I recently spoke with Australian actress Natalie Gerace, who is set to star in Victor Miller and Kerry Fleming’s Rock Paper Dead. This young actress has a distinct, beautiful look and fabulous accent to match. KM “You’re far from home. How did you end up in LA?” NG “Well, the biggest drawcard for me moving to LA was acting. After all, it’s the hub for the entertainment industry. But nonetheless, I’ve always wanted to live here. I love the lifestyle, not to mention the glorious weather year round. It’s such a great city. There’s always something to see and do. Never a dull moment in La La land! It’s definitely very different to where I grew up. I’m a small city girl from Adelaide, South Australia. Coming from a smaller city in Australia, there really isn’t a lot of opportunity to pursue a professional career in the entertainment industry.” KM “Correct me if I’m wrong, but aren’t you named after

I spent much of last night talking with a very charming, intelligent, and funny horror author by the name of Owl Goingback. Owl is not only a witty multi award winning author, and speaker, he is also a paranormal investigator, who sometimes helps families and businesses deal with things that go bump in the night. You may have guessed by his name that he is Native American, and you would be right. Goingback is half Cherokee and half Choctaw, yes like the song. Every novel he writes is infused with the legends and teachings of Native Americans along with terrifying creatures and killers. He also tours and lectures on the subject. You might find Goingback at one of the horror conventions or a Pow Wow, where both his sons compete as dancers, in and around Florida. I talk to a lot of people in the horror industry, but I’ve found it rare to meet someone with such love and zest

Earlier today I picked up the phone to interview comic book creator/actor/writer/producer/SFX makup artist/funny man Mitch Hyman, the man behind Bubba the Redneck Werewolf. I was not quite sure what to expect. I had no idea that Hyman would such an interesting, funny and sincere man. By the time I hung up the phone my sides were sore from laughing and my head was swimming with the fascinating stories he told. This man, who sometimes bills himself as “The asshole writer” at conventions, not a very fitting title, was far from unpleasant. It was the most interesting conversation I’ve had in ages. My interest in Hyman started over the hilarious trailer I discovered for his film Bubba the Redneck Werewolf , but I came to understand there was much, much more to the writer. Not only is there the Bubba the Redneck Werewolf comic, there’s a novel featuring two unique characters named Vinnie and Mook, who will be introduced in

Today I had the pleasure of talking with Mike Hickey, filmmaker and writer/host of Crypt TV’s Fright Hype, a great program that supplies news and updates about horror films and more. Mike took the time to answer a few of my questions and I would like to share them with you now. KM “How did you get into horror?” MH “As a kid I was into Halloween, more than normal. I stayed spooky. I was always into horror. My mom wasn’t though. She was fine with movies like the old Disney Legend of Sleepy Hallow and Hocus Pocus and stuff like that, but when I was around 10 I remember having a sleepover at my godmother’s (who was into horror movies) so I could watch Wolf with Jack Nicholson, and Bram Stoker’s Dracula.” KM “What was the horror movie that got you hooked?” MH “I watched Scream when I was 13. That really stuck with me.” KM “How did your

When most people are 17, they’re main concerns are friends and who’s doing what on the weekend, but at 17 one young woman, named Kansas Bowling, had something a little different on her mind, directing her first feature film. Bowling is the co-writer, director and producer of B.C. Butcher, the world’s first prehistoric slasher film, which is now under the Troma banner. I had the opportunity to interview Bowling and this is what she had to say: KM “Can you tell us a little about you film B.C. Butcher?” KB “B.C. Butcher is the world’s first prehistoric slasher! Shot on 16mm, the film features cavewomen girl-gangs, live rock ‘n’ roll, and cameo appearances by Rodney Bingenheimer, Kadeem Hardison, and Kato Kaelin!” KM “How old were you when you wrote the film?” KB “I was 15-years-old when my friend Kenzie and I wrote it, 17-years-old when I directed it, and now I am 19-years-old promoting it’s release through Troma Entertainment!” KM

I had the opportunity to ask actor-musician Chase Coleman a few quick questions, and of course I couldn’t pass that up. Some of you will recognize him from his reoccurring role as the renegade werewolf, Oliver, from the popular series ‘The Originals’. Chase also played the role of Billy on the show ‘Boardwalk Empire’, but then again Chase has had many roles. You should know, his world is not only about acting, he’s a musician as well and often holds concerts at the conventions he attends. KM “How old were you when you decided you wanted to be an actor ?” CC “Seventeen years old.” KM “What was it like playing your first role in ‘Scarlett’ ?” CC “Mind Blowing :P” KM “In the hit show ‘The Originals’ you play the role of Oliver, a werewolf.

Filmmaker Dustin Austen took a few minutes out of his busy schedule to talk with me about his films and the horror genre in general. KM “How old were you when you saw your first horror film?” DA ” I was three and it was ‘An American Werewolf in London’. My dad sat down and said “It’s a puppet, there are cameras.” I thought, “How did they do it?” That’s really what started me on my path.” KM “How did you get into filmmaking?” DA “For me, I originally wanted to do special effects. That was until I saw ‘Evil Dead 2’. I didn’t know cameras could do that. My awesome dad gave me a camcorder, as a kid I spent a lot of time making my friends run through the woods, while I hit them with sticks. I still run around with a camera. In fact, I still have that camcorder as a reminder. Back then I had to

I had the chance to interview actress Bianca Bradey. Bradey’s most recent film was the zombie film ‘Wyrmwood: Road of the Dead’. In the movie, Bradey plays the role of Brooke, a badass heroine that develops the power to control zombies after she receives a series of shots from a deranged scientist after being kidnapped. Bradey does a fantastic job in the movie. Her character comes across as tough, but sexy. You have to see ‘Wyrmwood’ for yourself to truly appreciate her performance. Bradey was kind enough to speak with me and answer a few of my questions. KM “How did you get started in acting?” BB “I always wanted to be an actor. I started acting, singing, and dancing when I was very young. But I never pursued it seriously. I was always so shy when I was little. I never really believed in myself enough I think. But one day I woke up and realized I wasn’t being

KM “How did you get started in the film industry?” HS “I was ten when my uncle gave me a Super 8 camera, I made silent movies, I made a comedy series with my brother. Then I had a comedy cable show. ‘The Fields’ was my first real movie.” KM “How did ‘The Fields’ come to be?” HS “‘The Fields’ is based on what happened to me as a boy.

The events depicted in the film all started with a stick. I would play Godzilla with sticks and one day I heard something in the edge of the corn field. I
