Treasure Chest of Horrors III - in a few words, what is it about?
Treasure Chest of Horrors
III is an anthology film about two sibilings that find their uncles treasure
chest of old VHS movies. Not only are the movies in the anthology and in the
chest completely insane but they also are violently delicious.
You have produced quite a few anthology movies over the past two
or so years - so why another one, and how did the project get off the
ground? It
was always our intention to do 3 Treasure
Chest of Horrors-films. I always
liked the idea of a trilogy. Each installment has acutally been better than the last, which I think is really fantastic. We
began production on III while II was finishing up post
production.
In addition to Treasure
Chest-regulars Doug Waugh [Doug
Waugh interview - click here] and Shawn C. Phillips [Shawn
C. Phillips interview - click here],
Treasure Chest of Horrors
III features quite a few directors new to the series - could you talk
about the new faces for a bit, and why exactly these people?
Well I am very
excited to be working with Shane Ryan [Shane
Ryan interview - click here] on this one. I was a big fan of the
Amateur Porn Star
Killer films and think Shane is an amazing talent. We
became friends so naturally I asked him if he wanted to get involved. He
obliged. He has a film in bothTreasure Chest of Horrors
III and Theatre
of the Deranged II which is awesome.
As for James J.
Coker, I guess something is to be said about talking shit about me.
The kid was talking shit about me and my movie My
Pure Joy on the
forum of Dread Central, so I contacted him. He mentioned that he had made
a short film and so I asked to watch it, and Lo and behold I ended up
loving it and putting it in
Treasure Chest of Horrors
III. Interesting way to get on my
radar I
guess. Him and I are very good friends.
As for the Cousin
Brothers, they are an interesting group of people. I don’t know too much
about them and they haven't really been very talkative but they gave us
their movie for the anthology out of nowhere. I thought it felt realistic
so I put it in the film. Haven't really heard from them since to be honest.
Kinda strange if you ask me.
Tara Emerson, who
wrote one of the shorts and also starred in and EP’d it had worked on a
short film with my father. She showed me her short film and I just loved
it and her energy and had to get it involved somehow.
With
that many directors under one roof who seem to come from all corners of
the horror genre, how easy/difficult was it to keep all of them in line
with the overall tone of the series? We
gave them all a complete run of insanity. They weren’t given any
limitations. They all just went crazy and made whatever they felt was
best. In terms of story,
the first two Treasure
Chest of Horrors-movies were all over the place regarding their
segments - so what can you tell us about the individual segments of Treasure
Chest of Horrors III? And how much of a say did you have in choosing
the particular segments?
I
had an acquisitions team helping decide which shorts to put into this one,
comprised of Doug Waugh [Doug
Waugh interview - click here] and JD
Fairman [JD Fairman interview -
click here]. I think they
did a great job. I love how wildly different each short is. Anything you can tell us about
Treasure
Chest of Horrors III's cast? They
are all lovely people doing lovely things. Very happy to have had all of
them involved in this film and to have them donate their time. We have
some interesting faces in there, namely Dennis Haskins, who is Mr. Belding
from Saved by the Bell, as well as JD Fairman from My
Pure Joy, Shane
Ryan, and of course the usual suspects. Treasure
Chest of Horrors III is supposed to be the last film of the series. To put it
bluntly, why? It
was always the intention to have a trilogy. We may do more anthologies,
with different titles, but this will lay to rest the Treasure
Chest of Horrors-series. Any future projects you'd like to talk
about? There
are a few I would like to talk about but sadly I am not allowed to. Also check out
Hate Crime and To Jennifer when you can. Your/your movie's website, Facebook, whatever
else?
