For each production at TMT, we like to ask our cast and crew members a few questions, so we and you can get to know them better! Some questions are standard. Some are specific to the show these folks are working on. Some are biographical, some are philosophical, and some are completely off the wall! But all of these questions provide a little insight into the wonderful artists that make up our Magnetic community.
See what these colorful creatives have to say, then grab your tickets and come see them in The Splatter Play, now extended through October 28!
Today we asked the ensemble: What is your favorite B-side horror movie? (Or C or D-side, we don't judge!)
Erin McCarson, Mr. Levinsky
Hausu, although I would argue it's A+!
Dwight Chiles, Harlowe Dexter-Ward/Mom
Fave B, C or D horror movie...anything with a zombie in it.
Love Zombies.
Ashleigh Goff, Mother Ironwood/Lethalia Abbums
Yes. All of them. I love them all. Hatchet has a special place in my heart...
Daniel Moore, Hames Blonde
B-Horror? Hmm… that’s tough. A lot of what is B-horror now wasn’t at the time of release, or it was and no longer is. I’ve been a horror buff since I was a very young kid, my mom worked at a movie rental store in the 90s/00s and I watched every single horror movie they had. My favorite horror franchise of all time (for many reasons including nostalgia) has to be Scream, I’ve loved them ALL! Don’t fight me about it, you won’t win. My second favorite franchise of all time is Friday the 13th. Look, Freddy is awesome and Robert Englund is a horror icon but I’ll take Jason Voorhees over Freddy any day. The original 3 Jason movies are staples in the industry and the rest are absolutely bonkers! I will always choose a straightforward slasher over a supernatural film any day of the week.
Skyler Goff, Dr. Diabolus/Romero Abbums
Clive Barker's Nightbreed.
Evan Eckstrom, Stage Manager
The Leprechaun trilogy is corny as heck, but I love it. Jennifer Aniston is involved in the first film, which is funny to me.
Jason Phillips, Uncle Ivill
Elvira: Mistress of the Dark.
Zach Knox, Composer
House.
Morgan Miller, Tina
Scary Movie.
And here’s what some other members of our amazing crew said (they defied all attempts at photos!)
Christine Caldemeyer (Costume Design): It’s a toss-up between Bats, and the Tremors series. I love a good bad monster movie.
Brandon McIver (Set/Special Effects): Dead Alive.
Abby Auman (Playwright/Light Design): I collect Vincent Price movies, and my favorites vary depending on mood, company, whim, planetary conjunctions, and snack pairings.
Amanda Brown (Scenic Design/Pooky Egg Maker): Slither!
What about you, dear reader?
Get your tickets to Splatter and maybe….it’ll be your new favorite!
