4. What four peoples' faces would you put on your own personal Mt. Rushmore?
1. Alfred Hitchcock - He changed the way people thought about horror movies. This has made a huge impact on my interests in life. I probably wouldn't have written the same kind of songs if it weren't for him.
2. June Cash - June was so beautiful, inside and out. She rocked out with so much grace and class. Definitely an inspiration to me. There have been moments where I asked myself.. What would June do?
3. Glenn Danzig - I mean he loves his cats, created The Misfits, Samhain and Danizg... Punk/metal legend. Not much else I can say about that.
4. Quentin Tarantino - He helped shaped a lot of 90's pop culture - movies, style, bands..etc. Which has influenced a lot of my garage and surf inspirations.
5. What's the last album you bought?
I think it was Detroit Cobras - Baby.
6. What are the last movies you saw in theaters and on DVD/Blu-Ray?
The last movie I saw in the theater was Django Unchained. AMAZING! The story, the characters, and the acting was all just phenomenal
The last movie I watched on Netflix was VHS. I really liked it. I thought it was kind of long, but it was pretty scary. I do have tons of unanswered questions about it.
7. What's the last podcast you listened to?
Trick or Treat Radio! Those guys rule. They make me laugh, and I also learn more about the underground horror world.
8. What's the last video game you played?
Mortal Kombat on Xbox 360, Kitan is my go to character. I'm usually horrible at most video games though.
9. What's the last book you read?
The Satanic Witch - Anton Lavey
10. What are your favorite sports teams?
I am not really into sports, so I don't really have any favorite teams. But I do enjoy watching soccer (football) and Australian football. You know where there are people usually carried off the field on stretchers and stuff.
11. What cartoon or comic book character can you relate to the most?
My teenage years was, I think Stormer, from the Cartoon Jem. She was dark and timid but knew her self worth. If someone wronged her, she would figure out a non confrontational way to get back at them. She pretty much got along with everyone and rarely spoke negatively about Jem.
But Lately I think it's Elektra - She gets hit with all kinds of yucky information but keeps moving forward and keeps kicking butt. She never forgets her main goals and main focus.

13. If you could spend the day at an amusement park with one person from the entertainment industry, who would it be and why?
Kristen Wiig. She just seems like she would be fun to hang out with in general. She wouldn't wine or complain if we had to wait in line... she would just entertain me with silly stories or her stand up.
