Mascara Machettes Model Interview

Gore Noir:  Thank you for sitting down with us lady!  How's life treating you?

Mascara Machettes:  Life is treating me very well, I cant complain, still pumping that red!!

GN:  We love all your bloody photos!  What draws you to the red stuff?

MM:  I've been drawn to it since a young age, 9 years old to be exact.  call me a creep, but it's definitely part of who I am (figurative and literally). The depth, the color, the contrast, the way it looks on skin, the way it drips and splatters, it all fascinates me. Its like I fell in love with blood XD

GN:  I see you like to do SFX makeup, when did you first get into it?

MM:  As a matter of fact, I tried my hand at SFX for the first time a couple months ago! I didn't realize how well I knew my way around a gash or big flap of torn skin, until the first time I tried it.  I tend to study a lot of the stuff I look at in an image, I don't just simply " look" at it, I think that's aided me in learning a lot of the stuff I do for hobbies. I'm a figure-it-out-yourself type ghoul. Find the skeletons in things.

GN:  Is that an X-men tattoo I see on you?  Big comic book fan?  Favorite villain?

MM:  It IS an X-men tattoo!! My big brother was a big comic fan, so naturally, I would get into his stuff and check it out. I always LOVED the X-men! I always wished I had some sort of power like they did. I recently found out (3 years ago) that I am, in fact, A MUTANT. I have Factor Five Leiden Mutation, which is a genetic blood mutation that cause the blood to clot unnaturally fast. I always had trouble giving blood, as they had a hard time filling up a whole bag because my blood would clot inside the needle. When I was in high school giving blood in the gym, they had to stop because I stopped bleeding, they took the needle out and a gelatin needle shaped blood clot slipped out, laying on my arm. It was pretty bad ass. Favorite villain??? She's on the fence but by far my favorite character- Jean Gray: The Phoenix. Live, Die, Reborn stronger than ever, so totes relatable! XD

GN:  Let's talk horror..  I mean we run a horror magazine supposedly..  Give us a list of your favorite horror films!

MM:  My favorites would include: Halloween, Texas Chainsaw Massacres- all of em-  Carrie, Blair Witch Project, The Shining, The Descent, Insidious, The Evil Dead, Army of Darkness (more of a comedy but meh) same with Cabin in the Woods and Cabin Fever, Shaun of the Dead. I love those

GN:  What kinds of horror shoots do you have liked up or that you want to do? 

MM:  We just did a double concept shoot yesterday! It made my soul feel good to get back into some blood. It's a "Living Dead Girl" concept, first she was alive, cooking and cleaning for all you bastards,  then she was dead...but alive, reining Queen of the Damned ;) There's going to be a private art showing for it at Art Inspired Gallery in Springfield, Mo, closer to Halloween. I'm pretty stoked, I've never been the focus of a gallery before, so I kind of want to puke a little, too, hahah. Can't wait to see what RoadRageProductions comes up with. Tasty little nugget of info, there's a real heart and tongue in these..
funny, cheesy ones. The House on Haunted Hill for some reason.. All the Nightmares on Elm Street, Deliverance, yes, I say its horror XD, Wrong Turns- I have a thing for back woods horror haha. I just recently, believe it or not, watched Hell Raiser 1,2 and 3 for the first time ever!! I LOVED THEM! First one was the best.

GN:  Throw out some links and give us some parting words!

TARMAN SCRATCH N SNIFF GORE NOIR MAGAZINE COVER FOR ISSUE 14 30TH ANNIVERSARY OF RETURN OF THE LIVING DEAD!!!

If you've followed us for awhile you'll know that we try to push the envelope with our magazine.  We don't want to be your run of the mill magazine showing everybody the same tired movies that are coming out with a cover that features whatever new movie paid us enough to have the cover.  SO WHAT DO WE DO?  We add a SCRATCH N SNIFF cover to our repertoire!  I mean why wouldn't you want to be able to smell what the TARMAN is cookin'?

We like paying homage to the artists, the 80's blood fests, the amazing people that helped shape our horror landscape today.  One of those influencial movies for me was Return of the Living Dead.  Tarman is arguably one of the most iconic movie zombies out there right?  Well in our issue #14 we get to not only interview the man inside the Tarman suit Allan Trautman, but also the man who designed the iconic look of Tarman: William Stout.  Alongside these amazing talents is the SCREAM QUEEN Linnea Quigley, aka Trash.

Throw in a bunch of awesome artists, such as Munk One (cover) & Andrew P. Barr,  who also pay respects to the movie, and you have one awesome issue ahead of you!  We also have interviews with Vince Ripper and the Rodent show, Calabrese, Glenn Hetrick, Pallbearer Press, Kat Wilson, and more!  This issue is not to be missed!  The only way to guarantee yourself a SCRATCH N SNIFF Tarman cover is to PREORDER YOUR COPY!  We can't guarantee there will be any leftover..

Gore Noir Magazine's interview with Doyle (video) WARNING! Awkwardness ahead..

So when I saw the posts coming up in my social media feed about Doyle coming through Texas I was super stoked.  I mean who wouldn't love to have a chance to interview someone that helped to create some of the most iconic horror punk music in history?  Whether you like them or hate them the Misfits are one of, if not THE biggest band in horror punk and punk in general.  I mean go to the mall and you'll see at least one teen wearing the iconic Misfits skull around.  We won't get into whether or not he's ever heard of the band..

Without really thinking I would land the interview I sent an email to Doyle's manager and awaited a reply.  Not thinking anything of it and really not planning much for the interview at all as I had no inkling that it would actually land in my lap.  Then the email comes back.. And before you know it I'm slated to head to Red 7 in Austin to interview someone who I had just been reading about in "Gimme Something Better" a really good book about punk rock in the Bay Area.  Now before you say.. "Wait the Misfits aren't from California!"  Oh yes I know!  But there's a story in the book about the Misfits playing San Francisco and nearly inciting a riot.  I won't get into too much of what that particular piece said but let's say it didn't paint a pretty picture.

New reality show.. The odd couple

So I've got this interview with Doyle now, and It's the day of and I'm dying trying to do as much research as possible all the while trying to secure equipment to film the interview as our equipment was predisposed.  Finally my good friend comes through with equipment and she's awesome and I get both her and I on the list to do this interview.  (there was a moment where I wasn't going to be on the list but they added me on last second while I was in front of the venue unpacking that's how last minute this was)  Our borrowed tripod head breaks off as we're unpacking and..  Needless to say I'm a bit out of sorts.  We get into the venue and I grab a beer to help calm nerves and I get to talk to my friends from Rebel Flesh as they were the opening band for Doyle.  Which was pretty rad I love those guys and thank you to Doyle for having them!

I'm at the venue waiting on a text or call from Doyle's manager and it comes.  They're at the tour bus which is about 3-4 blocks away.  No problem we grab all our stuff and walk over there.  (Trying to repark in Austin?  Hah!)  We get to the tour bus and knock on the door.  No answer..  I send a text.  She says he's in the bus just knock.. Already did that but hell maybe he was predisposed?  I knock again but harder..  At about this time my nerves are shot and Doyle comes to the door and opens it.  

I greet him and he says come in.  As I'm climbing the stairs I notice Brutal the chihuahua is already pretty stoked to see us (read as: sporting a huge dog boner) and I waive for my friend to come in and hurry but I guess she didn't notice because Doyle is now mad that we've left the door open for Brutal to make his great escape.  Which in all honesty he wouldn't be able to run very fast in the state that he was in.

"Are you guys going to be doing video?" Doyle says as he scoops up Brutal while apologizing for Brutal's excitement.

I reply with, "I would like to do video but if it's not possible I'm not worried."

Then Doyle says, "If it's video you'll get 3 minutes, sit down I need to finish getting ready".

We sit down and my assistant starts to set up and get the video working and setting up the mic.  A regular corded mic like if I was some singer on stage.  I've never really used one of these ever for an interview I was conducted.  Especially not when I have to put it in their face and then switch back to mine and then back to them.. You can see in the interview it just wasn't working out as the mic was having problems as well.  So me and the mic are seeing eye to eye..  We're both just not cutting it.  I had done my research and found that just about everyone was asking nothing but questions about his music.  Now we are a horror magazine so I wanted to aim more towards our fan base and ask him horror related questions.

During my research I saw an interview where Doyle had stated he liked listening to horror soundtracks..  And instantly..  I'm like okay this is gold I love horror soundtracks too!  You'll soon see how well that question went.  And I'm going through and listening to their songs and coming up with questions about the songs..  I'm rocking and rolling right?  Flash forward and now 10 minutes after we've arrived at the tour bus, I've apologized to Brutal for not bringing him any little doggy bitches to play with (I really felt sorry for this dog and his 'excitement'), I've tried to make small talk about the Mushroomhead mask sporting a devil-lock, the other guy that was going to interview after me has already tried to make small talk about the band playing over the speakers in the tour bus of which Doyle had no idea who the band was anyway.  So now it's go time right?  Doyle walks over..

So I stand up and greet Doyle again and as I've seen him wearing Ghost shirts before I had brought him our special edition Ghost magazine as a gift right?  So I hand him the magazine and without even looking at it he's put it on the table next to him.  Right off I'm a bit deflated that he didn't even recognize the gesture or the band on the front of the mag.  I'm a deer in the headlights now.  And then the camera starts rolling and I'm interviewing Doyle.  And I'm getting nothing..  And more nothing..  And then I ask a question about the music (which I hate being the run of the mill type of interview but at this point I'm trying to salvage this) and I get a bit more out of him.  But really at this point I'm what poker players call "On Tilt", there's no salvaging this and I'm just not feeling it.  Instead of staying and kissing ass I do what any self respecting person would do.  I walk out.  I thank him and apologize and I walk out.

But me and my assistant are not on the same page and she still needs to pack up.  So now I'm standing there.  This is one of those situations like when you leave a bar with friends and say your goodbyes and hug and then start walking away and realize you have to walk the same way anyway right?  So I'm standing there and Doyle calls out "Next!!" and the poor dude behind me takes my place on the couch and pulls out his mic and his crumpled paper with his questions.  I'm unable to hear what the first question is but I hear loud and clear Doyle say, "Next question!" As I look back I just see this interviewer's hand shaking like a leaf, and finally we're all packed and heading out.  We walk our way to the venue and I'm just kind of still stunned.  Just really out of it.  As soon as we get to the venue I grab a beer and I'm happy to see some friends there that I didn't expect and I'm relaxing now and we watch Doyle play and then it's over.  Now I'm stuck with the decision on whether to publish this interview or not.  So I decide to just put the video up on my personal Facebook.. And people are reacting.. This is when I realize that maybe the world should see the video.

Maybe other people can laugh at it's awkwardness.  Maybe it'll bring some joy to some people.  Maybe a few people will laugh at how horribly I phrase my questions because I was so not prepared for what I was experiencing.  Also I hadn't even noticed that the length of the video unedited as it was sent to me was 1:38.  It didn't dawn on me until someone commented on the video on my Facebook.  The Misfits song We Are 138?  Ever heard of it?  Kismet?  Hahaha!  So I'm going over the lyrics for the song and they fit perfectly into the context of the interview.  It's part of the experience now..

 The Misfits, We Are 138

We are 138, we are 138, we are 138
We are 138, we are 138, we are 138
We are 138, we are 138
In the eyes of tiger

Do you think we're robot clean
Does this face look almost mean
Is it time to be an android not a man

The pleasantries are gone
We're stripped of all we were
In the eyes of tiger

We are 138, we are 138, we are 138
We are 138, we are 138, we are 138
8, 8, 8, 8, 8, 8, 8, 8, 8, 8, 8, 8, 8, 8
8, 8, 8, 8, 8, 8, 8, 8, 8, 8, 8, 8, 8, 8

Interview with Annica Alvillar of Monochrome Romance Photography

I would have to say that American Mary is definitely one of my favorite modern horror movies.  Who doesn't love this golden nugget that the Twisted Twins Jen & Sylvia Soska have brought before us?  Katharine Isabelle and Tristan Risk are just amazing in their parts..  And I was rooting for Mary the whole time.  If you haven't seen it yet I'd suggest you stop reading right now and watch it.  We'll wait..  You back yet?  Can we continue?  That was amazing right?  I told you!  Anyway with any great story like American Mary you'll always get the cosplayers at the Horror Cons and every once in awhile you'll get a treat like Monochrome Romance Photography has brought to us.  Monochrome along with Queen Curbcheck and Ryan Wreckless let their inner demons out in an awesome American Mary themed shoot!  Enjoy the photos and our interview with photographer Annica Alvillar!
 

Interview Excerpt:

GN:  Who’s idea was it to go with the American Mary theme?

MRP:  It was actually both of ours (Queen Curbcheck and I) She had recommended the movie to me after the twisted twins had started to follow her on IG. I was immediately inspired after watching it and had noticed some similarity in looks between the actress Katharine Isabelle and Queen Curbcheck. I think I even text her that night after watching it for the first time and said "We must do an American Mary inspired shoot!"  The rest is history.

GN:  Tell us a bit about Monochrome Romance Photography and what you do!

MRP:  Hmm well Monochrome Romance Photography is me lol. As for what I do I like to create stories and characters through my photography whether that story portrays a dream or a nightmare.

GN:  Queen Curbcheck is a total babe! (and Ryan Wreckless was a trooper for being a victim!)  What was it like working with them?

MRP:  I have known this couple for years and have worked with them on many shoots. They are a great duo to shoot and they make my job as a photographer easy. I love them and the energy they bring to each shoot.  Never a dull moment when these two are my models.

GN:  Have you set your sights on other movies to recreate in photo form?  Are there any others we should check out that you've done?

MRP:  I would love to do a tribute to some of my favorite Alfred Hitchcock films in the future. And I'm currently working on doing a female pinhead shoot from the movie Hellraiser which is one of my favorites! But to date American Mary is the first movie tribute shoot I have done.

GN:  Give us some links to your social media!  Also let us know what you have coming up!
