| Dana: And in the scene I'm manacled to this tower and I'm under-lit and there's a fog machine, and then suddenly just this overwhelming stench... Sandra: Noxious... Dana: Dead souls and cheese just comes right up through the grate for 25 minutes. Sandra: Oh, man. And they filmed this. Dana: Yeah, and there was-- Sandra: It was a setup. They knew it. Dana: But the crew, yeah. They had gas masks. Sandra: Oh, that's just wonderful. Dana: And I was up there -- just imagine being shrunken down... Sandra: Have you had a nice lung x-ray? Dana: Oh, I know. It was horrible. The whole next day it was like being a little man, shrunken down and living in a fat guy's pants. It was the most unbearable -- Sandra: That's a little too graphic for me, Dana. Dana: It's part of my Sebastian Cabot fixation. Sandra: Well, except for that experience, are you a big fan of these movies? Dana: Oh, yeah. I haven't done any since "The Big Odor Show," as I now refer to it. But I think it's fun to -- what I like about these movies is they're bad and they're supposed to be bad and they cost four dollars. "Waterworld" cost $200 million and it stinks. Sandra: Yeah. So what's the difference? That's what was great about the B movies. Dana: Yeah. Because they didn't pretend. Sandra: They had no pretenses. PART TWO Sandra: Have you ever seen any really creepy movies that scared you when you were a kid? Dana: I was never scared by horror movies when I was a kid. I was really attracted to them. But what scared me was the movies I was supposed to like. Like "The Wizard of Oz." To this day I can't watch it. It's like you're six years old, they set you in front of the television, "Here's a good movie. Psychotic midgets, hateful flying monkeys and you're trapped in this land and you can't go home. Sweet dreams!" Sandra: Not to mention a terribly abused and neurotic little girl. Dana: Yeah. Who grew up. Sandra: Yeah. Who was popping pills while running from set to set. I mean the kid was out of her mind. Dana: I know. It was not a tornado that put her in that place. Sandra: No, honey. A tornado would have been a welcome relief. Dana: But "The Wizard of Oz" freaked me out, and "Willie Wonka and the Chocolate Factory" totally freaked me out. And I hate to say this, but any movie with little people in grease paint, I could not watch it. Sandra: Now I'm highly offended by that.
