Facts and true stories from behind the scenes

The Phantom Puker

By Ronnie Sortor

Speaking of bodily fluids, the SINYSTER house had no working plumbing, so we carried 5-gallon containers of water in all the time for washing. (and there was always LOTS of blood to clean up) But that didn't take care of everyone's toilet necessities. After a couple of weeks of taking the girls to gas stations to pee, everyone got tired of it and started using the muddy cellar as a bathroom. And we drank a lot of beer... One cast member had a drinking problem and was always; and I mean always, drunk. He drank til he puked. Early in the production, one time he puked in the kitchen sink, not knowing that the drain trap was gone, so the slop ended up in a stinky puddle under the cabinet. Also another time, early one Sunday morning, he popped open his first of the day's beers and sucked it dry in one gulp. BARF! It immediately came back up in a big foamy splash on the wooden living room floor, where everyone was preparing for their parts. He also pissed out of the upstairs window one time, not noticing the poor crewmember directly underneath him. Again, I can laugh now, but at the time someone had some very ruffled feathers and it wasn't a pretty scene...
