Today, I spoke with actor-producer Kyle Hester. Hester is a busy man. He has three genre films on the way, ‘The Chair’, Zombie With A Shotgun’ and ‘Preacher Six’, which is currently running an Indiegogo campaign. Horror Fuel: “Tell us about your role as Bowen in The Chair, if you will.” KH: “I saw a post on my friend Ezra Buzzington’s FaceBook page, he plays Tudley. It looked amazing so I sent my reel to Peter. I play one of the guards along with Roddy Piper. I was brought in as an actor, but ended up producing as well. I was asked to produce. I have a lot of connections and Peter kept asking me where to get this and that so I said yes. I told him, “Let’s make your vision happen’. The Chair is in theaters now. You can go to Tugg.com and if enough people ask, they will come to your town.” Horror Fuel: “Can you tell

An Interview With Erik LaRay Harvey Star Of Luke Cage And The Charnel House – Out On VOD This November

Today, I had the pleasure of talking with actor Erik LaRay Harvey. You might recognize him as Luke Cage’s villainous, gun-running half-brother, Willis “Diamondback” Stryker, as Dunn from ‘Broardwalk Empire‘, or from his roles in ‘Rounders‘, ‘Twister‘, and ‘K-Pax‘. Harvey also lent his voice to the character “Bombate” for the 2014 video game ‘Wolfenstein: The New Order‘. I spoke with Harvey about both his past and present projects which includes the thriller ‘The Charnel House‘, set to be released on November 4th. In ‘The Charnel House’ a talented young architect, Alex Reeves, transforms a long-abandoned slaughterhouse into ultra-high-tech lofts, but the building is hiding a dark, deadly secret that has been hidden for the past 30 years. In the film, Harvey plays the role of Devin, a man who has returned back home and moved into the building with the hopes of finding answers about missing father. Harvey stars alongside Callum Blue, Nadine Velazquez, Makenzie Moss, Danielle Lauder, Joe Keery,

An Interview With Tyler Christensen Writer-Director Of House Of Purgatory

Today, I had a conversation with Tyler Christensen. We talked about a lot of things including the state of horror, his new film ‘House of Purgatory‘, and the future of film. Honestly, it was the best conversation about horror I’ve had in a long time. Christensen’s background is in reality TV, but his true love is the horror genre. He has produced several series that you may have seen, ‘Billy the Exterminator’, ‘Wild West Alaska’ and more. He was much more eager to talk about his first film, ‘House of Purgatory’, which will be released on October 21st. Horror Fuel: You have produced several reality series. What made you decide to switch to writing horror? TC: I’ve always wanted to. But reality is what has payed the bills. I’m in LA and I thought it was time, so I took six months off to write the script for House of Purgatory. The one thing I got from college was how

An Interview With Lynn Falconer Costume Designer For Ouija: Origin Of Evil

When you watch a film, the costumes are a key element. They influence how you see a character, their environment, place and time. Without the right costumes a film would be lost. One of my favorite things is to talk to people who do different things in the film industry. I recently had the pleasure of speaking with costume designer and wardrobe stylist Lynn Falconer. You might not realize it, but you have seen her work before. She most recently designed the costumes for the upcoming film ‘Ouija 2: Origin of Evil‘, but she has been involved with so many projects. Just to name a few, ‘Oculus’, ‘Before I Wake’, ‘The Frozen Ground’, ‘Silent House’, ‘Straw Dogs’, and many others. Falconer also dresses actors for various commercials for companies such as Verizon, Radio Shack and even the Super Bowl. Horror Fuel: “Have you always been interesting in fashion? Falconer: “Yes! And there is quite the documented history of it in

Interview With Thomas Dekker Writer-Director Of Jack Goes Home

Earlier today, I had the pleasure of speaking with writer-actor-director-musician Thomas Dekker. Dekker proved to be a well-spoken, kind, passionate, insightful man whose main driving force is simply to create, rather it be on film or stage. At 28, Dekker already has more experience in the film industry than many actors will see in a lifetime. His first role at only the age of four. In 1995 he played the role of David in ‘Village of the Damned’. His career has been non-stop since. In 2010’s reboot of ‘A Nightmare on Elm Street,’ he played one of the main characters, Jesse. In the hit series ‘Heroes’ he co-starred as Zach. You should recognize Dekker as John Connor from ‘Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles’ or from his role on ‘The Secret Circle’. The list goes on. To say that he’s been a part of a lot of amazing films and series is an understatement. Now, he has turned his attention to

An Interview With Film And TV Composer And Musician Charlie Clouser

One of the most important parts of a film is its score and soundtrack. Even if you don’t realize it, the music is there to guide you through the movie and influence your mood, the setting, and the tone of the movie. Recently, I had the opportunity to interview a fantastic composer, musician, and Grammy nominee Charlie Clouser who has composed a long list of scores for television, film, and games including for the ‘Saw’ franchise, ‘Wayward Pines’, and the iconic opening score of ‘American Horror Story’. You may recognize Clouser for his work as a musician. He was one of the founding members of Nine Inch Nails. Clouser still works in the music industry today, creating remixes for musicians like Marilyn Manson and Rob Zombie’s band White Zombie. Horror Fuel: “You have been involved with various roles in the music industry for a while. How old were you when you began playing music and what was your first instrument?”

This afternoon I had the pleasure of speaking with John Fallon of Bruise Productions. He’s the writer and director of ‘The Shelter’ as well as a stuntman, actor, producer and the founder of Arrowinthehead.com. You have probably heard of some of the other films he’s written, directed or starred in like ‘Saw II’, ‘American Muscle’, ‘100 Feet’ or ‘Dead Shadows’. Saying Fallon is a busy man is an understatement. I’m very thankful that he found the time to answer my questions.
