00:00 Welcome to Couch Surfing, the show where our lovely guests
00:02 look back at their big roles, their little roles,
00:04 and everything in between.
00:05 - A lot of roles.
00:06 - That's a lot of roles.
00:07 - A lot of roles.
00:08 - A lot of roles.
00:09 And I'm here with Machen Amick.
00:10 Machen, let's see what's on, shall we?
00:12 - Oh dear, yes.
00:14 - It's gonna be fun.
00:14 - I'm afraid of, okay, I promise.
00:16 - All right, here we go.
00:17 (Machen screaming)
00:21 - Okay, here we go.
00:23 Okay, so.
00:27 - Why are you laughing?
00:29 - Sleepwalkers.
00:30 - Oh, so bad.
00:32 So I had, I was on a dolly.
00:36 I had to stare into the lens and scream my head off
00:40 with nothing, you see, that first shot
00:43 didn't have anything.
00:45 - So you were just screaming.
00:46 - So I'm just on the thing looking at the camera,
00:48 just, no!
00:48 - And your soul's being sucked out of you.
00:52 - My soul's being sucked out, and then I'm jamming things
00:54 with my fingers, and I really always went for the eye
00:57 for some reason.
00:59 - There are a lot of cats in this movie.
01:01 - I didn't tell them, but I'm really allergic to cats.
01:04 - So what did you do?
01:05 - I decided to get most of the way through filming
01:08 before I admitted to them that I was allergic to cats.
01:12 - So you would go home with runny nose,
01:14 eyes dripping, the whole thing.
01:16 - There was a scene where I have to snuggle the cat
01:18 at the end, and I was like, oh boy.
01:19 So I finally was like, guys, what I'm just wondering
01:22 is maybe we can shoot that scene last up at night,
01:25 and maybe on a Friday, just 'cause I'm gonna be
01:28 real messed up the next day.
01:30 (laughing)
01:32 - The things you do for your art, right?
01:35 - Lot of Benadryl, lot of Benadryl.
01:38 - This film has a huge cult following.
01:40 - It does.
01:41 - And you've been to a few midnight screenings and watched,
01:43 people watch this?
01:44 - Just like a few years ago, went to one of the screenings,
01:46 and now I can watch it and see that it was just
01:50 a lot of fun.
01:50 - A lot of fun.
01:51 - And the audience loves it, and they laugh,
01:53 and they, so it was like they really embraced
01:55 the campiness of it at the time.
01:58 I thought it was supposed to be dark and sexy,
01:59 like a vampire movie, so I was making a whole 'nother movie.
02:03 - You were making a whole other project.
02:06 - I didn't know they were going camp.
02:08 I was really taking it seriously.
02:10 (whooshing)
