  Speaker 3: you know, it's just so magical. They do a Thursday, Friday, Saturday,
• 2:49
  Speaker 3: and Sunday, so they have a bunch of days. So
• 2:51
  Speaker 3: we were there. I was there on Friday, and Saturday night,
• 2:54
  Speaker 3: and the turnout was amazing. They showed Part one and
• 2:58
  Speaker 3: then they showed My Bloody Valentine and Humongous another one,
• 3:03
  Speaker 3: so they have it was different ones.
• 3:04
  Speaker 5: The first time I was there, it was all.
• 3:06
  Speaker 3: Friday the thirteenth, all weekend long, so that was different.
• 3:10
  Speaker 5: And this was great.
• 3:11
  Speaker 3: I mean they had cos players for both Friday and
• 3:15
  Speaker 3: for My Bloody Valentine. The director of My Bloody Valentine,
• 3:19
  Speaker 3: George was there, and there were a lot of people
• 3:21
  Speaker 3: who had been to the Blairstown Diner for Jason's birthday.
• 3:24
  Speaker 3: They came a couple of guys from Colorado, Wisconsin. We
• 3:29
  Speaker 3: had a family that drove all the way from Wisconsin
• 3:32
  Speaker 3: and it was just it was just a great time.
• 3:34
  Speaker 5: Lots of dogs dressed up as Jason Bardi's.
• 3:38
  Speaker 3: It was hysterical and it was a great turnout. I
• 3:42
  Speaker 3: was surprised because it was, you know, it's Labor Day
• 3:44
  Speaker 3: weekend that Camp Blood happened, and everybody who runs it
• 3:49
  Speaker 3: is fantastic. Mozzarellistics so good.
• 3:53
  Speaker 4: They always do such good like themed like food there always.
• 3:58
  Speaker 3: It was amazing and also last night was my last
• 4:02
  Speaker 3: night there. I only went to nights like I said,
• 4:04
  Speaker 3: and before I head home, they you know they have
• 4:07
  Speaker 3: they play games too, you know, they have like Tuggle
• 4:09
  Speaker 3: War and whatnot. Well, last night they had a screaming
• 4:12
  Speaker 3: contest and they were going to crown the scream queen.
• 4:15
  Speaker 3: So because I was there, they're like, hey, Lauren, you know,
• 4:18
  Speaker 3: what do you want to do the crowning? And you know,
• 4:20
  Speaker 3: they're so cute because they always ask very sheepishly, like
• 4:24
  Speaker 3: I'm not going to do it. It's like, well, yeah,
• 4:25
  Speaker 3: what I'm here to do? So I did a nice
• 4:27
  Speaker 3: scream for them, and I was a little bit hoarse
• 4:29
  Speaker 3: because I'm a little under the weather. So my desert
• 4:32
  Speaker 3: bowl was not as good as the winner. So I
• 4:34
  Speaker 3: bequeathed the crown and crowned her, and then I proceeded
• 4:37
  Speaker 3: to try to take it away from her. So we
• 4:39
  Speaker 3: had this whole bit that we did and that was
• 4:42
  Speaker 3: kind of funny. Yeah, they give prizes, you know, T shirts,
• 4:45
  Speaker 3: weekend passes to future events. It's just a great venue
• 4:49
  Speaker 3: and the owners and everybody, their entire staff is they're
• 4:54
  Speaker 3: just great. And seeing George, who directed My Bloody Valentine,
• 4:58
  Speaker 3: is the first time we met, and what a gentleman,
• 5:01
  Speaker 3: you know, those Canadians, They're amazing.
• 5:03
  Speaker 4: Yeah, meeting George Mahaka would have been so cool. Like
• 5:06
  Speaker 4: we we covered my buddy Valentine very early on in
• 5:10
  Speaker 4: this podcast, like before even Steve was officially part of
• 5:14
  Speaker 4: the podcast. We covered that movie. That's when we hold
• 5:16
  Speaker 4: very very close to the heart.
• 5:18
  Speaker 5: Oh, I'll have to hook you guys up. We exchanged numbers.
• 5:21
  Speaker 3: Oh yeah, maybe I can hook.
• 5:23
  Speaker 5: You guys up.
• 5:24
  Speaker 7: Incredible. Oh yeah, So I just obviously I wanted to
• 5:33
  Speaker 7: kick this off, and I feel like the timing couldn't
• 5:35
  Speaker 7: be better. You're coming hot off the heels of Camp Blood,
• 5:39
  Speaker 7: and I wanted to ask you, how did you land
• 5:41
  Speaker 7: the role of Vicky? Initially four Friday the thirteenth, Part two.
• 5:45
  Speaker 3: Well, you know, it was crazy because you know, I'm
• 5:47
  Speaker 3: from New York, you know, born and raised in New York,
• 5:50
  Speaker 3: and a lot of us were in the area. You know,
• 5:53
  Speaker 3: you auditioned for you know, commercials, you do commercials.
• 5:55
  Speaker 5: I've been doing all the Burger King commercials for a
• 5:58
  Speaker 5: few years.
• 5:58
  Speaker 3: So, you know, my husband likes to tell the story
• 6:01
  Speaker 3: that when he used to audition for commercials, he would
• 6:03
  Speaker 3: look at the storyboard and the girl that they would draw.
• 6:07
  Speaker 5: You know for the characters.
• 6:09
  Speaker 3: He said.
• 6:09
  Speaker 5: He used to say, it looks just like you.
• 6:11
  Speaker 3: So I had this reputation of being like all American,
• 6:16
  Speaker 3: clean cut, friendly type of thing, a little on the
• 6:19
  Speaker 3: dorky side and whatnot.
• 6:20
  Speaker 5: And when it came the.
• 6:21
  Speaker 3: Role of Vicky came up, they were looking for that type,
• 6:24
  Speaker 3: you know, all American sweetheart, you know, slightly short of
• 6:29
  Speaker 3: awkward and dorky. And the casting director was like, oh, yeah,
• 6:32
  Speaker 3: we know this girl. So I got the call to
• 6:36
  Speaker 3: audition for it.
• 6:37
  Speaker 5: I didn't I don't remember.
• 6:38
  Speaker 3: I don't think I had to scream because I think
• 6:41
  Speaker 3: they figured, well, she's from New York, she must have
• 6:43
  Speaker 3: to scream.
• 6:43
  Speaker 5: Running from people all the time.
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 6:46
  Speaker 5: Yeah, So so I got the I got the part.
• 6:49
  Speaker 3: I got cast in the part almost immediately, and uh yeah,
• 6:53
  Speaker 3: it was.
• 6:53
  Speaker 5: It was.
• 6:54
  Speaker 3: It was.
• 6:54
  Speaker 5: It was very cool.
• 6:55
  Speaker 3: And I didn't really know a whole lot about the
• 6:57
  Speaker 3: first one because they created the second one right on
• 7:01
  Speaker 3: the heels of the originals, so we really unless you were.
• 7:05
  Speaker 5: Like a horror fan.
• 7:07
  Speaker 3: And I was so busy at the time between college
• 7:11
  Speaker 3: and you know, my first year of college and still
• 7:15
  Speaker 3: doing TV commercials, I wasn't seeing any movies in any
• 7:17
  Speaker 3: theaters anytime soon, you know time.
• 7:20
  Speaker 4: Yeah, and that's what ohka ahead, Chris Well, I was
• 7:22
  Speaker 4: just going to say, like, Fright Thirteenth Part two to
• 7:24
  Speaker 4: me was always like, first of all, I can't imagine
• 7:26
  Speaker 4: the pressure on Steve Minor to have to follow up,
• 7:29
  Speaker 4: you know, but the sequel to these franchises is always
• 7:33
  Speaker 4: what I think establishes what's going to move forward and
• 7:36
  Speaker 4: what's not going to Yeah, to me, Fridy Thirteenth Part
• 7:40
  Speaker 4: two is much more of a traditional slasher than the
• 7:43
  Speaker 4: first one, but in a good way, like it drove
• 7:45
  Speaker 4: it forward and laid the foundation for the other, you know,
• 7:48
  Speaker 4: twelve to come. What was it like working with Steve Minor?
• 7:53
  Speaker 4: Because I've heard incredible things about him as a director,
• 7:55
  Speaker 4: so I was just curious from your first hand experience.
• 7:57
  Speaker 3: Well, you know, if again, you know, because he had
• 8:00
  Speaker 3: been protege on the first one. You know, it was
• 8:04
  Speaker 3: his big directing thing to do, and for most of
• 8:08
  Speaker 3: us it was our first movie give you know, aside
• 8:12
  Speaker 3: from maybe tidbits here and tidbits there, it's like our
• 8:15
  Speaker 3: first big role where you know, your character has a name,
• 8:19
  Speaker 3: you know, and.
• 8:19
  Speaker 5: Something to do.
• 8:21
  Speaker 3: So we were all kind of in the same a
• 8:24
  Speaker 3: little bit on the green side both, you know. So
• 8:27
  Speaker 3: I don't want to say we were tips hoeing around
• 8:29
  Speaker 3: each other, but because it was so new, nobody wanted
• 8:33
  Speaker 3: to disappoint the other person. Yes, so Steve ran a
• 8:37
  Speaker 3: very tight ship, a very friendly ship, but a very
• 8:40
  Speaker 3: tight ship. You know. We had a budget, he had
• 8:43
  Speaker 3: a deadline, and we all had to adhere by you know,
• 8:46
  Speaker 3: the budget and of course his daily schedule of deadline.
• 8:50
  Speaker 3: So it's like you came in that you know, that day.
• 8:53
  Speaker 3: We all slept at the camp. You know, there was
• 8:55
  Speaker 3: none of this going to a hotel and being late
• 8:58
  Speaker 3: coming back on set or going home and waking up late.
• 9:00
  Speaker 3: It's like if you don't wake up, they're at your
• 9:02
  Speaker 3: cabin going get up.
• 9:03
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 9:04
  Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, because we.
• 9:05
  Speaker 3: Would mostly at night, so a lot of people would
• 9:08
  Speaker 3: rest during the day.
• 9:10
  Speaker 7: Yeah, well that's what I was going to ask. What
• 9:12
  Speaker 7: was the atmosphere like on Seid? Did you guys like
• 9:15
  Speaker 7: maybe in hindsight, it's kind of hard to uh, you know,
• 9:18
  Speaker 7: really think about it at the time, but did you
• 9:20
  Speaker 7: guys feel like you were making something iconic or did
• 9:22
  Speaker 7: it feel like it was just another slasher? Potentially it
• 9:25
  Speaker 7: just you know it.
• 9:28
  Speaker 5: I don't know, it just felt like another job in
• 9:33
  Speaker 5: a way.
• 9:34
  Speaker 3: You know, they were starting to do a lot of
• 9:37
  Speaker 3: horror movies, so you know, you were auditioning for different ones,
• 9:41
  Speaker 3: you know, and it's like first come, first served with
• 9:43
  Speaker 3: all of us because the pool was much smaller back then,
• 9:46
  Speaker 3: which is why you see a lot of people you know,
• 9:49
  Speaker 3: hopping around in doing cameos in this movie or get
• 9:53
  Speaker 3: you know, guests in that movie. You know.
• 9:57
  Speaker 5: So it wasn't like we knew that it was going
• 10:00
  Speaker 5: to be a thing.
• 10:02
  Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, for us, it was like, oh, we're
• 10:04
  Speaker 3: doing a sequel to the first one.
• 10:07
  Speaker 5: Oh, that's kind of neat.
• 10:08
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 10:08
  Speaker 5: We didn't think there was going to.
• 10:10
  Speaker 3: Be a three, and then a four, and the five
• 10:11
  Speaker 3: and at ten in outer Space in Manhattan, Freddy versus
• 10:15
  Speaker 3: Jason and then you know, the guy who makes believe
• 10:19
  Speaker 3: he's Jason.
• 10:19
  Speaker 5: It's like, we had no idea that was going to happen.
• 10:21
  Speaker 3: We just thought, all right, well, at the end, you know,
• 10:24
  Speaker 3: she kills them or something happens to him, and that's it.
• 10:26
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 10:27
  Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah. I remember hearing a lot of a lot
• 10:30
  Speaker 4: of especially from the early Fria thirteenth a lot of
• 10:33
  Speaker 4: actors saying that agents were kind of trying to dissuade
• 10:36
  Speaker 4: them from doing these type of horror movies just because
• 10:39
  Speaker 4: of the stigma at the time of what the genre was,
• 10:41
  Speaker 4: not knowing that there was an explosion right around the corner,
• 10:45
  Speaker 4: you know what I mean of them? Did that happen
• 10:46
  Speaker 4: at all? Like was your agent? Like really or like
• 10:49
  Speaker 4: I don't even know if you had an agent?
• 10:50
  Speaker 3: Oh yeah I did, Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, not with mine.
• 10:53
  Speaker 3: I know, was Amy Steele that happened? Probably she was
• 10:56
  Speaker 3: the final girl because Sti'll forget I did that. And
• 10:59
  Speaker 3: then I'm doing Girls Night Out, Yes, you know, bigger
• 11:03
  Speaker 3: role and you know, a different movie, more more fun
• 11:07
  Speaker 3: in a way, because you know, let's face it, you're
• 11:08
  Speaker 3: playing a cheerleader.
• 11:09
  Speaker 5: That's lots of fun and corona, you know, and so cheerleader.
• 11:14
  Speaker 3: No matter what. And so it wasn't that. And also
• 11:20
  Speaker 3: my agents and I we had a track that I
• 11:24
  Speaker 3: was on. I had already been auditioning for a lot
• 11:26
  Speaker 3: of daytime dramas, which is really what I wanted to
• 11:29
  Speaker 3: do because I grew up with my grandmother watching her stories,
• 11:32
  Speaker 3: you know, and I thought, well that when I realized
• 11:35
  Speaker 3: that that was the direction I was going to go
• 11:37
  Speaker 3: for my career is to go into acting.
• 11:39
  Speaker 5: I thought, well, I want to be on one of
• 11:41
  Speaker 5: my grandmother's stories. So it was like movie movie I
• 11:44
  Speaker 5: want to go. I want to be on TV, you.
• 11:46
  Speaker 3: Know, and so that was our that was our focus.
• 11:50
  Speaker 3: It was like, yeah, you know, we'll do this movie
• 11:52
  Speaker 3: or you know, you'll do that movie, and you'll do
• 11:54
  Speaker 3: you'll dub.
• 11:54
  Speaker 5: In some screams for other movies.
• 11:56
  Speaker 3: But you know, the focus was always like I had
• 11:59
  Speaker 3: already been being tested for several different soap operas, and
• 12:02
  Speaker 3: it was like I was on their radar. Is just
• 12:04
  Speaker 3: a matter of getting on one, and then eventually I did,
• 12:08
  Speaker 3: and then I was on it for twelve thirteen years
• 12:11
  Speaker 3: after that and didn't do anything except that and TV commercials.
• 12:15
  Speaker 3: So yeah, so it wasn't a concern for us because
• 12:20
  Speaker 3: we knew what my goal was and we kept our
• 12:22
  Speaker 3: eyes on what my goal was to do as a
• 12:25
  Speaker 3: young actress.
• 12:26
  Speaker 4: Soaps are crazy, how many like I think. I was
• 12:29
  Speaker 4: talking to my wife the other day about is it
• 12:31
  Speaker 4: general I was one of them, and she's like, yeah,
• 12:33
  Speaker 4: they're on like season forty.
• 12:35
  Speaker 3: Yeah, days of our Lives.
• 12:36
  Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, that's what it is.
• 12:38
  Speaker 3: Yeah, because one of my dearest friends, Julie Dove, she
• 12:42
  Speaker 3: just played Connie, who is like the comedic psycho who
• 12:46
  Speaker 3: winds up killing a bunch of main characters too, and
• 12:49
  Speaker 3: she just did a really nice run a lot, like
• 12:53
  Speaker 3: thirty some odd episodes on it. And so yeah, I
• 12:57
  Speaker 3: saw her when I was out in La doing the
• 13:00
  Speaker 3: Lake Nightmares and that was kind of fun, you know.
• 13:02
  Speaker 5: Yeah, it's like I'm a victim and she was a murderer.
• 13:05
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 13:09
  Speaker 7: Now the film was shot in Connecticut. What was the
• 13:11
  Speaker 7: fib like filming at that camp during that time period?
• 13:15
  Speaker 3: Oh, it was so kooky because you know, like we
• 13:17
  Speaker 3: said earlier, you know, I was a New York City girl.
• 13:21
  Speaker 3: So to me, quiet is like, you know, maybe instead
• 13:25
  Speaker 3: of five police cars going by, maybe.
• 13:28
  Speaker 4: Three, yeah a night, or instead of you.
• 13:30
  Speaker 3: Know, fire trucks, maybe just an ambulance or too, you know,
• 13:34
  Speaker 3: instead of multiple gangs fighting, maybe only a couple.
• 13:38
  Speaker 5: You know. So it's like I was so used to noise,
• 13:41
  Speaker 5: and even when.
• 13:42
  Speaker 3: You're sleeping, it's like it's such a It's like you
• 13:45
  Speaker 3: know how people have those little sound machines to help
• 13:47
  Speaker 3: them sleep. Oh yeah, it's like okay, Oh there's an ambulances,
• 13:53
  Speaker 3: pop cars going by again.
• 13:55
  Speaker 6: So get.
• 13:58
  Speaker 3: It's like, thank you for helping me sleep. So, you know,
• 14:00
  Speaker 3: we get up to Kent and everybody else. You know,
• 14:02
  Speaker 3: some of them had, you know, posh lives, you know,
• 14:05
  Speaker 3: as children, you know, some of them grew up in
• 14:08
  Speaker 3: the suburbs. And then there was me, this girl who
• 14:11
  Speaker 3: had never ever slept anywhere but in New York City,
• 14:17
  Speaker 3: you know, maybe a couple hotel rooms, traveling like to
• 14:20
  Speaker 3: Puerto Rico. But even Puerto Rico was kind of loud,
• 14:23
  Speaker 3: you know, in hotels. And so we get there and
• 14:28
  Speaker 3: we didn't stay in a hotel. We're in the cabins.
• 14:32
  Speaker 3: And I can't tell you how frightened I was. It
• 14:36
  Speaker 3: was so dark and it was so quiet, and it
• 14:39
  Speaker 3: was it was such an immersive experience, you know, to
• 14:43
  Speaker 3: actually live at the camp.
• 14:47
  Speaker 5: But I couldn't expose, as Vicky.
• 14:52
  Speaker 3: My fear of being there, my fear of walking in
• 14:55
  Speaker 3: the dark. It's like Vicky's got to confidently walk around
• 14:58
  Speaker 3: in the dark and you know, stick her butt up
• 15:00
  Speaker 3: in the air while digging around her. I would never
• 15:03
  Speaker 3: have done that.
• 15:03
  Speaker 4: I've been like this.
• 15:04
  Speaker 5: Behind me, you know.
• 15:06
  Speaker 3: And so it was it was very different to have
• 15:09
  Speaker 3: that deep fear in me walking around in the dark,
• 15:11
  Speaker 3: even though I know there are camera people right there
• 15:13
  Speaker 3: and the sound guys right there.
• 15:14
  Speaker 5: I'm still like, I'm gonna get killed by a bear,
• 15:17
  Speaker 5: right Oh yeah.
• 15:18
  Speaker 7: And that's the thing. So, like you guys were doing
• 15:20
  Speaker 7: night shoots and obviously in the outdoor setting. So was
• 15:23
  Speaker 7: that as intense as it looked on screen?
• 15:26
  Speaker 3: In a way it wasn't for me.
• 15:28
  Speaker 5: It was because I was so afraid of the dark.
• 15:30
  Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, I mean every five feet is as black.
• 15:34
  Speaker 4: There's no you can't see anything.
• 15:36
  Speaker 3: Nothing, no lights, know nothing. I mean they gave us
• 15:38
  Speaker 3: a flashlight to go back to our cabins. But you know,
• 15:42
  Speaker 3: because now you when you're on set, there are just
• 15:45
  Speaker 3: so many production people.
• 15:47
  Speaker 5: It's shocking how many people are involved.
• 15:49
  Speaker 3: But back then, it's like, Okay, you've got the makeup
• 15:52
  Speaker 3: artists and you've got the costume, you got the few
• 15:55
  Speaker 3: camera guys, a few grips of cup, a prop guy,
• 15:58
  Speaker 3: the director, the ad cinematographer, and that's it.
• 16:02
  Speaker 5: So there are not a lot of people around.
• 16:04
  Speaker 3: So even you know, walking into the cabin and shaking
• 16:08
  Speaker 3: off a little bit of rain and walking up the
• 16:11
  Speaker 3: steps it's still creepy because it's not like you've got
• 16:16
  Speaker 3: tons of people around you.
• 16:18
  Speaker 5: You got the couple of the guys that they've.
• 16:20
  Speaker 3: Done their lighting, so they're kind of like this, you know,
• 16:23
  Speaker 3: hanging out waiting to be called on. Yeah, you know,
• 16:26
  Speaker 3: you got Steve Minor, you know like that. You know,
• 16:33
  Speaker 3: you know, you got the people in the bed and
• 16:36
  Speaker 3: it's creepy and it's quiet. So there is a creep
• 16:39
  Speaker 3: factor to the creaking staircase.
• 16:41
  Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, can I add what so frid third part two?
• 16:45
  Speaker 4: For me, Vicky's death always stood out the most because
• 16:49
  Speaker 4: there is such an emotional like I'm going to say
• 16:53
  Speaker 4: depth for lack of better word to it, that the
• 16:55
  Speaker 4: first movie never touched. You know. I do think future
• 16:58
  Speaker 4: movies kind of did a good job at like establishing
• 17:02
  Speaker 4: a good enough character that you actually care about when
• 17:04
  Speaker 4: they die. But your character. First of all, I love
• 17:10
  Speaker 4: the the the relationship between you and Mark. Yes, yes,
• 17:16
  Speaker 4: that is incredible. Always my favorite dynamic, especially when you
• 17:19
  Speaker 4: guys are playing the games and you know, like we're
• 17:23
  Speaker 4: rooting for Mark, you know what I mean, And when
• 17:28
  Speaker 4: you come back to the cabin obviously Mark, who has,
• 17:31
  Speaker 4: by the way, the most savage death in the whole
• 17:33
  Speaker 4: entire They did not have to linger on him going
• 17:38
  Speaker 4: down those stairs for that.
• 17:40
  Speaker 5: You know, I feel the same.
• 17:41
  Speaker 3: It's like, all right, he gets the misch shedding in
• 17:43
  Speaker 3: the head and then he's kind of go down the stairs.
• 17:45
  Speaker 5: And it's brutal, it's overkill of kill.
• 17:49
  Speaker 4: And he's so sweet, like he's such a such a
• 17:52
  Speaker 4: kind character. Yeah, but when you get back to you know,
• 17:57
  Speaker 4: the cabin and clearly Mark's not there trying to find them,
• 18:01
  Speaker 4: so you go up the stairs. I'm sure there had
• 18:04
  Speaker 4: to be a little bit of because Jason's hiding under
• 18:07
  Speaker 4: the sheet. Were you I don't maybe this is a
• 18:12
  Speaker 4: dumb question. You've obviously like went through and practiced that
• 18:16
  Speaker 4: and they blocked it and everything, so you knew Jason
• 18:18
  Speaker 4: was there. But was there a little bit of like
• 18:19
  Speaker 4: true fear when he comes out of that sheet and
• 18:22
  Speaker 4: he's coming at you with a knife. I mean, I
• 18:23
  Speaker 4: feel like i'd be a little bit you know.
• 18:25
  Speaker 3: You know, it's so funny because you know Jerry Wallace,
• 18:30
  Speaker 3: who was the Jason that killed me, and he was
• 18:33
  Speaker 3: a key grip you know, on the movie, and you
• 18:37
  Speaker 3: know we had been goofing around for weeks leading up
• 18:40
  Speaker 3: to that, you know, but he does. He does put
• 18:42
  Speaker 3: this sack on. They do the effect with the lighting
• 18:45
  Speaker 3: for the sun, for the lightning, and the sound of
• 18:48
  Speaker 3: the thunder. I don't know. I was just you know,
• 18:51
  Speaker 3: I was a young actress and I thought, well, this
• 18:53
  Speaker 3: is kind of cool.
• 18:54
  Speaker 5: And I just wanted to scream my head off and
• 18:57
  Speaker 5: I just enjoyed doing it.
• 18:59
  Speaker 3: I thought it was his I mean, you know, you
• 19:01
  Speaker 3: grow up with a big brother. My brother is only
• 19:03
  Speaker 3: a year older than I am, but he was your
• 19:05
  Speaker 3: typical big brother, you know, beat up on me. Not
• 19:08
  Speaker 3: not not in a mean way, just in a general way,
• 19:10
  Speaker 3: chasing me, playing tag. So I grew up screaming anyway.
• 19:14
  Speaker 7: He was like, yeah, little did you know what it
• 19:17
  Speaker 7: would lead to? Right?
• 19:19
  Speaker 3: Well, Also, I grew up across the street from the cemetery,
• 19:23
  Speaker 3: so you got a factor in. There was a lot
• 19:25
  Speaker 3: of hygienks going on when I was a kid, So
• 19:27
  Speaker 3: the whole scream factory thing for my brain was already
• 19:31
  Speaker 3: in the rolodex. So when it was like, you know,
• 19:34
  Speaker 3: in the script is like en Vicky screams, I'm.
• 19:37
  Speaker 5: Like, okay, no problem.
• 19:39
  Speaker 3: Yeah, So it was very easy.
• 19:41
  Speaker 5: It was very easy to scream.
• 19:43
  Speaker 7: Yeah, No, that was fun. I was gonna say, so,
• 19:49
  Speaker 7: was there anything that was cut or changed from your
• 19:51
  Speaker 7: death scene that maybe, like you know, fans don't know about.
• 19:55
  Speaker 3: I think it was longer. They lingered on on it longer.
• 20:01
  Speaker 3: I think after I bit into the capsule of blood.
• 20:06
  Speaker 5: When we shot it.
• 20:08
  Speaker 3: And I don't know if it's in the extended version
• 20:10
  Speaker 3: or not, but when we shot it, I kind of
• 20:12
  Speaker 3: slumped back with Bill Randolph hanging out behind me with
• 20:16
  Speaker 3: all the blood on him, the character of Jeff and
• 20:18
  Speaker 3: I slumped back and I slide.
• 20:20
  Speaker 5: You know at a camera.
• 20:22
  Speaker 3: I don't think that's in the extended one. The only
• 20:25
  Speaker 3: thing that was weird about is that because you know,
• 20:28
  Speaker 3: it's old school, so there's no fake blood coming out
• 20:31
  Speaker 3: of my mouth like CGI blood.
• 20:33
  Speaker 5: It was this little blood capsule back then.
• 20:37
  Speaker 3: Now you just oh, I can tell you that about
• 20:40
  Speaker 3: that later about one that I just did just massive
• 20:43
  Speaker 3: amounts of blood everywhere, but it was just this little capsule.
• 20:49
  Speaker 3: And you know, the capsule has geltin on the outside,
• 20:52
  Speaker 3: so it's in the back of my mouth for that
• 20:54
  Speaker 3: entire scene as the camera's coming towards me and Jason's
• 20:58
  Speaker 3: knife is coming towards me, and then Steve would go
• 21:01
  Speaker 3: like this and I would have to bite on the
• 21:02
  Speaker 3: capsule and it was supposed to burst. Well, the gelatin
• 21:06
  Speaker 3: got soft, so he was like cut, he goes, Lauren,
• 21:10
  Speaker 3: bite harder, and I'm like, Steve, I said, I can't
• 21:12
  Speaker 3: bite any harder. I said, gelatin, it's getting soft, you know,
• 21:16
  Speaker 3: from keeping it in my mouth? Is there any way?
• 21:18
  Speaker 3: And he did not want to edit or anything like that.
• 21:21
  Speaker 3: Cut to her biting into the capsule. So we did
• 21:24
  Speaker 3: that over and over again. I'm surprised I didn't get
• 21:26
  Speaker 3: horse from the screaming. But I was young, so I
• 21:30
  Speaker 3: knew he was getting upset. And because I was such
• 21:33
  Speaker 3: a young wanting to please actress, the crime that I
• 21:37
  Speaker 3: do is actually part crime because I knew Steve was
• 21:41
  Speaker 3: upset about the black Cats working.
• 21:44
  Speaker 5: Yeah, it was a.
• 21:45
  Speaker 3: Mixture of really crying in character because I was so
• 21:48
  Speaker 3: into it and it was kind of cool, and the
• 21:50
  Speaker 3: other part was like, oh and he's mad at me.
• 21:53
  Speaker 8: Yeah, right right, No, it's the leg cut for me,
• 21:58
  Speaker 8: that's the most like, uh, Steeve, who do we talk
• 22:02
  Speaker 8: to when we talked about we talked about on the
• 22:04
  Speaker 8: show before, how like you know, somebody get their head
• 22:07
  Speaker 8: cut off, We're not bothered by it.
• 22:08
  Speaker 4: They get ripped in half, you're not bothered by it.
• 22:10
  Speaker 4: But like somebody gets like a fingernail pulled off, and
• 22:12
  Speaker 4: you can relate to it.
• 22:13
  Speaker 7: Yeah, yeah, I remember, Yeah, I remember us having that
• 22:16
  Speaker 7: conversation not that long ago.
• 22:18
  Speaker 4: Yeah, it was the leg. It's when when Jason cuts
• 22:20
  Speaker 4: your leg is the one that gets me. I'm like, oh,
• 22:23
  Speaker 4: I'm like, God, that would hurt so bad.
• 22:25
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 22:26
  Speaker 3: Yeah, Well, you know, it's so funny because I canna
• 22:30
  Speaker 3: tell you guys, I'm I have my Karen conceal a license,
• 22:32
  Speaker 3: and so you have to take X amount of hours
• 22:35
  Speaker 3: of you know, in classroom stuff. And then of course
• 22:38
  Speaker 3: there's you know, I opted for the outdoor shooting range,
• 22:41
  Speaker 3: you know where you have to like you're in the
• 22:42
  Speaker 3: woods and you're like this and you still have to
• 22:44
  Speaker 3: get X.
• 22:44
  Speaker 5: Amount of rounds on target.
• 22:47
  Speaker 3: And one of the things that they said, and we
• 22:49
  Speaker 3: all laughed because we were talking about the movie and
• 22:52
  Speaker 3: the class too, he's like, you know, you know, you
• 22:54
  Speaker 3: got it's like Indiana Jones, you got the guy with
• 22:56
  Speaker 3: knives and knives and knives, knife is gonna hurt. It's
• 22:59
  Speaker 3: gonna hurt. You gotta protect yourself. And it's like and
• 23:02
  Speaker 3: Harrison Ford just pulls out his gun. He's just like,
• 23:05
  Speaker 3: oh no, if Vicky had yeah Raiders, only Vicky had
• 23:09
  Speaker 3: had just gone, that's this pain from the knife.
• 23:13
  Speaker 5: Yeah, busted the sackhead and that would.
• 23:16
  Speaker 3: Be the end of the franchise there. But you know,
• 23:22
  Speaker 3: a knife cut, It's true. You think you get a
• 23:24
  Speaker 3: paper cut and you're going.
• 23:25
  Speaker 4: Ow yep, it hurts so bad.
• 23:29
  Speaker 5: Yeah, you know, a cat scratch.
• 23:34
  Speaker 4: We just got our first cat only a couple of
• 23:36
  Speaker 4: years ago, and I actually have scars on my hand
• 23:39
  Speaker 4: from an accident that happen between us. And that's like,
• 23:43
  Speaker 4: that's worse than anything I think I've ever experienced in
• 23:45
  Speaker 4: my life.
• 23:45
  Speaker 3: Just it's brutal.
• 23:46
  Speaker 5: It is, it's brutal.
• 23:49
  Speaker 7: Well, I know you were talking about obviously you know
• 23:51
  Speaker 7: that key scene with Jason, So obviously at that point,
• 23:54
  Speaker 7: Jason Orhees wasn't the horror icon that he is today.
• 23:58
  Speaker 7: What was your impression at the time, like filming with
• 24:01
  Speaker 7: him or seeing you know him on set, Like, what
• 24:03
  Speaker 7: was that like?
• 24:04
  Speaker 3: You know what, it was really creepy because you know
• 24:07
  Speaker 3: you always joke around. I mean again, bring up my brother. Hey,
• 24:10
  Speaker 3: you're so ugly, and you know you're just I mean
• 24:15
  Speaker 3: I went back at him too, don't get me wrong,
• 24:17
  Speaker 3: but he was a i think fourth or fifth degree
• 24:19
  Speaker 3: black belt at an earlier age, so I was like, wow,
• 24:21
  Speaker 3: messing with him? Okay, yeah, he's cool. My brother's like
• 24:25
  Speaker 3: super cool. It's like Bruce Lee America.
• 24:28
  Speaker 7: You know, I'm not trying to mess with him, So
• 24:31
  Speaker 7: forget cobrat kaid.
• 24:32
  Speaker 5: Is it right anyway?
• 24:36
  Speaker 3: You know it's it's you know, you think you read
• 24:40
  Speaker 3: it the sack over his head and you think, Okay,
• 24:42
  Speaker 3: how are they going to do that? And is that
• 24:44
  Speaker 3: going to be scary? What's scary is the cutout of
• 24:48
  Speaker 3: the eye?
• 24:49
  Speaker 4: Oh yeah, because you know it's.
• 24:51
  Speaker 5: Like you got the mask. I mean, I've got a
• 24:53
  Speaker 5: bunch of.
• 24:53
  Speaker 3: Different masks and whatnot that I've collected from vendors over
• 24:58
  Speaker 3: the past years and have gotten as gift. You know,
• 25:00
  Speaker 3: you got the mask, but you see the eyes and whatnot.
• 25:03
  Speaker 3: You know, it's like a mask, but here you don't
• 25:05
  Speaker 3: see anything. There's nothing that you see. You don't see
• 25:09
  Speaker 3: any neck, you don't see anything except that one eye.
• 25:15
  Speaker 3: And you can tell that the eye is slightly warped,
• 25:19
  Speaker 3: you know, like somebody in Hollywood who hasn't had their
• 25:21
  Speaker 3: eyes done yet. You know, it's like, you know, and
• 25:25
  Speaker 3: that's creepy because that's all you see.
• 25:30
  Speaker 5: Recovered.
• 25:32
  Speaker 4: Yeah, sack head Jason is my favorite Jason.
• 25:34
  Speaker 5: I've always loved sackhead Jason.
• 25:35
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 25:36
  Speaker 4: Yeah, always like he is. So there's it's it's something
• 25:39
  Speaker 4: so like it's simple. It's such a simple idea but
• 25:44
  Speaker 4: it works so and of course, I mean he's got
• 25:46
  Speaker 4: the big lumbering frame and yes.
• 25:48
  Speaker 5: No, they're always tall, yeah, yeah.
• 25:51
  Speaker 4: Yeah, they always tall, big guys. So like anyway, I'm
• 25:53
  Speaker 4: intimidated by size. But then you just have that very
• 25:56
  Speaker 4: simple sack on in it just completely Like when he
• 26:00
  Speaker 4: gets the mask in part three, it's so iconic, but
• 26:04
  Speaker 4: it kind of like to me as a kid watching them,
• 26:07
  Speaker 4: it kind of made him less scary. Like I was like, oh, okay,
• 26:11
  Speaker 4: now he's got a mask.
• 26:12
  Speaker 5: Yeah exactly, Now he's got a mask.
• 26:15
  Speaker 3: It's a lot more difficult to go around with a
• 26:17
  Speaker 3: thing with a tie around your neck and there's no
• 26:21
  Speaker 3: holes for you to breathe in. It's just you know,
• 26:24
  Speaker 3: a sack with an eyeball. Yeah.
• 26:28
  Speaker 7: No, when I was a kid, I swear because like
• 26:31
  Speaker 7: we always go back and forth on which Friday the
• 26:33
  Speaker 7: Thirteenth film is our favorite, and I like, will die
• 26:36
  Speaker 7: in this hill that Friday the Thirteenth Part two is
• 26:38
  Speaker 7: my favorite, hands down. So it's just like, you know,
• 26:42
  Speaker 7: it's to be able to like commemorate it in this way.
• 26:45
  Speaker 7: I don't know, it's just it's really special for us.
• 26:47
  Speaker 7: But now I will ask, like, what was your reaction
• 26:51
  Speaker 7: the first time you saw the finished film with an audience.
• 26:53
  Speaker 7: Did you have a chance to experience that?
• 26:55
  Speaker 2: Oh?
• 26:55
  Speaker 3: I was mortify.
• 26:58
  Speaker 5: I was completely mortify. You know, we didn't have any
• 27:01
  Speaker 5: big premiere.
• 27:02
  Speaker 3: You know, now you have, you know, do a fifteen
• 27:04

• 27:20
  Speaker 3: going on.
• 27:21
  Speaker 4: Yeah, and it's just.
• 27:23
  Speaker 3: Oh god, I can't believe I did that. I mean
• 27:26
  Speaker 3: I could feel myself sinking in the chair.
• 27:30
  Speaker 7: Yeah, you know, it's like it.
• 27:32
  Speaker 5: Once upon a time in Hollywood.
• 27:34
  Speaker 3: Margot Robbie, you know when she as she goes as
• 27:36
  Speaker 3: Sharon Tates to see her movie, you.
• 27:38

• 27:59
  Speaker 7: two has a mass of cult following even amongst us.
• 28:02
  Speaker 7: When did you first realize how much love fans had
• 28:05
  Speaker 7: for the franchise? Is there like a comments for you?
• 28:08
  Speaker 3: Well, years ago, my youngest was doing a performing arts
• 28:14
  Speaker 3: thing in the city, and we don't live in the
• 28:16
  Speaker 3: city anymore. We live slightly upstate of the city, and
• 28:19
  Speaker 3: but we would you know, hop hop the train in
• 28:22
  Speaker 3: or the bus in, and you know, go into the
• 28:24
  Speaker 3: city for her to do this program.
• 28:26
  Speaker 5: And I would drop her off.
• 28:27
  Speaker 3: It was at the American Academy of Dramatic Arts, and
• 28:29
  Speaker 3: I would drop her off for her musical theaters thing
• 28:31
  Speaker 3: and her acting classes.
• 28:32
  Speaker 5: And one day I'm there and it's a weekend.
• 28:35
  Speaker 3: My phone rings, you know, and you know early phones,
• 28:38
  Speaker 3: you know, maybe it was a flip phone.
• 28:40
  Speaker 5: I go hey, and he.
• 28:41
  Speaker 3: Goes Lauren, it's Warrington. I'm like, oh my god, Warrington,
• 28:45
  Speaker 3: how'd you get my number? You know, because cell phones
• 28:48
  Speaker 3: were not relatively new, but they are maybe ten years
• 28:50
  Speaker 3: old at that point.
• 28:51
  Speaker 5: You know, I'm nine years old. And I said, how'd
• 28:53
  Speaker 5: you get my number?
• 28:54
  Speaker 3: He goes, I found out who your agent was, and
• 28:56
  Speaker 3: I just called and said, hey, it's Warrington. What's laurener reason?
• 29:01
  Speaker 3: And he said, I said, well, where are you? He goes,
• 29:02
  Speaker 3: I'm in the city. I said, oh, let's have lunch.
• 29:04
  Speaker 3: He goes, well, I'm at the Javit Center. Come on
• 29:06
  Speaker 3: buy And you know, so I went go to the
• 29:09
  Speaker 3: Javit Center or maybe it was the Penn Hotel that year.
• 29:11
  Speaker 3: I remember it was one of those iconic places. And
• 29:14
  Speaker 3: I go in there and I see people kind of
• 29:15
  Speaker 3: looking at me. You know, what the fuck are you
• 29:18
  Speaker 3: looking at that part of my foot? And I'm like,
• 29:20
  Speaker 3: you know, and my thing is, what do I have three.
• 29:22
  Speaker 5: Heads or something?
• 29:23
  Speaker 3: So I'm like, I said, you know, I see people
• 29:25
  Speaker 3: running around the little badges on uh New York Comic
• 29:29
  Speaker 3: Con I think it was, and I said, do you
• 29:30
  Speaker 3: know where Warrenton Juette is?
• 29:32
  Speaker 5: And they're like, yeah, yeah, yeah, he's upstairs and over there,
• 29:34
  Speaker 5: and I'm like, oh okay, and they went.
• 29:36
  Speaker 3: And I went what and they're like nothing, never mind.
• 29:39
  Speaker 3: I'm like okay.
• 29:40
  Speaker 5: So I go over and I go Warrington.
• 29:42
  Speaker 3: He's like Warren, big hub, big hug, big hug, and
• 29:45
  Speaker 3: he's got his photographs out with you know, sackhead and
• 29:48
  Speaker 3: all that. So I'm hanging out behind the table with him.
• 29:50
  Speaker 3: People are looking at me and they're like, you know,
• 29:52
  Speaker 3: oh okay, we get where are your pictures? And I
• 29:55
  Speaker 3: looked at warringtony, so what are they talking about? And
• 29:57
  Speaker 3: he goes, you sign your pictures, you for autographs, people
• 30:01
  Speaker 3: pay for your autograph and I'm like they do and
• 30:03
  Speaker 3: people are like lining up.
• 30:05
  Speaker 5: He goes, didn't you bring any headshots with you?
• 30:07
  Speaker 3: And I said no, I said, I don't know anything
• 30:09
  Speaker 3: about that. Yeah. That's when I realized, oh boy, this
• 30:13
  Speaker 3: is a thing that's incredible.
• 30:15
  Speaker 7: Well it's gotta be a surreal moment. But speaking of surreal,
• 30:19
  Speaker 7: so we are going to touch on in a violent nature.
• 30:22
  Speaker 7: So yeah, I just wanted to see like what drew
• 30:26
  Speaker 7: you into this film, or like how did you initially
• 30:28
  Speaker 7: get involved?
• 30:29
  Speaker 5: It was it was it was crazy.
• 30:32
  Speaker 3: I mean, you know, I had retired basically, you know,
• 30:36
  Speaker 3: from because I was teaching for about ten years in
• 30:39
  Speaker 3: East Harlem, and so I retired from that. And now
• 30:44
  Speaker 3: I know the whole story because I've speaking to someone
• 30:47
  Speaker 3: else about it and they watched the DVD that had
• 30:51
  Speaker 3: all the interviews with the director and whatnot. And then
• 30:54
  Speaker 3: a reviewer, Al somebody sent me a review because the
• 30:57
  Speaker 3: review mentioned me, you know, and I was my brother,
• 30:59
  Speaker 3: of course it was. I wrote, Hey, they mentioned you
• 31:03
  Speaker 3: in a good way in this review. You know, I
• 31:05
  Speaker 3: was like, oh, okay. What it happened is because Chris Nash,
• 31:08
  Speaker 3: the director, was a big fan of Friday thirteens and
• 31:11
  Speaker 3: you know eighties horror, you know, is like every you know,
• 31:14
  Speaker 3: it's just iconic because it was just so real and
• 31:17
  Speaker 3: not special EFFECTSI in the beginning, and he had the
• 31:21
  Speaker 3: idea of having somebody from the franchise in the film,
• 31:26
  Speaker 3: and his first thought was one of the guys. I
• 31:28
  Speaker 3: don't recall which one he was thinking about. But then
• 31:30
  Speaker 3: he decided, well, you know what if I have a
• 31:33
  Speaker 3: man pick up the final girl, it might seem threatening
• 31:36
  Speaker 3: to her. So he started looking at the women in
• 31:39
  Speaker 3: the franchise who he liked, and I just happened to
• 31:43
  Speaker 3: be on that short list, and you know, he asked
• 31:46
  Speaker 3: a few people and then it came across me and
• 31:48
  Speaker 3: he was like, well, we like Lauren too.
• 31:51
  Speaker 5: You know who reps Lauren.
• 31:52
  Speaker 3: He reached out to the person who reps me and
• 31:56
  Speaker 3: she was like, you know, well there's interest.
• 31:58
  Speaker 5: Do you want to do a zoom thing?
• 31:59
  Speaker 2: You know?
• 31:59
  Speaker 3: I was like, yushure. So I got the script in
• 32:02
  Speaker 3: my inbox and I read through it and she goes,
• 32:05
  Speaker 3: it's a long script, but your character comes into the end.
• 32:07
  Speaker 3: I was like, all right, but you know, you read
• 32:08
  Speaker 3: the whole thing because got to know what's going on
• 32:10
  Speaker 3: in this movie. And then I just kept reading and
• 32:12
  Speaker 3: reading and reading. I'm like, wait, man, this part goes
• 32:14
  Speaker 3: on forever, you know. And so we got on. I
• 32:19
  Speaker 3: read a little bit with him, we talked about the
• 32:20
  Speaker 3: character and it was just a perfect match, you know.
• 32:25
  Speaker 3: So a couple of months later, I'm on my way
• 32:27
  Speaker 3: to sue Saint Marie in Canada, and it was great.
• 32:30
  Speaker 3: I mean, I will say I was driving the pickup
• 32:33
  Speaker 3: truck because the first day it was on a flatbed,
• 32:37
  Speaker 3: you know, so that I wouldn't be distracted while delivering
• 32:40
  Speaker 3: all those words and.
• 32:42
  Speaker 5: He came back the next day.
• 32:44
  Speaker 3: He said, we have to scrap the whole first day
• 32:47
  Speaker 3: because it was too much noise. Do you mind driving?
• 32:49
  Speaker 3: And I was like, oh, yeah, sure. And then also
• 32:51
  Speaker 3: he had director's notes for me because I'm from New
• 32:55
  Speaker 3: York and I'm obviously very in your face and animated,
• 32:58
  Speaker 3: and so he's like, woman lives in the woods, speak
• 33:03
  Speaker 3: slow and not it is loudly and easy with the use.
• 33:09
  Speaker 5: Of your hands.
• 33:12
  Speaker 3: I got in a couple of you know, and it
• 33:15
  Speaker 3: was I felt my beastings on the back of his head.
• 33:18
  Speaker 6: You know.
• 33:19
  Speaker 5: I did get to use my hands on that one.
• 33:21
  Speaker 3: But then when we went to the premiere in New
• 33:23
  Speaker 3: York on Governor's Island and I saw it and Rise
• 33:26
  Speaker 3: my Barrets there, you know, and Andy Pavlo but she
• 33:30
  Speaker 3: was there, and you know, so when we're watching it
• 33:33
  Speaker 3: on screen, I hadn't seen myself on the big screen
• 33:35
  Speaker 3: in like forever, so I took my dress. You know
• 33:38
  Speaker 3: that Wards is watching it like this because it's like
• 33:41
  Speaker 3: this is gonna be another Friday Thirteenth part to like,
• 33:44
  Speaker 3: oh God help me.
• 33:47
  Speaker 5: And when I was watching it, I.
• 33:49
  Speaker 3: Was like, now I see why Chris Nash directed the
• 33:53
  Speaker 3: character in that way because I would have stuck out.
• 33:57
  Speaker 3: Hian Bostwick is here from Light Out. But then you know,
• 34:03
  Speaker 3: it was like I realized why he had me pull
• 34:06
  Speaker 3: back that performance so much, because it would have been
• 34:09
  Speaker 3: a complete and other disaster if he'd let me be.
• 34:13
  Speaker 4: Yeah what, So Into Violent Nature is funny because I
• 34:16
  Speaker 4: just showed it to well, I mean, the situation is
• 34:20
  Speaker 4: funny because I showed it to my sister, who's twenty.
• 34:23
  Speaker 4: She's into horror, but she's kind of like taking it.
• 34:26
  Speaker 4: I'm the oldest, she's the youngest of all the siblings,
• 34:29
  Speaker 4: so she comes over every now and then I threw
• 34:31
  Speaker 4: something on and you know, she's like in the whole
• 34:34
  Speaker 4: terrifier phase right now.
• 34:35
  Speaker 5: Oh okay, yeah, yeah, I was like.
• 34:37
  Speaker 4: Let me show you this movie. So I throw it
• 34:38
  Speaker 4: into Violent Nature, and you know, the whole time, I'm like, yeah,
• 34:43
  Speaker 4: she gets through all the crazy kills, she gets through
• 34:45
  Speaker 4: the woodcutter scene, which is my favorite. She gets through
• 34:48
  Speaker 4: the scene, and she got through the yoga scene. Yes,
• 34:50
  Speaker 4: she was fine. But the whole time, you know, like
• 34:53
  Speaker 4: you know that moment when you're watching a movie with
• 34:55
  Speaker 4: people and you know the twists and you start looking
• 34:58
  Speaker 4: at them as like, you know, yeah, that's what I
• 35:01
  Speaker 4: started doing at the end when you show up, because
• 35:04
  Speaker 4: it's such a change of pace, and the entire scene
• 35:09
  Speaker 4: is so unsettling because it comes out of nowhere. You
• 35:13
  Speaker 4: don't know where it's going, and it never leads to anything.
• 35:18
  Speaker 4: It's it's so good.
• 35:21
  Speaker 3: Yes, and it's funny you should say that, because there
• 35:25
  Speaker 3: were a few times where.
• 35:29
  Speaker 5: I, oh, see, you have a barking dog too, So.
• 35:31
  Speaker 4: No, you can hear that.
• 35:32
  Speaker 3: No, I hear it because I know because I listen
• 35:35
  Speaker 3: to things that I do all the time, you know,
• 35:38
  Speaker 3: even meetings that I have, and I'm just like, sorry
• 35:39
  Speaker 3: about the dog walk you know about dog barking in
• 35:41
  Speaker 3: the background. So but that was funny because there were
• 35:44
  Speaker 3: a few times where I looked at her and you know,
• 35:48
  Speaker 3: we have a little walkie talkie in the car and
• 35:51
  Speaker 3: Chris Nash would get on the walking talking goes I
• 35:54
  Speaker 3: can read your mind.
• 35:55
  Speaker 5: I went shit, Okay.
• 35:56
  Speaker 3: So there were a few times because they didn't know
• 35:58
  Speaker 3: where it was going to go down the line. Yeah,
• 36:01
  Speaker 3: with this character, I don't know if she's in the
• 36:02
  Speaker 3: sequel or not, but who knows where she might pop
• 36:05
  Speaker 3: up in the future. So he's like we don't want
• 36:09
  Speaker 3: to know whether she is a good samaritan, whether she is.
• 36:15
  Speaker 5: Bringing her to Johnny.
• 36:17
  Speaker 3: Whether she knows about Johnny and knows what he does
• 36:21
  Speaker 3: and doesn't care.
• 36:23
  Speaker 5: You know.
• 36:24
  Speaker 3: So like when I'm doing the tourniquit, I think he
• 36:27
  Speaker 3: cut this shot out because he had the camera on
• 36:29
  Speaker 3: me and I did look at her and I went
• 36:31
  Speaker 3: like this one I tell it once and I felt
• 36:34
  Speaker 3: my face do it. I felt it the giveaway, and
• 36:37
  Speaker 3: I think that was one where he focused on her face,
• 36:40
  Speaker 3: and you know, you know, because he had multiple cameras
• 36:42
  Speaker 3: going at the same time.
• 36:44
  Speaker 5: So a lot of people say.
• 36:45
  Speaker 3: Including there's a reviewer, what culture, this guy what culture?
• 36:50
  Speaker 3: And he ranked it like the second top ten performance
• 36:53
  Speaker 3: of the year, and he put he he nailed it
• 36:56
  Speaker 3: because he said, we don't know what she's we don't know,
• 36:59
  Speaker 3: you know. The fine line that I had to walk
• 37:02
  Speaker 3: with the character, especially being a loud New Yorker, was
• 37:05
  Speaker 3: one of the hardest things I ever had to do
• 37:08
  Speaker 3: because I couldn't tip my hand in either direction. I
• 37:11
  Speaker 3: couldn't be like, oh, poor you, Oh, maybe take good
• 37:14
  Speaker 3: care of you. But I also couldn't be like, yeah,
• 37:18
  Speaker 3: you'll see.
• 37:20
  Speaker 7: And I remember watching it for the first time because
• 37:23
  Speaker 7: you have like you're coming down off of this high
• 37:26
  Speaker 7: of like violence basically gore and everything. And I just
• 37:29
  Speaker 7: remember getting to that point in the movie where I'm
• 37:33
  Speaker 7: starting to wonder, is this gonna be like some sort
• 37:35
  Speaker 7: of like Pamela of War. He's type like you know,
• 37:38
  Speaker 7: flip of the switch, or like introducing a character like this. Now,
• 37:41
  Speaker 7: did Chris Nash describe the importance of that monologue, like,
• 37:46
  Speaker 7: you know, it's because it's so erie and reflective.
• 37:48
  Speaker 3: Yes, yeah, I mean I think that's pretty much how
• 37:51
  Speaker 3: I got the role too, is because I read it
• 37:55
  Speaker 3: in a certain way, and then I discussed with him
• 38:00
  Speaker 3: who this woman is and why she's nonplussed by bears
• 38:08
  Speaker 3: or coyotes, and the violence in nature and how animals
• 38:12
  Speaker 3: just don't care. You know, nature doesn't care. If it's
• 38:15
  Speaker 3: your day, it's your day. If it's not, it's not
• 38:17
  Speaker 3: you know, tree could fall on your head. You know
• 38:20
  Speaker 3: whose fault is it? Is it the tree's fault, your faulter,
• 38:23
  Speaker 3: God's faulter, the wind?
• 38:24
  Speaker 5: You know.
• 38:25
  Speaker 3: So he really wanted to make sure that, you know,
• 38:28
  Speaker 3: when I told the story, I told it in such
• 38:32
  Speaker 3: a quiet way that it would be unsettling for both
• 38:36
  Speaker 3: her and the audience is like would be like, why
• 38:41
  Speaker 3: is she talking about this in such an every day way?
• 38:46
  Speaker 6: M h.
• 38:47
  Speaker 3: And it was because he wanted my character to be
• 38:50
  Speaker 3: like see it all the time, you ain't any different,
• 38:53
  Speaker 3: girly m hm.
• 38:55
  Speaker 4: And that's what makes that scene, I think so great,
• 38:57
  Speaker 4: because you have you have all of that going on,
• 39:00
  Speaker 4: and then it constantly cuts back to especially when you're
• 39:02
  Speaker 4: putting on the tourniquet when she looked out into the woods,
• 39:05
  Speaker 4: and then you have the POV shot again from the woods,
• 39:08
  Speaker 4: but it's not moving, so you don't. It's like this
• 39:10
  Speaker 4: endless like up and down. It's kind of like a
• 39:12
  Speaker 4: roller coaster doesn't have this big drop, but it just
• 39:15
  Speaker 4: does this and it constantly, Like the first time I
• 39:17
  Speaker 4: saw it, I remember like kind of having like my
• 39:19
  Speaker 4: heart rate would kind of go up and then it
• 39:21
  Speaker 4: would then right back down. Oh and then and then
• 39:24
  Speaker 4: all of a sudden the credits roll and you're like, oh, okay, yeah.
• 39:29
  Speaker 5: It's meant I mean.
• 39:30
  Speaker 3: And that's funny because I'm I remember getting the New
• 39:32
  Speaker 3: York Times in my inbox that morning and it was
• 39:36
  Speaker 3: like they they loved the film.
• 39:38
  Speaker 5: They loved it.
• 39:39
  Speaker 3: And I was like, I mean, I actually one of
• 39:41
  Speaker 3: my friends called my husband before I could tell my husband,
• 39:45
  Speaker 3: he goes.
• 39:47
  Speaker 5: Lauren's movie got reviewed in the New York Times.
• 39:49
  Speaker 3: Because we went and saw an early and early showing
• 39:51
  Speaker 3: of it with friends, well like eight of us went.
• 39:55
  Speaker 3: Lawren's movie got a good review in the New York Times,
• 39:57
  Speaker 3: and John's like, hun, I said, I know, I'm reading
• 39:59
  Speaker 3: it because they like that. They like the fact that
• 40:02
  Speaker 3: it just sort of leaves you and it's like, well,
• 40:06
  Speaker 3: now what do I do? And it makes you afraid
• 40:10
  Speaker 3: to go into the woods because it's like, wait, I
• 40:14
  Speaker 3: just got left and now what.
• 40:18
  Speaker 5: So it's it like it understands that the.
• 40:22
  Speaker 3: Audience is smart, yeah, and the audience can figure out
• 40:27
  Speaker 3: for themselves where what they think might happen, and then
• 40:31
  Speaker 3: you'll see in the sequel what happens.
• 40:34
  Speaker 5: I don't know anything about it, so I know it's
• 40:36
  Speaker 5: in pre pre pre production.
• 40:38
  Speaker 4: Was it kind of self reflective for you to go
• 40:41
  Speaker 4: from Friday Thirteenth, Part two to now a movie that's
• 40:44
  Speaker 4: essentially kind of pulling the genre inside out and showing
• 40:49
  Speaker 4: you a different view, Because I mean, in violent nature,
• 40:52
  Speaker 4: it lends its hand to it's it's a it's a
• 40:54
  Speaker 4: love letter to the slasher genre. And I don't I
• 40:57
  Speaker 4: don't like to say it dissects it, but it definitely
• 41:00
  Speaker 4: kind of, you know, reveals more about it than you
• 41:03
  Speaker 4: would think, you know, watching the the Killer just slowly
• 41:06
  Speaker 4: walk because we think that's what Jason does. In between
• 41:09
  Speaker 4: all of this watching like the beautiful moment when he
• 41:13
  Speaker 4: is playing with the car on the.
• 41:14
  Speaker 2: Key, Love that moment.
• 41:16
  Speaker 4: Yeah, it's it's all these great moments that you when
• 41:19
  Speaker 4: you're watching Friday the thirteenth, you always wonder, what's Jason
• 41:22
  Speaker 4: doing now, like he just killed somebody?
• 41:23
  Speaker 5: What exactly?
• 41:26
  Speaker 3: And you're right, it does it just it takes it
• 41:29
  Speaker 3: and it goes, it fills in the blanks.
• 41:32
  Speaker 4: Yes, yeah, So it must have been fun for you
• 41:35
  Speaker 4: to kind of be on both ends of that. You're
• 41:37
  Speaker 4: on the you know, the inspired or the the where
• 41:40
  Speaker 4: inspiration came from and what inspiration became side. That must
• 41:43
  Speaker 4: have been cool.
• 41:44
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it's definitely an honor to be part of that,
• 41:48
  Speaker 3: you know. And I've worked with several young filmmakers since
• 41:52
  Speaker 3: working with Chris Nash, and you know, again it's like
• 41:55
  Speaker 3: a young Steve Minor, except now that I'm older I
• 41:58
  Speaker 3: have a different perspective when I see, sure the young directors.
• 42:01
  Speaker 3: And I did something recently and I commented, I think
• 42:05
  Speaker 3: it was the producer. I said, he has such command,
• 42:08
  Speaker 3: you know, off off set, it's like yuk yuk yuk
• 42:12
  Speaker 3: who you know, joking around, yuk yuk ye have a
• 42:14
  Speaker 3: beard type of thing. But then once they walk on set,
• 42:17
  Speaker 3: it's like the respect that these young directors have because
• 42:20
  Speaker 3: their vision is so clear cut, you know, and where
• 42:24
  Speaker 3: they want their film to go, and how they want
• 42:27
  Speaker 3: to be perceived as filmmakers, you know, and what their
• 42:32
  Speaker 3: future looks like to the audience and to you know,
• 42:35
  Speaker 3: obviously reviewers, but I'm sure they're not thinking about that,
• 42:39
  Speaker 3: you know. It's just fascinating to see these young filmmakers
• 42:44
  Speaker 3: at their you know, little their roots and to see
• 42:48
  Speaker 3: where they go from there. It's an honor to be
• 42:51
  Speaker 3: a part of the new generation for sure.
• 42:54
  Speaker 4: Well they I think that's you know, before we wrap up,
• 42:57
  Speaker 4: I think that's what's important here is like we do
• 43:00
  Speaker 4: this because of these movies, right, like watching fri Thirteenth
• 43:04
  Speaker 4: Part two, Like if we hadn't it's like if my
• 43:07
  Speaker 4: mom hadn't showed me The Exorcist at six, you know, like,
• 43:10
  Speaker 4: what would this podcast not exist? Like might there not
• 43:14
  Speaker 4: be all of this stuff? Or like, you know, so
• 43:17
  Speaker 4: even even this, you know, we're our podcast is built
• 43:20
  Speaker 4: off of all of the love that we have for
• 43:23
  Speaker 4: this genre and people like yourself, an impact that you
• 43:27
  Speaker 4: and your characters and everyone's had on on our lives.
• 43:32
  Speaker 1: You know.
• 43:32
  Speaker 4: So watching In A Violent Nature it kind of felt
• 43:34
  Speaker 4: to me. I don't know if anybody else felt this way.
• 43:37
  Speaker 4: It felt like a little bit of a gift coming
• 43:39
  Speaker 4: from somebody else like me. It was almost like, Hey,
• 43:43
  Speaker 4: here's something handmade for you with all the love in
• 43:46
  Speaker 4: the world and all the years that we spent watching
• 43:48
  Speaker 4: these movies. And I think that's why I love it
• 43:51
  Speaker 4: so much, because it's kind of like that perfect sum up,
• 43:53
  Speaker 4: you know what I mean? Wow, Yeah, it's it was.
• 43:55
  Speaker 4: It was wonderful.
• 43:56
  Speaker 5: Wow, like a little like a little love letter.
• 44:00
  Speaker 4: Absolutely, Yeah, Steve, any other questions you want to go
• 44:03
  Speaker 4: before we wrap up?
• 44:06
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I'm around if you need.
• 44:07
  Speaker 7: Yeah, I was going to say, I mean, really like
• 44:10
  Speaker 7: the last thing I was going to ask you, were
• 44:11
  Speaker 7: there any moments during the filming of Innviolent Nature that
• 44:14
  Speaker 7: reminded you of your time making Probably the thirteenth.
• 44:17
  Speaker 5: Part two, being in the middle of nowhere?
• 44:19
  Speaker 7: Okay, was it just as creepy?
• 44:23
  Speaker 3: Well, it's funny because they put me up in this
• 44:25
  Speaker 3: beautiful hotel. Yes, right along one of the great legs,
• 44:29
  Speaker 3: you know, and I think I think it's Michigan. Was
• 44:33
  Speaker 3: right across the way there's a Saint Marie in Canada,
• 44:35
  Speaker 3: and I believe it's Michigan. There's a Siue Saint Marie.
• 44:38
  Speaker 3: So it was a very quiet area. And I love
• 44:40
  Speaker 3: going running, you know, wherever I am, I like to
• 44:42
  Speaker 3: do a little run. And so I thought, I'm going
• 44:45
  Speaker 3: to get up and go running early in the morning
• 44:46
  Speaker 3: since my call time is not until eleven.
• 44:48
  Speaker 5: So I get up and you know, there's this.
• 44:51
  Speaker 3: Sanctuary, like an animal sanctuary, a little far about a
• 44:55
  Speaker 3: mile from the hotel. Well, it was deserted, of course,
• 45:00
  Speaker 3: it's deserted. And all I kept thinking was, okay, okay,
• 45:06
  Speaker 3: this is either going to be a horror movie in
• 45:08
  Speaker 3: real life or dateline NBC episode was like she went
• 45:12
  Speaker 3: running in Sue Saint Marie. Yeah, the film a horror movie.
• 45:16
  Speaker 5: The horror came knocking at her.
• 45:21
  Speaker 3: So that that kind of reminded me because I started
• 45:24
  Speaker 3: running when I was filming Friday the thirteenth, R. Two
• 45:28
  Speaker 3: because I had nothing to do during the day, and
• 45:30
  Speaker 3: I was kind of like not I mean, I was
• 45:32
  Speaker 3: played tag and jumped rope, but I wasn't.
• 45:34
  Speaker 5: Like on a team on a team on a team,
• 45:36
  Speaker 5: you know.
• 45:37
  Speaker 3: And so I started running while filming Fria thirteenth, and
• 45:39
  Speaker 3: I thought, how full circle would that be of she
• 45:42
  Speaker 3: started running when she was doing Frida thirteenth, her last run.
• 45:47
  Speaker 4: She was running for her life.
• 45:52
  Speaker 5: So that reminded me.
• 45:53
  Speaker 3: And also just I mean, I know Kent, Connecticut is
• 45:57
  Speaker 3: not in the middle of nowhere, but it felt like
• 46:00
  Speaker 3: I get to my little nineteen year old self and
• 46:04
  Speaker 3: being in Sue Saint Marie in the middle of nowhere
• 46:08
  Speaker 3: in Canada, you know, it felt it felt the same
• 46:12
  Speaker 3: way again, like there is no one for Miles. So man,
• 46:17
  Speaker 3: it was really it lent itself to that creepiness of nature.
• 46:23
  Speaker 5: So that definitely helped.
• 46:25
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I believe it.
• 46:26
  Speaker 7: Well, we can't thank you enough for your time, Laurene.
• 46:30
  Speaker 7: Where can our viewers find you? Social media anything like that?
