Fright Night Horror

When did you first become interested in films? My interest in films began when I first saw King Kong (1933) and March of the Wooden Soldiers (1934) on TV, both of which played each Thanksgiving when I grew up in the early 1960’s. I was particularly fascinated by the animation sequences in these films and was interested as to how they were done. Other influences included watching old 1950’s sci-fi films which ran often on the independent tv stations; by the mid 1960’s shows like The Twilight Zone and Star Trek solidified my interest in film. Do you remember what the first movie you saw was? The first film that I ever recall seeing in a movie theater was Lady and the Tramp (1955), I saw the 1962 re-issue and would have been 3 1/2 at that time. Apparently the brilliant images made a significant impact on me since I can still recall seeing it vividly and yet I have never seen the movie since. When did you make your first movie? I was 11 years old and my friend’s father had a Kodak

When did you first become interested in drawing? Illustration has always been a part of my life, from my earliest memories. I’m not particularly good at the drawing aspect, but I do often sketch ideas into small notebooks, and then construct them them digitally, if I feel I want them to come to life. Art has always been something I can lean on, when I feel a certain way or need to get something off my chest, it has always been there as an outlet for me, to help me make it through things. How did you get involved in fantasy/horror? My work has always had its feet firmly planted in the genre. It’s typically quite dark in nature, I don’t like it to be too gratuitous though, the challenge for me is to create ‘suggested horror’ rather than explicit violent acts, the impact is more effective. I try to create a more dreamlike or surreal atmosphere; horror can be a bit basic or obvious.
