SplatterTribe.TV Splattered Q & A Wk 14 with ZOMBIE!

SplatterTribe: Introduce & compare yourself to something that needs soap to be washed off. Then explain why the comparison.

Eric Weiss: Eric Weiss from ZOMBIE! The project could be compared to virgin blood - which is fresh, exciting, and delicious. Sure, soap will wash it off. However, you’ll never wash off the feeling that it leaves behind.

SplatterTribe: For anyone who has no idea who or what ZOMBIE! is, give us a history & a pitch.

Eric Weiss: ZOMBIE! is a solo multimedia horror project that I started in October 2008. It was just a place to showcase some horror art, photos, and a few original songs I had written.

Since then, it’s grown to about 100,000 friends and has become more of a community of horror fans, zombie enthusiasts, and complete lunatics.

SplatterTribe: Is cremation for sissies?

Eric Weiss: No, cremation is not for sissies. It’s the perfect way to dispose of your left over’s, or evidence. Whichever the case may be.

SplatterTribe: Define the following words as they are associated to you...

Eric Weiss:
-Music- A thousand screams of agony.
-Entertainment- Stalking, lurking, fine dining.
-Art- Painting the walls in your victim’s blood.
-Life- Undead.

SplatterTribe: You have an extensive merchandise line called Murder Gear, do you do all the designing and what is the chances of a donation for a SplatterTribe.TV contest?

Eric Weiss: The ZOMBIE! Murder Gear line is a collaboration. I design some of the items myself but I also work with several great artists such as Dave Cook, Corefolio and others.

Sure, I can do a donation. But, I’ll need a small cup and a magazine.

(Tribe Note: How 'bout a mouthwash cup & a magazine my electric company sends me each month? Deal?)

SplatterTribe: Name association time. I say a Random name and you say what comes to mind.

Eric Weiss:
-Kris Kristopherson- Rubber Duck
-Glen Danzig– The Godfather
-Michael Jackson- Pedophile
-Mick Jagger– Senior Discounts
-Woody Harrelson– Natural Born Killer
-Hulk Hogan– I ate sushi with him once.

(Tribe Note: You ate sushi with Hulk Hogan? Now that's a story you don't here that everyday...)

SplatterTribe: If there are no brains available, what other foods could a Zombie get by on?

SyFy Channel's ZombieHunters?

Eric Weiss: Zombies enjoy flesh, entrails, marrow, and organs. Tacos also.

(Tribe Note: The irony here is the last time I ate at Taco Bell, I think they tried to pass entrails off as lettuce & tomatoes. Ironic indeed...)

SplatterTribe: How do you feel about remakes of Horror Movie Classics?

Eric Weiss: I could care less. A remake doesn’t make the original go away and nobody is forcing me to watch it.

Worst case, it’s a shitty movie. Best case, it’s decent and turns a whole new audience on to the original.

SplatterTribe: What comes to mind when you hear the word SplatterTribe?

Eric Weiss: Dismembered Native Americans.

SplatterTribe: Any chances of working SplatterTribe into one of your songs?

Eric Weiss: I’m sure there’s a chance.

SplatterTribe: Is it possible for a Ghost and a Zombie to come from one person?

Eric Weiss: Indeed. As a zombie is a soulless reanimated corpse, the ghost of the individual can also control the zombie.

We call typically refer to this phenomena as “bureaucracy.”

SplatterTribe: I ask everyone I interview if they have a good, random question I can ask a future interviewee. It can be serious or tongue in cheek or whatever. So this question comes from the overly entertaining James Roy Daley, author of the book, The Dead Parade. His question is...

-Ever think about giving up?-

Eric Weiss: Sure. I stopped killing for about 90 days once. Not in a row, obviously.

SplatterTribe: Do you have a good, random

question I can ask a future interviewee?

Eric Weiss: Is it legal to drive in the car pool lane if your passengers are dead?

SplatterTribe: Do you have a question you would like to ask me?

Eric Weiss: Did you know that the germs present in human feces can penetrate through 10 layers of toilet paper?

(Tribe Note: Uhm.........No comment!)

SplatterTribe: Make one combined sentence using the following words or phrases...

-Brains
-Splattered
-Salt Shaker
-cell phone
-hair clip
-toes

Eric Weiss: After losing his arms in a bizarre salt shaker incident, the zombie was forced to remove chunks of hairclip and cell phone from his victims splattered brains with his toes.

SplatterTribe: What is the Zombie Kill of the Week and who got it?

Eric Weiss: Triple decapitation followed by incineration. Corefolio got it ( myspace.com/corefolio ) He always gets it.

SplatterTribe: We feature a Proverb Of The Week on the SplatterTribe Message Board. Do you have a good proverb we can use?

Eric Weiss: It’s all fun and games until they match your DNA.

SplatterTribe: Songwriting Time! I wrote 2 lines to a verse and then writer Robert Villanueva wrote 2 more. I need you to write 2 more!

.Me:       I'm looking out a new window
             but the view remains the same

Robert: My own Opaque reflection
            Trapped within a lifeless frame

Your Turn:

Eric Weiss:

Devour the brains while the kill is fresh.

Pleasure yourself upon dying flesh.

(Tribe Note: Whoa.....Took that one in a different direction, huh?)

SplatterTribe: Any closing comments concerning anything you want said, known, printed or shown?
