Who doesn’t remember Night of the Comet?  If you dont, shame on you.  Rent it now!  But while you’re waiting for your blockbuster queue to send you this required viewing, read the interview Socket director Sean Abley did with Kelli Maroney.

I know that many folks are crazy for Night of the Comet, but my favorite is Chopping Mall. So I want to ask you about your co-stars in that. Barbara Crampton basically had the same career at the time - soap operas and Roger Corman (or Cormanesque) films. Did you ever look at each other and say “Well, killer robots beats having to memorize ten pages of dialogue every day”?

No, we were under the impression that we were making careers in film for ourselves at the time. When we all signed on for Chopping Mall we had no idea that would be the name of it. It was pitched to the actors as ROBOT, with the prestigious Robert Short creating the robots. We had no idea it was a camp-fest at the time. We were young and stupid like that.

More awesome goodness here.
