Horror Movie Empire.com Reviews

Mike and Ike were nice enough to get off their couch and answer some questions for me. Their video blogs are hysterical and I suggest you check them out. They forgot to include a photo so here is this small tiny picture of them for you to squint at.

Where are the both of you originally from, and did that part of the world incline you towards things spooky and horrific?

Mike: (English accent) Have you WATCHED any of our Youtube videos?

Ike: (Southern accent) Let’s be honest. The accents don’t help.

M: (Sigh) Point taken. I’m from a small town just outside of London called Kyoto.

I: Sidney, Australia.

M: And our location’s inclination was to pot.

I: That got us inta horror

What is the first horror film that you remember watching?

M: Thomas Edison’s Frankenstein back in 1910.

I: Met him after the screenin.’ Bright guy.

How long have you known one another and where did you meet?

M: We’re going to say what we always say when asked this question: We have always been here. We will always be here. We are eternal.

I: Creepy, ain’t it.

When did the two of you start working together to bring about your particular style of critiquing to unsuspecting horror fans?

M: Thomas Edison’s Frankenstein. I had pot, but no papers.

I: I had papers, but no pot.

M: The rest is history.

Has the feedback that the two of you receieved been mostly good?

M: It’s been sort of like Robert Mitchum’s knuckles in Night of the Hunter. “Love” or “Hate”

I: More love than hate, actually.

M: You get all the hate you need from me.

SHORT PAUSE

I: Point taken.

If you had mighty superpowers how would you change the horror movie industry?

I: I would use my eye laser beams ta fry everyone at Platinum Dunes. Enough fuckin’ remakes!!!

M: I would use my X Ray vision to see through women’s clothes. Wouldn’t help the industry, but it would make me feel better.

I: Ooh! I wanna change my answer.

M: No.

I: Damn.

Have you ever met a famous person in the horror community who was such a creep, in a bad way, that your little horror bubble of them burst?

M: Met…no

I: Know of…yes

M: And that’s all we’re saying.

I: We can’t afford lawyers yet.

Is there anybody that you would love to sit down with and pick their brain?

M: We’ve been trying to play 20 questions with Clive Barker for awhile now.

I: Eventually, we’ll get him.

M: Other than that, Joe Dante, George Romero, and John Carpenter.

What is the worst movie going experience that you guys have ever had?

M: Paranormal Activity. By the way, now 11 people have said that our six minute horror film Surprise messed with their heads more than that thing did. We’re proud of that. Self whoring done.

I: Napoleon Dynamite.

M: Ooh! I want to change my answer.

I: No.

M: Damn.

Everybody gets asked this next question. What scares you?

I: The fact that the people who made Napoleon Dynamite are still gettin’ work and we can’t even get an agent.

M: Thomas Edison.
