On this combined mega-episode of The Metal Pit Podcast and Someone’s In My Fruit Cellar Podcast, Blake sits down with actress Kimberley Crossman — star of the cult horror/metal film DEATHGASM and the upcoming DEATHGASM 2.

We talk acting, horror fandom, heavy metal culture, mental health, ridiculous movie gore, why improv is terrifying and wonderful, smoking fake cigarettes while pretending to be a badass, and how she went from thinking metal fans were “scary people in scary clothes”... to discovering that the metal community is one of the most open, loving, supportive groups she has ever worked with.

Kimberley also opens up about navigating depression, therapy, her podcast Pretty Depressed, becoming an ambassador for mental health research & girl-focused charities, filming in Green Bay for the 60 Yard Line, learning salsa dancing for Lucy Lawless, and how wild + surreal it is seeing DEATHGASM fandom still raging 10 years later.

We dig into the metal / horror crossover… AND she teases the absolute madness awaiting fans in Deathgasm 2 — including gore moments she STILL sees in her head when she closes her eyes.

Also: she had her baby shower this morning before this interview… so yes… power move.
