  • Season 4, Episode 15: Interview with Award-Winning Actress Lulu Adams (Axe Girl) from “Where the Devil Roams” (2023)

    My 100th Guest!

    Lulu Adams is perhaps one of the most talented actresses I have ever spoken to from the

    independent horror community: her diverse strategy of acting has certainly put herself and her family in the top tier of horror.

    She and I discussed the possible theory about Maggie making a possible connection that the ‘Axe Girl’ is Eve’s sister by the way she looks just right before she gets hacked into pieces. Does that theory hold? Who knows?

    Lulu also explains how she was chosen for the role, and I believe that chopping a ‘fuck-ton’ of wood would definitely have something to do with it. Who wouldn’t want to hack someone into pieces in the name of justice? Afterall, Maggie, Seven, and Eve killed the tenant of the home. Then Maggie proceeded to “snoop” around the house in which therein caused her demise. The moral of the story is don’t go snooping around where you’re not supposed to.

    If you are interested in dark horror with the lore of angels and devils, and the possibility of reanimating body pieces, then “Where the Devil Roams” is most certainly your type of movie.  Where the Devil Roams is not your typical systematic movie where things are supposed to happen in sequence but more along the lines of trying to survive and provide

    for your family. I get the notion that being a “Carny” is not easy and it’s a tough life.

    Overall, in the end the family got what they wanted, even though Seven wasn’t there to

    enjoy their small victory of Making it to the Buffalo Horror Show. Even in darkness, there is light.  Be sure to follow and support Lulu on Instagram and keep your eyes and ears open for her next film.

  • Season 4, Episode 14: Interview with Melissa Holder (DJ Raven) from Terror Film’s Series “The Dead Hour” (2010-2014)

    Melissa Holder as you know portrayed DJ Raven in Terror

    Film’s Series “The Dead Hour” (2010-2014) which is a series that presents short stories in an anthology format which is available video on demand via Tubi.     

    Her and I talked about her role as ‘DJ Raven’ and how much she enjoyed playing a significant role although she compared herself with the Crypt Keeper from “Tales from the Crypt” which these two do go hand in hand for

    bit but minus the puns from the Crypt Keeper.

    She also explains that majority of the episodes are filmed in Omaha or surrounding cities in Nebraska, keeping it centralized, keeping it low key on budget. In which there is absolutely nothing wrong with that! It’s simple, it’s cheap, and it modernized to what we know as an anthology.

    Asking her what her favorite sub-genre in horror is, she

    conveys that she cannot do gore but absolutely loves paranormal. Rewinding a bit, she also tells a tale of how she experienced paranormal activity herself and how it affected her. I think we would all be scared, too. However, she does admit she loves the Scream franchise.

    Such a wonderful guest and hopefully we will see her reprise herself in a season 4. Fingers crossed and hopefully the writers and directors at Terror Films will see this and begin coming up with ideas immediately!

  • Season 4, Episode 13: Interview with Tallulah Evans, Eddie MacKenzie, Lewis Santer, & Marcus Massey from "Winnie-the-Pooh: Blood and Honey 2" (2024)

    I had the absolute pleasure of speaking with Tallulah Evans, Eddie MacKenzie, Lewis Santer, and Marcus Massey who act in the new and upcoming "Winnie-the-Pooh: Blood & Honey 2" (2024). In a first quadruple interview special, it's a first for The Horror Heathen YouTube Channel and the South Jersey Horror Podcast.

    They each described their character's persona; Tallulah (Lexi), Eddie (Piglet), Lewis (Tigger), and Marcus (Owl) in their own way. We also discussed how it would have been if bigger shoes had to be filled by the new actors taking over the roles. However, in my opinion, I am 100% certain that Tallulah and Eddie have earned their way into the Pooh Universe.
    With the second installment, there is supposed to be more blood, "Buckets full" according to Eddie, and more gore. With a bigger budget, it's expected to surpass the first movie. I for one, am looking forward to seeing the sequel because I was thrilled with the first with a lot of "WTF" moments and that is what exactly I am looking for in a horror movie.

  • Season 4, Episode 12: Interview with Stasa Nikolic (Aerial) from “Subspecies V: Bloodrise” (2023)

    Stasa Nikolic is defined as the actress who wears many hats; from acting, to dancing, and theater, she is an all-around talented individual. The insight that she offered about the movie is paramount knowledge that anyone can soak in, I can admit happily that I learned a lot about the movie, and I also believe that her on screen chemistry with Anders Hove is brilliant.

    As I stated in the interview, this rendition from the franchise is one of the better films that I actually enjoyed. I can imagine as if any other fan of the franchise feels the same way. Hopefully, there will be a sixth installment as Stasa sneakily hinted in the interview.

    Overall, this was a great interview with Stasa. I can tell by her personality that she is committed to her strategies of becoming a better actress and for that, I have a lot more respect for her and what she does.

    Be sure to follow her on Instagram and catch her in her new & upcoming thriller: “Tarot” where she plays the ‘Countess’ alongside Olwen Fouéré (from The Texas Chainsaw Massacre – 2022), Jacob Batalon (from the Spiderman Universe), and Harriet

    Slater (from Indiana Jones and The Dial of Destiny).

  • Season 4, Episode 11: Interview with Legendary Award-Winning Actress Susan Lanier (Brenda Carter) from The Hills Have Eyes (1977) – the original “Scream Queen”

    I was sort of in the virtual presence of excellence with the legendary actress Susan Lanier from Wes Craven’s “The Hills Have Eyes” (1977). I must admit that I was star-struck (again) and I am not sure why I keep having that issue. However, it was an absolute honor and pleasure to speak to her about her role in the classic horror.

    Talking to her about her past and current roles was

    nothing but enlightening; talking about some behind-the-scenes secrets and how hard it was to film in the desert despite the hot and cold conditions. As austere as the environment can be, she sure as hell pulled it off, which makes me respect her a whole lot more.

    Susan and I also discussed how to be a successful actress; you have to give it all, your 100% in order to make yourself stand out. In my opinion, I can tell by an actor’s body language if they want to be there or not. Any budding actors out there need to listen to Susan’s advice.

    Make sure to follow Susan on social media, Facebook and Instagram. She also acts in the movie Black Mass alongside Lisa Wilcox, Jeremy London, Lew Temple, Devanny Pinn, and a lot more renowned actors. There is a movie in post-production called “The Boatyard” that she also stars in, be sure to check out the trailer and support Susan.

  • Season 4, Episode 10: Interview with Award Winning Actress Najarra Townsend (Samantha) from Contracted (2013) & Contracted: Phase II (2015)

    WARNING: This interview contains spoilers to the

    movies

    Najarra Townsend is such a wonderful actress; I am

    still star struck from speaking to her about her role as Samantha in two of my favorite films. If anyone has not seen these two films, I highly recommend watching them because Najarra carries the role as Samantha throughout the entire movies making the audience connect with her, helping the viewers understand what she is experiencing which made me develop a soft spot for
    Samantha.

    Envision someone who was wrongfully subjected to

    someone’s guilty pleasure. Samantha goes through the stages of grief, loss, and anger and yet she continues her life as if nothing ever happened. And yet, the assailant is never identified or caught. That’s a bit damn frustrating if you ask me.

    What does this movie and Najarra’s character represent? Are the movies representations or metaphors of the dangers of

    unprotected sex? How are STDs easily spread if you are not cautious? It depends on how you look at it from director’s and writer’s perspective.

    Overall, both films are excellent, and I would love to

    see a third adaptation to carry on from the first two. If you are into zombies and someone who is hellbent on getting revenge, these movies are definitely for you.

    Be sure to follow Najarra Townsend on Instagram and

    check out her posts; she will be starring in three new horror films: The Devil Makes Three, NFT, and Bits. She is a VERY talented actress, and I would love to see her in a lot more movies and I would love to see her win more awards.

  • Season 4, Episode 9: Interview with Kelsey Livengood (Mischief) from “Clown Motel: 2 Death Do Us Part” (2022)

    Kelsey Livengood, such an incredible actress who acts in

    the movie “Clown Motel: 2 Death Do Us Part” (2022). I was thoroughly impressed with this movie. Although filmed in the hot Nevada desert, I would have to give major props to the location scout for finding abandoned caves to film a movie. However, you would never catch me in Nevada, not even to visit Las Vegas, too much bad stuff happens in Nevada. Have you not seen “Army of the Dead” and other zombie/apocalyptic movies in deserts?

    Kelsey goes on to tell us what it was like on set and to act with other actors such as Tony Moran, Elissa Dowling, and Ari Lehman.

    Big names in the horror community and I am sure that it was great to work with them on set.

    Apart from other ‘Clown’ movies, this one definitely

    sets itself apart from other independent movies that involve the scary nightmares of clowns and things that go bump in the night. Clowns are most definitely top on
    my list of things to be afraid of. Coulrophobia is a REAL fear in case anyone didn’t know… I mean, look at Pennywise and Art.

    Make sure to catch Kelsey on her podcast “A Little Bit

    of Mischief” wherever podcasts are heard. And she also stars in the new horror short movie “Sorority Babes” alongside Jessa Flux, Angel Nicole Bradford, and Morrigan Thompson.

    Until next time freaks and geeks, stay spooky!

  • Season 4, Episode 8: Interview with Tom Fitzpatrick (Parker Crane/The Bride In Black) from the “Insidious” Films

    "Tip Toe Through the Tulips with Me"...........

    Parker "Marilyn" Crane, also known as The Bride in Black, is the secondary antagonist of the Insidious franchise. He is a man who, in life, became a serial killer after suffering years of psychological abuse at the hands of his mother, and later became a parasitic ghost bent on killing and possessing Josh Lambert.

    What a great interview with Mr. Fitzpatrick! He went into clear details on how he was chosen for the role of The Black Bride, and I

    find it amazing. The casting director could not have chosen a better person for the role, Tom definitely nailed it (no pun intended). What do we know about the movie franchise and the character? You’re going to have to watch the video to understand how it all began for Tom and how his talent has landed him to be one of the most iconic figures in the horror community and genre.

    From horror conventions to making it to the big time at the TCL Chinese Theater in Hollywood, this most extraordinary gentleman is unstoppable! Or maybe, just maybe, he wants to live!

    Also, from what he had said in the interview, there is a website solely dedicated to The Black Bride: https://insidiousparker.carrd.co/#about and there is a YouTube video as well: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nt1kcsFu-bs

    Be sure to check out Tom Fitzpatrick online to see what he may become or what he will do in the future!

  • Season 4, Episode 7: Interview with Award Winning Actress Giovannie Cruz (Officer Huxley) from “Suitable Flesh” (2023)

    Giovanne Cruz! Such a wonderful guest! Who would have thought that she and I had so much in common? But that’s not what the interview is about.  Her role in the latest Lovecraftian movie, “Suitable Flesh” alongside Barbara Crampton, Heather Graham, Bruce Davidson and Judah Lewis. This movie certainly touched all points in the H.P. Lovecraft universe: from the low-cosmic colors to body jumping, and the gratuitous sex scenes, this movie is made for the Lovecraft genre.

    Giovanne posited the theory that Barbara Crampton’s character and Heather Graham’s character are actually biological sisters due to the fact that the “ancient one” (that’s what I am calling this so-called demon/person who is causing all of this trouble) can only jump to bodies of those who are within the same bloodline. After mentioning that, I am going to have to rewatch the movie and see if that theory holds – but I am most certain it does.

    Overall, a great guest that I would love to have back on my shows in the future. In the meantime, follow Giovanne on Instagram for

    updates. Additionally, continue to follow me as I continue to add more guests to my shows.

  • Season 4, Episode 6: Interview with Award Winning Actress Erin Boyes (Judy Carruthers) in “It’s a Wonderful Knife” (2023)

    In this magnificent interview, I spoke to the talented Erin Boyes in regard to her role in the Christmas horror comedy, “It’s a Wonderful Knife” alongside Jane Widdop, Justin Long, and Joel McHale. For anyone who has not seen this movie, it’s a Nancy Drew rendition of a teen slasher with a hint of Ghost Face from the Scream franchise.

    We discussed how the chemistry was on set with the other actors and actresses and how it was an absolute blast for the cast and crew. We also spoke about how the LGBTIQA Community

    has worked its way into horror movies and how it has drawn in nothing but a positive impact in the horror genre and other actors to step forward. It’s with that perspective I believe that horror movies will continue to do so much better in the industry.

    Make sure to follow Erin Boyes on her Instagram account and continue to support her and her current/future projects. Also make sure to check her out in her new role in the upcoming horror movie “Longlegs” due to be released this year.
