trivia24 Hours Of Horror With Eli Roth
eli roth trivia[Before I begin this list, I should let you know Eli recommends starting at noon and ending at noon]
1. I think you gotta start off with John Carpenter’s The Thing. It really holds up as one of the best horror films of all time, if not the best.
2. After The Thing, if we’re gonna go for some splatter, I would follow it up with the Lucio Fulci film Zombie. Zombie is the Italian sequel to Dawn Of The Dead.
3. Now that you’ve gone two splattery movies back-to-back, I would watch the Dutch film The Vanishing. The Vanishing is technically not a horror film. It’s much more of a thriller, but it is genuinely one of the most disturbing films I’ve ever seen. It’s horrific.
4. The Vanishing would blow people’s minds, so we need something to shake it up a bit. I would go for something straight-up fun, like Pieces. It’s a Spanish horror film [1982’s Mil Gritos Tiene La Noche] that was released as Pieces here.
5. After Pieces, I would show The Wicker Man. The original. The other one doesn’t exist as far as I’m concerned. The Wicker Man is such a weird movie.
6. After The Wicker Man, I would watch a Spanish film that’s just out on DVD called Who Can Kill a Child? [¿Quién Puede Matar A Un Niño?] directed by [Narciso Ibáñez] Serrador, who’s like the Spanish Hitchcock. It’s similar to The Wicker Man in that it’s someone going to an island where something’s wrong. But it is a fantastic “killer-kid” movie.
7. A great midnight movie—the midnight movie—is Eraserhead. Eraserhead is a weird, horrible nightmare, and it doesn’t narratively make sense. Stuff’s happening, but you honestly feel like you’re in a nightmare, and it has such disturbing imagery that it stays with you forever once you’ve seen it.
8. Suspiria, like all Dario Argento films, at a certain point, you realize that you don’t know what’s going on. But it’s okay. You’re loosely following this plot of the girl who goes to this dance school, and then you kind of know what’s going on. But it’s all this horrific imagery.
9. Cannibal Holocaust is an Italian horror film directed by Ruggero Deodato, that The Blair Witch Project stole its formula from.
10. Six o’clock is a perfect time to show “Toby Dammit,” which is only half an hour.
11. At 6:30, we’re gonna want something to pick the energy up. At 6:30, I would go for Sam Raimi’s original Evil Dead. Low-budget American horror made for $350,000—well, that’s the rumor. Sam Raimi was like 21 when he made it.
12. Audition is a slow-burn horror movie that slowly builds and builds and things get creepier and creepier, but the last 10 minutes are the tensest 10 minutes of your life.
13. There’s so many different ways to go, but I would end with Torso, because I know a lot of people haven’t seen it, and they should.
Eli, the sex operator.
Eli Roth paid for his student films by working as an on-line sex operator for Penthouse magazine, back when only doctors and scientists were on the Internet. Subscribers paid $30 an hour to have sex with Roth and his N.Y.U. friends, thinking they were gorgeous Penthouse models. Roth claims that these experiences inspire many of the characters he writes today.

Quentin Tarantino demonstrating Big Gerry on ‘sleeping’ Eli
“I cannot believe Big Gerry escaped! Then again, he was too big to contain. He was named in honor of Geraldine, who works in the camera department, and is rather petite. She was little Gerry and the dildo was Big Gerry. Quentin got Big Gerry on Kill Bill to keep crew members from sleeping on set, and since then Big Gerry has traveled around the world and across many sets. If anyone fell asleep on set, within seconds Big Gerry would magically appear and you wound up on the Wall of Shame for all to see. (And no, I was never caught, I was too wired the whole time.) Until now Big Gerry’s identity has remained a secret, but now that he’s loose nappers on movie sets around the globe are no longer safe. He could be anywhere…” -Eli Roth
