Tales of Goo And Bambi

While Electra and Elise Avellan (aka the Grindhouse babysitter twins) were undoubtedly fan favorites at this weekend's Fangoria's Weekend of Horrors at the Renaissance Austin Hotel, they didn't get the biggest crowd response at Saturday's Q&A about their new movie, The Black Waters of Echo's Pond. That went to writer/producer Sean Clark, for the line "I was dropping goo on the ladies. You can quote that."

The twins spend much of the movie (described by Clark as an evil Jumanji) wearing black full-eye contact lenses and drooling a thick, vile slime. But anyone who has been near a horror set knows things can be a little less creepy in front of the camera. "The problem," explained Elise, "was staring in the face of your twin who is supposed to be an evil possessed creature, but the contacts made her look like Bambi."

The goo had caused its own problems. It was, Electra explained, kinda minty, and "We were basically eating it before the shot."

But the goo and the lenses caused Clark's stomach to drop when the most recent series of Heroes aired and introduced the character of Maya Herrera. "Two months after we wrapped, there's a hot Latin chick who is a twin to her brother, and when she gets mad, her eyes go black and goo comes out. Luckily, that character didn't take off."
