Your ongoing series The
7 Nightmares Girl - in a few words, what is it about?
The series is a mystery-horror-thriller. It starts with Amanda, a young
actress who is kidnapped by a young crazy women, Annika, who forces Amanda's
parents and sister to kill young women to save their daughter's life. Amanda's
sister Angela discovers that Amanda is a member of a secet circle of witches
who intend to take over politics and the big conglomerates. Politics and
conglomerates however are already taken over by a secret circle of vampires
and
cannibals, who are even more interested in making money than in blood. The Pope
who fights witches and vampires and cannibals has his own secret order
of killer nuns who chase the vampires and witches, assisted by Brother Tetzel,
the uncanny monk, who runs the business of the Vatican's banking systems,
and mad scientist Dr. Morloff who plans to destroy Hollywood, the Capitol of
Satan, by blowing it up with his atomic turtles from Hawaii Islands. It's
absolutely
impossible to determine who is telling the truth and who are the good guys and
the bad ones as the story reveals new secrets again and again showing
even fairy tales like Haensel and Gretel in a different light - or as Cole
Porter once made the point: Good is bad today, black is white today,...
anything goes!!!
Obvious question maybe: Why vampires vs witches, and why get the
Catholic Church involved?

Our politics and big
devilwhorshipping conglomerates ARE run by vampires. We left the period
of capitalism and are now living in the period of legally approved
VAMPIRISM . The world is run by people who tell you how good
they are and that they fight for democracy but in fact they are vampires
who suck blood
and steal money. Take George Washington: We are told, this man
fought for freedom. Well he did NOT. He set up a new
kind of vampir-society with his brothers, and while he was talking about freedom, more than 300 SLAVES had
to work for him. Today the world is run by thousands of little
Washingtons,
enslaving people to work for them for minimum wages while the managers and
stock owners spend money they did not work for to buy yachts and Rolls
Royces
and chateaus. The witches on the other hand are the women who now start to
move up in society and become Prime Ministers and Chair(wo)men of the
Board
and behave as evil as their male twins of Evil. The church, especially the
Catholic Church itself, is interested in world leadership. The Vatican Bank
is involved
in all kinds of businesses and the Brotherhood of the Dark Side, represented
by all kinds of secret societies like Bilderberger, The Order, Bohemian
Grove, Royal Arch ;asons and Illuminati, and last not least the different kind of churches of
Satan represented by LaVey's and Aquino's followers, are the
biggest rivals of the church, financing and setting up and destroying
political systems in Italy, Poland, France, US and Russia and all over the
world and noone really
takes any notice of all that, as all is handled quietly and in absolut
silence. The dark side claims they are the light as their god Lucifer is
the light itself, but
in fact they do not pray to Lucifer but to Baal. The Pope, especially our
current one, Benedetto, knows very well what is going on but he does not
attack them
in public as the lines are crossed all over at all times. The church
however commited crimes all the time, absolutely horrible crimes, in fact
the Holy Church
itself is Evil, as the Church has been run for a long time by evil
devilwhorshippers.
Of course, I never mention this in The
7 Nightmares Girl. The series
is just for fun, but for those who know what is going on the series is even
more fun,
because they know the truth is much crazier than you would believe.

Quite a few digs at the
Catholic Church and Christianity in general might be considered
controversial by some. Was this at all intended, did you already
experience some kind of backlash, and your take on (organized) religion as
such? I have been raised catholic and I knew a lot of
priests and nuns who did believe in Jesus and just were good people doing
good deeds. But they never
understood this system behind the religion that enslaves people. I also do
not make a final statement, what I do is to show the Satanists, the nuns,
the vampires
and the witches and all claim to say the truth. I let them argue according
to their bibles - the Christian one, the Masonic and the Satanic bible, and
the audience
may decide what to believe. If a witch says Jesus is a vampire AND a
cannibal (!!!), you may believe this is true or not. But in fact it is
written
in the Holy Bible that Jesus asked his followers to drink his BLOOD and
eat his FLESH and in EVERY catholic service, the priest asks his followers
to drink
the BLOOD of Jesus and to eat from his FLESH. As far as I know, vampires
drink blood and cannibals eat human flesh, do you get the point? Millions
of Catholics are told this and they don't get it! There is a secret fight
going on in our society between Satanists and the Church. The church says
the four Sundays
before x-mas are special days to think about Jesus and in what you believe
and you should meet on these Sundays with your friends and family
celebrating your
joy that Jesus is born. The Satanists, represented by some of the men who
run politics and business in Berlin, intend to destroy this by opening the
shops on Sundays and suggesting the people to not go to church but go shopping
instead, this way destroying X-mas. The same people also demand the shops
should be
open on X-mas and Easter. The Church did sue them and the court decided to
open the shops in Berlin on two Sundays and to keep the shops closed on
the
other two of the four Sundays before X-mas. Sounds fair, but in fact, the
Satanists did win this battle as they succeeded in outsmarting the 10
commandments,
one of them saying you should not work/shop etc on Sabbath (sunday).
Another commandment is Thou shall not commit Adultry, but in fact one of
the German Christian parties, the CSU, is led by a man who says he
represents
christian belief but he does not honour this commandment. In fact, he
makes it very clear, this commandment is NOT for him. This is exactly the
way
LaVey, the Head of the Church of Satan, argued.
Another example noone really understands: In Germany, May 1st is a labour
holiday. Most people do not realize it's only labour holiday for ordinary
people
who are not on the level. Our leaders celebrate another holiday on this
date, the Day of Baal, the devil himself, who emerges once a year to
celebrate Walpurgisnacht with his followers. The first handful of episodes of
The
7 Nightmares Girl made no references to vampires, witches or the
Catholic Church. Were these plot elements there from the beginning or
added at a later date. And what can you tell us about the writing process
of The
7 Nightmares Girl as such? Do you have the whole series already
mapped out, or do you rather make it up as you go along?
First we planned a 90 minute movie but then realized there ist
too much to be told and we should do a series. The idea with the vampires
and witches was developed step by
step. I wanted to start it a little bit like the Saw-movies, when the
story then switches toward more fantasy and vampires and fairy tales
instead
of gore I used the technique of the 1950s B-movies like Them!
or the fantastic The Fly starring Vincent
Price [Vincent Price bio -
click here]. Both movies
start like an ordinary crime story
and then switch to sci-fi and horror, I liked this very much. Tarantino
used the same technique in From Dust
'till Dawn.
Anja Meyer and an atomic turtle |
The atomic turtles in the most recent episode
Dr.
Morloff's Atomic Turtles - now where did that idea come from? It's
really amazing how those ideas develop. I and a photographer were cleaning
a basement and to not get too dirty we put on white working clothes, so
I looked like a mad scientist. The photographer had just been in Honolulu
and she owned some small turles. She took some pictures of me and the
turtles
and then she and another artist made some - by this time - fake posters
showing me as a mad scientist with a turtle and Hawaiian background.
I thought a little bit and I thought, it would be a good idea to shoot in
Honolulu and to add a mad scientist to The
7 Nightmares Girl.
Several months later, when Anja Meyer lived in Vancouver, she wrote me
she will fly to Hawaii for some weeks. We contacted a friend of a photographer
who lives there and has a video productions, and so we shot there. At least
the outdoor scenes. The indoor scenes were all shoot in Vancouver. The
atomic turtles seem to have big potential, but also pose major challenges
concerning special effects and the like. So, will we ever see them again,
and in what context? I really do not know yet, as the next
episodes will be shot in Australia.
Michael Huck as Dr. Morloff |
In Dr.
Morloff's Atomic Turtles you make a rare appearance as an actor in
one of your movies. What can you tell us about your character, about
Michael Huck, the actor, and will you return to the series? For
me acting is just fun. Several directors asked me to do a cameo in their
productions and I liked it, it's so much fun, especially if you shoot
with someone
like Dina or Lloyd Kaufman. Anja
Meyer, one of the leading ladies of the last few episodes of The
7 Nightmares Girl, is also credited as your co-director of the
last two. What can you tell us about her, both as an actress and a
director?
Anja Meyer |
I saw some photos of Anja, she did some ads and was as an
actress in a horror movie and a movie with Bud Spencer. I invited her to a
meeting for The 7 Nightmares Girl
2 and 3 and I learned Anja does martial arts, kickboxing, things like
that, and I thought we could use this, so we added a sword fight/kickboxing scene at the end of
episode 3
with Carolin and Anja. I liked it and made up the part of
Athena for Anja to play in episodes 4 and
5. At the same time I contaced
Ciara, and Ciara and I wrote
the torture scenes with the witch in the cellar and with Anja as Athena. We
added more fight scenes with Ciara and Anja and later with Anja and Yvonne
Woelke.
When I did plan to shoot episode 6, Anja told me she will not be
available, because she will leave Germany and go to Vancouver for a year.
I thought, great, so we I gave
her a Sony camcorder and told her to shoot some scenes in Vancouver. In
Vancouver, Anja actually hired Lisa to play a witch and with the
help of Golden Child
Productions she set up new scenes in Vancouver. They shot with a Canon EOS 5 D Mark
II, and later in Honolulu and Hawaii used the Sony only for the outdoor
shots. Anja did
produce and direct the shoots in Vancouver and Hawaii and will now set
up shooting in Australia.

Dina Babajic |
A few words about the rest of your cast? I
already mentioned Lisa, who is an actress from Vancouver. Dina Babajic you
certainly know, she did play the villainess in King Munsa's
Cookery-Book, and
she was already in The 7 Nightmares Girl
1, playing the
blonde victim in the bathtube. As she looked totally different in episode 1, she could
easilyplay the Hermine character
now. Fleur Muro I found on a model site, she had already played a part in King
Munsa, so Dina and Fleur did get along very well
and
wanted to act together in the new episodes.
Being
as of yet 7 episodes into The
7 Nightmares Girl, the series has already taken an incredible
number of twists and turns. Is there anything you can tell us about future
developments yet, and is the series conceptualized for a certain number of
episodes (however tentative) or will you just keep filming until you run
out of ideas?

I have certain ideas how to go on, but
actually I did not use at least two thirds of the ideas and scripts I
wrote so far for the series. I have also written some
scenes with a Edgar J. Hoover-like F.B.I. agent, but we did not use the
character so far. I also want to shoot again with Ciara, Wenke, Carolin
and Lloyd. Any future plans besides the The
7 Nightmares Girl-series? Yes, I want to shoot more
episodes for Nightmare Follies, I have several very dark scripts. Your website,
Facebook, whatever else? www.gatorgroup.de Anything else you are dying to
mention and I have merely forgotten to ask? Actually I
think there should be a law saying there has to be a Kaiser Wilhelm
Memorial in every German city, or better, in any city anywhere... Thanks for
the interview!
