  • hes kinda of an ass toward james

  • He looks so nervous, but mind you so would i with a flick knife held up to my face.

  • Isnt that guy the angry nintendo nerd !!

  • @russ2187 Yes.

  • crotch gun appeared in Desperado with El Marachi says it save my life a few times.

  • tom savini is the man. he is a big name in the horror community

  • You dont know shit! lol.

  • Lol i dont know about the rest of you but he seems like a nice and funny guy to me. I guess cuz i know people like him^_^

  • To be fair, Tom had some fucked up 'Nam experiences and still produced some memorable moments in classic B grade horror films.

    Yes, he's known to be an asshole to his followers and fellow makeup fx artists from time to time. It's actually very well known.

  • they are all alot more humble and grateful too, you never see them being assholes to their fans, in fact if you have a question on how a particular effect was done they willingly explain. i think the reason he feels the need to be such a prick, is he has such low self esteem knowing he'll never be as talented or genius as those men, and so hey makes up for it by acting all high and mighty, even if he was as talented as you idiots hype him up to be, he has no excuse to act like a dick to people

  • Tom savini is way over rated, he is the 'dane cook" of special effects artists. Among all famous makeup artists he is known as the worst, both in talent and attitude, the only reason he has been this over hyped is because he was lucky enough to work on films that turned out be big hits like friday the 13 and the fact that he also acts in films. There are so many artists that are 100x more talented than him, like The legendary Dick Smith, Rick Baker, Stan Winston, and Jack Pierce. they are all

  • Is Tom an asshole or is he just fucking with james? I can't tell

  • was savini in the army cause if he was I guess that would explain why he is kind of a hard ass on people

  • @LogiMotion i understand he severd in nam. he mantions it in an interview for dawn of the dead.

  • @LogiMotion Yes, in his documentary Scream Greats he talked about being in Vietnam and how it influenced his make up designs. He was already into it when he joined the service, but his main job was a combat photographer, mainly taking pictures of corpses.

  • Gotta hand it to you James, if Tom Savini pulled a switchblade on me I wouldn't be so calm.

  • *ahem* CHOKE ON 'EM CHOKE ON 'EM

  • sex machine!!!

  • Tom aint no asshole he's just a legend at wat he does an hates ppl asking dumb questions about somethin thats being asked a million times an gives them a truth ful fairly scarcastic answer he's just really confident in his profession slighty egotistical but i cant blame him when u come up with stuff as cool him u become ur own magician

  • tom wasn't being a dick

    he was acting as if james was his friend

  • Comment removed

  • Man... He wasn't bad at all. What are you guys talking about? Get a goddamn sense of humor. Tom is THE shit, and so is James.

  • if everyones wondering why tom is sort of a dick, its because around the dawn of the internet tom had a website where you could actually send him an email and he would personally reply to each email, things got out of hands and people sent him death threats so now he kind of thinks that all fans are just maniacs.

  • Is it just me, or does he really look like an older Glen Benton (Deicide frontman/vocalist)? Cause I really think so!

  • @joserpm LMAO, yes he does. I was watching From Dusk Till Dawn again, yesterday and was thinking the same thing XD

  • savini... as he is here i'm sorry but i can't see him as anything but a bit of an ASSHOLE...

  • We just interviewed Tom Savini at the Motor CIty Comicon - thought you may be interested ;-)

  • What is this clip from? Anyone?

  • @smjjohnson

    What do you mean?

    Is an interview

  • damn, what a sex machine

  • in my eyes he will always be Sex Machine. XD

  • I used to work for Tom, and he was a cool dude, not a jerk. I think he hates dumb questions is all. Once you meet him, he's just a regular dude.

  • Comment removed

  • How in hell does a zombie walk around for a year and a half? I mean, granted, it is a movie after all, but come on! Check out my "Tankersley FX" video's!!!

  • i wasn't really sure if he was being mean or joking around

  • It may just be me..but is Tom Savini acting quite arrogant towards James?

    Quote, 'you don't know shit!' & 'I'm carrying a MACHETE, what am I gonna' do? Stuff it down your throat?!'

    Just seems to me to be like he's treating him like another idiot who hassles for interviews. They're both film makers. And one of them has had his break, and rightly so as Tom Savini is hugely talented as we all know. But it seems to me he could have shown a little more respect towards him. Just my opinion is all.

  • @sev122

    you're right he was acting kinda like an asshole at times.

  • That's how Tom rolls.

  • @sev122 he just looks like he's having fun. If James wasn't laughing along the whole time I'm sure he would act differently.

  • @sev122 Nah, he was fine. When when he made the "you don't know shit' comment, I'm sure it wasn't meant to be taken seriously. You'd be suprised at some of the stuf guys say to each other, and yet don't mean anything by it.

    They say he's an asshole in person, but he seem ok in this interview.

  • @sev122 hes much more nicer and relaxed in the second intervie

  • They kill this guy off in every movie he comes out in.

  • James is so nervous :D

  • these 2 icons rock :P tom and james XD

  • I met him at the Fangoria Horror Convention they had here in NYC and he was pretty cool, he has that New Yorker Sarcastic thing going for him. Tom, Doug Bradley and myself talked for 10 minutes about the remakes and the originals and why the Next wave of Barkers,Carpenters,Hoopers, and other Horror Legends are mostly pushed to the side for Directing the remakes and instead go with Music Video Directors and people who arent deranged in any way.(which is essential to make a great Horror Movie)

  • Comment removed

  • have you ever seen Children of the Living Dead? that movie is in my top 5 list, and savini played a small (and badass) role in it.

    seems like a total dick in this interview though

  • well he is famous and most famous people tend to be dicks.

  • Tom is an asshole. I met him 3 times and a friend of mine had him in his movie as an actor.... he is a complete asshole. He thinks we (fans) are "nothing". Fuck ,I even peed next to him in a bathroom by co incidence.... and he acts like he has the biggest dick in the planet. Too bad because the man is one of the most amazing make up artist ever. I always wanted to work with him in the future but scratch that. Bet James had to pay or beg for this little interview....

  • that's pretty cool you met him, he is awesome

  • I have gotten Tom's autograph at horrorfind..he didn't seem really happy to be sitting there meeting fans though.. kind of seemed like a jerk. BUT YOU ACTUALLY TALKED TO HIM? awesome!

  • Would you be happy to sit all day signing autographs, giving pictures with fans and kissing babies?

  • No but you should atleast look flattered to be there.

  • Nah. Id be pissed off becouse someone dragged me over there to give autographs

  • Really? You wouldn't feel flattered to meet your fans? Then why did he charge me $25?

  • Idk and id really hate to be a celebrity

  • @mansondevil33 Hey, I was at a couple of those. There was this one in 2004, I think, that he was at. He had this nice looking redhead with him. I remember him because we actually ran into each other *boom* a few times on corners. Good thing he's such a tiny guy.

  • Tom is more than just the Guru of Gore! He's A Horror Movie Genius!

  • He's exaggerating when he says an M-16 has "no" recoil. What he means is it has "very little" recoil.

    Savini is one of my greatest inspirerers.

  • @IggyHazard His whole "You don't know shit" and M16 sotry didn't make much sense. Those are big heavy guys with light rounds and are designed to have little recoil. That doesn't necessarily mean a pistol would have less.

  • @eurohim

    Correct. Except the M-16 isn't heavy. At least not compared to an HK91 with a milled receiver.

  • i like this vid, i'm a tom savini fan

  • james, i have never met you in real life but still you are like an awsome brother 2 me

  • i dont know who i love more, Tom or James :D

  • Comment removed

  • thanks for asking about blades =) i always had doubt since its machete zombie in the cast of land of the dead.

  • James sounds pretty nervous, it must have been cool to see Tom Savini

  • Shut your craphole you ignorant fuck, Tom Savini is the shit.

  • THE shit

  • you guys have to understand Savini was joking around you have to have a sense of humor to be around him

  • was this re-uploaded?? i remember watching this video in the past and remembered a question about which effect was Tom's favorite??? Or was that another interview?? can't remember O.o

  • he's right - he doesn't know doggie-doo....anybody who has fired a rifle should know the mechanics of a firearm. DUH>

  • Thats Mr.Savini to you nerds out there! This man has been through a war show him a little respect.

  • Comment removed

  • He's got an army mentality. Kick your friends ass gently so when Charlie pops up in front of them they will be toughened up and not turn into a quivering sack of nerd jello.

  • Hehe yeah. I would love to meet him, even if he gave me a verbal ass-whooping, it would be so damn cool...

    I really admire special effects artists like himself, it takes a lot of ingenuity.

  • he is NOT a douche. not even a LITTLE bit. he was just playing around is all. if your that emo that you cant tell the difference between lightharded joking around and being a douche then you SERIOUSLY ... need to shop at hot topic more lol

  • Comment removed

  • You know what? Fine. I apologize. There, you happy? I hope I didn't hurt your feelings >:P

    Im just saying that even though I really admire savini, and would love to meet him, I have heard stories of him being rude to fans. But that makes sense, because honestly, I would too if some jerk was following me around talking about every little detail in a movie. I would probably get a little pissy too. I just did the unthinkable, I apologized on the internet. You happy?

  • well yeah.. i kinda am lol.. its ok bro i just REALLY admire Savini so i guess i get a little touchy when people call him an asshole or whatever lol

  • Dont worry man, I love him too :P

    Real effects work is so damn hard. I am always so amazed when I see movies like Dawn of the Dead and Friday the 13th and how ingenious the effects were.

  • at the beginning of the chatting i saw the guy from the angry nintendo nerd the guy from it i saw the guy who just like him hes jamesrolfe from angry nintendo nerd

  • Tom Savani being a complete prick to people as always.........

  • i liked the movie "from dusk til dawn"

  • i met savini, he was really nice to me.

  • holy shit, its the avgn

  • I've gotta admit Tom came across as a bit of a dick here.

  • I thought it was kinda funny actually. Ask a silly question, get a silly answer. He's just a ball breaker is all.

  • It was cool seeing Tom as a Zombie in Land of the Dead, but I wish George gave him more screen time. Maybe George will bring him back in another Zombie movie in the future? Better yet, how about an entire movie devoted to Tom starring as the Blades Zombie as the main character and his adventures in, well, biting and slicing people? I'd watch it. LOL!

  • I met tom and he wasn't very friendly, I didn't even bother to make conversation at that point. But he was a total dick to my friend, he was completely arrogant. If you don't want to converse with fans, don't do conventions. Maybe thats just his personality but hes totally cool whenever the cameras on him.

  • That happened to me with glen Danzig, I was wearing a misfits sure and he asked me why I was wearing a fag shirt. I guess hes embarassed to have sang with them.

  • Maybe you guys are just assholes and he doesn't want to talk to you. That's what he told me anyway.

  • Proving hes an arrogant ass to his fans. Since all I said was hello Tom its nice to meet you. I guess that makes me an asshole. I will always be a big fan of Tom and his work I just wish I hadn't bothered to say hello to him and buy items from his table.

  • Savini is the MAN

  • I'm such a movie nerd, love making movies and I always love Savini's work he's just so fun as well enjoys his work so much

  • Tom Savini's awesome, the Nerd's awesome, but the Nerd in this vid laughs like a dick.

  • i have 7 autographs from him

  • whoa i knew that was the nintendo nerd. i so blindly typed tom savini and clicked on the first thing. james your the shit!!!

  • Tom Savini is cool!

  • yea it is pretty surprising that the m16 had such low recoil, i was holding it hard before i shot the thing but it was easier than the pistols i shot

  • Dude, you're lucky!

  • I heard that Tom Savini is pretty mean to his fans at conventions, but he's somehow very friendly towards the Nerd. That's cool.

  • well he asked if he was in the army

    and the nerd said no

    then Savini said "then you dont know shit"

    so i mean....yeah

  • Glad to see James didn't take Tom's unique personality the wrong way.

  • Dude I fucking love Tom Savini

  • James what do you think of Shawn of the Dead? I vaguely remember you mentioning it, but i don't remember when...

    too bad you wont read this either :D

  • he will read your comment, but there are too many comments. So if he answered one comment, everyone would complain that their comments aren't being answered.

  • man, i dont think james COULD read every comment XD

    hes so popular, that if he manages to read every comment, I salute him!

  • People, he was kidding around. He's not a dick at all. Quit assuming shit, and be happy that he got to meet this guy.

  • He came to my hometown and I never knew? Damn.

  • same

  • He's the fuckin man!

  • I think it's just the youngster type mentality we have today - movies are what they are - MOVIES!! We are in such an age where you "become" the video game or the movie with all of the digital stuff, and when you ask a stupid question, expect a snap remark back. Most people know that AR-15 / M-16 have no recoil - there's a spring system inside the handle, but the younger people don't know anything about weapons.

  • Hes great

  • the burning and night remake was another good film he did but i saw all of tom's movies.

  • yeah hella dick

  • oh dont forget texas chainsaw 2 he did

  • he was only kidding around

  • James needs to do more reviews like this.

  • Tom Savini is great

  • could of talked about The Texas Chainsaw Massacre?

    Cause Tom Savini was the makeup man.

  • In Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2 he was makeup man.

    But it really is an incredible film for its Hitchcock-esk style of tension building with music, and action. not as good as hitchcock though.

    PS The first one was originally made with the intention of making it a PG, his justification was that you see no knife or meathook on skin action

  • It's just friendly humour, he's not being rude.

  • what makes a great movie? tom savini does

  • thats James all over officially the coolest nerd on earth

  • This was awesome James your the man, good to see you getting to meet some of your horror movie faves.

  • witch movie does the cockgun come from?

  • From Dusk till Dawn

  • actually it first appeared in Desperodoes

  • yeah but i think he was asking which film does Tom Savini appear with the cock gun. smartarse

  • from dusk 'til dawn but it has a cameo in desperado

  • too much talk about cock gun, they should talk about classics such as Friday the 13th, the Burning and the infamous Maniac.

  • lol this iss awesome.

  • Not even Tom Savini could salvage 'Children of the Living Dead'. I've talked with so many people (fellow connesoirs) who've met Savini but have yet to meet him myself. They all say that he's just a generally c0ol person and that he's never a jerk to his fans.

  • yes i was quoting Savini, i love how cool and casual he is

  • FluorescentPython was probably quoting Savini. No need to downvote.

  • You dont know shit

  • He truely is awesome!

  • yeah i think ive seen damn near every movie hes been a part of or in.

  • Did you see Children Of The Dead? If so, my apologies, cuz that fuckin movie sucks so much ass. Everything else has been pretty good though.

  • Every movie with toms effect in it is worth a watch

  • Tom is a GENIUS!!!

  • If I met Tom Savini I would fucking grovel

  • Holy shit what an honour!

  • on tv i always see this guy in the lakers games.

  • Tom seems like a pretty cool dude.

  • I met Tom earlier this year back in September, and the guy is one of the most awesome people I've ever met. He was nice too, especially compared to other people I've met.

  • Tom Savini rules, I'd love to have a chat with him.

  • fk the douchebag, its just friendly humour

  • doesnt seem like an asshole, more like a smartass but he seems waaay cool. wanna know what else you chatted about.

  • damn...i didnt know savini had a rude ass, stuck up personality like that..i used to think he was cool, but now all i gotta say is fuck that egotistical old man

  • Why does everyone think he is a dick? wtf ! He seems ok, just a bit alternative.

  • What an asshole...

  • The AVGN AND Tom Savini... Wow...

  • I met him at Chiller back in '05 and trust me...he is a major DICK!!!!!!!!!

  • really, wut did he say?

  • douchebag for the lost

  • Tom Savini is fucking awesome. I dont get the douche bag comments though.

  • kind of an asshole, but some people are....

  • wow wat and ass hole

  • kewl James, I to have had the honor of meeting Tom Savini

  • i meet him ocen in vegas last year...

  • Lucky James. I wish I could meet Tom Savini.

  • lol the cock gun
