One of the best birthday presents I could ever get!

I am delighted and honored that Catherine took some time to answer my questions so I could share them with you here. It was very cool to find out more about the film The Last Starfighter. I want to take this opportunity to again thank Catherine Mary Stewart for her contributions to '80s pop culture, especially with her roles in that classic film and, even more, for going back to the '80s for a little while with us here as well.

If you have not watched the underrated gem of a movie, rent it now on Amazon Prime and have your children watch it, too. It’s a great movie about bravery and exploration – and there’s a little bit of a love tale, as well.

Celebrating Women in Horror, Part 5.

Movie Synopsis: A late-night boat ride turns into a desperate fight for survival in New York City when a mischievous mouse becomes a monstrous reality. Can a motley crew survive a killer creature with a taste for tourists?

What a great way to gain some insight on the film! From what was conversed, I cannot wait for this movie to be released on April 2nd.

Amy was able to give some details (not too much) about the movie, the set, the characters, and the dynamics and with it not being released yet, some information had to be withheld.

But the audience can expect blood, gore, and little touch of raunchy even though it’s supposed to be a love letter to our favorite Disney Mouse. Also, there’s some awkwardness in the movie the audience should expect as well… We shall see!

I for one cannot wait to see David as a three-foot mouse who goes on a killing rampage… Maybe I will be able to wrap my head around it after I see the movie.

Celebrating Women in Horror, Part 4.

One of the many films that presents a Christmas slasher for the year 2024, but this one has a unique twist to the film, I guess that Mr. Scrooge finally lost it.

It was great speaking to Skye and gaining the inside scoop behind her character and the concept of the movie. This movie definitely resonates with the killer Christmas spirit and could very well be compared to other horror Christmas movies. However, this one holds the originality with the Ebenezer Scrooge killer.

With everything leading up to the ending, it is so well-crafted that it's hard to dismiss the film entirely. Watch it for the suspense, the stellar direction, and the fun performances-but know that the destination won't quite live up to the ride.

Watch The Naughty List of Mr. Scrooge on Plex, Tubi, Chilling, Google Play, and Roku.

Celebrating Women in Horror, Part 3.

Movie Synopsis: A struggling all female metal bandcalled "The Virginia Bitches" have a taste for blood and while on tour their van breaks down in the middle of nowhere. Seeking help they come across a town full of cannibals led by an infamous Warlock.

I had the pleasure and honor to speak to Chelsea about her role in what looks like to be an epic movie with vampires, witches, warlocks, werewolves, and cannibals (oh my!). This movie is the true definition of death metal, and I cannot wait to see it in the theater when it’s released. With the conceptof everything supernatural mixed into this movie, it looks like it’s going to be incredible.

The movie currently has an Indiegogo Funding Page with some amazing perks!https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/devour--4#/

Celebrating Women in Horror, Part 2

This interview was fun! Kalin is such a wonderful and talented actress because she nailed the role of the ‘Hooded Woman” – and I mean she delivered! For having no dialogue to the creepy screeching and weird body movements, bay far one of the best performances of 2024.

I believe that this was definitely a stand-out performance for her, and excellent at playing a weird creepy villain and a peculiar creature which made it fun to watch and also made me ask myself what the hell is going on at least a dozen times.

For those that have not seen this movie, here is what it is about: A 17-year-old girl is forced to move with her family to a resort where things are not what they seem. And that may be the most perfect synopsis I have ever seen for a horror movie because it’s just that.

Lessoned learned: stay away from creepy German mountain resorts! Or you may become the victim of some crazy life preservation experiment, just saying…

I had the pleasure and honor to sit down with the awesome and talented Sam Coleman who you all know as Wyllis from Game of Thrones, but we didn’t speak about that at all during this interview. Sorry.

I wanted to get to know him and his character ‘Bud’from the movie Leatherface, his aspect from the movie and knowing what it was like to film such a great movie. As I mentioned, I love origin stories. Especially origin stories about horror icons; how did it all start and who is the killer.

Sam was able to tell us all of that and he mentioned that he had a lot of fun playing his part alongside Stephen Dorff and Lili Taylor. He described how cold it was filing in Bulgaria and how they had to make it look like a hot summer in Texas. Hollywood magic is what I would describe… But you cannot have that magic without the cast and crew.

Am I a little disappointed that Bud didn’t turn out to be Leatherface? Of course I am – but it was the director’s intention to trick the audience into believing that. I tip my hat to you, Sir. Well done…

Overall, Sam is a phenomenal and talented actor. I am 100% positive that no matter what career he chooses to pursue, there will be no doubt that he will excel. Great guest and I recommend him to be a guest on anypodcast.

CELEBRATING WOMEN IN HORROR, PART 1

I had the absolute honor and pleasure of speaking to Sari about her role in Shudder’s Original “Bloody Axe Wound” where as this movie has been categorized as a coming-to-age film. Although a mixed bag of nods to other horror movies, I would have to say that this movie is nothing short of a slashing prodigy. Sari nailed the role of Abbie, and her co-stars were in their absolute best by delivering to me what is one of the best horror comedies that has been offered in 2024.

We spoke about her perspective of Abbie and what it was like to portray her along with what she thought was her inspirations to her role and the film. And she did admit that she is a Twilight fan, so acting alongside Billy Burke was a total fan girl’s dream come true.

Although she did present some challenges in the role and movie, all in all, I can see that she genuinely loved being a part of it. The only small detail that I was slightly disappointed with is that Jeffrey Dean Morgan didn’t have a baseball bat with him in the opening scene. Other than that, I thoroughly enjoyed the movie, and I highly recommend watching it as soon as you can.

With the end scene of Sam resurrecting from the dead, there may be a sequel to this movie, and I truly hope that there is. Overall, it’s a fun ride with a wild twist to the horror genre. 5 out of 5, no doubts.

I had the pleasure of speaking to Santino about his role in the movie “Monstrous” in which he acted alongside Christina Ricci. You may recognize Santino from his other role in the hit series, “Penny Dreadful: City of Angels” in which was not much of a transition for him.

This talented young man is great in what he does… We talked about what it was like on set, being a part of a supernatural thriller. Describing the dynamic between him and Christina, it feels like that those two had great chemistry on set.

We also deviated a little and talked about our favorite horror movies and television shows; getting to know each other more on a personal level.

There’s no doubt that Santino nailed the role of Cody, his talent knows no bounds and it’s nothing short of paramount. I do hope to continue to see Santino in more movies in the future. But first, he needs to pass his driving test!
