At the age of 14, Tiffany Shepis made her film debut with a bit part in Troma's 1996 cult fave Tromeo and Juliet. Since that unassuming start, Shepis has gone on to become one of indie horror's most loved, and most talented, performers. I recently sat down with Shepis for a free-wheeling, unfiltered conversation about her life, her career, and long hours, bad food and stupid people.
First, congratulations on your recent nuptials, Ms. Honeymooner. A little birdie named Heidi told me you've married Sean Tretta, the director of your wonderful new film, The Frankenstein Syndrome. FanGirlTastic wants the inside story, so make with the dish, sis. Had y’all known each other previously? Did you swoon at first sight?
Thanks! Yeah, that li'l birdie Heidi has a big fucking birdie mouth! [laughs] Yes, I did get married to Sean. We met briefly before working together on Frankenstein Syndrome at a Fango [Fangoria convention] in Los Angeles.

Horror filmmaker Sean Tretta has become pretty good at problem-solving. On small, independent flicks like Death Factory Bloodletting, Tretta had to deal with the usual issues that plague a low-budget shoot. But his new movie, The Frankenstein Syndrome, is his largest production to date. And with a bigger budget comes a whole new set of problems. "What surprised me is that no matter how much money you have, you always wish you had more."
"I had far more money for Frankenstein Syndrome than I had on all my other films combined, but it was still hard work," Tretta says. "Bigger productions mean more people and more issues. Obviously, the goal of any film, regardless of the budget, is to stretch each dollar as far as you can. People are shocked when I tell them what the budget of our film is — shocked that we did it for as little as we did.

Blast those scientists always meddling in God's domain. Have none of them read Frankenstein? Now it's stem cells giving rise to an unhappy undead abomination. What have scream queen Tiffany Shepis and Louis (brother of Costas) Mandylor wrought upon us with The Prometheus Project?
The Prometheus Project tells the Frankenstein-inspired tale of a group of researchers conducting underground stem cell research that discover a cell anomaly that has the potential to regenerate dead tissue. Believing they have created a “universal healing serum”, the researchers apply the serum to corpses with “unfavorable” results.
And somehow cage fighting figures into it based on the photos I've seen at The Prometheus Project's MySpace page. I'm all for Frankenstein-ian Mma movies.
Starring the aforementioned Shepis and Mandylor, The Prometheus Project (currently in post-production) is the newest film from the appropriately titled Ominous Productions and writer-director-producer Sean Tretta, he of The Great American Snuff Film,...
