Ali...Slasherama: Let's clear up the situation once for all, regarding Nightmares In A Damaged Brain. Your name is in the credits as effects guy. How do you plead?
Savini: "Didn't do it. Not guilty. They put they name on the credits - surrounded by a box. Not even Marlon Brando gets a box around his name! They put a box around my name, and I was doing Creepshow at the time. I was aware of it and called them. They actually called me back and said, 'If we come down and show you the movie and you like it, can we leave your name on it?'. I said, 'No'. Then they offered to pay me $25,000! I said, 'No, I didn't do it. Just get my name off that thing!'. I should have taken the money, because my name's still on it anyway."
Slasherama: What do you think of the movie?
Savini: "(Struggles to be diplomatic for a moment, then gives up) No… it's terrible. They did put pieces of my tape over my name on the posters, in New York, but I had fans calling from drive-in theatres, telling me my name was still on it. What could I do?"
Slasherama: You could have sued.
Savini: "Back then I could have, but I had no time. I was enormously busy on Creepshow and couldn't do anything."
Polish interview with director Scavolini:
Q: The gore effects, especially throat slashing and the double climatic axe murder sequence, are realistic and shocking. Who were responsible for making them? Is it true that Tom Savini was only a creative consultant during gory scenes?
Scavolini: TOM SAVINI MADE UP A LONG STORY ABOUT BEING OR NOT BEING ON THE SET DURING THE SHOOTINGS. THE FACT IS THAT THERE ARE BACKSTAGE PICTURES WHO TESTIFY THAT HE WAS IN FACT, IN CHARGE OF ALL THE SPECIAL EFFECTS, AND HE CANNOT DENY IT.
BUT THE STORY BEGUN WHEN THE MOVIE BECOME A BIG HIT, AND HE ASKED FOR MORE MONEY OR HE WOULD HAVE HIS NAME TAKEN OFF SCREEN. BUT HE COULDN’T. HE HAD A CONTRACT AND HIS NAME WAS TAKEN OFF ONLY FROM THE POSTERS. THE FILM INDUSTRY IS FULL OF ASSHOLES AS YOU KNOW.

Kome da verujemo ? Savini inace uvazava "jerk" reputaciju koliko cujem...
