Bleeding Beauty of the month is dedicated to the Women In Horror! Each Month a new Woman will be selected to show off her sexiness, power, talent and HORROR! |
|
1. What is about horror that excites you?
A) The extreme circumstances your character finds herself in. The challenge of making it real. The non-conformity of the indie film biz! Self expression. Love of horror movies in general.
|
2. Is horror something you fell into or went for?
A) Both! I have always loved horror movies starting with the Hammer films that played on TV at midnight when I was a kid. Once I started getting roles in horror movies I lost interest in most other genres. I felt like I had found my cinematic happiness. That along with cult comedies which I also dearly love.

3. What is the one thing you haven't done in horror yet that you would love to do?
A) Play a mad scientist. Make a 10 million dollar horror film that kicks ass and has a great payday to boot. I have worked for decades in the trenches and would def enjoy a level of comfort that being a struggling artist my whole life hasn't afforded me yet. Work with more visionary directors and writers. Co-write and co-direct a nice budgeted horror film. |
4. What have you been working on lately?
A) My book, my column in Fangoria magazine - and dozens of films. Trying very hard to birth some really great new flicks coming out. I have been very lucky to have some real gems hit this year. I loved COLOUR FROM THE DARK, THE GOOD SISTERS and HANGER to name a couple. I am very excited about SLIME CITY MASSACRE, WALKING DISTANCE, WON TON BABY!, VOODOO COWBOYS, SICK BOY, TENNESSEE GHOSTS and a few others that are still in post. Lotsa really great stuff happening now I couldn't be more satisfied.

5. Do you feel more females are coming up in the industry or have they always been around?
A) YES! And it's a wonderful thing. At least with the cool ones and the ones who have their eye on the real prize which is not a narcissistic fame but those who are really deeply interested in the craft of horror film making! I am very excited about the influx of great female talent!
|
6. How do you feel about the term Scream Queen do you feel it's lost it's meaning?
A) It has, but who cares? I never called myself one but people have called me one my whole career. I think the general public likes labels and this is just another one. I can't say that it ever had high esteem or quality attached to the handle. Writers used to label certain horror/exploitation actresses by that term, now actresses try to get work by claiming to be one. I don't fault anyone though, it's tough to get a head so whatever you can do then feel free. I just think the real actresses should aim higher that calling themselves something that is very limiting.
