  • Season 5, Episode 14: Interview with Award-Winning Actress Konstantina Mantelos (Shannon) from “Anything for Jackson” (2020)

    What a huge honor to speak to Konstantina about her role in one of my favorite movies! I am still in disbelief that this interview actually happened… Obviously, the director chose the right actress to play the daunting role of Shannon. Honestly, probably the hardest role in the entire movie and she performed exceptionally well.

    Anything for Jackson is one the BEST supernatural movies I have seen in a long time! With the paranormal entities and their shenanigans, this movie is fueled by supernatural nightmares and the point is made solid by the ghosts and gore in this movie.

    Konstantina’s new movie “The Killgrin” where she portrays ‘Miranda’ and is due to be released on April 25th. Also, make sure to follow her on Instagram and praise her role as ‘Shannon’ because in my opinion, she deserves an award for it!

  • Season 5, Episode 13: Interview with Brett Rickaby (Bill Furnam) from “The Crazies” (2010) - Fear Thy Neighbor

    This was a very fun and interactive interview! I absolutely loved talking to Brett about his role in the movie reprisal of “The Crazies” (2010). Even though it’s a remake of George Romero’s, I would honestly have to say the remake did it some justice.

    Brett is what we call a “Chameleon” actor; you put him in any role, he will deliver it! This can be backed up with his role as ‘Marcus’ in “Fear the Walking Dead” and to make it more believable, his drive and determination is what makes him a very gifted actor.

    We talked about his notorious scenes in the movie: the scene where he burns down the house and the scene in the jail cell. I love how he provided his own insight about his character and what he did in order to prepare for – not just the scenes but for his character. Truly, he’s an inspiration for any budding actor who wished to use the same drive and determination to get where you want to go.

    Overall, Brett is an awesome guy. I had a lot of fun speaking to him and this is one of the best interviews this year.

  • Season 5, Episode 12: Interview with Dawn Cody from “Phantasm: Ravager” (2016) – Celebrating Women in Phantasm

    I sat down with Dawn to get the inside scoop for one of my favorite movies from one of my favorite franchises and the information is priceless. From what it was like not to audition for the role (in which she delivered flawlessly), getting to know the rest of the cast and crew, and what it was like on set, to finishing the film.

    I especially loved the part where she gives us some behind the scenes secrets and film locations; just to have that knowledge is also priceless.

    Here is why I love this franchise and this movie specifically: The permeating mysteries of the series go largely unexplained, partly due to the movies often giving clashing information about what is or isn't real. It has a Lovecraftian type feel where you truly cannot know what's going on. Is the story in Reggie’s heads or Mikes’ head?

    If you or anyone you know would like to send ‘Phan’ mail a letter or card to Reggie, this is the address:

  • Season 5, Episode 11: Interview with Brande Roderick (Tanya) from Wes Craven’s “Dracula II: Ascension” (2003)

    Brande - my 200th guest!

    It was wonderful to finally sit down with Brande and talk to her about her role in Wes Craven’s “Dracula II: Ascension” and getting a better understanding of what it was like to play her role as ‘Tanya’ and to gain insight what it was like to film the movie as well.

    We also dived in about her movie, “Wineville” which happens to be her directorial debut! I am certain that the movie is going to make an impact in the horror community. It’s most certainly a great achievement for any actress to direct her first film, especially when you are as talented as she is.

    We also kind of went off topic and spoke about her role in “Starsky and Hutch” acting alongside Ben Stiller and Owen Wilson! She gave a little tidbit about a scene that was 100% improvised and the director kept that scene in the movie.

    Brande provides some resounding advice for those aspiring actors and actresses at the end of the interview, advice you might want to take her up on.

    You can catch Brande in the horror convention circuit but mostly in her most recent movie, “Wineville” which can be watch anywhere where movies are streamed. You can also follow her on Facebook and Instagram and show her your support!

  • Season 5, Episode 10: Interview with Bradley Stryker (Eddie) from “Terrifier 3” (2024) – Bartender, I Really Did It This Time

    Bradley is such a cool and talented actor! Sitting down with him and getting his insight about the movie is pure genius! We spoke about how he got the role and what it was like to be in a scene with Daniel Roebuck and Clint Howard. I couldn’t imagine anyone else playing Eddie – even though his death could have been better executed by Art, it’s still a great death scene.

    Be sure to check out his upcoming movies which are currently in production: Jingle All the Slay, LA Jesus, Dog People, Broken Bird, Mr. Wonderful, and Doctor Plague.

  • Season 5, Episode 9: Interview with Lauren O’Hara (Adeline) from “Heart Eyes” (2025) – Stay Single and Stay Alive

    I could hardly believe that this was Lauren’s first zoom interview since the movie! I absolutely loved speaking to her about her role in this romcom/horror and I will positively give this movie 5 stars.

    I love the fact that she went into full detail about her death scene in the grape crusher. She describes it all from beginning to end and I now have a lot more respect for her because her death was one of the best moments in the film.

    Even though she is the very first kill, her scream will resonate throughout the horror community, and I firmly believe that she should star in other horror films. She is not short on talent, and she will deliver any role that you put her in, and I do hope that she gets an audition for another horror movie soon.

  • Season 5, Episode 8: Interview with Lisa Chandler (Mother Camera) from “Longlegs” (2024) – The Devil Is In The Details!

    This was a wild and interesting interview!

    I sat down with Lisa to discuss her role in this very disturbing movie, and we also chatted about her death scene. Getting the insight behind that is pure gold! I loved how she described how she prepared for it, how the scene was shot in one take (which is very rare), and how the atmosphere was still very chill afterwards. There is no question that she is indeed very talented and it’s no wonder I’m a huge fan of her and her work.

    I also had a fanboy moment speaking about her role in one of my favorite Sci-Fi shows, “Altered Carbon” – she went into great detail about her scene in the show.

    We also spoke about fan theories in this movie; one she hasn’t heard: Nicholas Cage’s character, Longlegs being a former pop/rock star that sold his soul to the devil. Which may explain his high tone of voice and screaming. Though there may be a plethora of fan theories about this movie, you definitely won’t miss the easter eggs and nods towards other horror movies. You will have to watch the movie to catch them.

    By far, this movie is one of the scariest movies I have watched because I have a thing for serial killers and true crime. The connections made in this movie are just uncanny. The cults and the dolls, the blaming the devil, etc.

    Longlegs is now streaming on Hulu and be sure to have the lights on when you watch it. I can guarantee that you will not be disappointed. You can also follow and support this very talented actress on Instagram!

  • Season 5, Episode 7: Interview with Lauren Staerck (Cinderella) from “Cinderella’s Revenge” (2024) – This Ain’t No Fairy Tale…

    Lauren joined me from across the pond, all the way in Turkey and I must admit that I was very impressed with what she had to say about her character in the film. This is not your normal, everyday child’s fairy tale. This rendition of Cinderella has a much darker side than what we know growing up.

    Lauren and I sat down and spoke about her ass-kicking character, Cinderella. I got the inside scoop on what it was like on set and work with the renowned actress, Natasha Henstridge. She also tells us which scene is her favorite and what challenges posed to her while on set. There’s no more to ‘Tale” about this movie except that Lauren acted flawlessly as Cinderella and I found the movie to be very entertaining but with a twist at the end.

    There are three movies that she is currently working on: Love, Lattes, and the Christmas Lights, The Devil's Retreat, and Viral Haunt. Be sure to check those out when they are released in theaters. Also, you can support Lauren by following her on social media and showering her with support.

  • Season 5, Episode 6: Interview with Georgia Eyers (Lara Levonde) from “Godless: The Eastfield Exorcism” (2023)

    You should all know by now that I am huge sucker for possession/exorcism films that are based on true stories or inspired by true events. When I found out about this movie on Tubi, I had to sit down and give it my full, undivided attention and I am glad that I did.

    Talking to Georgia about the lead female role of Lara, I got to pick her brain and gain more insight about her character, the movie, and the story behind it. I mean, she delivered with an exceptional performance!

    If you get the opportunity to watch this movie, and I hope that you do, you may find it disturbing… Depending on how well you can handle that kind of performance. I found this movie to be very on point with the fine line between mental health instability and actual possession. I will leave that up to you to decide. However, Georgia believes that her character suffered from mental illness, and it was just simply that. If you’re not into the religious aspects of the possessions, then maybe you want to keep looking for another movie to watch.

    Overall, magnificent performance from Georgia and the rest of the cast. The movie had me guessing and on the edge of my seat – that is what I exactly expect a horror movie to do, and this one is definitely going to wind up on my favorites list.

  • Season 5, Episode 5: Interview with Bennett Taylor (Raphael Adolini) from “Prey” (2022) – Not Too Little, Not Too Much

    What an absolute pleasure to speak with Bennett from one of my favorite Predator movies! I will say that I thoroughly enjoyed the hell out of Prey, and I also cannot stress how much I looked forward to speaking to him.

    And the fact that Bennett delivered his role flawlessly would be an understatement. Everyone just might was well consider Bennett part of the Predator family – for what his character did for Naru in the movie is very honorable. And the fact that he didn’t receive the recognition for his role kind burns my butt a little.

    Sitting down and talking to him, he had a lot to say, and I listened… I am still in awe from speaking to such a talented actor. He spoked about his character, the preparation for the best scenes, and some behind the scenes secrets for filming this epic movie. I hope that the writers bring back Raphael in a memory scene or something because I believe he deserves it.

    Let’s talk about fan theories for bit… Obviously, the biggest fan theory and easter egg is the flintlock pistol that Rapheal gave to Naru and how it winds up at the end of “Predator 2” - I’d like to hear your fan theories about the flintlock pistol… How did the Predator in “Predator 2” acquire the flintlock pistol from the Comanche Indians?
