered a few questions for us. Here, then, are the results of that historic encounter... Read more... Updated Tuesday, December 09, 2008 | | The Toni Harman and Alex Wakeford Interview
The recent British fright flick CREDO (soon to be released by Lionsgate as THE DEVIL'S CURSE in the U.S.) is a dark and very creepy supernatural horror film that suggests more than it shows and uses sound design to chilling effect.
BumsCorner recently caught up with producer-director Toni Harman and producer, writer, and cinematographer Alex Wakeford and asked them some dark and very creepy questions about it. Their answers were chilling... Read more... Updated Saturday, November 11, 2000 | | The Monique Dupree Interview
What's cooler than finding a warm $20 in the dryer? Why, spending some quality time with Monique Dupree, the first black Scream Queen, that's what! Monique took a few minutes out of her busy schedule to chill at BumsCorner and talk about stuff near and dear to our hearts. Like booze and nipples for instance. Read more... Updated Tuesday, February 29, 2000 | | The Eric Stanze Interview
 | | |
Eric Stanze is the Top Dog of leading independent motion picture production company Wicked Pixel Cinema . Stanze is an award-winning and critically-acclaimed producer, director, writer, and editor of multiple feature length independent movies, all currently in world-wide home video release.
Stanze has also shot, produced, and/or edited educational videos, short films, documentaries, and music videos. He has provided voice over work for various radio commercials and independent movies. He has been a special effects creator for various independent films. He is also an actor in various indie features.
Eric Stanze began producing/directing low budget movies for the direct-to-video market in 1990 (he was only 18 years old at that time). Despite his "Roger Corman" attitudes and techniques, Stanze slowly started becoming a standout name in the indie/horror arena. Gory and hallucinogenic b-movies THE SCARE GAME, THE FINE ART, and SAVAGE HARVEST were directed by a young Eric Stanze. These titles set the foundation that Wicked Pixel Cinema would be built upon.

 | Marilyn and Calico
| |
If you're a Howdy Doody fan, you might know her better as Marilyn Patch, who played Doodyville schoolteacher "Happy Harmony" on "The New Howdy Doody Show" for 130 episodes back in '76. Dr. Marilyn Arnone has been doing her part to educate kids in entertaining ways ever since she hosted her own children's show called "Marilyn and Calico" at the age of eleven. (Hmm...I think I built a birdhouse out of a milk carton when I was eleven. But then I blew it up with some firecrackers.) Read more...

Here’s our interview with Old School Sinema chief and producer and creator behind “The Horror Convention Massacre” films. The second installment, “The Horror Convention Massacre 2” premieres Oct. 26 at the Beachland Tavern in Cleveland, OH with performances by bands Cult of the Psychic Fetus, Lords of the Highway and Horror of ’59 following the film. The DVD will be out then as well. Keep an eye out at the “THCM 2” MySpace page at http://www.myspace.com/thcm2 and at http://www.ossfilms.com for updates and info. Read more... Updated Sunday, September 23, 2007 | | The Ted Newsom Interview
Ted Newsom is a showbiz powerhouse--just check out his extensive credits on IMDb sometime--and to describe him requires scads of hyphens to separate words like producer, writer, director, and actor. He's worked with some of the greatest names in the horror/sci-fi genre, and his latest films include titles such as THE NAKED MONSTER and WHISPERS FROM A SHALLOW GRAVE.
With all this to his credit, I decided to interview him about his appearance as an extra in an episode of the Saturday morning TV series "Jason of Star Command" back in 1978, because I just watched and reviewed the entire series on DVD and there are certain things that I just "gots to know." Ted, being the gentleman that he is, asked, "You're who, now?" and then graciously offered his recollections of this and numerous other fascinating experiences for us to enjoy. Why, I remember it as though it were only yesterday... Read more... Updated Wednesday, May 30, 2007 | | The Brendan Foley Interview
Belfast-born Brendan Foley is a multiple-award-winning international journalist and screenwriter, literary author, and teacher. His adventures in journalism have taken him to fifty-five countries in the past fifteen years. And he still finds time to produce and/or direct films based on his own screenplays. If he said he was one of The Flying Wallendas too, it wouldn't surprise me. Read more... Updated Monday, March 19, 2007 | | The Stephen Wozniak Interview
After reviewing "Chaos", our resident princess of horror, Kristen, dug deeper by spending some time with actor Stephen Wozniak. Read more... Updated Sunday, January 28, 2007 | | Tiffany Apan - November 2006 Bumette
We asked actress/model Tiffany Apan if she were alone all day, what kind of movies and tunes would she be enjoying...and the all important question, would she stay in her PJs? Read more... Updated Wednesday, November 22, 2006 | | The Ethan Dettenmaier Interview III
Were we interested in how our buddy Ethan was doing?
Not really, we just want to know where the hell Sin-Jin Smyth is! Read more... Updated Wednesday, November 15, 2006 | | The Cast of Sin-Jin Smyth Halloween Interview

Since it's Halloween, why not spend time with Richard Tyson, Kevin Gage, Eileen Dietz and Gary Casper from the upcoming flick "Sin-Jin Smyth"! Read more... Updated Tuesday, October 31, 2006 | | The Joe Ostrica Interview
 | Scraps, Joe and Dixon at Cinema Wasteland
| |
On my last trip to Cinema Wasteland, I had an opportunity to check out "The Horror Convention Massacre" from Old School Sinema. The director Joe Ostrica ran into us at the bar, we acted stupid, and some time later I asked him some questions about his flick, movies in general, and of course...bi-sexual drunk chicks. Read more... Updated Wednesday, October 18, 2006 | | The Noel Thurman Interview
Now that "The 9/11 Commission Report" is out, and Noel has lifted her media embargo, we thought now would be a good time to grab some time with her for a quick interview. Read more... Updated Thursday, September 14, 2006 | | The Mike Conway Interview, part 2
In part one of our interview, jack-of-all-trades indie filmmaker MIKE CONWAY filled us in on the making of his sci-fi film, TERRARIUM (aka WAR OF THE PLANETS). This time, we get to find out what went on behind the scenes of his latest production about a genetically-engineered superwoman gone nuts, THE AWAKENING, which cost roughly one-fifth of the budget it took to film TERRARIUM while surpassing it in just about every way. How does this low-budget auteur do it? Let's find out! Read more... Updated Saturday, June 03, 2006 | | The Mike Conway Interview, part 1
His backyard is an alien landscape where you might find a crashed spaceship. His garage is the nerve center for genetic experiments and sinister government conspiracies. He's independent filmmaker MIKE CONWAY, and the world is his soundstage.
Director, screenwriter, actor, editor, composer--Mike does it all, with the help of a dedicated stock company of friends and family caught up in his infectious enthusiasm for making movies. And he does it with less money than most directors spend on coffee and doughnuts.
I recently got Mike to stand still long enough to tell us a little about, among other things, the making of the sci-fi/horror thriller TERRARIUM (reviewed here as WAR OF THE PLANETS) and his latest low-budget epic THE AWAKENING.

 | Tiffany Apan

Sometimes we like to get updates from the people we meet on our journey through the soft underbelly of the entertainment world. We met Tiffany at Cinema Wasteland in beautiful Northern Ohio, and asked that if she ever had any cool news to share, to be sure to look us up again. Lo and behold, look who’s here! Read more...

NightmareWorld.com is a comic book horror portal, filled with independent artists and writers. It is under the umbrella of Golden Goat Studios. Best off all it's online content is free! Nightmareworld is branching out from the web and print works are starting to show up at my local comic store. I figured it was time to sit down with Nightmare World's creator/writer and get the full scoop.
*editor note - the images below are preview shots from upcoming NightmareWorld works. Read more... Updated Saturday, May 13, 2006 | | The Eliza Swenson Interview
So today I have the pleasure of interviewing composer, model, and most importantly for us actress Eliza Swenson. I try to clean up some of the beer bottles around the office, but the trash can only holds so much. Before I can really start to worry if the car freshener hanging from my desk lamp will mask the pungent smell coming from the trash, in walks Eliza. Read more... Updated Wednesday, May 10, 2006 | | The Allen Wilbanks Interview
What--filmmakers are real people? That's what I was reminded of when I got an email from Allen Wilbanks, the writer-director of MOTOR HOME MASSACRE, a new release that I pretty much panned recently. Allen didn't want to argue, trade insults, or otherwise engage in anything other than a friendly conversation about his movie and what I found wrong with it. He even asked me for my thoughts on how he could have made it better! (What the heck do I know about making movies? I just watch 'em!) Read more... Updated Thursday, April 27, 2006 | | The Ethan Zohn Interview
I recently had the unique pleasure of interviewing Ethan Zohn, of "Survivor" and "The Scorned" fame. I say it's unique, because Ethan completely blew me away with how honest and "real" he was. This is no cookie cutter TV star looking to get famous, he's genuine, and funny, and dammit, I like him! Read more... Updated Sunday, April 09, 2006 | | The Tiffany Sinclair Interview
The writer/director/star of the new movie "Praey", Tiffany Sinclair, graced BumsCorner with her presence, so it's the least we could do to grill her about her latest project! Read more... Updated Thursday, March 23, 2006 | | The Stagknight Interview #1 (Simon Cathcart & Robert Mercer)
There's nothing Scraps likes more in a movie than violence, chicks, and giant stuff killing smaller stuff. That's why I'm so pumped about "Stagknight"! I asked director Simon Cathcart and writer Robert Mercer about the film, and learned where to hang out and grab some drinks when travelling abroad. Read more... Updated Tuesday, February 21, 2006 | | The Ethan Dettenmaier Interview, Redux
Scraps and Ethan spend some time chatting about Ethan's upcoming movie "Sin-Jin Smyth", and the finer points of red carpet etiquette. Read more... Updated Sunday, February 19, 2006 | | The Countess Bathoria Interview
Actress, director, screenwriter, webmistress, model, and fervently-admired Goth icon COUNTESS BATHORIA (A.K.A. Melantha Blackthorne) is the driving force behind the mind-boggling, wildly-inventive horror/action/comedy flick SINNERS AND SAINTS (described by our own Rufus and Scraps as "the kind of stuff that propels a movie to cult status"), now available as a deluxe 2-disc DVD from her company, Robomonkey Productions.
The breathtakingly beautiful Countess recently made an appearance at the Corner to answer a few questions for us, and I, lucky dog that I am, got to ask them. Read more... Updated Saturday, February 04, 2006 | | The Jason Paul Collum Interview, Part 2

Allow indie film makers to upload a six minute film. Let people vote on which they like best. Show the winners on TV. Brilliant! Why didn't I think of it? I chatted with the brains behind IFC's Media Lab to get the skinny on this cool project. Read more... Updated Saturday, December 03, 2005 | | The Christine Conradt Interview
When she's not playing a flesh-eating ghoul as in the upcoming zombiefest LAST RITES, she turns out screenplays for wicked flicks such as GHETTO DAWG 2:OUT OF THE PITS and A KILLER UPSTAIRS. She's the talented and prolific CHRISTINE CONRADT, and she just gave us the lowdown on all sorts of cool movie-type stuff! Read more...

If you watch a lot of horror and sci-fi movies on DVD, chances are you've listened to a Tom Weaver commentary track. You may also have read some of his many celebrity interviews in magazines such as "Fangoria", "Starlog", and "Video Watchdog." He has penned several books of interest to genre fans, including ATTACK OF THE MONSTER MOVIE MAKERS, SCIENCE FICTION AND FANTASY FILM FLASHBACKS, and THEY FOUGHT IN THE CREATURE FEATURES.
