Rejected by the Devil - An Interview with Bill Moseley

Bill Moseley is no stranger to portraying psychotic redneck ‘hellbilly’ types, having breathed life into several of the most memorable and downright nasty horror movie characters in recent memory - including the deranged Chop-Top from The Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2 and the mercilessly sadistic Otis Driftwood from Rob Zombie’s The Devil’s Rejects and House Of 1000 Corpses.

With the release of Tim Sullivan’s 2001 Maniacs: Field Of Screams, Moseley looks set to add yet another barnstorming oddball to his already engorged menagerie of freaks.

Head over to Eye for Film to check out my interview with Mr Moseley, in which he discusses his career to date, including his latest role in 2001 Maniacs: Field Of Screams, as well as his love for horror movies and how he deals with playing such usually very dark and disturbing characters.

Time for fangirl squeals on my part; I love Bill Moseley, first and foremost in his work with Rob Zombie.

Great job getting the interview; what's he like? :)

Book Competition & '50 Shades of Red: Sexuality and Loss of Innocence in Little Red Riding Hood'

Image
Of all the folk and fairy tales known to us, the tale of Little Red Riding Hood is perhaps one of the most enduring and provocative. In its most basic form it is a tale of good vs. evil, and it is generally regarded as one of the most effective expressions of sexual curiosity and the ultimate loss of innocence.

I recently wrote an article exploring the evolution of the tale and how its meaning changed throughout the years - from its supposed origins as an oral folktale warning girls of the dangers of predators, to Charles Perrault's literary fairy tale adaptation warning young women against exploring their sexual desires.
