He's teamed up with the original Feast writers to bring us Feast II: Sloppy Seconds. We sat down with Gulager and grilled him about all the monster barf, blood, and puss that leaks out of Feast 2, and found out the biggest set problem was the monster's jean sausage. Gulager told us how to keep those monster peens in place while filming in a mildly conservative town, plus an exclusive clip of the town's meth head.

So Feast 2 takes place right after the original and now the monsters are headed to the town, What was your decision to bring in the biker gang?

She is Harley Mom's twin sister. We tried to keep all that a secret but it didn't work out. She's Harley Mom's twin sister the biker queen and she's in an all girl biker gang. They come looking for the sister and go off to fight some of the scallywags that roughed her up.

What was it like making another movie without all of the Project Greenlight cameras?

You don't really have too much perspective on what's going on when the cameras are following each other around. You kind of realize that there is this whole level of stress that's not there anymore. I've become friends with most of the people that I worked on Project Greenlight with though in fact my other camera man is one of the camera men from Project Greenlight. They were all really good guys, but there was another level stress when the cameras were there.

Why did you decide to keep working with the same writers you met on the first Feast?

It has to be. It had to be Marcus [Dunstan] and Patrick [Melton] because it was sort of the three of us that went through something. We all became pretty good friends, we survived Project Greenlight and went through something. It was always the plan to get together and come up with something. But we didn't want to make the same movie again so in that respect I think some people will be happy and some people will be disappointed. I think ultimately people will be happy.

There is a lot, a lot, or blood and gore and barf what was your favorite part of filming all of that?

The monster suits are funny. Monsters are grumpy, first off. They are in these suits and we shoot a lot of it in day time and they can't really run that far. I imagined these monsters jumping all over the place and stuff. But they get really tired and really hot. So they were always sitting in these plastic chairs with these little fans in their laps to cool off. So they would run down the street, but they could only run once. And then sit in the chairs for a while. Then they would go back up the street in the pick up truck, and there would be these monsters just sitting on the back gate of the pick up truck going back up the road. That was pretty funny and crazy to see.

Monsters get tired and monsters get hot. We had to stick a little oxygen tube up their nose. They can't really stop, or take time off. They also had these big monster penises that would sort of fall off, there would just be this penis sitting in the middle of the road. But they were monster penises so if you didn't know what they were they just looked odd.

But we got in a little trouble with the town over the monster penises. Well you know these folks, "I don't know what you do in California but you don't do that around here in front of our women. If I see that monsters thing in my face again there's going to be trouble." You know that kind of thing. You're working some where you can't get in a fight with everybody. You kind of depend on the kindness of strangers so you have to say, "No sir I won't do that again." Then I told everyone to be careful and not put the monster penis in front of this place and then later in the afternoon I turn around and boom there are monsters sitting on the plastic chairs fan in lap right in from of the guys house, sticking out. But everything worked out in the end.

Feast II: Sloppy Secondsis out on DVD today and it's literally buckets monster barf worth of fun. Each little character is truly out of the warped minds of Gulager, Dunstan and Melton. The death count is high and no one is exempt from the monster madness. After viewing the movie I can easily agree with Gulager that the baby is my favorite character as well. It's sloppy, messy full of boobs and gore, but at least Gulager knows how to make his movies stand out from the piles of other horror direct to DVDs. It drags in a few places and sometimes it's hard to follow the action but the glimmering moments of skin melting vomit and the little introductions into every character's life is the perfect example of what makes Feast 2 special, and here is io9's own little intro to the town's meth head:

<![CDATA[Feast 2 Trailer Is A Pretty Little Massacre]]> The blood and guts of beasties, ripping apart their next human meals, are on the menu in the lovely new trailer for Feast 2: Sloppy Seconds. Honestly, I really like the look of it. Unfortunately, I'm almost 100% sure this is just more proof of Project Greenlight's John Gulager's ability to edit together an interesting trailer with great music. But it gets me all more excited for a much more interesting movie, which I'm sure I won't get.

The sequel picks up moments after the original and follows the evil creatures as they descend upon the nearby town, gobbling up pedestrians as they go.

The trailer actually has some very interesting moments and is edited very well. But they seriously should have cut the terrible line at the end, it's crass and not even that funny. Sigh, I honestly like Gulager — I just wish he'd stop getting in his own way.

<![CDATA[More Beasts For Your Buck In Feast 2: Sloppy Seconds]]> Didn't get enough monster in the original Feast? Well, hang on to your campy fan-kid hat — Feast 2 is stuffed to the fangs with more men in monster suits. With their bellies full of human remains from the local bar, the monster baddies from the original Feast attack the nearby town, looking for dessert. In Feast 2: Sloppy Seconds, it's up to the villagers to outwit the hungry beasts and escape with their lives. John Gulager from Project Greenlight is back in the director's chair, and the script is penned by the original writing team Patrick Melton and Marcus Dunstan.

<![CDATA[Project Greenlight's Feast Takes Two More Bites Out Of Your Head]]> Feast, the movie that won the televised Project Greenlight competition, is getting two more chances for its blood-thirsty, flesh-eating monster to hit the big time — with Feast 2 and 3. But this time, there's none of that dirty Good Will Hunting money to muck up the artistic flow. Strangely enough, director John Gulager, writers Patrick Melton and Marcus Dunstan, and most of the cast (even the characters who died in the first Feast) are all working on the rest of the Feast trilogy. Click through to see a bloody gallery of some of your past favorite Feast friends filming number two, including Honey Pie (Jenny Wade) and Beer Guy (Judah Friedlander).

If you are a fan, you'll notice that Harley Mama is in Feast 2, even after meeting a grisly end in the original. Don't fret: in this sequel, she plays Harley's biker twin sister. The second installment of Feast will be called Feast 2: Sloppy Seconds. The story picks up right where it left off, and follows the beasties into a nearby town to watch it rip up the townspeople. The third Feast was filmed right after 2 and is titled Feast 3: The Happy Finish. We should be seeing the first of these straight-to-DVD movies in October. It's a shame that they didn't decide to go the TV movie route, as that has had better luck over direct-to-DVD these days. [Fangoria]
