What a great way to open the new season!

This movie combines elements of small-town zaniness, Martian invasion, married romance, and homicidal zombies in a melting pot of a movie starring Brenda James, Nathan Fillion, Michael Rooker and Elizabeth Banks.

If I could describe Brenda with one word, it would be FUN! I loved how she went into detail describing her character and what it was like to be on set with Michael Rooker and Nathan Fillion.

She broke it down for me: from the special effects to the raw meat that she had to smell and handle while performing exceptionally well. I would not be able to think of a better person to portray Brenda – she auditioned, and she delivered! This is a huge honor for me because I am a fan of the movie and I am a fan of her work – I truly hope that I get to see her in more movies in the future.

I had an absolute blast talking to Brenda and getting the inside scoop about her character, the special effects, the set, the makeup, the director, and other actors.

She is currently involved with a movie called “Dorothea” which is still in post-production. Make sure to keep an eye on the release date!

What an amazing way to end the season!

Alexandra is such a cool person! We spoke about her character “Marie’ and how she is a crossover from the “Bad Candy” Universe and both movies happen to be Halloween themed which makes everything perfect.

Essentially, Marie is a part of a vampire heavy metal band battling a warlock that is hellbent on world domination/destruction, I guess. That’s what I am gathering from the trailer anyway – I could be 100% incorrect with that theory and being mislead by the Scott Hansen’s ideas.

She is also in the process of writing her own movie which is called “A Deadly Path” and it’s a post-apocalyptic movie and I am already intrigued by the concept. For some reason, I have been watching a lot of post-apocalyptic movies lately, especially post-apocalyptic zombie movies.

Crank up the volume, raise your horns in the air, and check out the movie when it’s released in October this year.

Synopsis: A curious group of friends sneak into an abandoned spinach canning factory to investigate the legend of the "Sailor Man," who is said to haunt the factory and local docks.

After watching the trailer, I can honestly say that Popeye looks appropriately terrifying! His sailor's uniform is blood-spattered as he smokes his pipe, and he looks equally frightening from a distance as he watches one of the friends who are in the factory.

It was great sitting down with Elena and getting the inside scoop about this movie! And if you’re like me who grew up watching the Popeye cartoons, you should be fascinated, too. Elena gave some great insight about the film in regard to the location, the use of practical special effects and make-up, and the dynamic of the actors on set. I for one, am looking forward to seeing this movie.

Grab a can of spinach, because it’s sailing into theaters and will be available for streaming March 21st.

Movie Synopsis: While exploring a decrepit and abandoned facility, an auspicious photographer faces off against her traumatic past.

Andrew, Andrew! Such a great and funny guest! I absolutely enjoyed this interview with Andrew and gaining his insight regarding his character and the concept behind the movie.

What have we learned? That the movie was actually filmed in abandoned buildings at decommissioned Chanute Air Force Base in Rantoul, Illinois. Talk about the director using resources! We also learned that the best method for acting is to jump straight into your role without hesitating and overthinking. Andrew was successful at it and so could all of the aspiring actors out there.

Overall, the movie is a great psychological mind-spank. Andrew brought up a great point, if there should be a sequel, the audience should know how the black mold works when messing with the mind… And Andrew and Brooke defeat it!

Movie Synopsis: When a young man becomes the target of a malevolent entity, he must uncover its true intentions before it takes complete control of him.

Let’s dive into the paranormal realm for a few minutes! I had the honor and pleasure of speaking to one of the most talented women in horror. Kimberly Jindra who portrays the scary coven woman in this movie delivered her part! Without a doubt, she is exceptional and talented.

You can also catch her in the movies “Insidious” (2010) , “Devil” (2010), and “Insidious: Chapter 2” (2013).

I love the fact that she went into great detail regarding her role and what it was like on set. And, she had a fun time, too! That tells me that she really enjoys her work, and I hope that I get to see her in another horror movie soon.

First of all, I would like to say that I absolutely love the Alien franchise! The franchise in which we know started in 1979 and it’s still going strong in the movie industry, the horror community, and in the convention circuit. Who would have thought that a low budget Science Fiction movie would make such a huge difference and impact?

I am honored to have had the opportunity to speak to Carl Toop, the iconic Xenomorph in “Aliens” (1986). He has to be one of the most generous actors I know. We spoke about his role as the Alien Warrior and what it was like to wear the costume, filming on the set, and to work with such a wonderful cast.

He also went into very descriptive detail about the iconic scene with Carrie Henn – the flooded sub-basement scene at Hadley’s Hope.

So what is Carl up to now? He’s a Chef in France! Who would have guessed? However, he remains true and loyal to his fans by attending conventions around the world and in the United States. This actor is a true legend!

If you have the chance to check out the special edition of “Aliens” (1986), please do! The DVD shows deleted scenes from the original cut. And, make sure that you celebrate “National Alien Day” on April 26th and show your support to the awesome franchise, directors, and actors.

Celebrating Women in Horror, Part 7 (Final Segment)

As a quick reminder, this is what the movie is about: When a locket is removed from a collapsed fire tower in the woods that entombs the rotting corpse of Johnny, a vengeful spirit spurred on by a horrific 70-year-old crime, his body is resurrected and becomes hellbent on retrieving it.

Sitting down and hearing Charlotte’s perspective about the memorable kill in this movie was very exciting. I mean, I had to pose the question why her character was killed. Was she doing the downward dog incorrectly? Was the yoga mat too cheap for Johnny’s approval? Or was she in Johnny’s spot? There are many questions regarding her death…

And there are many fan theories as to why Johnny was killing them all. Seriously, just kill the one person who stole the locket. The moral of the story is, don’t take what’s not yours. Or we can go with Charlotte’s theory: Don’t mess with Mother Nature.

Celebrating Women in Horror, Part 6

For those who have not seen or heard about this movie, here’s what it’s about: While exploring a decrepit and abandoned facility, an auspicious photographer faces off against her traumatic past.

I sat down with a young and talented actress to gain insight about this movie and her role. I can honestly say that the movie is very intense due to the psychological approach and how it deeply probes the mind of the female lead. However, with Maisie portraying the younger version of Brooke, her performance was extraordinary.

I definitely recommend this movie if you are looking for something exciting and mind-bending to watch.

You can also catch Maisie acting as ‘Ginny’ in the comedy horror, “Departing Seniors” which I also recommend watching.
