Actress-Director Sadie Katz Talks About Hillbillies, Killer Cats, And Being A Goddess In An Interview
Today, I sat down for an interview with actress-director Sadie Katz, for what turned out to be one of the most entertaining interviews I have ever had. Katz has starred in many roles including a drug thief in ‘House of Bad’, Sally in ‘Wrong Turn 6’, the Goddess Ishtar in the remake of ‘Blood Feast’, and a wife desperate for love in the upcoming creature feature ‘Moggy Creatures’. Katz has also co-starred in many other films like ‘State of Desolation’ and ‘Way to Abbottabad’. Her own documentary, ‘The Bill Murray Experience’ will be screening in film festivals soon. Horror Fuel: “Did your co-stars in ‘Wrong Turn 6’ freak you out at all while in makeup?” SK: “It’s really funny, the three baddies, they never came out without makeup on, which is really strange.

Short Film Review: KAL-The Clown
A young woman sits in her apartment watching a movie when the doorbell rings. She answers it and finds a slightly damaged package lying in the doorway. Upon opening the package she finds a creepy clown marionette stuffed inside. It’s holding a note that looks like it was written by a child just learning to write. The note says “My name is KAL”. She closes up the box and goes back to her movie, but she will find that her “little guest” will not be ignored. Soon enough she may learn exactly what fuels people’s Pupaphobia and Coulrophobia (that’s the fear of puppets and clowns to you and me Rusty). The film was directed by Carlos Omar de León from a script he co-wrote with Vince Phrommany. Their story combines two elements that have been used to play on people’s fears for many a year – clowns and puppets/dolls. This particular puppet even bears a resemblance to the kind of
