It’s summertime. Do you know what that means? Shark movies are swimming into theaters. One of the movies you need to check out is Deep Blue Sea 3 (review). I sat down with the movie’s star Tania Raymonde (“Lost,” “Goliath”), to discuss the film, her character, and much more. Tania stars as marine biologist Dr. Emma Collins whose team is based on an artificial island studying marine biology and sharks. When her ex arrives begging for help to locate a group of sharks that have escaped from a secret research facility, but that will be easier said than done. These sharks have been genetically altered. They’re intelligent and brutal. Emma and her team are now locked in a fight for survival. Horror Fuel: “So, I watched Deep Blue Seas 3 last night. I liked it.” Tania Raymonde: “Oh, I’m so glad!” Horror Fuel: “I love that so much was included the real plight of sharks and the dangers of climate

I had the honor of sitting down with special effects master and Primetime Emmy Award winner Todd Masters who has been in the special effects industry for forty years and has worked on a horde of projects including Tales from the Crypt, Slither, Skyscraper starring Dwayne Johnson, and most recently Lars Kleveberg‘s new Child’s Play movie. Todd walked me through how Chucky was brought to life and so much more. In the film, Aubrey Plaza plays the role of a mother who gives her son (Gabriel Bateman) a Buddi doll for his birthday, unaware of its sinister nature. Beatrice Kitsos (“The Exorcist”), Brian Tyree Henry (“Atlanta”), Ty Consiglio, and Carlease Burke (Shameless) also star in the film written by Tyler Burton Smith (Kung Fury). Mark Hamill voices the killer doll. Horror Fuel: “I have to confess, dolls freak me out. I was exposed to Chucky a little too young.” Todd Masters: “Oh, really? Where are you on the whole Chucky

One of the most memorable scenes from The Purge franchise stars Rhys Wakefield as that well-dressed young killer who gave the family in the first film an ultimatum as he grinned like the Chesire cat. That smile is hard to forget. Rhys has starred in many other roles than just in The Purge. He went diving in Sanctum, he went to school in After the Dark, co-starred in Echoes of War, appeared alongside Terrence Howard in Cardboard Boxer, and played the role of Lucas on the long-running series “Home and Away“. Now, he gearing up to make his directorial debut. Rhys sat down with me to talk about it and his role in The Purge as well as the soon to be released thriller The Grand Son (aka American Pets). The Grand Son follows Tod (Wakefield), a twisted young man, whose Hollywood lifestyle is put in jeopardy when he makes a fatal error. Horror Fuel: “Did you enjoy getting in

Jason Liles, the breakout star of Brad Peyton’s film adaptation of Rampage, was kind enough to answer a few of my questions. Liles and I talked about a few his previous roles in films like Netflix’s Death Note and The Conjuring 2. But it quickly became crystal clear that his role as George, the giant gorilla in Rampage, holds a special place in his heart. Liles stars in Rampage alongside Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson. Oscar nominee Naomie Harris (Moonlight), Jeffrey Dean Morgan ( The Walking Dead), Malin Akerman (Billions), Jake Lacy (Girls), Joe Manganiello (True Blood), P.J.

I’m only five feet.” Jason

Talented actress Nicki Micheaux sat down to talk with me about her numerous roles in series such as “The Shield” and “Lincoln Heights”. Nicki also took us inside the upcoming film Lowlife and gave us a glimpse into the life of her character, Crystal. In Lowlife, directed by Ryan Prows, the sordid lives of an addict, an ex-con, and a luchador collide when an organ harvesting caper goes very, very wrong. Micheaux stars alongside Ricardo Adam Zarate, Jon Oswald, Shaye Ogbonna, Santana Dempsey, and Mark Burnham. Horror Fuel: “You’ve starred in several impressive series in the past. Do you have a favorite?” Nicki Micheaux: “There has been a lot of fun stuff. But I’ve always really liked ‘The Shield’ and the role I played, Detective Trish because she’s so dark and twisted, tough and a lot of fun to play. She’s struggling being a woman. The way she handles everything, I really identify with her. I love her. Horror Fuel:

One of the most important keys to how we perceive films, shows, and games is the music that sets the tone of each scene. I recently spoke with composer and musician Penka Kouneva about her past and present projects and how she found her way to music and to the US. You may not realize it, but you have heard Penka’s work many times before in films like Elysium, Act of Valor, Angels & Demons, Freaks of Nature, Heroes and Legends and the recently released genre film Devil’s Whisper. Horror Fuel: “How did you become a composer?” Penka Kouneva: I have been drawn to music since early childhood. My mother is a teacher of music theory for a college. There was always music in our house. She took me to concerts. I felt emotionally drawn to it when I listened to music as a child. I always imagined stories and settings. Music for me was always associated with storytelling. That’s

One thing we don’t get enough of these days are real monster movies, director John Woodruff is looking to change that with Animal Among Us. He aims to deliver a real horror film by a horror fan, for horror fans. John sat down with me for an interview and to explain why Animal Among Us is a film people don’t want to miss. Animal Among Us is a story about a monster… Fifteen years ago, two teenage girls were murdered at Merrymaker Campgrounds. The case was filed an animal attack, the camp was condemned and the killer never found – but something horrific still waits in those woods. Horror Fuel: “When did you know that you wanted to be a filmmaker?” JW: “Good question. It was kind of an evolution. The first time I can remember a film really appealing to me was in a theater when my parents took me to see Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom.
