Often compared to acts like Insane Clown Posse, Slipknot, Marilyn Manson, The Berzerker, Cradle Of Filth & Korn. The band combines many musical styles such as Dubstep, Death Metal, Hip Hop, Shock Rock and Industrial music.

1- What was your first experience with horror, and at what age?

I wouldn't be able to pick which age I was, but it was young, my earliest memory of a horror movie as a kid that gave me the shits was called The Gate. I struggled to ever sit through it, took me years to finally see it from start to finish, looking back on it now I wonder why I was so freaked about it, obviously its meant to scare little kids haha. its one of my favorite movies now as it gave me that scar as a kid. I own both of the movies in my dvd collection and I've sampled them in my music a couple times.

2- What attracted you to horror initially? 

horror movies = because it was so restricted for me to see as a kid, I can't stand not knowing whats in the box. The cheap adrenalin thrill you get never gets old.

3- What is your favorite horror film new and old?

Old = Tremors 1 & 2... New = Cloverfield

4- Do you have a favorite subgenre like Slasher, Zombies, B-movie, etc…?

I would have to say creature/alien movies

5- Are there any films or subgenres you really do not like?

I don't watch many B-grade movies, some of them are alright but a lot of them piss me off.

6- What is the last horror film you saw? What did you think of it?

Adam Chaplin, probably one of the most epic gore flicks i've seen since Braindead. really amazing scenery too.

7- Do you have a most prized item from the Horror Genre?

no not really, i dont collect much memorabilia.

8- What’s your favorite Horror themed video game?

Resident Evil has always been a game I ocassionally play. I don't play games much, I go through phases of thrashing it out for weeks then leaving it alone for months.

9- Are you a fan of the Horror remakes or do you think they should just leave what’s not broken the way it is?

I always like to see more in remakes, saying they reuin the original is just a stuipid excuse, because I always like to see what else they can do with the topic. Like "Nightmare on Elm St"... Sure Robert Englund is the best freddy, but the new movie was still epic. I love prequels as well, "The Thing" has got to be a highlight for me at the moment... just how they connected so many dots to the original was amazing. Really looking forward to the "Evil Dead" remake as well.

10- If you were cast in a horror movie and could choose any role for yourself, would you be The Victim, The Bad Guy, or the Hero? And why? 

KidCrusher has always played so many roles in my music, I can never make my mind up which side he's on... he would probably make a better bad guy, but he's often killing bad guys too, so a bit of everything.

11- (The Classics) Who would you invite to your birthday party first Jason, Freddy, or Michael or Other?

Always been a fan of Jason, but i highly doubt any of them would be interested in celebrating a birthday. maybe a deathday?

12- (Newer) Who would you invite to your birthday party first Victor Crowley, The Orphan Killer, Stitches The Clown, or Other?

Tucker & Dale.... that'd make one doozey of a day.

13- Do you have anything else you’d like to say about the Horror Genre? Or to any of your fan’s reading this?

I've been working on a short music video movie for my upcoming album Metal Murder 3D,, its not as long as I wanted it to be, but it was fun as hell to make. Not sure when its dropping yet, but hopefully before the end of the year.

Bonus Question
Are there any Australian Horror movie's that stand out in your mind, that we may have missed over here in North America?

The Loved Ones, thats all i can really think off the top of my head.

Friday the 13th step aside and make way for an insanely talented artist by the name of Wednesday 13 who's been rocking our ear drums for over 20 year's! I first discovered Wednesday 13 through the Murderdolls when I was 16 when Beyond The Valley Of The Murderdolls came out, i couldn't get enough of it, At the time I'd never heard anything quite like it before i was into Death Metal and Hardcore Rap from the 80's & 90's i know weird taste but i loved the Fuck You attitude in it. I probably listened to that CD 150-200 time's before Wednesday released his first solo Transylvania 90210: Songs of Death, Dying, and the Dead in 2005 and have continued eagerly waiting for every new release he put's out so much so, instead of ordering Skeleton's off the internet since it was a Hot Topic exclusive and we don't have Hot Topic's in Canada, I drove 16 hours to Seattle to buy it! haha ok I didn't just go for the CD I had a concert to go see but the first thing I did in Seattle was stop at the first mall I came across and bought it!! it was like Xmas in June for me. There's not many artist's anymore that put out solid CD's where every song is a hit but Wednesday has never disappointed and i look forward to always supporting Wednesday's music no matter what. Wednesday 13 is the perfect example of PLENTY OF HORROR and for that i thank him for never giving up on the Horror Genre!! And remember IF IT AIN'T HORROR IT AIN'T SHIT!
