Five Funky Minutes with Steven Weber

If Halloween didn't float your bloodthirsty boat, then maybe Farmhouse will be the flick for you when it comes out in 2008. While visiting the set of this horror film, I sat down with Wings man and Studio 60 refugee Steven Weber, who plays a horny, malicious fiend. And here's what the deadpan demon had to say.

Do you enjoy playing a demon?
It's freeing, really freeing. I like the genre. It's fun for me. I like playing crazy, deviant characters. They're all amusing to play. I get to not shave. I get to have fun with special effects and behave in a completely ridiculous way. I dunk and drown and torture a young lady. I poke a deaf guy's eyes out with a knife. I beat people on the face and neck.

Sounds great. And yet so many folks are constantly saying that horror is on the way out.
Who says that? Horror has always been with us and will always be with us. It might go through cycles where it's popular and less popular, but there will always be an audience for it. I'm not that entertained by the slice and dice, but my friend Roger Bart is a heavy in Hostel. And few people who see that film would know he's an accomplished song and dance man and Tony award winner on Broadway.

You just watch Wings repeats, right?
Over and over and over again. As I weep and rock and rock, feeling for my phantom mullet.

What scene has been the most fun for you on this film?
You know, making out with Kelly Hu has been good.

So, you recently had a reading of a script you wrote at the Nantucket Film Festival. How was that?
It went really well. It's called Filthy Dirty Twisted Lust. And now I'm going to go forward and try and get it made. My credo is that so much mediocre crap is being made—what's wrong with my mediocre crap? My mediocre crap is just as mediocre and crappy as the things that are being made, so why not make it?
