Queens Of Scream: The New Blood (6) Skeleton Key 2 Heavy Mental Zombthology Cottonmouth The Maim Event Bikini Bloodbath Christmas NVF Magazine interview With Jackey Hall Good day, Jackey. You look lovely today. How are you? Fine. This may be an odd way to begin an interview, but I really get a kick out of your ad line on your My Space page: ��If you polish a turd it is still a turd.�� I couldn�t agree more. Is this your philosophy on life in general? Yes, actually that is my philosophy on life in general. I have been through a lot in my life to have the career that have and unfortunately I found out that there are a lot of what I like to call �Turds� in the world. I found out the hard way in life that you can�t change people and that you should only keep people that support you and believe in you in your life. I tend to agree. You also state that you consider yourself a dork. You don�t look too dorky to me, or dumb, either. That�s a common misconception these days, that women in horror aren�t too intelligent. Have you ever run across this problem yet? Actually I have not run across this problem yet. I am very secure about myself and my career so even if I did run across this problem it wouldn�t affect me. I would just move on to the next project. My drive to become a known actress is so strong that nobody and nothing will stop me from becoming what I want to become in my career. I am a bit of a dork though. People say that I remind them of Anna Faris because I�m a bit crazy, LOL. {insert photo here} What was it that made you want to become an actress? Any favorite scream queens? Actually when I was very young I would go to the movie store and rent like five horror movies every weekend and just sit and watch them over and over and then I would act the movies out with my friends. I knew at a very young age that I wanted to be a actress. I see you enjoy comedy as well. Which would you rather star in? A horror film or a comedy? Or, better yet, a horror-comedy! Well that�s a hard question to answer because I love them both so much. I actually produced my own horror comedy last year called �Chainsaw Cheerleaders�. It didn�t turn out quite how I wanted it to but for my first movie as a producer it turned out ok. I�m sure I�d enjoy it. What kinds of games did you play growing up? Were you one of the ��sugar and spice�� girls, or more of a tomboy? I was a huge tomboy. I have a older brother and we would always dress up in out ninja turtle outfits and have these huge fights in our front yard, LOL. I grew up on a farm in a very small town in Arkansas so there wasn�t much to do but play in the dirt and get dirty. Our house was like the movie �Wild America� LOL. We had every animal that you can possible think of living in our house. I can remember eating breakfast with our pet raccoon that we had. He would sit beside me every morning and eat oatmeal out of his own bowl. I remember that I had to eat my food faster then he did or if he got done eating before I did that he would fight me for my food, LOL. Is there a certain type of connection between women in horror that isn�t there with so-called ��mainstream�� actresses? I mean, I firmly believe that people who work within the horror genre need to stick together, don�t you? I think that there is a connection between women in horror and I think that its because most horror movies are made by independent company�s and that people in the indie world seem to stay closer together. I agree. What is on the horizon for Jackey? I just finished a movie called �Chrome Angels� for the SciFi Channel that has some great names in the film and I just hope to keep moving up to bigger and better films. Any last words before you leave us and break our hearts? LOL! There�s not going to be any broken hearts.

How are you this fine day? I�m very excited! Thank you so much for interviewing me. Being a Christian, I couldn't resist asking you this right off; do you ever face any opposition from anyone in the horror film industry over your religious beliefs? I have met people who thought being a Christian was a curse. A lot of people don�t understand what being a Christian is really about, it�s all about loving one another, no matter what their beliefs are, Christian or not. It�s about God and Jesus. If you read the Bible, you see that a lot of �Christians� are doing the exact opposite of what Jesus did. Sadly, there are a lot of people who try to play God and make the word of God look really bad. So yes, people do get nervous when they meet me. But, it just gives me the opportunity to show them that that�s not who I am. I see you are involved with a great charity too, the Croyle Big Oak Ranch project. I, too, am involved in a great cause, www.patchworkproject.com, and an organization against child abuse, domestic abuse. It is very fulfilling work, isn't it? Very much so! People don�t realize how much wisdom children really have. It�s heartbreaking the way that kids are treated. They�re people too. I hope to try and show people that. The Big Oak Ranch is a great way to see just how beautiful kids are! What first had you interested in getting into the horror film industry? I began to enjoy the horror genre as a child, watching old scary movies and reading old EC Comics like Tales From The Crypt. Starting at the age of 2, I began watching cheesy scary movies with my Dad such as The Mummy and The Wolf Man. I also grew up on Alfred Hitchcock films as well as reruns of his show. I got hooked on horror very quickly in my life. Speaking of scary films, what was your film Scream Farm all about? The name is fairly self-explanatory, but you never know! Hahaha It�s about some drug dealers that hide some pot at a haunted house and some teenagers find it. The dealers come back wanting the drugs, the problem is, some of them smoked it and started turning into zombies! Although I�m very glad that I did the movie and I loved the people that I worked with, the only thing that I didn�t like was one line that I had. It was, �I heard that Jason and none for you this weekend!� I felt like the line should�ve been delivered sarcastically, but the director didn�t want me to deliver it like that, so the line came across very badly. It just didn�t jive with me. I�m not blaming anyone and nobody did anything wrong, I just felt like that scene deserved an explanation. I see you have appeared in stage plays as well, one being The Diary Of Anne Frank. Which do you prefer, film or stage? There has to be a big difference. YES! I prefer film to stage, although I�d love to do more plays in the future. With stage, you have to over act a lot and with film, it�s all-natural, I feel like I�m more of a film actress. I did love doing The Diary of Anne Frank and it continues being one of the best moments in my career. I played Miep Gies and it was so wonderful. She�s very proper and soft spoken and I even had to speak in a German accent. It was challenge and I felt like I did well. What's this about you getting engaged? That is going to break a lot of hearts, you know. Aw, that�s sweet! Yes, I�m getting married in January 2009. God has blessed me with the sweetest man and I couldn�t be happier! What's on the horizon for Sarah? Would you still like to be a scream queen say...ten years from now? Or would you rather settle down and raise a family, live the American dream? I�ve got some more films that I�ll be doing next year. Most of them being horror, but one is a comedy, which I�m excited about. I always want the scream queen persona to be a part of me. It�s how I got my start and I won�t ever forget my roots. I will like to do some other films as well, though. I�ll never stop acting, but I�ll have a family with my husband as well one day. We do want to have children; we�re just going to wait a while before we have a kid. Any advice to the ladies out there who might be interested in becoming a scream queen? Stay true to yourself. Don�t let anyone try and change you. Stick with your morals. If you don�t, it will come back to haunt you. I�ve seen it happen. Any last words before you have to leave us?

Women In Horror Documentary"-Myself (2009) NVF Magazine interview with {insert photo here} Kristi Fitts Hi there, Kristi. Long time no hear. How have you been? I�ve been great! I�m very busy with the agency and upcoming movie projects. The film industry is booming here in Michigan. Variety has called us the new �Vancouver�. Sound stages are beginning to pop up everywhere�it�s a very exciting time! May I say that with a face like that - so gorgeous - it�s hard for me to believe you could ever be scary. Yet, you managed to get the honor of being scream queen of the month in August 2007. Congrats! How did that come about? Is it a group vote or something? Well, thank you for the lovely compliment�but make-up helps. Actually, you should see me without it�now THAT is not a pretty picture. You may need therapy after seeing me without my face on! You know, to this very day, I have NO idea who submitted me. During the filming of Buddy Bebop vs. The Living Dead the crew was so impressed with my scream, they suggested that I submit myself as a Scream Queen�maybe that is where it all started? As I look over your resume, I just can�t picture you being scary; radio personality, runway model, promotions for Marlboro and Victoria�s Secret, and modeling for Macys and JC Penney. But, that just goes to show you; you cannot always judge a book by it�s cover. A lot of guys - and gals as well - have this impression that it�s what is on the OUTSIDE that always counts. Too bad they can�t see what is on the inside, the high degree of intelligence and a good heart that lies beneath the superficial side, isn�t it? I truly believe that if you are ugly on the inside, it will show on the outside! I don�t care what beautiful features you may possess physically�it will show on camera. And what can I say�intelligence speaks for itself. You should never stop learning. My second grader teaches me something new everyday�and I�m almost 40! You sure don�t look it, babe. How did you originally get interested in becoming an actress? Any favorite actresses that were an early influence on your career? I did some auditions in High School, but it never amounted to much�.basically, I was too chicken to take the stage. It was suggested by a well know theatre group that I take voice and acting lessons. I guess they felt I had �something�. I never did. It wasn�t until a few years ago when I started doing commercials that I fell in love with acting! I realized I didn�t want to perform on a stage, instead I loved the camera! Then I started getting roles in feature films. It was all over by then�I was completely sucked into the Hollywood glamour. Oh, I could go on and on about favorite actresses� They range from Angelina Jolie, to Parker Posie, to Audrey Hepburn, to Doris Day, to Ellen Page. I really could go on and on� I see you are also a writer of children�s books. That is great. Did you always want to be a writer as well? Any early influences in writing? Whew�I am full of Q&A, aren�t I? Yes, you are�I have written about 7 children�s books. They are very reminiscent of Dr. Seuss. Lots of rhyming� They are not published as of yet�but, I have to admit, I haven�t been trying very hard to get them published. That project was kind of pushed to the back burner when I opened my Model & Talent Agency almost 3 years ago. You know, I really DO need to get that done! How about this film, Buddy Be-Bop VS The Living Dead? With a title like that, I have to know the details. Do I detect a little bit of Buddy Holly nostalgia in there? Yes, Buddy Holly vs. The Living Dead was the original title of the movie. However, the producers were unable to get copy write permission to use his name. When you view the movie you will see that it is a parody about his life, and you may even see a little Elvis in there as well. How about this news I hear about you being in a comedy workshop, too? Is there anything you don�t do, pray tell? Oh, I am always studying, brushing up and trying to learn different things. You can always improve in your craft. I don�t clean bathrooms! I hate it�I love to cook, clean and be a wife and mother, but I don�t do bathrooms�.it�s disgusting! May I ask you what your favorite scary movie is? How about book? I already know what your favorite magazine is�.MINE! LOL! I have several favorite scary movies� I love theatrics, drama & mystery�.not blood and gore. I know, go figure, right? I love Bram Stoker�s Dracula, The Other�s, Rose Mary�s baby (now I am dating myselfJ) and the Sixth Sense. I am really into ghost stories and ghost hunter TV shows. I will sit intensely in front of my TV with the sound turned ALL the way up listening for whispers, EVP�s, voices, etc�looking for orbs�yeah, it�s fun. I actually just met a local paranormal investigative team during a radio interview on Halloween. They would like to get together and produce a TV series�very fun! Now, this may surprise you, but my MOST favorite book is The Good Book�yes, The Bible. I am a Christian. No joke? That�s nice. Thank you. As far as magazines go, yours and In-Style are all I read! (wink, wink). You can wink at me anytime, babe. How about any new films on the horizon? Anything spooky? Yes, actually. The Haunting on Sea Horse Farm will hopefully start filming this Spring here in Michigan. It is being produced by the same people that brought you The Dread and Buddy Bebop vs. The Living Dead. Waiting for April is also on the agenda. This film is a dramedy�you know, drama/comedy. And, of course, you never know what else will be coming into Michigan now that we have new film incentives for movie makers. Rumor has it that Stephen King�s Bag of Bones will be filming here soon on the west side of the state! How cool is that?! We have already had Clint Eastwood and Drew Barrymore film here�who�s next? Any last words before you leave us? It was a pleasure interviewing with you�again! Please feel free to check out our agency website at www.RealityModelsSite.com We always update our news page. And feel free to check out my personal MySpace page at www.myspace.com/kristifitts I post trailers, photos, blogs�it�s a hoot! It is always great talking with you! I think your swell!
