An Interview With ‘Child’s Play’ Actress Carlease Burke

Carlease Burke sat down to talk with me about her latest role, as Doreen in the upcoming Lars Klevberg-directed remake of Child’s Play. Set to premiere on June 21, 2019, and stars Aubrey Plaza in the role of a mother who gives her son (Gabriel Bateman) a Buddi doll for his birthday, unaware of its sinister nature. Mark Hamill will be voicing Chucky. Horror Fuel: “You have been in so many fantastic series and movies. I mean, wow!” Carlease Burke: “I know. It is pretty remarkable when you are looking back at it. That’s a lot of stuff (laughter).” Horror Fuel: “(giggle) When I was looking at your IMDb I saw a lot of series I know and love.” Carlease Burke: “Oh, so you may have seen me before you knew me.” Horror Fuel: “I’m sure of it. I absolutely love Shameless.” Carlease Burke: “In the beginning, it was the first season, I played Roberta. I had a three-episode arc.

Horror Composer, Daniel Licht Passes Away

The musical vein of the horror world has lost a great composer. Daniel Licht (60) has passed away due to cancer. While Licht is most known for scoring the music for ‘Dexter’, he has been working steadily on film and TV, and video game music scores since the early ‘90s. Growing up in Detroit, Licht first found a love of jazz music and focused a great deal of time on the guitar. He received a composition degree in New Hampshire and travelled around Europe writing music and developing his craft. After moving to L.A., Licht was noticed by Clive Barker (of Hellraiser fame) and the two worked together on a number of projects. Licht was fond of using odd items in his music – especially for ‘Dexter’ – such as surgical tools, saws, bones and whatever else created his unique macabre sound. You will be missed.

Dexter Returning To Showtime

Dexter Morgan, a brilliant blood splatter expert, and killer of killers, is returning to Showtime. Michael C. Hall’s dark character solves crimes by day and dishes out his own brand of justice at night. ScreenCrush reports that the head pf Showtime, David Nevins recently spoke at the TCA press tour panel. Not only did he discuss new series, but also the return of old favorites, including Dexter. “Dexter is the one show that I think about [Continuing]. It’s a question of when timing is right…” Nevins also commented earlier this year that “It would have to involve Michael. I would only do it with Michael.” Thank God for that! I hate when a long running series replaces it’s main star. “Dexter is a show in need of redemption. We know not every event from the series final can be undone (Deb is still dead), but there is a chance to go forward and tell a story of how Dexter Morgan
