Here's how foofighters frontman Dave Grohl pitched the idea of Studio666 to his bandmates.
ET's Matt Cohen caught up with Grohl and the rest of his bandmates at TCL Theater in Los Angeles for the premiere of their horror comedy, which hits theaters Feb. 25. When asked what his pitch to the guys was for this film, Grohl didn't skip a beat and laid out exactly what he envisioned.
"Food Fighters need to make a record," Grohl's pitch begins."We don't want to use a studio. Find a creepy old house. We wind up recording in the house. House is haunted. I become possessed. I kill the whole band, and then I go solo." The film -- starring Grohl, the band, Will Forte, Jenna Ortega and Whitney Cummings -- revolves around the band trying to record their 2021 album. They ultimately wind up moving into a haunted mansion in Encino, California, where virtually everyone who crosses Grohl's path gets murdered after he becomes a monster.
Some of the more gory scenes includes bandmate Taylor Hawkins getting decapitated, Chris Shiflett's face getting pressed into a burning BBQ grill and Cummings getting split in half with a chainsaw during a love scene with Rami Jaffee. Cummings, who admits she's not a horror film aficionado, explained why she was nervous about that particular scene with Jaffee.
"I was nervous because it was rock stars not comedians," Cummings explained."So, Dave and I ran around the house they were renting to shoot and we found Jacob's Creek wine and I chugged it so I had a buzz to get through it [the sex scene] without being a moron."
