� � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � Nicola Fiore


Howdy babe! How are you this fine morning?
      Getting used to the cold weather again! I enjoy the white Christmas but have thin Florida blood!

Now this is an interesting fact: You grew up on a tour bus with musician parents. Sounds fun. But, didn�t that type of nomadic lifestyle affect you in any adverse ways as time went on?
      I am sure it did. Moving around a lot. Staying up late. Partying at a young age. Yeah, my sister and I are pretty crazy I guess you could say.

Now, this may be a very embarrassing question, bit I am feeling a little ��frisky.�� How does it feel to be remembered for starring in a film entitled Terror At Blood Fart Lake? I think that has to be the very first time I have the term ��fart�� in the title of a horror film.
       I LOVE THAT FILM! It was SO fun to make and I loved the character Chris Seaver (of LBP) wrote for me. The cast and crew were a blast to work with. I would encourage everyone to see it. Netfilx, Amazon, SRS cinema's website are all places it is available.

Where did you attend film school? CA? NY?
      Actually in South Florida. The community college I went to has a great program and a great professor named Del Jacobs. Some of the alums went on to do great things including the film "Waiting".


As an actress/producer/writer, with so much on your plate, don�t you ever find it overwhelming? Does it ever get �lonely?
     It is always overwhelming. I wouldn't want it any other way. I am never lonely though, my girlfriend Melody is very supportive and has come along to help do P.A. work on a lot of the sets I have been on. She is what keeps me smiling.


You have an impressive co-star list: Debbie Rochon, Monique Dupree. The ladies of horror are like one big family, aren�t they?
       Yes! I remember the early 90's late 80's when there were women like Linnea Quigley (who I also had the pleasure working with), Brinke Stevens, Julie Strain, Tina Krause, and so many others. They got to do several films together and were also a big family. I would like to see that again with the new family. There are several others I would like to work with and am in the works to work with like April Burrill, Brinke, Darian Caine, and Tiffany Shepis.


And what about Lloyd Kaufman? I bet he is a real blast to be around.
      He is great! Even when on a set with him when he starts to go off, I am laughing at him. He and I have the same sense of humor and enjoy pranking people. He has a lot of energy and is hard to keep up with. I like to think I can stay up late and party, but sometimes he is up later than me at cons and still going!


I watching a film with a friend of mine recently, - I believe it was one of the Halloween films � and we�d just seen one of the female stars getting ��whacked�� and my friend says, quote: ��Another dumb blonde bites the big one, huh?�� {Men are really pigs, aren�t they?} This is, unfortunately, the opinion of a lot of the male viewing public; that these women in horror films are�well..dumb. I, myself, have found them all highly intelligent. Any {nasty} comments from you on this subject?
        I have played dumb characters sure. Also, I have played bad bitches! Thunder Ambrosia in Terror at Blood Fart Lake is a bad bitch. It may seem like a stereo type but I can watch a film and say, "look at that dude trying to get some ass again". The truth is, there really is not many men of horror lists or "scream king" lists. Women in this genre are much more admired I believe. We are all smart because we use that to our advantage.

What is on the horizon for Nicola?
      There is a lot coming up. I am looking forward to working with Forbidden Films on a Chainsaw Sally project. There are a few films outside the genre I am doing this next year. A martial arts film, an action film, a comedy, and I just did a 3 and a half minute monologue to audition for my first drama which I have gotten really attached to the story.
There are a few roles I would like to play in case there are any filmmakers out there! An evil cheerleader, vampire, serial killer (that one should come naturally to me), and someone cast me as a sassy bitch already! LOL!

Any last words of wisdom before you leave us?
       I think it is important to be in this for the right reasons. Never for the money or the fame. That doesn't really exist in the cult world. Having fun and enjoying the process is the only reason to do this.

                                                      NVF Magazine Interview
    {insert photo here} With Danica DeCosto



Good morning, Danica. How are you today?
    I'm pretty good. A little sick though. I hate winter!

Me too. Now, don�t think I am being too forward � and God forbid I make your husband upset � but�I think you are a living doll! You are sooooo cute! I bet you were spoiled a lot as a child, weren�t you?
     Thank you! And yes, I was spoiled. My mom used to like to dress me up in frilly little dresses all the time but eventually I got sick of it and just wore jeans all the time. And I was spoiled with lots of toys too. I LOVED Barbies! I think that is why I like filmmaking so much. It's like playing Barbies except with live people instead of dolls.

I understand your face has been seen in dozens of TV commercials and music videos. What are some of the TV spots?
     Well, I don't know about dozens, but my favorite commercial that I did was a Post Its one where I played an office nerd.

I bet you are a kitty and puppy person, too. Have any pets?
     Yes, I have cats. At the moment I also have a dog, but we are sadly about to get rid of her because my son is too rough with her and she doesn't like it.

I see you earned a BA in film. Was it difficult to obtain a degree like that one?
     Well...back when I got into film school there weren't as many spots available and it was harder to get in. I actually got accepted as a screenwriting major first, and had try out to switch my major to film. They hardly let anyone switch over and I had to work really hard and make the best films possible in order for them to let me. Luckily I got in, and then got to make more films in the more advanced classes. We were actually required to use film and not video, and that is a lot more expensive. But I am glad I got the experience of doing it though, because film really is great even though it's a lot more complicated than video.
     But as for if it was difficult to get the degree, the answer is yes and no. Making films was a lot of work. For mine we built sets and made costumes and did all of the work that most movies have a whole team of people doing, and my husband and I were doing all of it ourselves. He was my boyfriend at the time. But even though it was a lot of work it's what I loved to do so it didn't really feel like work.

Make any scary movies? Clue me in�
     Well most people wouldn't consider it scary unless they were under 5 years old. But my film "Imagination" will scare the crap out of preschoolers. It's about a monster who lives under a little girl's bed. He comes out and steals her doll and takes it to his dungeon where he tortures all the toys he has stolen from countless children. It's been called a horror movie for little kids!

What is your favorite scary movie? Or book?
     Growing up I always liked the Poltergeist movies. But I guess if I had to name the movie that scared me the most, that would be The Ring. I was so scared of televisions after that, and I was even scared of my own hair since I had long dark hair like Samara. Once I was drying my hair and I flipped it forward and I looked just like Samara when she would put her hair all in front of her face and march up to kill someone. Scared the crap out of myself! And that's really not good to be scared of yourself.

What would you say a ��normal�� day in the life of Danica consists of?
      Well I am a mom, so normally I will wake up and make breakfast for my 2 year old son, and then we might go to Chuck E. Cheese, go to music class, or hang out at home and watch some of his favorite movies.

Anything exciting on your horizon right now?
      Yes there is. I am currently in development for my first feature film. It's a musical comedy and it should be really fun. My husband has already made two features so he is producing it with me. We are going to L.A. soon to write the music with our good friend who is a music producer out there.

Any last words before you go?
     Thanks for the interview!
