An Interview With ‘Corbin Nash’ Actor Chris Pardal

Dancer turned actor Chis Pardal and I recently sat down to talk about his upcoming role in Ben Jagger’s vampire film Corbin Nash. Pardal stars alongside Dean Jagger, Corey Feldman, Malcolm McDowell, and Rutger Hauer in the film about a rogue police detective in search of his parents killer, a vampire. Before we dove into Corbin Nash, Chris and I talked about some of his previous roles. Horror Fuel: “The subjects of human trafficking and illegal aliens have been in the news a lot lately. Did your role in the series ‘Borderline Coyotes’ influence the way you see those subjects?” Chris Pardal: “You know, yes. It was a little bit different back then, it wasn’t in the forefront. The film didn’t deal with sex trafficking. It was about bringing over people illegally basically for slave labor. It changed my outlook on it. I always thought it was terrible, but it narrowed my focus. When you’re playing a bad guy it

Dale Midkiff Talks ‘Pet Semetary’, ‘Hell’s Kitty’, And Cows In An Interview

When I got the opportunity to interview Dale Midkiff, I jumped at the chance. I’ll be honest I may have even had a “fangirl” moment while talking with Dale, the star of one of my favorite classic horror films, Pet Sematary. While he was amazing the film, he’s also had so many roles in a lot of great films and series, including “The Magnificant Seven” series, The Crow: Salvation, Deep Rescue, Flight of the Living Dead, “Dexter”, and most recently Hell’s Kitty. Hell’s Kitty is a cameo-filled horror comedy from writer-director Nicholas Tana about a man and his possessed cat Angel. The cast of Hell’s Kitty sounds like a who’s who of horror with cameos from Midkiff, Doug Jones (The Shape of Water), Michael Berryman (The Hills Have Eyes), Courtney Gains (Children of the Corn), John Franklin (Children of the Corn), Kelli Maroney (Night of the Comet), and Lynn Lowry (The Crazies). Horror Fuel: “You were amazing in ‘Pet Sematary’.

Reine Swart Talks ‘The Lullaby’ In An Interview

A few nights ago I sat down to watch The Lullaby. It was far from what I was expecting, just another indie horror film. The film was dark and fantastic and left me lying awake that night with thoughts swirling around in my head. Reine Swart (Dominion, Z Nation, Detour, Die Pro), the film’s lead actress left me impressed with what I believe is the best performance in a genre film that I have seen in a very long time. Of course when I had the opportunity to interview Reine I jumped at the chance. Reine took us inside the mind of her character Chloe in The Lullaby, directed by Darrell Roodt and written by Tarryn-Tanille Prinsloo. In the film, after returning to her hometown, overwhelmed by the birth of her baby, Chloe tries to come to terms with motherhood. Despite the support from her mother, Ruby, Chloe struggles with the demands of being a new mom. The growing sense

Bigfoot And Bunnies: An Interview With ‘Primal Rage’ And ‘Bunnyman’ Star Marshal Hilton

I sat down with award-winning actor Marshal Hilton to talk about both past projects like the Bunnyman franchise, and his roles in several soon to be released films including Primal Rage, Astro. Hilton also gave us an inside look at what it’s like to star in horror films, the good, the bad, and the gooey. Horror Fuel: “How did you get your start?” Marshal Hilton: “I wish it was some grand design to tell you about, but it isn’t. I was born in Long Beach, California and raised up thirty minutes north of Los Angeles. You’re never a headshot, a script, and a friend away from a role. I had that creative thing inside of me. I’ve been in and out of Hollywood since I was a kid. It’s something I continue to work at and do and the jobs just keep coming. I’ve probably worked on seventy or eighty films. I meet a lot of people who come here,

Filmmaker Nick Hunt has several projects on his plate, including his film Safe Place, his anthology film Wander Tales, and his documentary ‘The Dark Heart of Jason Voorhees: The Making Of the Final Friday‘. He was willing to tell us about them during our interview. Horror Fuel: “You’ve been busy. You’re getting ready to shoot one Feature film, and prepping to shoot a feature-length documentary, a short film and a Feature length Anthology can you tell us about it?” Nick Hunt: “Safe Place’ is about six students who attend a party to celebrate their friend’s successful art show opening.

I made a lot of money doing that. I’ve been lucky enough to raise a nice family. I started off with a TV movie career. I ran Ed Asner’s

An Interview With ‘Dawning Of The Dead’ And ‘Cute Little Buggers’ Director Tony Jopia

Tony Jopia, writer-director-producer of films such as Crying Wolf 3D, Cute Little Buggers, and the zombie film Dawning of the Dead, which just arrived on VOD, took the time to sit down and answer a few of our questions about his films. Horror Fuel: Do you remember the first horror film you saw? What was it and how old were you?” Tony Jopia: I got to see loads of black and white creature features like THEM! and The Black Scorpion from around 11years old when my father would wake me up to watch them on late night TV. Prior to this, I think The Wizard of OZ was pretty scary, I remember going to the cinema on a very rainy day with my dad when I was about 6 and getting freaked out by the monkeys and the green witch. The forest was spooky too. The first few films I call full-on horror, that had a massive impact on me,

Writer-Director Larry Brand Talks ‘Young Charlie’ (Manson) & ‘Halloween: Resurrection’ In Our Interview

I had the pleasure of speaking with writer-director Larry Brand, who has written many films including Halloween: Resurrection, Paranoia, and The Girl on the Train which he also directed. Brand talked with us about his part of the Holloween franchise as well as one of his most recent projects, the second season of ‘Hollywood & Crime’, titled ‘Young Charlie’. With Charles Manson’s recent passing it is the perfect time to delve into Charles’ life. Brand has incredible insight into Manson’s past and was willing to let me pick his brain about the cult leader who left a path of destruction in his wake. Horror Fuel: “How did you come to write the Young Charlie series?” Larry Brand: “My film producing partners Rebecca Reynolds and Jim Carpenter have been producing a podcast series called Hollywood & Crime for Wondery for the last year-and-a-half.

Actor-Director Justin Price Discusses ‘The Elf’ And ‘The 13th Friday’ In An Interview

I had the opportunity to talk with actor-writer-director-producer Justin Price today who took the time out of his busy schedule to answer a few questions about his upcoming film The Elf and The 13th Friday, along with some of his other projects. Horror Fuel: “I’ve heard that you have to loose and gain weight a lot for your roles.” Price: “I had to lose a lot of weight for ‘Alien Reign of Men’. We shot that in Iceland. I thought I would get into some Daniel Day-Lewis character work, right. I tried to look like a heavy, bulky guy, and I put on about 40 pounds. Then I had to drop it, 40 pounds sounds a lot easier than done. Gaining it was easy.” Horror Fuel: “Do you do that a lot?” Price: “What, fluctuate weight? All the time. In ‘The Cloth’ I was about 165, in the ‘Reign of Men’ I was 240, right now I’m at 185. It’s
