| Susie | She's the founder of "Mingle Mangle: Horror Filmmakers and Fans", recently starred in Red Scream's "Prison of the Psychotic Damned" (trailer), and probably one of the few women alive that could party me under the table.

Scraps: What are your favorite Christmas movies?
Susie: I enjoy watching Scrooge’s experience. It’s got morals I agree with – esp. “thou shalt not be cheap!” - and it’s got … ghosts! My favorite Scrooge movie is (drum roll!) Mister MaGoo! LA!!! LAAA!!!! Oh and I enjoy National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation! I think many American families can relate to the Griswalds!
Scraps: Any songs get you in the Christmas spirit?
Susie: Most Christmas songs make me depressed. They go on and on about how Christmas is not like it used to be… blah blah…. Well, it’s all too true, but let’s move on and be happy and grateful how it is now! And what about that God-awful song that they play over and over again?! “If Mama Sees Jesus Tonight” is a song about a little poor boy whose “mama” is dying.
He wants to buy a pair of shoes he can’t afford so that her corpse can look beautiful when she sees her Maker. Well, it’s nice to know that he has the confidence that she’s goin’ to Heaven, but can any song be more … DEPRESSING?!!! Don’t these radio stations realize that Christmas is the biggest suicide holiday of the year?! Why are the sad sappy songs being forced down our throats when we want to enjoy the holidays?! Stop playing that depressing music and contributing to the increasing suicide rate!
Oh. Sorry about that. Where were we? Oh, are there any songs that get me in the Christmas spirit? Well, if I’m not depressed from the sad-sack music that’s been playing, the number one song in our house during the holidays is the Sleigh Ride song. Every time it plays we clap and jump up and down so our African Grey parrot, Einstein, can start dancing and whistling to the song. She loves that song! It’s lively. It’s happy. No depressing words like, “the parrots in the jungle are dying off cause of global warming” or anything like that…. | |  | |
Scraps: Do you shop early, or enjoy the last minute rush?
I’m made fun of by friends and family for being so organized. They bring up my heritage and say, “Stop being so German.” So, as you can imagine, I don’t procrastinate my holiday shopping. But the shopping list is dwindling as people are dying off.
Scraps: What's your favorite all-time Christmas food?
Susie: Is Baileys Irish Crème a Christmas “food?”
Scraps: What one gift are you really hoping for this year?
Susie: After seeing Heaven as I rode a Vermont ski lift this week, I think I’m going to be corny and say I want SOME DARN ENVIRONMENTAL ACTION TAKEN TO SAVE OUR GODFORSAKEN PLANET!!!!
…and tougher sentences for parole violators … oh … and world peace.
Scraps: Anything you love to give out to your friends and family?
Susie: Maple syrup.
Scraps: Working on any projects right now that the BumsCorner community should know about?
Susie: I am looking to take that HUGE risk of … gulp … making a movie on a credit card. Oh, I’ll still look for funding, but I don’t want to wait around.
I’m very excited about my script, “Inside Out,” and want to at least start pre-production in the New Year. (“Inside Out” – Lynch’s “Blue Velvet” meets Cronenberg’s “Crash,” with a woman’s twist of monthly cramps.)
Scraps: Snow...makes the season bright, or cold, wet white evil?
Susie: Snow is awesome! And let it snow! I’m a beginner skier and at the moment I’m in Vermont sitting in front of a fire … that … oh, just died … and drinking white Russians. I’m sore as hell from a bad tumble on the slopes today (head first!). Ah! Snow! | |  | |
Scraps: Christmas Carols...get you in the holiday spirit, or more like chewing on aluminum foil?
Susie: When I’m not depressed from listening to the moody voice of Karen Carpenter who died of anorexia (something I can never get out of my mind when hearing her songs!), I enjoy my butterball African Grey’s dancing and whistling to Christmas songs, I’d say, THAT certainly gives me spirit!
However, when my poor mother tries to sing during Christmas mass, I still want to crawl in a hole and die - just like I felt as a kid! Oh, the horror of her 35 years of smoking! How embarrassing! (She’s quit since, but the voice… well… er….)
Scraps: Have you been naughty this year, or nice?
Susie: It all depends on your perception. If I was a guy, I would be considered NICE. But being a woman, with the double-standard alive and well, … I guess I was a bad and shameful girl. I drank a lot. Got drunk a lot. My resolution is to cut down on the drinking. Cause when the a.m. comes and I recall having too much to drink (like at Sid Haig’s party at a horror con when I ripped off my pink wig and did a “fairy bug dance” - as someone said), it makes me realize that it’s time to cut the booze big time!
Scraps: Have anything nice to say about Rufus and Scraps, the Head Bums of BumsCorner?
Susie: Keep up the great work! Keep it alive! I love you guys! Kisses under the mistletoe to ya both! |
