It was superior, dude! It was our third yr doing it, and we offered 2,500 extra tickets than we did final yr. We did it at a much bigger venue. It was wonderful to see the expansion of the con in a number of brief years. It’s actually thrilling to now stay up for that weekend yearly.

So, let’s speak about this new INK music and video. “A Work of Artwork.” What are you able to inform us about it, with out spoiling an excessive amount of?

I’ve been a fan of the Terrifier franchise ever because it got here out. I grew to become much more obsessive about it when half two got here out. I grew to become very pleasant with Damien (Leone) and David (Howard Thornton) and different stars from the film like Catherine (Corcoran) and Leah (Voysey), and getting to satisfy Eliot (Fullam) and Lauren (LaVera), and all these nice individuals. It simply appeared pure, as a result of I observed that there was such an overlap between INK followers, and Terrifier followers. I began to do a number of horror conventions and I see so many INK shirts, and so many Terrifier shirts that it simply appeared like such a pure factor to go on the market and attempt to do a “Dream Warriors”, or a “Man Behind the Masks” (sort of music) for Terrifier.

I pitched the concept to Damien, he liked it and the entire crew was so cool about opening up their sandbox to us. This can be a huge movie franchise, and to be given the reins to play with such an iconic character and lore is such an honor. I can’t watch for individuals to see it!

Now, if you say “given the reins,” is that as a result of there’s some precise characters from the Terrifier franchise within the video?

Yeah, I don’t wish to spoil an excessive amount of, however I feel it’s public data. Clearly David performs Artwork the Clown. Catherine Corcoran, and Leah Voysey, and likewise a pair mates of mine. From Sirius radio, Jose Mangin, who has been an unbelievable supporter of the band and he’s such an awesome radio persona. He’s such an enormous horror fan, and an enormous steel fan, and we bonded over that on many events, and I wished to contain him. I used to be blown away by how good he was on digital camera. I feel everybody was. I feel he has an actual future in appearing. We introduced in Richard Christy from Sirius Radio, the drummer of the band Demise. He’s an enormous Artwork the Clown fan. Vinny this system director from Sirius, simply so many little cameos. We’re extremely excited.

There’s additionally a 14-minute supercut, a seven-minute extension to the unique video, with some unbelievable cameos that I can’t speak about but, however all can be unveiled quickly. That gained’t be within the theatre with the movie, will probably be launched on-line. It type of performs up extra of the comedic fringe of the band.

Now, the video releases to the general public the day after the premier of the movie?

Right, however if you wish to see it on the large display the one alternative would be the preview night time of October tenth, completely with the Terrifier 2 and Terrifier 3 double function.  For those who’re trying to see the place it’s taking part in you’ll be able to go to Iceninekills.com and we break it down by state. It’s in 350 Marcus and AMC theatres, so you must be capable of discover one which’s comparatively near you.

The video was written by you, in addition to Andrew Justin Smith and Paul Soter?

Right. I’ve a really spectacular crew working with me making me look good. I’ve been mates with Andrew since I used to be a little bit child, we’ve written collectively since elementary faculty. Paul Soter (Damaged Lizard) is somebody that I’ve appeared as much as for a very long time. I grew to become conscious of his work with Tremendous Troopers, and simply type of fell in love with Damaged Lizard. Particularly Membership Dread, which is so underrated. I grew to become pleasant with him by The Silver Scream Con, and we type of hit it off after which began to work collectively professionally.

Okay, so who got here up with the superior kills and the storyline within the video? Was it a crew effort?

Yeah, it was a brilliant collaborative effort. Andrew and I tackled the opening scene collectively, and we labored with a tremendous crew. Jensen Noen, who’s an unbelievable director, has been working with us since The Silver Scream 2: Welcome to Horrorwood. He’s carried out all of our movies since “Hip to Be Scared.” We had nice producers and DP’s. Then Paul (Soter) actually helped us deal with the seven-minute extension.

Additionally, Chris Nelson, who is among the finest particular results guys within the recreation, has change into a pal of mine over the past couple years and he very generously lent us his skills, and that’s why the particular results look so unbelievable. He introduced with him that stage of experience with him, which ended up guiding the storyline of the video, which I assumed was fascinating. To have the particular results and kills dictate the place the story goes, and I’m actually glad we listened to him when it comes to exhibiting some restraint. , generally much less is extra, when it comes to suspense and placing the viewers on the fringe of their seats, and I hope we achieved that.

INK has been so busy! You guys have been on tour with Metallica, then The Silver Scream Con, the video, plus quite a few different issues. Are you guys taking some downtime after this, or? What’s subsequent for INK?

I don’t have any downtime, man. Even once I’m off, I’m by no means off. It’s undoubtedly an excellent downside to have. I’m wanting ahead to not taking part in exhibits for a little bit bit. We’re going to Australia with The Amity Affliction and We Got here as Romans in November, however then from round Thanksgiving to April, we’re off from touring. Then we hit the street once more with Metallica and Limp Bizkit. It’s going to be insane.

Nicely, I hope you get to relaxation a little bit bit, man. Thanks a lot on your time, Spencer!
