‘Westworld’ Star Jimmi Simpson Talks ‘Into The Dark: ‘Treehouse’, #MeToo, And More In An Interview

Hulu’s “Into the Dark” has just debuted their March episode “Treehouse”, a terrifying twist on the horror genre featuring a “MeToo” message. Jimmi Simpson stars as a chef with a pension for using his fame to get away with assaulting women. But a group of witches is out to teach him a lesson he’ll never forget. I had the pleasure of talking with Jimmi who took the time to answer my questions while on set about his episode of “Into the Dark: Treehouse”, his role in “Westworld” and much more. Horror Fuel: “Thank you for taking the time to talk with me. I’m a fan. I absolutely loved you in Westworld! Jimmi Simpson: “Thank you, so much. I loved being on Westworld.” Horror Fuel: “What was it like to be on that set? I imagine that is an incredible experience.” Jimmi Simpson: “It was humbling, I would say that is the first thought. I had never been asked to be

Actress Savannah Kennick Talks Do Not Reply And More In An Interview

I sat down with actress Savannah Kennick to talk about acting, life and her roles in the upcoming season of Arrested Development, Bloom, and the horror film Do Not Reply. Do Not Reply, written and directed by Daniel Woltosz and Walter Woltosz, centers on Chelsea (Amanda Arcuri), a high school introvert, is abducted through a social media app and is forced to look like other girls Brad holds captive. Chelsea desperately attempts to persuade them to escape before they all become victims in his virtual reality filmed murders. Horror Fuel: “Your character in Holidays comes to a pretty brutal end.” Savannah Kennick: “In Holidays I played Heidy in the Valentine’s day segment. She’s the school mean girl, but she kind of “gets what she deserves.” But it’s taken to another level.” Horror Fuel: “You currently have a role in the comedy series Arrested Development. I’ll confess, I love that show. What character will you be playing?” Savannah Kennick: “It comes

Wolf Creek Star Facing Sexual Assault Charges

One of the biggest franchises to come out of the outback is Greg McLean’s Wolf Creek which spawned both a sequel and a TV series. Depicted in each are people who find themselves in trouble when hunted by serial killer Mick Taylor, played by John Jarratt. Now, Jarrett finds himself in big trouble. The 66-year-old man has been charged by New South Wales police with sexual assault charges. THR is reporting that Jarratt has been accused of a rape that allegedly took place in 1976. He was served with court papers this past Friday. According to the report, he allegedly raped an 18-year-old woman in September of ’76 at a residence in Eastern Sydney. He was 23 at the time. The accusor spoke with Australian reporter Tracy Spicer in 2017. Spicer had become the face of the Australian #MeToo movement and the woman reached out to her after Spicer requested on Twitter that women send her their #MeToo stories. Spicer

Nicki Micheaux Talks ‘Lowlife’ And More In Our Interview

Talented actress Nicki Micheaux sat down to talk with me about her numerous roles in series such as “The Shield” and “Lincoln Heights”. Nicki also took us inside the upcoming film Lowlife and gave us a glimpse into the life of her character, Crystal. In Lowlife, directed by Ryan Prows, the sordid lives of an addict, an ex-con, and a luchador collide when an organ harvesting caper goes very, very wrong. Micheaux stars alongside Ricardo Adam Zarate, Jon Oswald, Shaye Ogbonna, Santana Dempsey, and Mark Burnham. Horror Fuel: “You’ve starred in several impressive series in the past. Do you have a favorite?” Nicki Micheaux: “There has been a lot of fun stuff. But I’ve always really liked ‘The Shield’ and the role I played, Detective Trish because she’s so dark and twisted, tough and a lot of fun to play. She’s struggling being a woman. The way she handles everything, I really identify with her. I love her. Horror Fuel:
