VERONICA GROSINSKY female lead from "The Hog"...
MR. FRIGHTS: Best part about working on "The Hog"?-
VERONICA GROSINSKY: In general, I'd say the people. We had a really close group working on it and everyone pitched in. They all went beyond just what their title was, be it 'actor' or 'director'. It truly was a group effort, and everyone really had fun with it. But specifically? Dying a wonderful, gory death! -
MR. FRIGHTS: Do we have a budding Scream Queen on our hands?
-
VERONICA GROSINSKY: I sure hope so! It's really a great genre, and something I'd love to pursue. I may not be the greatest little actress, but it's something I'd like to throw myself into 100%.
-
MR. FRIGHTS: Can you tell us a little about "Veronica Rotten"? (Is this a separate personality, do you do any events under the name, run any websites or do social networking sites with that name - generally this is where you promote yourself as such if that's what you want)
-
VERONICA GROSINSKY: I'm all about nicknames, and Ian actually gave me this one. It was originally "Vicious" Veronica Rotten. I'm working on a myspace under the name (myspace.com/535577450)where you can check out the projects I'm working on and that sort of stuff. I'd like for it to become something big, and hopefully I can gain enough fan support to become something like the next P.J. Soles. Now that definitely sounded a bit presumptuous!
-
MR. FRIGHTS: I hear you have a love for Rob Zombie, so I have to ask you... what's your favorite movie of his?
-
VERONICA GROSINSKY: Ugh, that's like picking a favorite child! Everyone does it, and then people judge you for your choice! That is hard though. I'm probably going to have to go with House of 1000 Corpses.
-
MR. FRIGHTS: What internal organ do you think is the most disgusting to see sliced open on-screen?
-
VERONICA GROSINSKY: I think a good gutting is pretty heinous. Other stuff will get you a lot of blood, but to see everything just become a complete mess is pretty revolting... in the best way.

GRAB BAG QUESTIONS
-
MR. FRIGHTS: If you were held hostage, and were given a chance to escape if you offered one part of your body for extraction/dismemberment... What part would you offer up and why?
-
VERONICA GROSINSKY: I'd offer my pinkies! I don't think I really use them all that much, and it leaves the hands pretty functional for the escape. Wearing gloves or trying to be fancy (pinkies out, of course) would be pretty awkward in the future though!
-
MR. FRIGHTS: The key to making good horror is...?
-
VERONICA GROSINSKY: It's all about the perfect mixture of things. You've gotta have the right combination of gore, suspense, and good acting... with the right villain or monster!
-
MR. FRIGHTS: With regard to "The Hog"... was there ever a moment where you got so into it that you were actually frightened a little?
-
VERONICA GROSINSKY: They wanted to get our real reactions to seeing the Hog on camera, so Carley and I weren't allowed inside until it was go time. We both really tried to keep that as legit as possible. Even though we've both hung out with Reid for our weekly horror movies, it was totally different seeing him done up, and yeah, a little frightening!
-
MR. FRIGHTS: Can you tell us any fun horror stories from the set? (some funny anecdote about shooting the movie, something interesting or funny that happened)
-
VERONICA GROSINSKY: After they had turned Reid into the Hog, they called Ian down the hall to show him and Reid let out a very impressive pig squeal. Ian jumped and screamed...totally freaked him out. I guess he got his monster! There was also a night where we were practicing, and the lights would be flipped on at the end, with Carley and I becoming shocked. Every time they would turn them on, they'd be doing something ridiculous, like the infamous Burt Reynolds Play Girl pose. Horrifying in a very different way.
-
MR. FRIGHTS: When are we going to see you on screen again?
-
VERONICA GROSINSKY: Hopefully soon! I'm in it for the long haul with the Catch Me Kill Me guys. I'd love to do more acting, but I'll also be helping out with any behind the scenes stuff they need as well.
