From ANDRAS JONES: I don’t usually lean into my history as a horror film actor unless I’m at genre specific events. I feel slightly hypocritical doing so since I’m a big fraidy cat when it comes to scary movies and generally don’t watch them, but my new friends at Feral thought it would be a good way to kick of this new series for them by reaching out to my largest fan base on Halloween weekend. Smart ideas like this are probably why they have a successful network, and I’m happy to learn from them.
I don’t want to make it sound like I don’t respect the genre. I do. And I have a lot of love for all the genre fans who visit my table at horror conventions. I’m just not as brave as them I guess. The real world is scary enough for me. That’s why, rather than just going out and getting as many of my castmates as I could to participate I let the theme of a really great feminist horror podcast called “Women In Caskets” set the tone for this episode and why, for my Nightmare episode, I chose to focus on the synchronistic connections between John Easdale who wrote the song most closely associated with my character in Nightmare, my father’s dream seminars, and my own relationship to the number 4.
Yes, that’s me screaming on the cover of Nightmare 4.
What am I screaming about?
Unpaid residuals?
No credit on the poster?
Renny Harlin hitting on my girlfriend?
You choose.
EMERALD CITY
I’ve finally found it
I’m feeling my way all around it
I’m going to surround it
Soon everything’s going to be fine
Hey hey
I can do what I say
I’m lost in a sweet dream
I’m living on chocolate ice cream
I’m letting off my steam
Now everything’s going to be fine
High high
I think I’ll learn how to fly
I went for the rental
Those costumes were so continental
How coincidental
They said everything would be fine
Ho ho
I think I’m ready to go oh oh oh oh oh oh
