Actor Nyasha Hatendi Talks Hulu’s “Into The Dark”, Replicas, And More

I had the opportunity to talk with Nyasha Hatendi, who stars in the third episode of Hulu’s horror anthology series “Into the Dark”, one of my favorite new series. Hatendi is an impressive actor who got his start on stage and appeared in “King Charles III“, which received 6 Tony nominations including Best Play, before appearing in the series “Casual”, films like The Front Runner, and in the films The Good Shephard where he stars opposite Robert De Niro, and the soon to be released movie Replicas with Keanu Reeves. Set to premiere on December 7th, “Into the Dark: Pooka” is a Christmas themed nightmare starring Hatendi as Wilson, a struggling actor who gets a temp job as the Christmas character in a plush suit to promote Pooka, the hottest toy of the year. At first, it’s not a bad gig, but as time goes by Pooka slowly takes over. Horror Fuel: “You got your start in theater. What made

“Eureka’s” Tembi Locke Tells Us About Her Role In Hulu’s New Series “Into The Dark”

I sat down with talented actress Tembi Locke to talk with her about several of her roles such as Grace Monroe on “Eureka”, a series I absolutely adored, about a town of scientists and their inventions that end up causing chaos. We also talked about one of Tambi’s most recent roles in Hulu’s new film series “Into the Dark”. “Into the Dark” is part film and part series. Each month an episode is released as a feature length film that is inspired by that month’s holiday. I should also mention that the series is a Blumhouse production. November’s episode centers on Kimberly, a young woman, played by Diana Silvers, who has severe agoraphobia. With the help of her psychiatrist (Tembi Locke), Kimberly is working towards finding the power to leave her home. When she discovers her father’s (Dermot Mulroney) dark secret she must find a way to escape her phobia and her father’s wrath. Horror Fuel: “I was a huge,

Yoav Paz Talks JeruZalem 2, The Golem, And More In Our Interview

The Paz brothers, known for their supernatural film JeruZalem (review), have a new film on its way titled The Golem. I sat down for a chat with Yoav Paz, one half of the writing and directing duo, to talk about JeruZalem, The Golem and much more. Horror Fuel: “I really enjoyed JeruZalem. It’s a great, unique film. Was it actually filmed in Jerusalem? Yoav Paz: “It was. Some of it was filmed in Nazareth and other old cities. It was just an hour’s drive from where I live in Telavive, driving there is like driving to a different country. We are working on the sequel which will also be filmed there. We are almost done with the script.” Horror Fuel: “That is fantastic news! I can’t wait to see it! Was it hard to arrange to film in those cities?” Yoav Paz: “We kept a low profile with a little crew. We shot a lot in the streets and in

John Catapanpo Speaks Out About His Investigation With Ed And Lorraine Warren

Let’s be honest, everyone has heard the names Ed and Lorraine Warren, two of the most famous paranormal investigators to ever walk the earth. They are also the couple who have been the subject of The Conjuring franchise. But here’s something you may not know, on almost every single case they investigated they had assistants and techs to help them do their job, but we rarely hear from them. Last year I sat down with former journalist, professor, and entertainment engineer John Catapano for an interview, the first time he’s ever spoken out in detail about what he witnessed while investigating a particular house and family while working with the Warrens. While John was a student at William Paterson he had an invitation to assist the Warrens on the investigation, but instead, the couple left him to do much of the investigation on his own while they were busy with another case. While the names of the family and their

It was a real hospital that they had turned into a movie set, exclusively for horror movies. Walking through the hall to get to where we were filming was interesting itself. It would give you a weird feeling. I don’t care for hospitals already, so it was really creepy. I play a nurse in Insidious 3, an ER nurse.
