Q: How long did it take you to get into makeup?
BM: It took about three hours in the "House of Pain" where
Tom Savini and his henchman would do their magic. The first
10 days i got into full costume, and they never got to us.

Q:We've heard how laid back filming was for TCM pt 1, was pt 2 the same way?
BM: Oh no, we had a couple of thick necked Isralies who were
quote "line producers" who made sure we didn't go over budget.
In fact we had to end shooting on July 4th wether we had the movie
in the can or not. The last day, we started shooting the 3rd at night
and didn't stop till noon on the fourth. Actually the last shot of the
movie was were i was running up the stairs with the hand grenade
going off behind me, the entire time i'm thinking they are going to
kill me... what a great publicity gimmick... see the movie where Choptop
explodes! But it wasn't good for camera, so i did it again. In fact when
Toby yelled cut, it was followed by that's a wrap, and most of us fell over.

Q: How much of Choptop was actually scripted?
BM: The plate and the coathanger was in the script, alot of Choptop i
owe to Ed Niel cause it really scared the crap out of me when i saw the
origonal. Most of it was improve, in fact when we started shooting we
only had a 60 page script. They would give us daily updates on lines,
and half the time during shooting they would stop and give us new
lines they just wrote. They made it up as we went along , like the
station scene, lick my plate you dog dick, we just made it up.

Q: What do you think is your best work ever caught on film?
BM: Specifically we were doing a film test for House of a Thousand
Corpses in which i'm yelling at the captive Mary and calling her a
middle class piece of trash malibu barbie, but the makeup guy was
standing in for Mary and had gauze wrapped around his head,
and i'm in full costume. They had a steady cam operator and a
guy that follows him carrying the cords going round and round us
for a dramatic shot. But they didn't notice i was getting wrapped up
and couldn't hardly move anymore. While this was going on the
guy playing Mary missed his lines and i was bumping into the
camera, i mean everything that could go wrong... did. I had such a
good time doing that scene. I felt strong through it all.
