It was called The More the Scarier.
:07:03
It was-- I was 11 years old
at the time.

:07:08
He was 14.
:07:11
I was in The More the Scarier III.
:07:16
What was that about?
:07:18
That was about--
:07:19
We were riding into a cemetery...
:07:23
in the back of a truck,
and we were drinking vodka...

:07:27
and I was playing my guitar.
:07:29
And it's a silent film,
and then we go out into the woods...

:07:34
and there's this mystery killer
that's killing all of us.

:07:44
This is where the chick, Dawn,
runs her haunted house, right?

:07:48
But it's got to have
some killer interiors, right?

:07:51
'Cause you don't know too many people
running haunted houses, right?

:07:55
In films, it's ad executives
or whatever else the hell they do.

:07:58
But this chick is going to be running,
working, doing a haunted house...

:08:03
so you get some really cool
interior stuff there.

:08:08
You know what I'm saying?
You ever see Manhattan?

:08:11
Ever see The Seventh Seal, where they
have great dialogues and backgrounds?

:08:16
Talking about the plague,
and there's a gargoyle in the back...

:08:19
or talking about life, and there's
Jupiter or Saturn in the back.

:08:24
I mean, this just looks right.
:08:26
This is perfect,
I mean, the way I see it.

:08:28
And, of course, there'll be
a whole crowd of people here...

:08:31
so we gotta make a line
where people can't go.

:08:33
and have a lot of assistant directors
saying, "Step five feet back."

:08:39
I was reading an interview of him,
and he said, "This is my dream...

:08:43
since I was a little kid
filming in a cemetery.

:08:45
I dreamt of making a feature film."
:08:48
I was like, "Oh, my God, this is
his whole life, making this one film."

:08:53
I can lose ten weekends to help him.
:08:57
A synopsis on the story? Okay.
