Pop Skull Star Extras in ‘H2’, Talks About Experience
Pop Skull co-writer, producer and actor Lane Hughes writes in with something you Halloween fans might be interested in. Hughes, who was up for a role in Rob Zombie’s Halloween II, ended up being an extra at the Phantom Jam in Haddonfield, a big party sequel in zombie’s sequel. Below you’ll find a video where he’s interviewed about his experiences, which can give you some insight into the forthcoming release arriving in theaters August 28th.
Lane Hughes writes in:
“I almost had an audition for H2 but was f*cked out of it last minute due to politics but was determined to get on set because I’m such a huge fan of the series and Rob’s music; even if it just meant being an extra.
While there I befriended two other young horror filmmakers from my own hometown I’d never met before! They have two films going to festivals soon and a vlog called “Nothing Special”. They interviewed me on the third installment which is a H2 set report. It’s a great story in true Gonzo journalism fashion.
We talk about how we got involved with H2, how we met, Pop Skull, and what we saw/experienced on the set. It’s a bit lengthy but very fun, entertaining, and informative. It’d be a great companion piece as well as an alternative angle to all the behind-the-scenes stuff Scout and other cast members are posting.”
