Particularly, going into the darkness and finding crazy light inside it, to me, is one of the most fun things you can do with your life. John Skipp –Horror is not necessarily the point, but it is one of the great secret ingredients that makes things lively, just playing with the darkness.
We like to entertain and get audiences really riled up. (John laughs) You just have to keep going, making crazy, wild, fucked up shit that really gets an audience riled up. John Skipp –Of course! It has been, pretty much, our entire lives in one way or another, and it remains fun to this day.Īndrew Kasch – Yeah, it has an absolute blast. Is it safe to say that creating Horror is a passion for you both? Now bonding over their love for all things Horror, these two men have made it their mission to bring never-before-seen ideas to the genre table. Recently, these two creative, excitable Horror lovers sat down to talk at length about their most recent project, their Horror-filled passions, movie music, the art of filmmaking, all the while running the gamut from witty one-liners to in-depth, heavy discussions.Ĭ – You both have been involved in the Horror genre, between writing, editing and directing for many years now. They also co-directed a short, titled Stay At Home Dad, back in 2012. Although, Tales of Halloween is not the first time these two have worked together. As for Kasch, although he may currently have more editing credits on his resume, his biggest claim to fame was the four hour New Line Cinema retrospective Never Sleep Again: The Elm Street Legacy in 2010, an expository look at the characters from the world of Freddy Krueger that was filled with never before seen footage and rare photos. Not only has he written screenplays, but he has also acted in films such as 1990’s Nightbreed and has written and performed songs for his band, Mumbo’s Brain, along with guitarist Chris Poland of Megadeth. Mostly working behind the scenes, Skipp made his name writing Horror long before directing it – his first short story, “The Long Ride,” was published in Twilight Zone magazine back in 1982, and since, he has written and edited dozens of novels and anthologies, along with the story for A Nightmare on Elm Street 5: The Dream Child (1989). The closing credits of the recent 2015 anthology Tales of Halloween may be the first time mainstream Horror lovers have seen the names of directors Andrew Kasch and John Skipp, but they have both been in the business for quite some time now.
