- Sheri Moon Zombie is the star of several movies, including "Halloween 2". Anyone looking for more info on Sheri or her films, can visit her at her IMDB page.
Q: Sheri, can you explain how you first got into the movie business?
A: I am married to Rob, and I would go on tour with him and we work together all the time and he turned to directing music videos and I would appear in those and he made his first film “House of 1000 Corpses” and he wrote a role for me. And then “blam," I was brought into it.
Q: Would you please explain your acting role in "Halloween 2."
A: I play Deborah Myers, who is Michael Myers mother. You basically see my character through the eyes and mind of Michael Myers. He’s stunted mentally and emotionally at the age of 10 and he’s got the memories of his brother. He’s got a twisted mind and this is how he remembers her and he thinks he thinks she’s guiding him to seek vengeance and find his sister and its pretty interesting.
Q: Knowing how movie reviews may skew the perception of one's product, give us in your own words what you want people to know about the film.
A: My favorite scene in the movie is the dream sequence which is black and white and I just think people will be blown away by it. It’s so detailed, and so fantastical, and it’s like you’re inside Michael Myers brain. Really excited for people to see it.
Q: If there were one part of the filming that was more difficult than you expected, what would that be? Getting a costume to work? Appearing in a certain scene? Certain lines?
A: I worked nights every day I had to work and that really takes a toll on your system. Your whole metabolism, your everything is flipped upside down. You’re eating at different hours, sleeping at different hours, during the day. I think mentally, that was the most difficult thing for me.
Q: Was there any one day, one moment where you just knew the film would work they way you thought it could?
A: I don't think I ever consciously thought that. But when you're shooting and everyone's working very hard…after we wrapped and I saw Rob's first rough edit, I was like "Oh my god, this is way better than the first one. And he keeps getting g better and better as a filmmaker."
Q: Looking back, can you tell me a little about them and your experience with it? Or maybe something you learned from it? First, “House of 1000 Corpses”?
A: Such an experience working with Karen Black on that, so amazing. She's such a legend. And I admire her work so much. She was great to work with and I had a lot of fun.
Q: How about “Devil’s Rejects”?
A: Lots of fun, lot of hard work. We shot every day with like just one day off. Me, Sid Haig and Bill Moseley became like brothers and sisters. We were so tight and such a bonding experience on that film. Working in the hot hot sun in California. And the days were blazing as I remember.
Q: What's next for you? Can you tell me what you have going on in 2009?
A: Well we have an animated film coming out called "The Haunted World of El Superbeasto." Comes out September 22nd. And my husband has his record coming out and I'll be going on tour with him and spending time on a tour bus for a couple months.
Q: Is there any movie director or producer you really want to work for one day? Or perhaps any actors or actresses you’d like to star with in a film?
A: I love to work with Woody Allen as a director. I love Goldie Hawn, I love Goldie Hawn.
Q: If you could choose only one type of work (movies, your clothing line, dancing with your husband’s band) to continue doing, what would you choose?
A: Movies.
Q: Anything you wish to add for my readers and visitors? Something special about you that they probably do not know?
A: I can quote "Seinfeld" 20 times a day. I'm a huge "Seinfeld" fan and Rob and I can be talking on set and we can be quoting the show and no one will know what we're talking about.
Q: Finally...this is an "Obscure Horror Movie" website. Can you name the last horror movie you watched either at the theatres or on dvd, etc? How about name a favorite horror film that you have seen that most people probably haven't seen?
A: I'm more into the 30's horror, I love "Frankenstein," and "Dracula," and "King Kong." Actually a really great film is "High Tension." That's sorta an obscure film.
Q: Thank you very much for doing this.
