AL: When did you first discover Werewolf: The Series and the impact it made on you?
Roberto: I discovered during its first broadcast in France in 1989 at the age of 8 with my twin brother. We fell in love with this werewolf series instantly and for 34 years, it’s never left my mind.
AL: When did you first get the inspiration to bring the series back from the dead after its demise 34 years ago and create your own show on YouTube?
Roberto: Four years ago, my brother and I were in the forest doing a sporty walk and suddenly appeared in my imagination, the werewolf Eric Cord in the woods at this moment! I take up the idea of creating the werewolf Eric Cord after 34 years of absence on our television screens and make an amateur series on YouTube for werewolf fans.
AL: The Eric Cord werewolf suit you are using in your project is so screen-accurate, I can’t believe it. Please tell us how you built such a precise and amazing werewolf that mirrors the creature on the show.
Roberto: I had no experience creating werewolves in the past. I used my artistic drawing skills and car painter by trade. Following the steps, I learned a lot by instinct or from YouTube videos on how to make animatronic latex masks for film. The werewolf are composed of a latex mask, over the skull, and resin followed by a mechanism of the jaw and ear movements. The teeth and eyes are resin. The suit is elastic textile, foam padding followed by brown hair.
AL: What is your role in the new series….are you the project's lead actor, director/ producer, or better yet are you the werewolf?
Roberto: I am the producer, and director, associated with my twin brother Roland Naccarato who is the cameraman and he takes care of the video editing of our amateur series, which will be broadcast on YouTube. I will have the supporting role in the image and tribute to actor Lance LeGault who play Alamo Joe from the television series. The Werewolf suit will be played by Noah Godefroy.
AL: Please tell us a little about the project, where it can be viewed, its episodes…how many and most of all when it will start airing on YouTube?
Roberto: The werewolf series will be streamed on my YouTube account Stalking The werewolf. first broadcast in June. A series shot in the same spirit as Werewolf TV series. I undertook to put the werewolf forward on our screens, with very little dialogue from the actors, but more action from the werewolves attacking their victims. Unlike Eric Cord who was nice, each story will be different from each other, a different theme per episode like the 80’s Tales From The Crypt tales.
AL: Have you shot other film projects before this and where if you have can they be seen?
Roberto: No, I have never made a film, This is my first experience. Thank you for the interview.
