Interview with Don Of The Dead - November 2003

Most of my interest is in the 50's - 70's movies. The Universal monsters like "THE CREATURE FROM THE BLACK LAGOON" and "FRANKENSTEIN" were what got me into horror movies. But when I was a teenager I discovered H. G. Lewis and his brand of psychotic gore movies. "COLOR ME BLOOD RED" is a classic.
The 70's had MANY greats like "THE OMEN", "ROSEMARY'S BABY", "THE TEMPTER" and of course "THE EXORCIST". HAMMER HORROR ruled the 70's.
The 80's were OK but the genre moved from horror into more gore and that did not interest me as much.

Any "remake" tops the list of shit films. They just remade "THE TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE"...why? It was perfect. Hollywood even tried to do "PSYCHO". Are they nuts?

Argento for horror. But one of my all time favorite scenes is in Bava's "DEMONS" where the chick falls over and the demon comes out of her back. Another one of my faves is in "BEAST WITHIN" (Dir. Mora) the beast punches through the jail cell and tears off the guys head.

Christopher Lee was the best Dracula but Vincent Price because his voice is frightening.

Well in "EVIL DEAD" when the pencil gets jabbed into the ankle that always hit me weird.

Doomstone is incredible !

"HALLOWEEN" hands down.

Interesting. It makes perfect sense to combine the horror movies with horrible music.
