Welcome to the Boone Show on My Pulse Radio. I'm John Boone. It's our Halloween special. I've been looking forward to this like for weeks. I know. For weeks. Wait, wait, wait, wait. I gotta get you because you're on the spare mic. So there we go. Talk now.
SPEAKER_06:Can you hear me? Oh, there we go. There we go. Yes, I'm excited about this one.
SPEAKER_04:Yes. Those mics are probably better than these mics.
SPEAKER_06:Oh.
SPEAKER_04:Yeah. Got a good budget around here. Right, Winston? Yes. It is absolutely right. So uh let's get rolling here. We've got a couple of great gu guests and another, I almost said ghost for Halloween. Great ghosts. And another one coming. We've got uh Winston Seely, of course, my colleague here in the award-winning media broadcasting department.
SPEAKER_06:Award winning. Well, before we even get started, Mr. Boone, I probably we probably need to talk about what took place this past week with you. Finally, after how many years?
SPEAKER_04:It's been eight years since I won't.
SPEAKER_06:He knows exactly. Uh instructor of the year, am I right?
SPEAKER_04:I told I told you that at the uh Chicago.
SPEAKER_01:Yeah, that's right. Yeah, that's awesome.
SPEAKER_04:Yeah, finally it is kind of an honor because the the people that are involved in that contest especially are really, really good. And it was my kids that nominated me.
SPEAKER_06:Which is even cooler, right?
SPEAKER_04:They they obviously were looking for good grades at the end of last year when the nominations were due and were saying all kinds of you know stuff about me to get me to win. But it feels good to do that. Yeah. We'd like to see the kids win more, but uh and Mr.
SPEAKER_06:Seely won a couple of years ago.
SPEAKER_04:Yeah, he did. I did. Yes, I nominated him. Yes, how it's I've told him I've I'm taking all the credit for that because I wrote it and they bought it. Right, exactly. So Winston's here, and so is his dad.
SPEAKER_00:That's right. Hi, I think.
SPEAKER_04:Don Seely is here. He is a uh cinematographer from way back, probably where you got the interest, I would say.
SPEAKER_06:You think so?
SPEAKER_04:Uh I I don't I can't imagine. Can't imagine. Can't imagine it's like you were there everywhere. Yes, yeah. You know, and we'll talk about that that more. What what a way to grow up. It's pretty cool. And um I always get on on Don's case because uh I was a Friday the 13th fan when I was growing up, um, just to watch uh scary movies or whatever. And and Don was uh doing the electric in um Friday 13th, part seven. Part seven. That's right. So I re-watched it last night for the first time in 30 years, and uh man, it's like a comedy watching. And that's that's nothing that doesn't reflect on him because he did a great job. That's right. But my goodness, well it's been years too, right?
SPEAKER_06:Oh, yeah, yeah, it's each day. Yeah, it was 88. Yeah.
SPEAKER_04:So I mean it was just one of those those campy franchises in the in the 80s um that just kept making one movie after another, and it it really took uh dive off the cliff after part seven.
SPEAKER_02:Yeah, it was it was weird. The the whole series. I mean, they go to Manhattan, but it's really just a ferry ride from a long ferry ride. A really unusually long ferry ride from Jersey to New York. I don't know how it was an overnight ride, but apparently it was. And then they go to space, they eventually go to space. Jason goes to space. Hey, in movies you can go anywhere, right?
SPEAKER_04:And then he battles uh Freddie Krueger at the end.
SPEAKER_02:But not with Kane Hotter, which Oh yeah, he was the good Jason. Yeah, he was a great guy. Yeah, he was great.
SPEAKER_04:But we'll talk more about that coming up because it's it's really interesting. Um but I have these two film guys here to um discuss, you know, some scary movies, some uh things for Halloween. I told you to come up with a list, Holly.
SPEAKER_06:Yes.
SPEAKER_04:Do you watch scary movies?
SPEAKER_06:So I'm not a scary movie junkie at all. In fact, I'll watch it. No, I'll watch it if somebody tells me what's gonna happen. So like we'll sit down to watch the movie and I'm like, Madeline, what's gonna happen next? Or ask my husband, Rob, what's gonna happen next. And then I'll watch it. But I don't like that like I don't w I don't like the thought that it really could happen.
SPEAKER_04:Oh.
SPEAKER_06:So I it more of a Freddy I could handle.
SPEAKER_04:So you don't like those ones that are too close to real life.
SPEAKER_01:No, like if yeah, don't don't do Midsummer or uh hereditary uh yeah, stay away from those.
SPEAKER_06:Okay.
SPEAKER_01:That's a little too close to real life.
SPEAKER_06:Kate Fear to me was the worst movie ever because I feel like that could have happened. Oh, yeah, no, absolutely. Like without a doubt.
SPEAKER_02:That's that's that's one of my top top ones right there. Yeah. That was a long boat ride, too. There's actually like parts of that movie that I tell Aaron, you can't watch this, you have to leave. Well, my life. I believe that.
SPEAKER_04:My wife doesn't need anybody to tell her, she'll just get up and leave. She's even last night with watching that again, which they took all the bad parts out of it, the gory parts. But she would just turn to me and look at me, and I'm like, just watch what's going on. Can I look at it? Can I look at come on, come on. It's just fun stuff. All right, uh, Will Raglan's in the house, ladies and gentlemen. I made it. Yes, you did. Look at the bearded one. Yes. Yes. It's very good to see you. You too. Um, we're we're gonna kick off the show with you anyway. So after our little banter, we'll we'll jump right in. Um, Milltown Players has itself uh a spooky little show going on right now.
SPEAKER_03:Oh, there's nothing little about it, John. It's called The Mystery of Irma Vepp. Would you like to hear about it?
SPEAKER_04:I would, but first I know you're directing it. Are you actually in it too?
SPEAKER_03:I am not, thank God. Okay.
SPEAKER_04:I was wondering about that. But no, it's really cool, which he'll tell you. But it's it's two actors the whole time. Go ahead.
SPEAKER_03:Yeah. I am directing it. I designed the set, and I was in charge of the props because I hate being bored. Yeah, that's it. Two actors play all eight roles. Nine if you include the werewolf.
SPEAKER_05:Oh, wow.
SPEAKER_03:And both of these young men, I taught them when they were in high school: Drake King at Woodmont High School and Cameron Woodson at Palmetto High School. And I had the honor of putting both of them on stage for the very first time. And they have become really good actors. They both went to uh Coastal Carolina University, got their BFA in acting. They actually were in shows together at Coastal, and this is the first time I've gotten to feature both of them together on our stage in this manner in Pelzer. And they are hilarious. So it is a two-person quick change comedy. We had to rig up some costumes like you wouldn't believe. We're talking about full Victorian dresses with a zipper in the back.
unknown:Oh wow.
SPEAKER_03:And the shows are the show uh continues for its second and final weekend this Thursday at 7.30 p.m. Friday at 7.30 p.m. Saturday. There are two shows, which are 3 p.m. and 7.30, and Sunday at 3 p.m. The Mystery of Irma Vep is uh a play like none other. It is a comedy, it is very spooky, it derives uh much of its inspiration from uh gothic literature and universal monster movies and melodrama from the Victorian era. And it is a load of fun, and we've done a lot of research to uh understand what all these references are. They've got stuff from Edgar Allan Poe, Shakespeare, um, Emily Bronte, all sorts of references, and uh we've had a blast putting it together. A lot of sight gags, a lot of crazy stuff happens on the set, some theatrical magic. And the worst part of all, you build this giant English manor, this haunted house looking thing, and then you have to go to Egypt. Yes. So there's a second set that comes out and covers up the entire thing we've built as we go to Egypt for about 10 minutes. Oh, wow. Isn't that ridiculous? I'll tell you what.
SPEAKER_04:Just roll out a pyramid and be done with the pyramid. Yeah, just roll out a pyramid. It's all you gotta do.
SPEAKER_06:And the huge backstage that you have, right? I mean so much. What backstage? No backstage.
SPEAKER_03:There is a back wall that is very thick.
SPEAKER_04:Um and and one thing I was reading is that actually Irma VEP is uh what do you call that? Anagram for vampire. Vampire. Yes. Well, the letter is a vampire. Yes. So even that's kind of a play on everything. But but behind the scenes, I mean, this thing I imagine being a comedy and all that, and all the switches, I mean, how do they do it?
SPEAKER_03:I mean, I told them, I said, you're in your mid-twenties, ten years from now, you will not be able to do this. It is a cardio workout. They are both drenched in sweat by the end of it. And we've had the uh the worst time trying to figure out such things as how do we keep this mustache on? You know, Drake plays the Lord of the Manor and the Crazy Maid. And so he has to put on this little Errol Flynn pencil-thin mustache that's just taped on, and he's got to take it off, then he's got to put it back on, take it off, put it back on. And they're both heavy sweaters, uh not like a sweater you wear when you're cold, but like sweat pouring off of their brow. And um, so we had a blast in rehearsal, but it it really is a technically difficult show in that remembering who you are at any given moment, especially if the dressers happen to give you the wrong costume by accident. And that has happened. At one point they came on and he said, wait a minute, and he went backstage and changed. Came back out, said, Okay, now we can continue. But uh, you know, we've worked very hard on making each of the characters distinct so that they don't sound like each other. And what's fun for me is to watch the audience, uh, for those who may not know it's they're only two actors, to see them watch the show and not realize the same person is playing these different characters, after a while they finally get it. But uh, it's been great. Milltown Family Dentistry actually gave Cameron some fake Bubba teeth that uh are accustomed to his his mouth. So he has to put in these nasty teeth when he plays the uh disgusting um servant Nicodemus and then take them out as he comes in as the new lady of the house. You can't believe that. That's that's what you call range. That is range right there, yeah.
SPEAKER_04:So uh so yeah. Uh how how do you get tickets?
SPEAKER_03:Tickets, easiest way is milltownplayers.org. Yes, very affordable. Very affordable. We like to keep our tickets the cheapest around, and uh especially if you compare it to anything else in Greenville or elsewhere, and uh$18 and$16 for students, seniors, and military. You can also uh call us at uh 9478000, or you can just show up at the door. We've got plenty of seats. It'd be great. That's cool. I wouldn't mind going to see that. And it's not seems like it's not scary. It's not scary, it's spooky fun. It's it's a comedy. And uh there's a lot of fun things that happen. I don't want to give away all the secrets, but there are things about the set that change and move, and you know, a painting has to bleed, the fireplace revolves to reveal a dungeon, you know, stuff like that.
SPEAKER_04:That's awesome.
SPEAKER_03:Oh, yeah, and I added some good fights in there that weren't necessarily written in the script. I I do love me some stage violence.
SPEAKER_04:That sounds good. That's the mystery of Irma Veb. Yes, Middletown players in uh in Pelzer. That's right. Um okay, so one of the other reasons why I have you here uh well, first, you've got a couple other shows. We can talk about them real quick. You've got uh Christmas show coming up, always a good concert.
SPEAKER_03:Yes, our Christmas shows are the most popular, and our people love music. And we like to come up with a themed concert each December, and uh, this one is big band, jazz, swing, and we're performing all of the Christmas classics that everyone knows and loves with nine singers and dancers and a nine-piece uh orchestra. Oh wow and we're calling it uh Cool Yule. Oh yeah. Classic Christmas concert. Cool Yule.
SPEAKER_04:All right, and you got uh one one other show on the calendar, but that's not coming until next summer, right?
SPEAKER_03:Not till next summer, because we're shutting down for six months for a big renovation, including new seats.
SPEAKER_04:Oh wow, that's been a while.
SPEAKER_03:They have the original seats in there. In the balcony, we still have the original seats from 1920. Wow, that's cool. And we got a big grant from the South Carolina Department of Recreation, uh, parks and tourism. And uh that has enabled us to move forward on this because our biggest complaint from patrons was I love the shows, but my back cannot take those seats. And so we were missing out on people coming to see what we do. And it's gonna be more than just seating, it's gonna be uh fixing some soft places in the floor. But one thing that I'm excited about are the improvements to handicap accessibility and seating.
SPEAKER_06:And you've had a struggle with that since Milltown Players opened.
SPEAKER_03:You know, we've done the very best we can do, but we're gonna um be widening the entrance. We're going to be leveling out the entrance, adding railing, aisle lighting. And I think what I'm most excited about in the change is that, you know, right now, if you wait too long to get your tickets, you may end up behind a pole. Right. Because we have a balcony.
SPEAKER_06:Correct.
SPEAKER_03:The redesign has no seats behind any pole. And the area in between the side uh poles is going to be a leveled out area, which is raised and level for people in wheelchairs. So they'll actually have the best seat in the house, the best view.
SPEAKER_05:That is awesome.
SPEAKER_03:And I'm excited about that. We were required to have six spaces for wheelchairs, but we exceeded that. We have eight, two of which are on the front row. So it's very important to me that people who, you know, have mobility issues and challenges are treated just like everybody else and have the same exact opportunities to enjoy our shows. That's that's that's gonna be a big change. But to answer everybody else's question, no, we're not getting more bathrooms. That's phase five.
SPEAKER_06:So are you adding more seats or just changing the seats?
SPEAKER_03:We are getting brand new seats, and they are going to look like they've been there for a hundred years. They're gonna look historic. Um they are going to be larger, more comfortable, which means a reduction in the total number of seats, which is fine with us. Right now we can seat 556, and this will reduce it to 417. Okay. Our average attendance last season was around 440 per night. So we'll have to add some Saturday night shows probably in the run, but that's okay. It'll be easier to sell out a house, and I can say with complete confidence that every seat is a great seat.
SPEAKER_06:Right.
SPEAKER_03:No poles in the way.
SPEAKER_06:Wow.
SPEAKER_03:Big changes. That's awesome. Big change. Oh, yeah. Good to hear. And then next summer, of course, we're gonna reopen with a great American classic musical, Guys and Dolls.
SPEAKER_06:So it's all gonna be done in six months?
SPEAKER_03:Yes.
SPEAKER_06:That's awesome.
SPEAKER_03:Has to. That's awesome. Yep.
SPEAKER_04:All right. Well, the reason why you're here too, Will, is because I wanted to get all these creative minds together. To discuss uh to discuss some some things about Halloween, because uh these guys obviously on the film side and and you on the production uh of stage production side, um, just kind of get uh your ideas on some of the productions and films and roles and and that kind of thing. So why don't we uh just start with you? I know you've played a lot of roles uh in your lifetime, a lot of different roles, but what about scary roles? What what have you played that have been like some scary type characters that you enjoyed?
SPEAKER_03:Here's the thing you know, the upstate of South Carolina as a thriving theater scene. It's almost strangely so to be the size that we are. And if you are a male actor in the upstate, you have your pick of a wide variety of wonderful roles. A lot of actors don't like being uh typecast. I love it because I tended to be cast as the singing villain a lot. I guess because I have a deep voice and I'm expressive. But uh I would rather play a villain than anything else. And to answer your question that in terms of some of the scarier roles I've gotten to play, I got to play uh Dracula at Greenville Little Theater back in 2007. I got to play uh Dr. Frankenstein, I got to have my neck snapped. That was exciting. And uh that was back in Easley, back in I think 2004. Um not really not really scary. Yeah, I've played a pirate several times, played Captain Hook twice, which is my my favorite roles. For some reason, I've played a wolf six times. Wow. I don't know why I keep being cast as a wolf, but I am. But uh I will say Dracula, let me tell you, Dracula, oh, so much fun. At one point, I had to take a cup full of blood, fake blood, put it in my mouth, hold it there, go to the basement, crawl into a coffin, they put the lid on me, I'm on a scissor lift, they raise me up through a trapdoor to the stage level. Mind you, I've still got all this fake blood in my mouth. They take the lid off because they come into Dracula's castle, and they're talking about, you know, stabbing me with a wooden stake or whatnot. And at one point I wake up and I jump out of that coffin and I look at the front row and I just spurt blood out of my mouth all over my face. And I had white-out contacts in, scared the bejesus out of those dicks. That was awesome. I love scaring people. Fantastic.
SPEAKER_04:Do you do any of that at your house during Halloween?
SPEAKER_03:Do you have you know, if I had time, I would. But uh all of my efforts went into this production, you know. But uh yeah, it's so much fun to play villains. I absolutely adore it. You know, you can get away with so much. Because you're the bad guy. Yeah. And it's it's forgivable because you're on stage. You're just acting. You know?
SPEAKER_04:You're just acting. What about shows? Uh what about shows you've directed uh that are of the you know, the horror genre or scary type? What would would have been your favorite?
SPEAKER_03:Well, uh I love a spooky show, and not everybody does. And so you you know, when you want to produce something that is perfect for this type of season, you gotta be careful because a lot of folks don't know what how scary it's gonna be, and so they they tend to shy away from it. But um I have directed uh the Scottish play a couple times, and I made that as spooky as I could. I can say it here, right? I can say Macbeth.
SPEAKER_05:It's not a theater, right?
SPEAKER_03:Where we do it we're all very superstitious about that play. So yeah, I enjoyed that. Um I wish I could do more. I know we've been trying to get the rights to a play called The Woman in Black, which is a ghost play that ran in London for a long time. Uh a movie came out starring uh Harry Potter, what's his name? Daniel Radio Daniel Radcliffe. That's right, that's right. But it's uh two actors who play all the roles. And uh but it's about a a a ghost who uh haunts this one man. But yeah, I I haven't been able to do very many scary things. I guess Irma Vep is about as close as it gets. If it's gonna be scary, it better be funny too. I think that's the rule.
SPEAKER_04:All right. Well, again, uh one of the reasons why I have you here is so that you can uh interact with these guys uh as we discuss these. I want to add one more thing.
SPEAKER_03:Absolutely. When I was a high school teacher, we're always thinking of ways to raise money. I did three uh haunted trails. Oh I do not recommend it. One of them was outside. The first time we did it, we called it Haunted High, and it was in the old Woodmont High School. Now it was pretty darn good. You know, I could not get people to come see a two-hour Broadway show for for uh, you know, seven dollars, but they'd stand in line for two hours to walk through a 30-minute, you know, ten dollar um haunted trail. I think the best part of that one was having the uh lunch ladies with chainsaws. And I had them like grinding up this kid in the back, you know, like a meat grinder. It was fantastic. We had uh drivers dead. Isn't that terrible? So awful. Yeah. And uh but the hardest one was outside. It was on the campus of the Granble Tech Brazier campus, and it was called uh the Shadow Circus. So Clowns in the Woods. Yeah. That was something else. Anyway, there you go.
SPEAKER_06:Did you raise a lot of money?
SPEAKER_03:No. Okay. That's the thing. When in doubt, just do a pageant. There you go.
SPEAKER_04:Do you see those lines out there for Mad World? It's ridiculous.
SPEAKER_02:They they have to have police there now to make sure everything.
SPEAKER_04:And the cars go all the way up the street.
SPEAKER_06:All the way back. Like all the way back.
SPEAKER_04:People are having to walk like a mile just to get there.
SPEAKER_06:Parking on the side, and the lines is zigzagged like a maze all the way up. I think they're waiting two, two and a half hours to get in.
SPEAKER_04:You're before your time with that.
SPEAKER_06:And that's for next year.
SPEAKER_04:Now they're charging like 40 bucks for these, right? Yes. Just to go through and get scared for a few minutes.
SPEAKER_03:So what you're saying is I should do Mad World the Musical. There you go. That's it. I'll be behind that.
SPEAKER_06:And I think you pay an additional ten doll to go through the scary Mad World, but then you get the$10 to not be scared.
SPEAKER_04:Oh, yeah, you can't get some sort of a necklace. Talisman in their protective talent exists. Yes.
SPEAKER_06:Well, I was thinking um a weenie necklace. A weenie necklace. I'm scared to death of a weenie don't care.
SPEAKER_02:A weenie necklace. They have that at um scare wins. Uh I did that last year with my daughter for uh uh her birthday. And uh I was like, I might get that. I'm not I don't want to be scared. I just I don't want to deal with it. Um but I ended up not. It was actually a lot of fun. Yeah, it was really cool.
SPEAKER_00:They should make that the target. Yeah. Yeah, they get extra.
SPEAKER_04:They're the ones that get the blood spit out of it. Yeah, exactly. Yes. Well, they have some of those haunted places around the nation where you sign those waivers before you go in there and they're allowed to touch you and all that stuff, where most of these places you can't. But some of them are like super scary. Yeah. Yeah, no.
SPEAKER_02:Don't need that. Yeah. I don't need it. I like movies. That's where I get my scare. I don't I don't need real life scare. I'm a high school teacher, I've got enough.
SPEAKER_04:Very true. Very true. Uh so let's start with you, Winston, about this whole uh movie stuff. Um you've kind of put together a list, and we'll see, especially if um if Will knows any of these.
SPEAKER_02:Yeah, uh so you know there are a bunch of movies that everybody always talks about, like The Shining or The Thing and stuff like that. And I kind of wanted to put together a list of um overlooked or maybe not talked about as much. Um and I did do it in order. Now, a couple of these aren't really technically horror movies. Um, and that's my number five, which is After Hours, um, which is a Scorsese movie about um they call him a word processor because this is like 1985 and it's a person like typing at a computer as a word processor. It's always found that funny. Anyway, he goes out um late one night um because he met some lady and she lives in Soho and he gets trapped in Soho, New York. Uh he can't get home, and eventually gets uh chased by this gang of people who think that he is uh burglarizing their uh homes uh in the neighborhood. And it's one of those things where it's it's really kind of a nightmare, and that's why I kind of consider it a horror movie. It's really funny, but it's very darkly funny. Um and it's got a ton of people in it Griffin Dunn, Rosanna Arquette, Verna Bloom, Terry Garr, Catherine O'Hara, Chee Chin Chong, and John Hurd. Um, so it's a ton of great people, and they're all doing their best character acting. Um it's just it it it is really, really bizarre. It's it's a fun movie. Um anyway, after hours, uh that's a good one. My next one, do you want me to do all of them or do you want me to hold off?
SPEAKER_04:Well, if anybody has any comments, jump right in. But uh, I hadn't heard of that one.
SPEAKER_02:Okay, definitely it's that's that's a really good one. Um The Fog, which is a John Carpenter film, and it's weird. Like it the I remember the first time I watched it, I thought to myself, I don't get it. Why why is why do people like it? Because it's not like graphically violent like horror movies are, especially from the 80s or even from a Carpenter movie. Um, but there's a sense of dread in it, um uh of something coming to get you that you don't know what it is, you don't know how to handle it, and I really like that uh about that movie, and I've really come to appreciate it. Um side note, my uh my cousin and her family, they actually live a few blocks away from the church uh that they use for the exterior shots in that film, which is in um Sierra Madre in California, outside LA. Um but that's got Jamie Lee Curtis, Adrian Barbeau, and Janet Lee. And I think Adrian Barbeau was married to um Carpenter at the time, or actually was he got like all the scream scream queens. Yes, exactly. Yeah, no, absolutely. Um I I know it's awesome. It's it's mother and daughter in the same movie. You can't you can't beat that. Um although I don't think they share any screen time. Now that I think of it. Anyway, um next up is Lost Highway, um, which is a David Lynch film. Um this is another one, it's one of those uh just paranoia, loss of self and identity, and kind of losing control about things around you. Um it's a hard R. Um, but uh so ask your parents' permission, folks. Um but it it there's it's also like any David Lynch movie, almost like music. Um it has that rhythm and pace to it. Um Soundtrack's killer, uh, that's got Bill Pullman and Joanna Arquette in it. Um one of the other Arquettes. And then number two, uh Bubba Hotep with Bruce Campbell and Ozzie Davis. Uh this one is fantastic. How do you spell that? Bubba Hotep. B-U-B-B-A, and then Hotep, H-O-T-E-P. Yeah, like the Egyptian thing. So first of all, yes, it's funny because it's got Bruce Campbell in it. Yes. Um, but uh he's he is Elvis Presley, but like old and in an old folks home. And he uh when he was younger had actually switched places with a with an Elvis impersonator and um through a series of events um could not get the contract back that he had signed saying that he could take back over as actual Elvis anytime he wanted. So nobody believes him. Um nobody believes that he's actually Elvis. And we hear his inner monologue throughout the whole thing, and Bruce Campbell is an amazing old uh Elvis. Ozzie Davis um thinks he's JFK, which is really funny. But they live in a retirement home, and another series of events have happened, and a hotep, some ancient Egyptian thing, has uh uh decided that this retirement community is where is its feeding ground and so it's coming and hunting all these old poor people.
SPEAKER_04:That'd be great for uh Midtown players.
unknown:Yes.
SPEAKER_04:It it is it it's a actually just come out into the audience and I I really like it.
SPEAKER_02:And it I have a little sentimental attachment to it as well. It's the first film uh when I moved to Seattle it was the first film that uh I watched in a theater out there which was really fun it was it came out in 02 and I didn't move out to there until 03 but it was um uh there was a uh theater I I think it's still out there called The Egyptian and that was the first one they showed old revivals as I saw Mad Max uh two the road warrior and the shining and a bunch of other films there and then my number one my number one of overlooked horror films is Theater of Blood with Vincent Price Diana Rigg um and then these next ones uh Coral Brown Harry Andrews Arthur Lode they're also in a film uh The Ruling Class that you might want to check out too uh that's a musical uh great film but uh and then Michael Horden who is the uh narrator in Barry Linden is in Theater of Blood basic premise okay is a Shakespearean actor who is loved by the community like everybody just thinks he's amazing the critics hate him you know just overacting and all this other stuff and there's an award the Critics Circle Award and he loses to some new young uh actor this is 1973 so it's around the time that you have people like De Niro and Pacino and and and these guys who are like method actors and all this stuff and uh there's a little bit of a dig at that but they give it to this young guy and Vincent Price's character is you know totally uh horrified by this and he ends up committing suicide we think and then all of a sudden the next year the critics start dying off one by one but not just in any regular way they die the way characters in Shakespeare plays die. So he goes through elaborate means to kill off all the critics and it is so awesome. It's just a great uh kind of B movie but also I don't know it's it's Vincent Price chewing up scenery it's um it it is it's great. His son's in it uh as well it's it's it's an awesome awesome movie theater blood um and then my honorable mentions that sometimes get mentioned a good bit are Eraserhead another David Lynch They Live um which is now more than ever uh very uh um on topic and then Neon Demon uh which is uh Nicholas whining Reffin film that is really disturbing as well that's another one um Holly that you probably want to stay away from because it's a little too realistic. And uh side note um oh who is it? Uh John Wick. Oh yeah Keanu Reeves Keanu Reeves, thank you. He plays a bad guy in it in Neon Demon and he is great as a bad guy. He should play a bad guy more often. I know he's a sweet guy in real life and everything but he was he is he's one of the scariest elements in it. But the main thing about Neon Demon is that it's it's kind of um it's about the objectification of women um but in a horror movie way. So anyway. And witchcraft of course there's gonna be some witchcraft in there.
SPEAKER_04:Speaking of that have you seen uh weapons not yet it's on my list I've seen it yes witchcraft yeah that was uh that was that was awesome especially the end the end with the kids all around it's hilarious but so you have to see that Winston let me know what you think I watched that after I watched Friday the third part seven so I felt cleanse the palate I was yes cleansing the palate getting my uh my brain cells back by watching that but uh but yeah it was good with uh Josh Brolin and uh Julia Garner from Ozark oh and uh June Diane Raphael is in it oh for those of you who know who that is she's she's an actress she was in um there's a TV show on Netflix um oh man now I can't remember it um it's two women whose husbands like end up divorcing them like l very late in life and they become friends and June Diane Grayfield's one of the daughters in it never mind she's also in a podcast her husband is a podcaster everybody's in a podcast you know I know someone who was in Friday the 13th which one uh the original oh yeah Ron Carroll he lives in Greenville I still I think he still does he played a cop in that movie did he get killed I d he may have but I'm not sure but he has the most amazing uh career and I was in a play with him at Warehouse Theater several years ago really nice guy but yeah he got to play a cop and he didn't know what the movie was about or if it was a big deal you know mostly the cops don't get killed in those movies for the most part I think there's one or two there's mainly just the kids yeah it's usually the kids that do bad things yeah the kids that are you know having sex and on drugs and all that yeah they they brought it on themselves killed in brutal ways yeah but um the reason why morality play yes it is morality play yes all about revenge because uh Jason didn't get to do all those things right exactly yeah uh but uh Don was um he did electrical in uh Friday 13th part seven and that is where the uh the girl has kinetic powers and she accidentally brings Jason back to life and then has to kill him by the end of the movie and meanwhile a bunch of teens are having a birthday party in this same area so uh so you know what happens next but um I did want to ask you Don because I was watching that last night and it's kind of become like a comedy but if I hear another twig snap uh that you know it's uh all the time they're they're yes and they're doing that and twig snapping and everybody looking the other way. Yeah were they oh yeah I can imagine I can imagine it was fun I we talked before the show but stressful but it had to be fun doing that kind of thing.
SPEAKER_00:Oh sure yeah it was a lot of fun I mean we we always say we s we spent four weeks in LA and another four weeks in LA LA and lower Alabama and and so LA kind of got the the Hollywood bit out of us with down you know done with the traffic done with the studio stuff and then it's the wet woods of lower Alabama down near Mobile and uh I was actually down there not long ago and I I thought I I thought I saw a pink ribbon on her tree that said birthday bash which was our working title. But you know it really is like a bunch of guys being paid to go out in the woods and just act nutty just be crazy. And and we had a we would a lot of fun.
SPEAKER_04:Well some of the thing what were some of the things that you were in charge of in that movie?
SPEAKER_00:Well you the main thing was again I was Best Boy Electric. So uh my I was that that is the assistant to the chief electrician and in lighting. Our electrician had broken his leg during the course of our our gaffer so I ended up kind of taking over for him which was fun and ended up doing most of the lighting for the uh for the part in lower Alabama. And so it was that but also the uh the the the one thing is in electrical department we you work with the one invisible thing that should scare everybody and that's electricity. And uh being is that we were we're spending half of our time around Crystal Lake and very wet lot of scenes with people not wearing much protective clothing not to mention any kind I I decided to run uh a direct current. So we had two AC systems here. Both AC which is dangerous around uh water and DC which is not so it just it was twice as much of everything it was a big load but but it also meant we could have a lot of fun we could we could put lights where you wouldn't normally have done them. And uh we had the the guy that did the uh you know they always have to blow up the house so we had the guy that actually did the special effects for Apocalypse now uh uh blew up the house and it that did knock out a camera crew I mean right out you know but but it was a lot of you know a lot of that house really blew up what was amazing is when they're running out from the house the guy and the girl he knows it's gonna blow up why I don't know I don't know why it really blew up but he's like hit the He saw the script. Yeah why did it blow up?
SPEAKER_04:I mean it was a bit of a but I don't know why it had to blow up but he knew in just the moment it was going to blow and they dove on the ground.
SPEAKER_00:Yeah but um I mean it was I tell you the truth it was so crazy that we we even didn't some of the actors were were like refusing to do scenes. So we had the executive producer take an axe to the face that actually had nothing to do with the scene but uh we did get paid after that you know and there were and there were there were other things too but but um you like the lightning the lightning that you're gonna see in that movie was we were supposed to get these big uh lightning generators and and those things are really you take these carbon arc rods that you that they use in the big old fashion arc lights uh and they're they're DC and they make an arc like welding.
SPEAKER_02:So um the thing is the generator owners didn't want to subject them to that kind of sudden burst of power so all we did is uh a kind of a little thing we took a welder portable arc welder and a couple of carbons I clamped them together and would stand just outside the same with these gloves on and when they were ready point at Don and flash flash flash very safe and oh yeah very safe uh I do encourage everyone to not try that at home yeah is that how you do lightning on the stage in the episode I wish dreams good good luck finding the carbon rod yeah this was back in the 80s of course so uh yeah um uh let's see a couple other things from that movie uh yes unless you get the director's cut yeah you don't get to see much of the uh you don't get to see much of the gore and you know with with products that one would not normally think of appearing on on the set things like uh what's that uh marshmallow liquid marshmallow goo uh was was used along with uh numerous things that were red and uh some things that were tissue like you know but uh we actually shot again we were four weeks in the woods there and I think there was very little script really I mean it was all just the extra it's just one killing after one killing after how are we gonna do this director had you see the director on that one had been uh uh special effects on some previous ones and so he thought uh Carl Bugler Bugler Bruchler I'll remember the horses it's Carl Bugler Boucher or something like that yeah his wife Frau Buchler just special effects department would neigh every time he said his name but uh nay we shot him do that but I mean we we shot I've got to say we've got to have shot uh twenty five thirty five forty percent of that thing knowing that it would be that it would never get in never that they would they shouldn't even waste money processing the film because it was just it was stuff that that even on the set we were going there is no way just not eating well terrifier hasn't come out yet so well yeah yeah but I mean the the the version the the movie version is really pretty tame oh it's nowadays it'd be a PG 13 record for it was it was you know I hardly remembered it yeah well it's just go ahead oh no I was just I was gonna say that's the first horror movie I ever saw and it was with you um when it was on like HBO or something and um you were gonna sit there and watch it with me and because I was young you know I was maybe by that point nine years old or something and you were just going to explain okay this is how we did this and you started to explain um one of the characters gets his head squished by um Jason's hands and you were talking about well we had to make a mold of his head so it was it was kind of fun to get a behind the scenes thing and it took all the scare out of the movie. And when it got to that scene it you hear a little bit of a crack and then you see a close up of Jason's face and then it cuts to a new scene.
SPEAKER_00:So there's like no gore and you're like and you were telling me about the marshmallow goo and the stage blood and all that stuff and you're like what okay that's weird and it would and it kept happening time after time every time there was supposed to be some gruesome death it was never there and it's and it really is it's the most tame out of all of the 13th it is and especially when he's running around in the woods and you hear him start up various garden tools he's got a big weed whacker he's got a chainsaw all of a sudden you just put a blade out in the middle of the woods middle of the woods I've never seen a blender with a blade on it you know and all kind of Winston was in a way in that movie I'm down on the set one day near the water and I get a phone call and so I have to run up to the production office which is about a half a mile away run up there and Winston was misbehaving at home so I get a call on the set Winston hearing from Winston misbehaving at home so I had to go and uh settle things there and it was just uh kind of an interesting You delayed the production of that I'm the reason it's the tamest Friday the 13th all the miracle whip went bad miracle whip anyway but you also have a list right of uh or at least some idea of some uh well I've got to tell you you know the thing about the thing about horror movies is oddly I'm not really into horror movies like that.
SPEAKER_04:Like slasher movies or whatever movies more of the psychological type of thing yeah and and then it's it's the people.
SPEAKER_00:You know I get involved in a character. So there there can be a movie that I'll watch the whole movie and it's yeah but I'll get so involved in one character. Trevor Burrus There's not exactly character development in Friday the thirteenth not as much as say oh Hannibal Lecter. Yes you know um and uh and and and and one of my uh true favorites was was for instance in I mean I mentioned Dracula I mean Gary Oldman's performance in in in uh Bram Soker's Dracula uh is so nuanced and so uh beyond the the pale of any other way I've seen Dracula represented that to this day I have a Romanian greeting on my house.
SPEAKER_03:Of course I had a Romanian girlfriend for a while that it lived uh heck of a cook you know before you go on Will did you watch any of the the Dracula's to get in character oh absolutely I love doing research and I remember watching all of those movies namely you know the original the Bella Legosi and Gary Oldman and Franklinella those three there was a part we got to in the script where I believe it was written um where he says he listens to the the howling of the wolves and he says listen to the children of the night what beautiful music they make whatever it is right and I think in the script it said what beautiful music they make and I thought okay is that right so I went back and looked at all three of those movies and all three Draculas say something different. Bella Lagosi says what music they make and that's it. And I think either Gary or Frank says sad and one says something else. So it's all different so I went back to the original in the book in the book it says that as well what music they make and so I uh said that one night in rehearsal and my director chewed me out and said it's beautiful music they make everybody knows that line it's in the movie it's in Bellagosi and I said well actually it's not I just listened to it today she's like no you're wrong you're wrong it's beautiful music but uh in researching his accent Transylvania right the arts critic for the Greenville News at the time was from Hungary in that area and so I had a conversation with her and so part of my Dracula accent was based on the arts writer who gave us our review very good and one thing she said was uh like instead of saying thunder it's thunder yeah thunder and lightning instead of thunder you know thought that was interesting cool so if you gotta get if you can imagine yeah I think so but I'm talking to the arts writer who sounds just like Dracula you know I still know the weather and Cluj which is part of time so they're that's awesome. But one night we were on stage and in this particular production you play young Dracula and old Dracula when they come to the castle it's the old Dracula who's very scary and you know whatever. And one night I'm talking to Jonathan Harker and offering him wine and somebody's mic was on one of the actresses playing one of the vampire vixens was in the bathroom and she was singing a few of my favorite things from the sound of music in the middle of our scene and I just stopped and I'm thinking what in the world is happening and I just kept going you know it was amazing.
SPEAKER_00:Oh wow you never know and never know you know all right continue continue with your list you know you just like the thing the thing that really fascinates me about these characters too is that really the guys that scare me are not the salivating monster around the corner that can't be explained because it has no mind it just wants to consume you know flesh or whatever. But the calculating mind I mean look at the at the Dracula they're they're they're usually very elegant they're they're uh uh and again Annable lector I've mentioned him an education an educated person who prefers to eat the rude you know I have a lot in common with that you know you know um and but it it lets me it it sort of brings that to me what the real fear is and that is the calculating person that's the one that that I fear the most the one who has an agenda a plan that you're not privy to and they're the ones that scare me because you can get away from the you know the sloth you know the you know giant amoeba that ate Minnesota but you know that sounds like a good one the giant amoeba that ate Minnesota I just watched the blob with uh Steve McQueen a few weeks ago that was pretty good yeah oh it was I mean for a B movie was that the B the other one that was the the original the blob with Horseman plays the blob no yes yes it was no that was the seventies one I think that was the seven yeah yeah toward Brando toward the thing but um yeah like Silence of the Lambs is uh oh yeah I mean and the development of the character in those is is is interesting uh I mean you you begin to learn a little bit of the psychology I like that but and in the older movies it was the movies that set the mood it was a it was a movie that had a sense of foreboding you know rather than you know frankly what I kind of grew up around as a matter of fact got my start in the movies in sort of the 70s uh working on a on a picture called Another Sound of Sam it it actually was originally titled Hostages I'm laughing because I know this movie yes I have seen it I've seen it multiple times which I think is more than anybody should he hold that against me no I don't I think it's hilarious. You're in it my mom's in it were a bunch of filmmakers that that at the time there were these almost itinerant movie makers that would make these low budget movies in Charlotte and in different places in the South produce the thing for$25,000 which to them was a huge fortune and uh then get it and they would go around and go to drive in theaters with it in the trunk of their car and try to talk the drive in theater into putting it on as a second or third feature and and split part of the uh the concessions take. So I mean that that actually was sort of an interesting period. Those guys I I I remember uh one particular guy whose studio I bought out way in the early 70s and uh he had done that and made a bunch of movies and again would just drive them around and that's what he did for a living.
SPEAKER_04:Wow all right Holly we're up to you now do you have a favorite scary movie?
SPEAKER_06:I know you don't watch them but is there one that has those elements without Cape Fear to me is like the because it can happen. Just the character of I mean just him getting underneath your car and you know and just the thought of that. I am not a slasher movie person either I don't could care less to watch it. But um those things that could actually happen and to me Kate Fear is one of those that really could happen to us.
SPEAKER_02:The scene with De Niro and the daughter Juliet Lewis is a boat? No, in the theater when she's still at school it's like summer school or whatever that like now that I am a parent yeah that scene more than anything else is the most frightening scene there. Because it because it could be your daughter yes exactly it is utterly terrifying.
SPEAKER_04:Yeah yeah but I like those movies too where you don't know what the the monster is or or you know you never see it. It's kind of like you said with the foreboding thing. Yeah it's like you have this whole movie and you don't know what's getting at these people and scaring people a quiet place was like that I like that um some others that are like that where you never get to see the monster. Even the Blair Witch project we just watched that the other back in the day that was made by students at UCF.
SPEAKER_03:You know I watched that movie without knowing anything about it. It had just come out I had no idea what it was no one had talked about it. And so I I watched that with fresh eyes and it really freaked me out.
SPEAKER_04:Yeah it is because I didn't know what was going on I mean and to think some film students down there we actually when I was teaching in Florida we actually um went to UCF's film department and and sat and talked not with the guys who were in the movie but with the people in the film department there and they made it for like what$50,000 or something and the marketing was brilliant.
SPEAKER_02:Oh that that's the thing that I think because people thought it was real all the way through yeah they were taking out full page ads like we have found this footage we're gonna release the film even when it first came out I was thinking maybe this is real I mean they were doing so well with that.
SPEAKER_06:And it was very like the the the beginning of it the first 75% of it is just very pulling the woods and then all of a sudden the last what 12 15 18 minutes of it skinny as heck like really quick.
SPEAKER_04:And that last scene where the camera just falls over and it's in the corner oh my gosh there was no no camping for me I'm done that will never happen no camping no deep water no not but you know what you're saying is it's you're what what seems to scare you about the movies is what scares me about life.
SPEAKER_00:You know I mean you know seriously and I and I've talked to a lot of people in my work I I do different kind of work now and I deal with a lot of uh the sort of counseling and some other things like that it's the unknown but what if the but what ifs that get us and that's why we always talk about faith of one sort as being our deliverance that's our belief that good will win out when we lose that you know when it's when it's questionable what may happen is it really gonna be awful yeah especially nowadays a lot of apocalyptic stuff is is out yeah uh the meter could be four thousand miles out there right in the dystopian stuff and I would say why go camping like off limits hotel room for me Jason might be out there slicing through your table I'll take a hotel room with air conditioning and and a comfortable baby slamming against a tree in a sleeping bag could happen.
SPEAKER_04:No not the Bates Motel I'm hurting because that could happen too but that is that is also the funny thing about uh Jason or some of these other guys is that he's just walking very slowly and they're moving and yet he's right there. Yes he's he's up with them doesn't waste any energy.
SPEAKER_06:Although my um my cousins they live in Michigan and they have two little kids and they had just watched Jason and then they said oh they were talking about oh I can outrun him and that kind of thing. And literally the dad started at the at the driveway walking real slow and the kids had to run to the door unlock the door shut it and lock it back and they barely made it when the dad just walked really slow.
SPEAKER_04:So you think they're distressed run to the door find the key unlock it get in shut it and you know how it is they always fall down they always fumble the keys all those things that it was by the you know that cat you left the dead cat's even in aliens they save the cat.
SPEAKER_02:Oh they did I forgot that's right I haven't seen that one in a while either sorry not aliens alien by aliens she gets yeah the first one an alien she saves the cat at the end. No because she's I'm a dog guy.
SPEAKER_04:Yeah the dog I'd go back for Wow Will how about I mean we are already run out of time we've been talking for an hour. And our phones don't work. And our phones yeah I know that Zach was not going to call okay so he knew sorry I didn't mention that. I wanted him to come in and share his Halloween stuff but Will uh give us a favorite scary movie or so or something along those lines.
SPEAKER_03:Well when I was a kid I did not like scary movies. I happened my first um horror movie was at camp when I was in sixth grade and I was not ready for it. At camp of all places. Yeah it was a science camp or something And they showed Pet Cemetery.
SPEAKER_06:That is a scary movie.
SPEAKER_03:My wife still won't watch that. Oh, yeah. That was my first introduction to scary movies. And I laughed at that. And I had a cat that looked just like that cat. You know, that they buried or whatever. So I didn't watch scary movie movies for a long, long time because my overactive imagination would take over and I would start dwelling on one images I saw. It really wasn't until the um the shutdown, the pandemic, that I started watching horror movies and loving them. But uh it's funny we mentioned The Shining earlier. I love that movie so much. I love all the the suspenseful Hitchcock movies, and we put a lot of that um that music is underscoring in our current play. But we were uh working on a fight scene, and in Irma Vet, the crazy housemaid chases uh the new bride with an axe around the house. And at one point I was like, hold on a minute. This is a golden opportunity. When she chases you into the kitchen, you grab a kitchen knife and you come out of that door and you shut it and you lock it, and she's gonna bash through that panel with that axe. I'm gonna figure it out. So we have a shining reference that we added in the flight.
SPEAKER_01:That's awesome.
SPEAKER_03:And what's awesome is like the the maid's name is Jane. Oh gosh. And at one point they call her Janie.
SPEAKER_04:Here's Janie.
SPEAKER_03:That's exactly right. And so I I researched some antique doors, and I built a fake door with a fake balsa wood panel. And I had to sacrifice two clipboards, you know, chopped them off to hold it in from the back side. And so we've prepped, we've painted all these balsa wood panels so that at that point he can take his axe and literally chop through the door, punch through, stick his face in, and say, Here's Janie. Good for you. Yeah. And what's awesome is that the whole audience gets it. Oh, yeah. Yeah. At first, they're like, Is this a shiny way? Oh, it is. Yes. That's great. So great.
SPEAKER_04:Oh, that is great. So uh now we've come full circle. He's talking about the play again. And we can wrap up the show. We could go longer with this. We ought to have Don, you gotta come back because we barely even scratch the surface. There's a lot of other movies and stories. Uh we we need to get Will Will in more than one time a year, too. We'll we'll uh we'll have you back before the end of the school year so we can talk about the how the renovations go. Sure. Yeah. Love to. But I mean it's always great having having him come in. We always get some good laughs. Winston, with an educational approach. Makes me feel like intelligent movies. Excellent. I'm gonna watch those movies.
SPEAKER_06:I took a couple of them down. I said no.
SPEAKER_04:I think theater of blood is gonna be first on your theater of blood. On ice. It is on TV right now. It's on Tubi. Didn't I take it on the so many ideas?
SPEAKER_02:I I don't know. I've just feel like it's a part of my past.
SPEAKER_03:Make it a musical, put it on ice. Yes. Everyone will see it. There you go. Get another grant.
SPEAKER_04:But um but yeah, the play goes on um this weekend again. It's what, Thursday, Friday, Thursday through Sunday.
SPEAKER_03:Okay. And we're excited for the Halloween night show, especially. And we normally don't do Saturday night, so if you are looking for good seats, Saturday night is probably the best one because there's a you know the fewer uh more seats available for Saturday night. But it's a it's a lot of fun. Everybody who's seen it has had a great time and just marveling at at the antics of these two guys. And um I normally get bored watching plays that I have directed. I'm kind of tired of them, you know. Not this one. Correct. I look forward to it every single time.
SPEAKER_04:Yeah. You probably see something slightly different every single time with all that. I absolutely do. All right, that's uh the mystery of Irma Vep, the Milltown Players, Milltown Players.org to get your tickets. Will thanks for joining us again. And uh Don, yeah, thanks for joining us. Thank you so much for watching movies with you and your son there holding up production on major films. That's nice to know.
