Slipknot’s Sid Wilson, aka #0/ DJ Starscream, plays the lead role of ‘John’ in Deathaus Films’ new offbeat horror/ comedy project The Midnight Snack, Bloody Disgusting learned.
The project, directed by Erik Boccio (Blood Bath, Pussy Riot’s ‘Putin Light Up the Fires’), is written and produced by Pandie Suicide (Blood Bath, Ditch Day Massacre) known also as Pandie James, who stars opposite Sid as ‘Betty Lou’ the waitress at a retro 50’s diner named The Midnight Snack, where John (Wilson) stops by late one night for a bite.
For his character transformation, Sid’s numerous tattoos, including his trademark gas mask face tat, neck ink, and transformers hand tattoos were all covered by expert FX makeup artist and “Face Off” alumni Laney Chantel with Erica Bunny Armendariz. Sid is seen with a full head of dark brunette hair, very different from his distinct red mohawk, and is dressed in white and 50’s denim.
Eight-year-old Pearl Cohen also stars.
Shot on Epic Red Dragon in the vein of a kooky sitcom by cinematographer Eli Tahan (Night of the Slasher), the short project is expected to be released in December 2018 and available to watch on several online platforms.
