TASTY FACTS

 

 

We used 10 gallons of blood, 10 gallons of slime/goo, 15 gallons of “food,” 40 pounds of potatoes (200 pounds brought to set) and 13 pounds of ground meat.  

​

48 pie tops were made of salt dough and varnished, a hot glue gun was used to attach the tops to pie tins.  25-30 real pies were made.  20 pounds of flour was used and the meatloaf was made from cheap very fatty ground beef, SpaghettiOs and Saltine Crackers - a big loaf of greasy gristle with wormy looking bits – yummy!

 

We prepped the film for four months and filmed over the course of two weekends in South Central Los Angeles.

 

Our first catered meal was awful – we had to fire the real lunch ladies on the Lunch Ladies’ set.

​

Shayna Weber, our producer, gave birth to her son, Max Bowie Band, two weeks before we filmed.

​

We had a diverse cast and crew which included African Americans, Asians, Hispanics, Caucasians, a French production coordinator, Spanish composer, music producer and music manager, an orchestra in Budapest and handicapped actor/screenwriter Kent Rodricks who was one of the first successful spinal fusion surgeries in the world.  (Kent told us to put this in.)

​

Our final horror scene went way over schedule and we finished cleaning up gallons of fake blood only one hour before kids were to arrive for Monday morning school.

​

The fake decapitated leg that Seretta holds up in the T-Rex Meat Grinder scene is a cast of Clarissa’s.  The fake ear in the pie is a cast of Matt Falletta's.

 

After the shoot, Clarissa hung up the Lunch Ladies’  parking sign in the parking spot at her apartment.  The landlord made her take it down.
