The Living Corpse: Relics Q&A with Buz Hasson: "Buz Hasson talks to us about popular horror comics franchise "The Living Corpse" – the latest instalment of which he and his partners are trying to crowdfund via Kickstarter. Hasson, whose film credits include Little Dead Rotting Hood, suggests that if the ‘Relics’ comic crowdfunding campaign is successful, they might one day get to do their film version too!
You’ve worked on some cool movies. What’s been your favorite?
Buz: thanks! tough choice since both were ideas I created with ken haeser and were just sort of getting started on this type of stuff id say its too early to say! haha but i'm loving how the process is albeit slow when it happens its exciting.
How did you get hooked up with Jared Cohn?
Buz: Through Gabriel Campisi at Traplight media. We met Gabe at our first comic book turned film premiere in san diego at comic con in 2012 for The Amazing Adventures of The Living Corpse….from anchor bay directed by Justin Paul Ritter….Gabe had interviewed us for Fangoria which was awesome we hit it off great he liked our idea for Little Dead Rotting Hood and from there we started working with him and jared on JailBait another film jared directed….we ended up making a comic then jared made the film….
And what did you do on Little Dead Rotting Hood?
Buz: i created the idea with Ken Haeser as a comic years ago it was like a throw away idea…..after showing the idea to Gabe he dug it and we got together with him and developed the mythology really in depth...the world, the universe the history the look of everything and he got it turned into the film over at the Asylum...it's on netflix now!
How many comics have you done? They all horror?
Buz: yea all horror mostly now we do more….like Grump Cat, Three Stooges, a lot of covers for different stuff...but the Living Corpse is our mainstay….it's why we make comics hands down...
Tell us about the team you’ve formed to put together this one?
Buz: Ken Haeser, Blair Smith and myself all came together from working the comic con scene on the east coast for ten years...like minded kindred spirits with the same interest in horror comedy and cartoons...films, etc...we make a good trifecta...everyone can do almost everything within the artform….different styles...that all merge…....multi talented artists within an artists co-operative!
How long have you been working on it?
Buz: We’ve been working on this new series The Living Corpse: Relics for three years. Yeah, I know….comics take a while….it's 160 pages of our last big story arc for the character….were excited to finally get it out to fans who have been patiently waiting and you all know who you are! lots of cool stuff happening in the story…..big reveals for the origin of characters fans thought they already knew...and a story that might leave you guessing for more!
And where did the germ of the idea originate?
Buz: Our ideas come from hanging out socially and creating, drawing, watching film, discussing exo-politics and deep galactic paradigms….you know, the basics.
Have you succeeded so far with the Kickstarter?
Buz: Not yet! Looking good, though, so far!
If the Kickstarter works with the comic, how soon would you like to make a film version?
As soon as the big guys in Hollywood are ready...there's some really awesome talent attached to the live action version of The Living Corpse, so we're pretty excited to see how the next year develops
