good or bad?
good or bad?
You're the last person to die in your favorite horror movie, what's the name of the movie and how do you die?
Nightmare on Elm Street. I defeat Freddy in my dreamworld and wake up as the lone survivor. I start to celebrate until Freddy bursts out of my mirror and rams his razors into my gut. I never woke up! I'm still in a dream.
In a remake of Friday the 13th – you play Jason – what would be your method of execution for all your victims?
Though the machete is a classic weapon, I'd like something more suitable to killing annoying teenagers: common sense. Since they never use it, it'll make their heads explode! Okay, really, I'll stick with the machete.
In a remake of Halloween, you are one of the victims – describe the scene and your grisly death.
It begins with me in my living room sorting Halloween candy into two bowls. One bowl to hand out to the kids, and the second bowl with the good stuff for me. I see a shadowed figure in my yard, but when I look out the door, no one is there. I lock the front door behind me because I'm all about staying safe and return to the candy sorting. I catch a glimpse of something out of the corner of my eye, and I dodge a blade that had been aimed for my head. My scream startles me, but doesn't phase the masked killer. I run for the door, but he's faster. And dammit, I locked it! He catches my arm with his knife and blood splatters the wall. With a karate kick to his groin, I race to the kitchen. The floor had been recently waxed and I'm wearing socks. The pathetic flailing about as I slip and slide before crashing against the refrigerator is as horrific as the disemboweling I receive next.
In a remake of the 1974 movie Young Frankenstein – which character would you play and why.
I'd like to play Elizabeth and be ravished by the Monster with his gigantic Schwanstuker, I'm more suited to Frau Blucher. Ah, to have people and animals fear me so!
In the Walking Dead, you and another character have survived the zombies, so far. You're on the move, but the individual with you is a wimpy scaredy cat, but oh so hot, still they keep drawing attention to you and your position and it's almost certain they will get you killed. What do you do - leave them for the zombies and save yourself? Or take pity on them, because their hotness makes up for their stupidity, and teach them not to be a wimp? Or do you have another solution.
In a world where the majority of people are dead, you've got to preserve hotness. I would train the gorgeous guy and toughen him up. I do so like playing teacher.
You're headed to a Masquerade party as your favorite horror character and at midnight, you are transformed into your character until sunrise. Who is this character and how many victims would you claim by sunrise?
I would be the Alien Queen. As for how many victims I claim, I didn't realize that aliens cared to keep count. Though I know there will be many more in November when my babies start bursting out of people's bellies. Let's just hope no one dressed as a Predator for Halloween.
Share with us your scariest ghost story – or nightmare – or tell us what scares you the most and why.
I dream about monsters a lot, but I never consider them nightmares. They don't scare me. I fight them and use them as fodder for stories. What frightens me the most is the thought of something happening to my son. There is nothing more all-consuming than a parent's fear for their child.
