Ma mua o kēia pule, ua hana ʻo iHorror i kahi kiʻi pena kiʻi ma Joshua Hoffine: he paionia kiʻi hoʻoweliweli. Ua loaʻa iaʻu ka manawa kūpono e koho i kona lolo a kūkākūkā i ka makaʻu o ka wā kamaliʻi, ka mea e hiki mai ana a me kāna kiʻi ʻoniʻoni weliweli. Inā hoihoi ʻoe i ke aʻo iki ʻana e pili ana iā Joshua Hoffine a me kāna hana a me kāna kaiaulu ma mua, e nānā i kāna kiʻi kaha kiʻi ʻaneʻi.

DD: Aloha e Joshua, mahalo no kou kamaʻilio pū ʻana me aʻu. Pono mākou e ʻike, he aha kāu i hoʻomaka ai i ka paʻi kiʻi weliweli?

Joshua Hoffine: Ua ulu wau e nānā i nā kiʻi ʻoniʻoni weliweli a me ka heluhelu ʻana iā Stephen King. ʻO ke ʻano weliweli ke kokoke i koʻu puʻuwai.

I ka wā i lilo ai wau i mea paʻi kiʻi, ʻike wau ʻaʻole he "kiʻi hoʻoweliweli." Nā kiʻi ʻoniʻoni weliweli, ʻae- nā puke moʻolelo weliweli, nā mea hoʻomākeʻaka, nā hōʻike kīwī, nā pāʻani wikiō, nā mea pena kiʻi, a me nā kāʻei- akā, ma hea nā mea paʻi kiʻi hoʻoweliweli?

Kū ʻo Joel Peter Witkin ma ke ʻano he kūlana koʻikoʻi. He pīhoihoi paha kāna mau kiʻi paʻi, akā ʻaʻole paha ʻo ia e ʻapo i ka lepili o ka weliweli, ʻaʻole hoʻi i hana kikoʻī me nā kiʻi a i ʻole tropes o kēia ʻano.

Makemake wau e lilo, kikoʻī, i "Horror Photographer".

Ua hoʻomaka wau i kaʻu papahana i ka makahiki 2003. Ua paʻa mau ka ʻāina i kahi moʻomeheu 9/11 o ka makaʻu. Ua kuʻi ka psychology o ka makaʻu iaʻu ma ke ʻano he kumuhana koʻikoʻi e ʻimi me kaʻu paʻi kiʻi.

Ua haʻalele hou wau iā Hallmark Cards e hana manawa piha mai ka home a hoʻonui i ka manawa me kaʻu mau kaikamahine ʻōpio. Aia wau i ka wā a lākou e pili ai me ka makaʻu o ka wā kamaliʻi aʻu i ʻike ai. ʻO kēia ʻike- ʻo kekahi mau makaʻu āpau - ʻo ia ka mea i hoʻokumu i ka papahana. ʻO kēlā a me ka loaʻa o kaʻu mau kaikamahine ʻōpio ma ke ʻano he mea hana keaka.

Ua makemake au i ke kiʻi moʻolelo o Cindy Sherman lāua ʻo Gregory Crewdson, a makemake wau e lawe i kā lāua moʻolelo i kahi ala maikaʻi a makaʻu hoʻi.

ʻO kaʻu kēkelē laeoʻo ma ka English Literature. I ka holomua ʻana o ke paʻi kiʻi, ua hoʻomaka wau e ʻike i nā mea weliweli āpau, nā moʻo āpau, e like me ka hoʻohālikelike. Ua hoihoi wau i ka ʻike maka o ka weliweli wale nō, akā i ka manaʻo a me ke kumu o ka weliweli.

DD: Mahalo maikaʻi ua hoʻopiha ʻoe i kēlā āpau i ke kiʻi ʻana. He mea hiki i nā mea aloha weliweli a pau ke hōʻoiaʻiʻo, aloha mākou i nā kiʻi e ʻumeʻume a nani hoʻi. Ua hoʻohuli paha kekahi mau mea paʻi kiʻi i kāu kaila ponoʻī o ke paʻi kiʻi ʻana?

JH: ʻAʻole loa. Ua hōʻalo wau i ka nānā ʻana i ka hana a nā mea paʻi kiʻi ʻē aʻe. Ua nānā nui au i ke kiʻi ʻoniʻoni- ʻO nā kiʻi ʻoniʻoni ʻo Terry Gilliam, ʻo Stanley Kubrick, ke akamai o Make 2 hewa.

Ua aʻo wau i ka hoʻomālamalama ʻana mai kahi mea paʻi kiʻi ʻoihana ʻo Nick Vedros. Ua hana au me ia no 6 mau mahina. Ma mua wale nō o ka hoʻokahuli uila. Ua hoʻohana ʻo ia i nā hoʻonohonoho maoli a me nā hopena hana, i kekahi manawa ma kahi pālākiō, no nā mea kūʻai aku hoʻolaha nui. Manaʻo wau ua hoʻomohala ʻōlohelohe kaʻu iho hana i nā haʻawina āna i aʻo mai ai iaʻu.

DD: Ua hele a maʻa mau ʻoe i ka weliweli? 

JH: Mau.

Ua lawe koʻu makuahine iaʻu a me koʻu mau kaikuahine e ʻike Poltergeist i ka hale keaka i ko mākou wā liʻiliʻi. Noho mākou i hoʻokahi makahiki i ka nānā ʻana i nā hiʻohiʻona, me koʻu kaikaina loa ʻo Sarah e omo mau ʻia ana i loko o ka lumi.

Nānā mākou iā John Carpenter's The Kiakahi ke Aloha ma HBO ma ke ʻano he ʻohana. He 10 koʻu mau makahiki a ua puhi koʻu noʻonoʻo. Ma ke kula waena, loaʻa iā mākou kahi VCR a ʻae koʻu mau mākua iaʻu e nānā i kahi kiʻi hoʻoweliweli aʻu e makemake ai, me ka ʻole o nā kapu. He wā hauʻoli koʻu wā kamaliʻi. ʻO nā kiʻi ʻoniʻoni weliweli he maʻa mau iaʻu.

DD: A eia nā mea āpau aʻu i hana ai i koʻu wā kamaliʻi ʻo Winnifred Sanderson mai Hocus Pocus. Manaʻo wau he pā wau iaʻu. Ua hōʻike ʻo "After Dark, My Sweet" i kekahi o kāu mau makaʻu ʻōpio iho?

JH: Pili wau iā lākou āpau. ʻAʻole anei ʻoe?

DD: Ma ke ʻano he keiki ʻae a hiki i kēia lā. ʻO kāu kiʻi "Wale" weliweli loa iaʻu, manaʻo wau. He aha kāu papa paʻi kiʻi punahele āu i hana ai?

JH: "Ma hope o ka pouli, kaʻu mea momona.". ʻO ia ka papahana mua, ʻo ia me kaʻu mau keiki, a he huakaʻi maoli ia o ka loaʻa. Ua hoʻonui ākea au i kaʻu laulā a hoʻomaʻemaʻe i kaʻu hana, akā pīhoihoi kēlā papahana no ka mea ʻaʻole uncharted āpau. ʻAʻohe oʻu pepeiao i kēia manawa. Naʻu wale nō. Maʻemaʻe ia.

DD: A me he mea lā ʻo kāu kiʻi nui loa ia. ʻO nā ʻimi a pau i kou inoa e huki iā "After Dark, My Sweet" ka mea nui. Hoʻohana mau paha ʻoe i nā lālā ʻohana i kāu mau kiʻi?

JH: ʻAe, i kēlā me kēia manawa ke loaʻa iaʻu. ʻO kaʻu wahine, ʻo Jen, i hōʻike ʻia i kaʻu kiʻi hou "Nosferatu."

DD: Nani ʻo ia (kēlā lauoho!) A kupaianaha kēlā kiʻi. Weliweli kahiko o Hollywood. He aha ke ʻano o ke paʻi kiʻi ʻana āu e hana ai inā ʻaʻole ʻoe e hana i nā kiʻi paʻi weliweli?

JH: kiʻi paʻi kiʻi. Nui wau i ka leʻaleʻa a pāʻani i koʻu mau ikaika: ka hoʻomālamalama ʻana, kau i ka poʻe me ka maʻalahi, a me ka hāʻawi ʻana i nā kuhikuhi maʻalahi maʻalahi.

He mau papahana manaʻo hou aʻe kaʻu e makemake ai e hana i ka wā e hiki mai ana.

DD: He aha ka mea i hoʻonāukiuki iā ʻoe e hana i ke kiʻi ʻoniʻoni pōkole Lullaby ʻEleʻele (e pili ana i kahi kaikamahine ʻōpio e hālāwai me ka Boogeyman)?

JH: Makemake wau e ʻike i kaʻu mau kiʻi i ka neʻe. He manaʻo maʻalahi kaʻu no kahi kiʻi ʻoniʻoni i hiki iaʻu ke kī kī ma koʻu home ponoʻī. ʻO kaʻu kaikamahine, ʻo Chloe, i ka makahiki kūpono a he hiki maoli ke ʻano he mea hana keaka. He huakaʻi hou kēia o ka loaʻa.

DD: Hoʻolālā ʻoe e hana i kahi ʻē aʻe?

JH: Mahalo! He mile nui ia naʻu.

Hiki i ka poʻe ke hoʻonohonoho mua i kahi kope ma ka Paena Pūnaewele Dark Regions.

DD: He puke kaʻu e pono ai no kaʻu hōʻiliʻili hōʻiliʻili. He aha ka mea e hiki ai iā mākou ke kakali i mua?

JH: I kēia manawa ke paʻi ʻia nei kaʻu pāʻina paʻi kiʻi ma ke ʻano he puke, e hana ana wau i kahi kiʻi ʻoniʻoni weliweli piha.

Ke hana nei nā mea āpau i kēia manawa. Maopopo mua iaʻu he aha ia. E ikaika ana ia, akā kupaianaha.

DD: ʻI hiki ole kakali e ʻike i ka mea a ka moeʻuhane āu e hana maoli ai i kahi kiʻi ʻoniʻoni piha. Hiki iaʻu ke kiʻi he mea kupaianaha ia. Nīnau hope loa ... he aha kāu kiʻi ʻoniʻoni hoʻoweliweli?

JH: Poltergeist, ʻo ʻoe

DD: Koho maikaʻi loa. Mahalo nui no kou kamaʻilio pū ʻana me aʻu ʻo Joshua Hoffine. Ke kakali nei wau i nā moeʻuhane a pau e hiki mai ana.

Pihi ʻo Joshua Hoffine no nā kiʻi paʻi, nā male a me kāu mau pono paʻi ʻē aʻe. Hiki iā ʻoe ke kāhea iā ia ma [pale ʻia ka leka uila] e hoʻonohonoho i kahi photoshoot a hanana paha. Mahalo nui loa iā Joshua no ke kamaʻilio ʻana mai iā mākou ma iHorror a ʻaʻole hiki iaʻu ke kali e nānā i kāu kiʻi ʻoniʻoni piha ke puka ia.
