he has worked with such iconic directors
as Quentin Tarantino Rob Zombie and Jack
Hill hi I’m Rebecca Braden and welcome
to watchmojo.com we headed to comic-con
where we spoke with sid haig about his
career his favorite characters and about
what makes a great horror story why do
you think you do well in the horror
genre because I’m crazy cause of like a
season yeah so it’s not too hard to play
crazy you’ve worked with a lot of iconic
directors I mean do you want to tell us
about some of your favorite experiences
there are three guys that I would work
for any time okay Jack Hill y’all gonna
have to excuse me I think I found me a
new friend Quentin Tarantino but can’t
you tilt I’m Rob Zombie those are my
favorite guys to work for because at one
point I walked away from Hollywood I
just said you know if you guys can’t
figure out that I do more than just
point a gun in somebody’s face forget it
was Rob Zombie actually who brought me
back and reignited my career so that I’m
eternally grateful for now let’s talk
about Rob Zombie even what he’s like on
set what his Scylla is like I said a
great guy very easygoing and he does
what all good directors like Jackie O
Quentin Tarantino guys like that dude he
makes his vision clear to you and then
he gets out of the way and let you do
your job let’s talk about the character
of Captain Spaulding he likes to play
games okay
if you remember the scene in the gas
station with the two guys excuse me sir
howdy ah I love this place how long you
been run this place well how long’s
pieces fry
he was constantly putting them on garden
and taking him off guard and joking with
him and then you know busted him for
something right after that and that’s
the way he worked you know he was very
disarming a very disarming kind of guy
oh you mean John Wayne well son how many
Dukes do you know about huh greatest
American ever laughs look at that Circle
up all icons bell crumbs it was kind of
masterful if you will because he would
lure people in without them even knowing
that they were entering a trap you know
and extremely honest you know you get
what you see with him what makes a good
story or a good horse or a to you if
things are approached logically that’s
why I appreciated Rob Zombie’s version
of Halloween because now you have
Michaels backstory and now you see why
he’s this maniacal character that just
goes around killing people you’ve worked
on both high budget and low budget films
I mean does low budget foster creativity
in a way that isn’t necessarily possible
otherwise low budget films
foster creativity in that you’re
struggling to stay alive it becomes
guerilla filmmaking at its best
how important is improvisation to your
work when I feel that I can develop the
character more fully through in first
improvisation I will in the house of
1000 corpses there was a lot of
improvisation going on in the Devil’s
Rejects there wasn’t
because Rob had a really fully developed
script the characters were really
clearly defined he got more into the
personalities of the character so the
actor themselves didn’t have to you know
who what are your favorite roles that
you’ve done throughout your career and
maybe any other roles that you aren’t as
crazy about I don’t really don’t have
any favorites I have roles that I
appreciate for different reasons
have been fortunate to have been in his
business long enough that I have been
able and fortunate to work with iconic
people I did the Lucy Show I did the Red
Skelton Show I did the Bob Hope show I
did the Danny Thomas show if I was
singing you even had roles on Batman and
Star Trek yeah yeah I did
two episodes of Batman as The Alchemist
– Victor Bono’s King Tut thank you so
much thank you
