nicky Posted January 15, 2008 Share Posted January 15, 2008 (edited) Here are some interesting quotes from him: (When asked if his Vietnam experiences influence his makeup effects): "I get asked that question a lot. I did see a lot of first hand anatomically correct gore and I think the most important part of that was if we create a dead body or situation there's a certain feeling you get from seeing the real thing. If I'm creating a gory effect and I don't get the same feeling when I saw the real stuff, I'm not satisfied." I actually turned down Friday the 13th Part 2 (1981) to do The Burning (1981) because Jason was running around in Part 2 and as you know, there is no Jason. Jason was a kid that died in the first movie. If you watch a 'Friday the 13th' movie past part one, you're stupid. 'Cause there's no Jason. There shouldn't be a Jason. Everyone thinks Tom Savini doesn't like something unless there's blood and gore. That's stupid. My favorite movies are love stories. Also he directed the remake of Night of the Living Dead (1990). To avoid an X rating, Savini had to cut several scenes from the film. Savini sometimes shows the entirety of the cut scenes at conventions. I hope SM can encourage him to do this at LFCC cos when I first met him he was very enthusiastic about talking about those scenes but didnt bring anything to show them except his book he was selling.
