The dark eyed and alabaster
skinned Countess Lilith is also a
big bunny enthusiast - hugely
devoted to her pet rabbits Serena
and Samantha…. which
explains the name of her recently
formed company, Vampybunny
Productions. When the former
dominatrix Mistress Lilith agreed
to an interview what could be
said other than “Thank you
Mistress. May I ask you a
question?”Owen:
What are your qualifications as
The High Priestess of
Horror?
Lilith: Well, I guess the
life I've led could be considered
pretty horrifying by most people.
I think some of that qualifies
me.
Owen: Did you
have a certain mentor for
assuming that position?
Lilith: Not really, I just
created myself in the image I
thought a woman in horror films
should be.
Owen: So when
you call Lilith Stabs as a
creation --- as being your own
horror persona --- then do you
consider yourself more a
personality than an actress?
Lilith: No, not really.
I've always just considered
"Lilith" to be me. I
didn't really mean it like
it’s a character or
anything. I'm just myself.
Owen: You've
made a number of horror films to
date. When it comes to
getting roles in these movies are
there auditions or is it more a
matter of networking and people
learning about you from
appearances at conventions and
your website?
Lilith: I really haven't
had to audition, I usually end up
working with people I've
networked with or that have
already seen some of my work or
even already worked with me in
the past. It’s a lot easier
that way, when they already have
a role in mind for you and know
you are proper for it then there
is usually no need for an
audition.
Owen: Speaking
of that --- you are a HUGE hit on
the convention circuit, what is
the key/secret to being a success
at those venues?
Lilith: Going to enough of
them so people expect to see you
there. Showing up, bring
merchandise (movies/photos, etc.)
and go to the parties afterward.
Owen: You
recently starred in the SQ
documentary 'Something to
Scream About' where you
and 9 other actresses' (Brinke
Stevens - hostess, Ariauna
Albright, Brandi Burkett, Debra
DeLiso, Denice Duff, Judith
O'Dea, Felissa Rose, and Julie
and Lizzie Strain) discuss the
biz. Did you feel a big
sense of Scream Queen
sister-power in the company of
these horror icons?
Lilith: Yes, I think the
project was a great idea as well
as bringing a varied enough group
of actresses from the horror
industry. I think that is what
made it interesting.
Owen: Tell me
about 'The Bad Movie
Police' project also
with Ariauna Albright?
Lilith: The Bad Movie Police
is us in segments really
basically making fun of the movie
that is shown afterward. The Bad
Movie Police is a really fun
project and I hope we are going
to shoot 4 & 5 soon. Nov.
16th is the release date for Bad
Movie Police 3.
Owen: 'Cremains'
is another wild movie of
yours...what was the most
memorable thing
about that shoot?
Lilith: My parts were shot
at a different time from the
other actors and actresses so it
was basically just me. But one of
the more memorable parts was the
scenes we shot in New Orleans at
the House of Death (that was my
house in the movie).
Owen: What other
projects are upcoming for you?
Lilith: I hate naming
these things before they actually
happen but I do have several
upcoming projects I'll announce
after they get filmed.
Owen: You
started out as a
dominatrix. Did being that
persona sort of make you realize
that you could be a successful
actress?
Lilith: Well, I actually
wanted to act before I wanted to
be a dominatrix. But being
successful as a dominatrix did
indeed make me realize I could be
successful at other things as
well, like being an actress.
Owen: What
tricks of the domination trade
come in handy with fans?
Lilith: I think that
dealing with so many people &
having them reveal so many
secrets about themselves can give
you a lot of insight to many
things about human nature.
So in general it just helps.
Owen: You're
a musician as well...describe
your music for me in five words.
Lilith: Pop rock. I have
to say that the stuff I recorded
in the past was with someone who
really did not understand what I
was going for at the time.
Owen: What
is something that makes you
scream?
Lilith: Bees!!!
Owen: What have
been your best and worst film
experiences in the low-budget
horror field?
Lilith: Some of my best
experiences in low budget horror
films are really when I get to
work with friends and other than
that I really like seeing the end
product come out. That is my
favorite part. Some of my worst
experiences are maybe not getting
paid or sort of getting ripped
off.
Owen: What's
something that makes you want to
kill?
Lilith: Well, I don't like
the fact rabbit fur has made such
a come back as far as being
fashionable. I personally think
it should be left right where it
is, on the pretty little bunnies.
I'd much prefer the people who
profit from this end up skinned
instead. Bunnies are not for
eating either!
Owen: I know of
your fierce attachment to your
bunnies Serena and Samantha ---
do you consider them your
familiars or your children and
what qualities do you share with
them or what gives you a special
attachment to them?
Lilith: I suppose they are
a bit like familiars (that is
when they are not being treated
like spoiled children). I
personally think bunnies are the
most adorable creatures on earth
so I guess that and the fact that
get very attached to me makes me
get very attached to them. I'm
not sure what qualities I share
with them, but I always list
these as bunny qualities:
adorable, irresistible, fertile,
sexually insatiable, they can be
quite cunning and are ruthlessly
hunted.
Owen: What are
your favorite horror movies?
Lilith: Some of the horror
movies I enjoy the most are the
real types not just the monster,
zombie, vampire stuff. Some
I liked in recent years
Donnie Darko and Fraility.
Owen: What's
your dream role?
Lilith: I like playing
some things other than just
horror; I also like dark comedies
and thrillers. So roles that
don't just confine me to horror.
But a dream role I'd have to
really think about that one.
Owen: Where do
you see yourself 5 years
from now?
Lilith: Hmmm...I don't
really know, but I know I'll
still have bunnies.
