“CSI” is airing its scariest episode ever—the horror movie-themed

“The Chick Chop Flick Shop.” We’ll be posting a promo for the show, and a graphic scene involving a chainsaw that will be toned down on TV!



Writer Evan Dunsky, director Richard Lewis and actress Liz Vassey will field questions about “CSI” during a live blog. Post your questions, then come back on Thursday, November 1^st at 10:00 pm (ET) / 7:00 pm (PT) to hear the creative team confess!



Post your questions for Liz, Evan and Richard on this forum.

Cool! I'll have to think of one.

We should have the clips on Monday. That chainsaw should help get inspired.

Me to astral, this should be pretty fun.

I'm in on this one. I'll get to work on a list of Qs.









cool thread, thanks!

Very cool, can't wait!

One thing I'd like to know is if Chiller is showing an amped up clip, well how much did they have to chop, er, a "tone it down" for tv and did they try to get away with a little more than they usually do and were they given a little more leeway for this episode by the network?

Ok, Question;

What was so graphic about that clip that it was removed from the show?*

One splatter of blood and she fell apart, big deal. It's not like it was any kind of closeup shot or any guts flying around. I've seen much more gore in hospital shows.

*Or did they really just cut it to make more time for commercials?

In fact, there was no blood whatsoever where she is chopped in half. So maybe it's about the whole chopped in half idea that's not allowed on tv. How much did that mess them up for concept of the this show and did it leave them an editing nightmare or were they expecting to have to chop some out?

these are items you post as an entry in this board... so they may see them and might get answered....

When is this show on?

Since I don't normally watch, I don't know the schedule

this Thursday at 9

After having a little taste of the horror genre, do any of you guys ever think that a Horror flick is in your future?

Liz, can you explain how the effect of you being cut in half with a chainsaw
was accomplished?

Was there anything that you had to edit out of the episode?

Where did the idea for this script come from? For that matter, where do you get the ideas for all the CSI stories?

I understand you grew up in the Tampa Bay area. Do you remember the
local horror movie host, Dr. Paul Bearer?

Hey all thanks for doing this! What is your favorite horror film? Anything you like recently?

LIZ-
Which horror movie character freaked you out the most and why?

Did you make this episode especially for Halloween? And if so, can we expect more Holliday related shows... Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Years, etc?

The chainsaw is pretty cool, but not really as gory as I was expecting...what has been the sickest most disgusting scene you've ever done on CSI?? Don't hold back, Missy! This is the internet! Hu-Rah!

Evan -- what was your experience like as the co-writer of the horror film "Voodoo Dawn" with Gina Gershon?

my question for Liz. Now that Jorja Fox is leaving, is there any chance of you moving to a regular spot on the show as a possible field agent, ala the character of Greg Sanders?



my question for Evan Dunsky. Where did you get your inspiration to write a horror themed CSI episode?

Is this thread going to be where the "Live Chat" takes place?

I don't know, but they are supposed to take our questions from here

yes question from the board will be answered at the blog.

Question: I noticed there were so many elements from the horror genre in this, were there any specific movies you used for inspiration in the filming of this episode?

I thought I'd tell you all that this show felt very much like a valentine to the horror genre that I happen to hold dear to my heart and I really liked it. You did an amazing job!

How did you guys get your first break in the business? And how did that eventually lead to the work with CSI?

Liz. Long time fan, since Grapevine. Happy mid-way between birthday to you and Kristen.
question. Do you think we'll ever see anything like Lab Rats from you guys again?

Just want to tell Chiller_tv that some questions are being asked/posted in the comments of the first blog post.

You might want to check out those questions.

I guess it was only for 30 minutes. the web page says that it is over.

yup over!
