Interesting stuff in this AV Club interview with filmmaker Ti West (House of the Devil). Bummed to hear that he isn’t pleased with how Cabin Fever 2 ended up.

New interview with the prolific filmmaker over at AV Club. I like his attitude.

I don’t think I’ve done anything important or magnificent. I’m a worker, and the thing I prefer in my life is cinema. When I’m working in cinema, I’m happy. And that’s all, you know?

A long time ago, in an internet far far away, Deadlantern used to be known as The Keyhole. That site was generally more “anything goes” rather than horror-centric, but we (meaning myself) used to do interviews with all sorts of horror celebrities and have odd features like the one which was a photo essay documenting myself as I dug for the treasure inside those gravel pyramids you can get at museums. Our interviews followed a basic template: half the questions would be “serious” and half would be random nonsensical stuff that most interviews never asked.

Alas, all of those interviews and features disappeared when Jeff built Deadlantern. However, as I was cleaning out my harddrive, I found one. Our interview with Debbie Rochon. This is probably a good 3-5 years old, so a lot of the info ain’t informative, but I present it here in its entirety.

There was a pretty emphatic “No” from the listeners when we inquired a while back about doing interviews on the Splattercast. I get that. But perhaps we might be able to revive these e-mail interviews that we used to do. Might be a good way for us to keep connected to the horror elites without having to change the Splattercast in a way that would upset many of the listeners. You’d kinda get the best of both worlds, I suppose. So anyway, here’s the interview with Debbie Rochon. It’s a blast from the past and a probably a new window into the world that we were inhabiting before DeadLantern came about. Leave a comment if you like it, hate it, good idea, bad idea, or  just tell us how good your mom’s muffins are.
