The Interviews

Aaron Hendren:

How are you doing?
      In the words of the immortal Samus Aran: "......"

Explain.
      Well, its pretty simple really...  You just plug it in.

Ok, fair enough.  Today we're talking about From Beyond.  How does that make you feel?
      It makes me happy in ways I cant describe...  For I know not the combination.

Now to specifics, describe, if you will, your reaction to seeing the alien spacecraft set design for the first time.
      I was like, "Feces!  That hilarious!" then I forgot where I was for a second, kinda like the movie magic you feel when You're cheering at the end of Titanic, not only for the death of Leo's character, but because the movie is in the home stretch...finally.  I Don't know what I'm talking about. 

How was it working under the direction of the glorious Dave Casey?
      All that, and a bag o' chips, baby.

How was it acting beside the talent of the glorious Dave Casey?
      ....he was acting?

Is it actually possible to be in the same room as such a brilliant force as Dave Casey?
      Yeah...  Wait, what?

Have you ever met aliens like those of From Beyond?
    Many times actually.  I helped cast their respective roles.  They tried to actually take over the project, so we took their sign-on bonuses.  They behaved after that.

Because I have...  seriously.
      Really?  Maybe we should all go out for glintaz and clot-snitors sometime.

On a scale of one to Don Knotts, how would you rate From Beyond?
      Don Knotts, of course!  There's no film in history quite like From beyond...or Don Knotts rather....

If monkeys take over the world, what is your plan of escape?  Or what is your plan of attack?
      Damn dirty apes---I mean...  I wouldn't fight them...  I'd be their non-feces-flinging friend...heh heh >:D

I only ask because it's on its way, and I hoped somebody was more prepared than I am.
      Oh, well the only advice I can give you right now is buy lots of plastic gloves and gas mask filters...  Ya know, cause of the feces and stuff.... Alright. 

So, all in all, what was the greatest From Beyond on-set moment?
      Hmm...  It's a toss-up between doing the songs, and any time Justin destroyed something with his "clumsy hands."


Ted Stoltzfus:

How are you doing?
Not too bad.

Explain.
Well, it's a ritualistic greeting literally meaning "Horrible, but why the heck do you care? Stop bugging me."  But at the same time it acknowledges the initial ritualistic query which pretends to express interest in my current condition.  Grammatically speaking "not" is a negative term which reverses the meaning of the phrase "too bad."  Ordinarily "bad" is an adjective meaning less than neutral.  The modifier "too" indicates that the bad in question is even worse than normal.  In the case of this shortened statement "too bad" is modifying the unstated "you" mentioned in the question directed towards the interviewee.

Ok, fair enough.  Today we're talking about From Beyond.  How does that make you feel?
With From Beyond being the most emotional and powerful statement ever to be released upon the sane viewing public, how do you think I feel?

Now to specifics, describe, if you will, your reaction to seeing the alien spacecraft set design for the first time.
Unbeknownst to most historians, I was actually an integral designer of the Alien Spacecraft Set.  My initial designs for the spacecraft set were based upon my extensive knowledge of modern and post modern architecture, as well as free form mobile sculpture and renaissance chiaroscuro.  However, the studio heads wanted something more in touch with the average American viewer, so they redesigned it to emulate a typical unfinished basement.  Needless to say almost nothing remains of my original design, except for the ultra-avant guard minimalist floor, designed and cast entirely in concrete to symbolize the extreme weight of the aliens' situation.

How was it working under the direction of the glorious Dave Casey?
I will say this:  The directions of Dave Casey are much like the directions that come with the easily assembled "do-it-yourself" bookcase or bicycle.  Any attempts to "do-it-yourself" end with a product that rarely does what it's designed to and looks nothing like what's on the box.

How was it acting beside the talent of the glorious Dave Casey?
Being cast as a supporting character, I was allowed no contact with Mr. Dave Casey.  Any scenes where we might interact were filmed in two different studios with our respective scenes put together in editing.  Any times that appeared together on camera were also filmed separately, and digitally combined in post-production.  In a very real sense, I literally was acting like I was beside Mr. Casey.

Is it actually possible to be in the same room as such a brilliant force as Dave Casey?
Apparently not.

Have you ever met aliens like those of From Beyond?
No, all the aliens I've met were relatively intelligent.

Because I have...  seriously.
I don't think so.  Most likely they were human imposters.

On a scale of one to Don Knotts, how would you rate From Beyond?
Banana Kiwi, definitely.

If monkeys take over the world, what is your plan of escape?  Or what is your plan of attack?
I'll probably hook up with some of those relatively intelligent aliens.

I only ask because it's on its way, and I hoped somebody was more prepared than I am.
Well I just checked and they said that I'm absolutely the last one to get a seat.  Sorry.  You'll just have to get your own plan.

Alright.  So, all in all, what was the greatest From Beyond on-set moment?
There was this one time; we were all wrapping up for the day.  I was just about to leave the set when all of a sudden the glorious Dave Casey appeared.  I heard from someone else that the studio accidentally scheduled him for the wrong stage or something, but he was most definitely not supposed to be there.  He stepped out of his armored stretch limo and found himself amidst sweaty, tired crew members and lowly supporting cast members.  For a few monumentous seconds I was able to glance upon his luminate continence, then, just as suddenly, he fainted and was instantly hustled back into the car, which sped off.  Later we heard he was 6 weeks in therapy for inadvertently interacting with the scum of movie production.  You may have seen it in the paper:  the studio claimed he had a genetic low-blood pressure problem which caused him some trouble under the hot lights, but now you know the real story.  Yeah; it was definitely the coolest thing I experienced in the entire making of the movie.


Graham Woolley:

How are you doing?
All right, actually.  The haze hasn't worn off yet and she's still passed out.

Explain.
Well see, I was at this party, and—

Ok, fair enough.  Today we're talking about From Beyond.  How does that make you feel?
Hey don't interrupt me, you jaundice encrusted non-endeavor!  Here I am, just recovering from a hang*Cough* I mean illness and...  Oh fine.  Be that way.  From Beyond is god, and it controls me unto its unholy labyrinth of killer and killed.  One unto the next, and so it spirals deeper and deeper past, past oceans and past mountains, past flubbed lines and badly edited segments, to the*cut*

Now to specifics, describe, if you will, your reaction to seeing the alien spacecraft set design for the first time.
Amazing!  Green fans and tubes, and long pieces of wood and basements!  And chlorophyll siphoning its greenness upon us all.  No cats though.  Kind of sad about that.

How was it working under the direction of the glorious Dave Casey?
It was like petting a cat and slitting my throat at the same time - warm, furry, but draining.

How was it acting beside the talent of the glorious Dave Casey?
It was like slitting a cat, and petting a goat at the same time - meowing, writhing, and a kick in the face.  Virulent and vicious.

Is it actually possible to be in the same room as such a brilliant force as Dave Casey?
Obviously not.  I might die or be planegated to the astral dimensions ranging from the World of Coyote Ugly, which is quite pleasant, to the World of Burning Flesh and Empty Pantries, which is SAD and HURTING and BAD.  I'm not willing to take that chance.

Have you ever met aliens like those of From Beyond?
Hahahahahahahahahaaaaaa........  Yes.I mean no!Tell my therapist no!
[Waves hands at imaginary flies.]

Because I have...  seriously.
Shut up.

On a scale of one to Don Knotts, how would you rate From Beyond?
Half-way.  Donuts.

If monkeys take over the world, what is your plan of escape?  Or what is your plan of attack?
To breed kitties and teach them to spiral and breathe only nothing, so I can create a new pseudo-planet of kitties and furry tumbling tumbles to live on and pet and snuggle 4ever.

I only ask because it's on its way, and I hoped somebody was more prepared than I am.
FALSE

Alright.  So, all in all, what was the greatest From Beyond on-set moment? Definitely the part where Charles opens his eyes, thus cueing AMAZING and EVIL SPIRALING music.

Thank you for my time.
