Noisecreep.com conducted a series of interviews recently where they asked musicians from known bands to tell us about their favourite horror films. THE DEVIL WEARS PRADA’s Jeremy DePoyster described his as follows:

“The phrase ‘horror movie’ brings a nightmare to my head, not of ghouls or ghosts, but of cheesy special effects, B-movie plotlines, and fourth grade sleepovers. Though I can appreciate the groundbreaking mood of ‘Psycho,’ the classics of Bela Lugosi or ‘Nosferatu,’ the true horror gem for me is ‘The Shining,’ ofStanley Kubrick direction. This film, based on master Stephen King’s gruesome novel, brings not only terror, suspense and one crazy Jack Nicholson together, but is a true work of art in a genre clouded by cheese and a lack of substance. The shots, the acting, and Kubrick’s famed vision make this one scary treat in the Halloween season!”

Noisecreep.com conducted a series of interviews recently where they asked musicians from known bands to tell us about their favourite horror films. THEORY OF A DEADMAN’s Tyler Connolly described his as follows:

“‘Poltergeist’ is one of my favorite films. I first experienced this movie when I was young, so of course anything you see when you’re a kid pretty much ruins you for eternity. The part where the guy slowly tears his own face apart in the mirror was the best part. Needless to say, I had some serious nightmares for a while. My family also lived in a big creepy house that always had phantom creaks and moans during the night, so that didn’t help either. Halloween is my all-time favorite time of the year. Getting the s— scared out me is like a drug!”

Noisecreep.com conducted a series of interviews recently where they asked musicians from known bands to tell us about their favourite horror films. DEVILDRIVER’s Dez Fafara described his as follows:

“I guess my favorite would be a toss-up between two films. One you’re probably already familiar with and the other one you may need to make yourself acquainted with ASAP. The first is the original ‘Dracula’ with Bela Lugosi. It has everything you need: scared townsfolk, haunting atmosphere, a dark gothic and a cerebral villain whom you end up rooting for in the end. Some of you might not know this, but as they shot the original ‘Dracula’ at Universal Studios by day, an entirely different crew would come in at night and shoot the Spanish version of the film. My second pick is ‘Horror Hotel.’ This film revolves around a college girl who goes to Massachusetts to interview a small town about witchcraft. Featuring witches and warlocks, it has just about everything you need to crawl up on the couch and have a creepy night! Oh, make sure you check it out till the end… it’s worth it”.

TRIVIUM’s guitarist Corey Bealieu spoke to Lithium Magazine about the latest album, their video for In Waves and what we can expect from the band before the year is out. You can read an extract from that interview below:

Mike: That video that you’ve put out for ‘In Waves’; it looks like you all got a little wet making that one.

Corey: Yeah. We spent a lot of time in a pool.

Mike: Is that what it was? It looked like you were out in the wild for those shots. So, well done.

Corey: Yeah, for the water shots in the video we rented out a scuba training facility, and with the magic of lighting and camera work, we kind of made it look like something completely different. The people that we did the video with kind of used their video making magic to transform one thing into another, so it was pretty cool. It was a different kind of thing for us, just hanging out in the water and doing different things. It was a lot of fun to make the video. It got a little cold being in the pool for six hours or whatever it was. It was cool to do and a bit of a different experience than the normal rockin’ out performance video.

Mike: The video seemed long to me. Longer than the album version of the song. I know you included the album intro (a track called ‘Capsizing The Sea’) in the video, but it felt like it might have been a different mix as well?

Corey: There’s the intro thing that goes on, yes. And there is also kind of a middle section that goes on as well, that is an extended bit of ambient noises and it allowed us to add some more footage. We were trying to get a story conveyed, and we tweaked the song a bit to add to the story in the video. We tried to do the extended feature type of video that a lot of bands do. It’s more common in pop music, where they will extend their videos to make more of a feature out of the song, and we’ve done another video that is the continuation of ‘In Waves’, with ‘Built to Fall’.

Mike: I haven’t seen that one yet.

Corey: Nah, that one hasn’t come out yet. We’re still editing it actually, and doing some of that same stuff to the video. The song is really short, and we want to be able to do more with it, so there are more of those breaks in the song that extend it out, so it’s pretty cool.

Mike: The same director for ‘Built to Fall’?

Corey: Yeah, he’s done the last five videos for us.

Mike: I liked the slow motion camera work on the ‘In Waves’ video a lot. It was really clean and detailed. The water is all neat to see in slow motion as you guys emerge from the drink and shake it off.

Corey: Yeah, the new video has got a lot more fast-paced action kind of pacing. It’s not so slow and looks almost opposite to ‘In Waves’. It’s more energetic and has a lot more shots in it.
