Greetings fellow Lippy fans!

Last week I had the pleasure of returning to a film set … and it was long overdue. With the exception of short films, I haven’t shot on a feature since RATLINE wrapped. So when Kristoff Bates asked me to part of AFTER PARTY MASSACRE, I was pretty damn stoked about it!

I don’t really remember how I know Kristoff. In all honesty we run in the same circles and probably met several times before it stuck. I think about 3 years ago he sent me a message introducing himself officially and we became friends. In any case we’ve been looking for a chance to work with each other for awhile now. You wouldn’t think this would be much of a challenge considering he’s a photographer, runs naked girl websites, owns/runs Horror Merch (www.horrormerch.com), goes to several horror conventions a year, AND lives in the mid west like me.  However it seemed something also came up or we’d just miss each other and nothing ever got a chance to happen.

Earlier this year Kristoff and I started talking about AFTER PARTY MASSACRE and how I might be able to fit into the project. Cleveland is a 9 hour drive away and the project had a limited budget; I could only really be cast in something that was shot in one weekend. There where some scheduling conflicts too, not on mine or Kristoff’s end, but from other actors ….this caused dates to pushed around. Such is life on a independent film set. I’m actually pretty amazed on how well Kristoff did handle himself with all the changes. Making a movie is HARD, and it’s even worse when people flake out on you. But he rolled with the proverbial punches and kept going.

I made the drive through Ohio, passing the town where I spent my summers knee deep in a church conference,  ready to spend the better half of 14 hours topless and covered in blood. It seems I’m never one to lack in poetic flair.

When I got in the first night I was greeted by Kristoff waving a dildo in the middle of the street to point me in the direction of his house. I then met the stunning Danica Satanica, who is an up and coming model/actress. I’ve been stalking her on Facebook (DanicaSatanica) for awhile now and it was great to finally talk with her person! She’s a very sweet and talented woman.

I also got to meet to co-mastermind behind AFTER PARTY, Kyle Severn. Kyle is also the drummer for Incantation….I’ve been making a lot of metal girls jealous when I tell them I worked on a project of his.  He was really nice to work with and very dedicated. Always a great combination when you’re pulling a long day on set.

And it was a very long day on set my friends! If you’ve never worked on movie set before let me tell ya … 5 minutes in a film equal about 10 hours on a shoot. We had 3 kill scenes to do and all of them required pretty elaborate special effects. In the end it was well worth the wait because everything looked amazing. I don’t want to give too much away … but one of the effects is a leg getting chopped off and meat chunks flying into the air! How fucking cool is that?

The biggest trooper of night was the stunning Scarlett Von Sinn! She stood for 14 hours in stiletto boots and lugged an ax around. My type of chick! Krisoff caught me taking pictures of her ass.I may have giggled like a school girl when she talked to me. Nothing out of the ordinary. I didn’t hear her bitch once during that shoot and she delivered take after take.

When it came time for yours truly to get the ax … I warned everyone that I scream really loud. No one ever believes me. But sure enough first take I spike the audio. Sound moves a step back for second take, still in the red. By the end of it I don’t think anyone who was next to me could hear very well.

Kristoff booked a hotel room for me and when he checked me into the place we were both stiff covered in fake blood. I tried to hide it by putting my hoodie up but it was still splattered all over my face! I don’t think the night crew was amused. after trying to watch a little T.V., I passed out around 4 in the morning. Woke up to a brand new day and made my way back to St.Louis with the help of some David Bowie.

Life fucking rules.

(But only if you let it.)

Greetings Lippy fans!

Okay I’ve got be honest, I’m gonna cheat a little on this column. Technically my first horror film was about a certain man eating shark that shall go nameless. I was 3 when I saw that and now I have a for real phobia of the stupid creature. To it’s credit, it did it’s job extremely well…it scared the shit out of me.

But today we’re gonna talk about my slightly less traumatizing experience with a little movie called GREMLINS . If you weren’t alive during the 1980′s or have just been really out of loop, let me give a brief synopsis: Dad finds strange creature in an oddities shop in Chinatown. Dad MUST buy creature for his son Billy’s Christmas present. Old Chinese dude won’t sell it. Dad makes a back alley deal with Chinese dude’s grandson. The creature is a Mogwai and it can’t be around bright lights, must never get wet, and never, EVER be fed after midnight. As you can guess the rules get broken, gremlins pop out of the Mogwi’s back and chaos unfolds.  And while this may not be the most horrific thing ever captured on film, it is most certainly a horror movie and it’s what I’m claiming as my first.

Released in 1984, the year of my birth, I didn’t actually see GREMLINS till ye old 1989 when I was 5. My beloved babysitter had me for the evening and the movie was on television to promote the upcoming release of GREMLINS 2.

I’m pretty sure it was around Christmas time.

The movie was fascinating to me and I really took a shining to bad gremlin “Spike”. Naturally I let out freakish out bursts of 5 years old laughter at parts that only made adults chuckle. I started making plans on how I could obtain my own Mogwai.The whole thing was pure magic and the best part was all the bad gremlins went away at the end … or did they? Leave it to that silly Chinese shop owner to ruin the end and inform me that there just might be a damn gremlin under my bed! Really? Just waiting to swipe it’s ugly, claw filled hand at me when I got up to use the bathroom? Fuck that!

Needless to say I took this little warning to heart and when I got home that night I made my mom check under my bed. She gave the all clear and I went to go brush my teeth. My mother never was one to turn down an opportunity to scare the piss out of me. As I stood at the sink, innocently scrubbing my teeth, my mom let out a damn good imitation of a gremlin laugh. I came screeching out of the bathroom and stood in the middle of the living room crying. Mom thought it was funny until she realized I wasn’t calming down. Every time she tried to get me back in my bedroom, to show me there was no gremlin, I started flailing my hands around and screaming. I think I may have slept with her that night.

It’s laughable to think this is what used to scare me. The shelves in my my living are now home to some the most gory, trauma-inducing films ever recorded … and that’s what I watch while I’m eating dinner. But there is a bit of innocence lost  and part of me really misses that little girl who got all worked up over a kids horror film. She grew up to make scary movies and kiss boys (and girls) and traveled across America to follow her dreams.

Say it with me now: AWWWWWWWWW

Anyways… March turned out to be an uber productive month with lots of fun and excitement! I flew out to L.A. for various projects and ended up shooting some rather scandalous photos with model/actress Ruby Violence. Most of what we shot we highly inappropriate for those under 18 but I’ve including a few behind the scenes and PG13 stills below … so you’ll get the idea.  For folks over 18, I’ll be posting our sexy set on my website (goddessofgorenos.com) soon!

Other adventures included looting the Lip Service warehouse for new clothing and catching a performance by Lightnin’ Woodcock – you should really go check out his music the moment you stop reading this column!

Oh and I also got to see PUMPKINHEAD on the big screen and the New Beverly!!!

I was also featured this month in a KICK ASS zine called AX WOUND. It’s really worth getting your mitts on because Eli Roth, Rebekah McKendry, Shannon Lark, and Sarah Jahier (among others) are also interviewed in it!

Chad Cherry of the world famous THE LAST VEGAS and I have joined forces  today! We’re here to talk about a subject near and dear to both of our hearts: WEREWOLVES.

These magnificent creatures are often overlooked and overshadowed by other monsters. (Sad face) But today we’re going to take an in-depth look and the mask, the myth, and legend of werewolf films.

First Chad Cherry reminds us that the proper term and definition for werewolf is LYCANTHROPY: The transformation of a human being into the form of a wolf. From the Greek ‘ lukos’ -a wolf- and ‘anthropos’ – a man-………1+1 = WEREWOLF SUCKA!!!!!

The Wolfman with Lon Chaney - click to enlarge

The first Hollywood werewolf movie was WEREWOLF OF LONDON made in 1935. Actor Henry Hull was not exactly hip on long drawn out make up sessions, so his transformations are a little lacking. Fortunately makeup artist Jack Pierce was able to show off his work on a little film known as THE WOLF MAN in 1941. THE WOLF MAN is where most of us got our first impressions of the werewolf. Lon Chaney Jr. as Talbot truly tugs at the heart strings and the sets on the movie are still breathtaking to this day.  Hollywood has remade this classic and will be unleashing  soon.  Frankly, even with  Benicio Del Toro playing the part of Talbot, this movie looks like a big pile of CGI junk.  I really hope I’m proven wrong on this. Either way it’s gonna bring Werewolf back and that makes my black lil heart sing!

Chad Cherry: Lon Chaney Jr.!!!!! The great film icon to make the cursed soul of ‘The Wolfman’ one of the original Hollywood Monsters to play on our primal fears. From there we have received many a good wolf tales over the years (Curse of the Werewolf, American werewolf in London, The Howling, which I’ll speak of) as well as some serious crap (a.k.a. shiza in hefty portions). With the exception of some ‘ Underworld’, uh action and ‘The Wolfman’ re-make coming soon seems like Zombies and Vampires have been takin’ the blood cake (no offense, you un-dead bitches).

Throughout the years there have been several choice Werewolf movies.  They’re number of films may not be as high as the Vampire or Zombie genre … but there are also very few BAD werewolf movies. (Unlike certain other genres that have HUNDREDS of unwatchable films.)  Chad and I have picked out 3 of our more modern favorites.  If you haven’t seen these yet, you are truly missing out!

AN AMERICAN WEREWOLF IN LONDON

This is one of those films I’ll watch 6 times in one month.  I can never get enough of David Naughton’s performance! There are some genuinely terrifying moments in this movie as well as one of the BEST transformation scenes ever! I consider this one to be a modern interpretation of THE WOLF MAN.   Naughton’s David Kessler is a truly lovable and sympathetic character. – Not entirely unlike Lon Chaney Jr.’s  Talbot.

Chad Cherry says: One of the greatest on-screen transformation scenes of all time. Who was responsible for this? Rick Baker, that’s who!

And you thought YOUR porn house was creepy ... click to enlarge

THE HOWLING

I truly love this movie and I still find it to be truly disturbing. This film was released in the spring of 1981 and AN AMERICAN WEREWOLF would follow in August of the same year. Right from the beginning the whole thing feels seedy. The porn theater scene (What is is with porn theaters and wolf movies anyway?) will haunt you forever. This movie also really explores different aspects of human/animal sexuality  in way that make you want to take several cold showers afterwards. Killer transformations and even a creepy animated bit …. a true 1980′s classic.

CHAD CHERRY: Another mind blowing display of ‘man to wolf’ twisted brilliance brought to you by Rob Bottin. Remember special F/X? Physical make-up appliances? Jack Pierce figured it out on his ‘Wolfman’ in the 30′s (and it doesn’t look like a virtual mess on the screen either, like American Werewolf in Paris or Van Helsing). So take that CGI.

Dog Soldiers

DOG SOLDIERS

I first set my eyes on this during the summer of 2006. It’s truly an impressive film on it’s own and a fine edition to the werewolf catalog. I think the full blown werewolves are the best looking in the  history of the genre.  I also love the simplicity of the plot and the strong performance given by the actors.

CHAD CHERRY: It’s a newer one but it rocks! Neil Marshell’s flick means – Sweet lookin’ w.w.’s my friends! Maybe not the best transformation scene but the tongue-n-cheek bloody action is killer! It’s like if  ’Aliens’ and ‘Evil Dead’ made sweet,sweet love and had a * “Wolf Child Baby a Wolf Child Baby”!!! * That’s a Cult song reference for those of you who are stupid….Just kidding

CHAD SAYS: All we write of is true (that’s why there’s book and movies about it dummy..hehe). And if you don’t believe us then I’ll hand this over to the master -SYBIL DANNING- Just read on, she knows…

You could be unaware of your own shape-shifting abilities … You could be one and not even know. It’s probable … Have you noticed missing neighbors? Do you wake up naked and filthy (on-going thing with C.C.) and everything in your place is trashed except the record collection? Do you have mysterious stains on yer carpet and furniture, yet have no pets? And have you figured out that every time there is a full moon ( As I type this there really is a full moon in the sky. Classic.), you wear your Lip Service jeans with the feeling they will be shredded off your body from some kinda ‘lukos’ transformation, or from getting kinky?!?!………..Well kiddies….You might be Rock-n-Roll Werewolf lookin’ like a sexy beast in yer Lip Service duds….Rock that shit and be hungry like the wolf!

As we close this column out, there are probably about 20 werewolf films getting the ol’ green light, so they can ride on the coat tails of the new  WOLFMAN movie.

This is nothing new.

The people in Hollywood can be on the lazy side, so when one big budget horror films comes out, the next 10 must be exactly like it. Hell, we’re just now coming down from the zombie craze! Werewolf films saw a serge in popularity in the 1980′s but seemed to slink away in the early to mid 90′s when the Vampires took over. As I said before, the fan girl inside is truly excited to see more wolf flicks. – But the realist inside of me is dreading all the crappy ones that are sure to fold the market place soon.

So if you’re reading this and have plans to make a wolf flick in the next few months, PLEASE don’t fuck it up! It’s my favorite genre!

If you make a shitty movie Chad and I may have to go Lycanthrope on your ass.

Me and the red, red kroovy have a long history.

As a young girl I would stock up on “Vampire blood” during Halloween time and un-leash it during key events throughout the year. (Church youths groups, family gatherings, Junior high dances, etc.) The little tubes of gore where always icky tasting and often left huge red stains all over my skin. Yet the magic was there and these little social experiments with gore sent me down the path I walk today.

^Me! Photo by Jim Wayer

When I grew up and starting acting/modeling in in the horror genre, I became quite the connoisseur of fake blood. My arm has been fused to the wall with it, ants have tried to eat me when I’m covered in it, and I’ve even been sent into dry heaving when I’ve had it in my mouth. – And I still love what I do.

Over the years I’ve picked up on what works and what doesn’t concerning the making of fake blood. Today, I wanted to share my top secret recipe with everyone in Lip Service land!

First you’ll need:

• 2 QRTS KARO SYRUP
• 20 oz RED FOOD COLOR
• 2 oz YELLOW FOOD COLOR
• GREEN FOOD COLOR (Add a little at a time until color looks right)
• 20 oz LIQUID DISHWASHING DETERGENT (UNLESS you are using in the the mouth … the OMIT DETERGENT!)
• 10 oz COFFEE
• 10 TABLESPOONS NON DAIRY COFFEE CREAMER (Mixed into the coffee)
• 2 TABLESPOONS HOT CHOCOLATE MIX (Mixed into the coffee)

This should make a little over a half gallon. Make sure to use a good mixer for this!

Directions:

• Mix the creamer, hot chocolate mix, and (hot) coffee together. Mix untill powder lumps go away.
• Next add the red color and yellow color.
• Next add Karo syrup.
• Then add the liquid detergent with the mixer running on the slowest setting.
• Last, add the green color. Just a few drops at a time untill you get the color you want. Best to test the color on your skin.

The detergent will help get the blood off clothing, the floor, and skin. It does  get rather foamy if you shake it around to much … so keep that in mind when shooting a “live” scene!

Have FUN with it!
