[00:00:01] So, let's bring back our two cast members, Lexi McDougall and Beth Eyre

[00:00:09] What the hell do you think you're doing, Lynch?

[00:00:12] Well, I'm in this one, Ramon

[00:00:14] Christ preserve us

[00:00:15] Okay, let's get fucked

[00:00:23] Not radio, not performance, not even something in between

[00:00:30] Imagine, if you will, a horror podcast given less than one month to prepare a life

[00:00:36] No, wait, no, wait

[00:00:37] Imagine, if you will, a horror podcast where the horror is the star of the show

[00:00:45] I mean, I'm not sure if that makes sense

[00:00:48] There's no rider, I ask for Kit Kats

[00:00:50] There are no Kit Kats

[00:00:51] This is an unpaid gig

[00:00:53] Fuck you all

[00:00:54] Hello and welcome to a special live show of Fright Shift

[00:01:05] The podcast that's coming to you from inside the house

[00:01:10] I'm author, journalist and guest host Natalie Hope

[00:01:13] And joining me is the show's regular host Gary Vaughan

[00:01:17] Salutations

[00:01:20] We're both here at the London Podcast Festival

[00:01:24] And thank you very much

[00:01:26] And we have a very exciting special guest

[00:01:30] A true legend of the horror genre

[00:01:33] So, let's just dive straight in

[00:01:36] Let's just dive straight into it

[00:01:37] I bet by the end of this interview we'll have barely scratched the surface

[00:01:42] Surface

[00:01:42] What?

[00:01:44] Barely scratched the surface

[00:01:45] Scratching the surface, yeah, right?

[00:01:48] No, it's surface, scratching the surface

[00:01:50] It means we'll only have dealt with a small part of it

[00:01:53] So what does scratch the surface mean?

[00:01:54] It doesn't mean anything

[00:01:56] Let's just get started

[00:02:00] Yeah, let's just dive right into it, yeah

[00:02:03] How are you, Gary?

[00:02:05] Yeah, I'm good, Natalie

[00:02:06] You know, I had an avocado sandwich from Pret this morning

[00:02:18] You were telling me about a sandwich?

[00:02:20] Yeah, sorry, I had an avocado sandwich from Pret this morning

[00:02:23] And the ratio of bread to guac, I tell you

[00:02:25] It's like something, and I'm not exaggerating here

[00:02:28] Something out of a gulag

[00:02:31] Well, I don't go to Pret, it's become too much of a chain

[00:02:35] Bamboo bagels by Russell Square are really good

[00:02:37] It's a bit more expensive, but you are supporting true artisanal craftsmanship

[00:02:40] Yeah, well, I'll tell you, there was a shard of glass in the sandwich

[00:02:43] I could have cut my tongue off

[00:02:45] And that was the final straw

[00:02:46] But I digress, we're not here to talk about sandwiches

[00:02:49] No, we really should get started

[00:02:51] Right, yeah, so let's just dive right into it

[00:02:53] Dive straight in, yeah

[00:02:54] Yeah, almost got electrocuted as well

[00:02:56] Must be some faulty wiring

[00:02:57] That's quite a morning, Gary

[00:02:59] But let's talk about our show today, shall we?

[00:03:02] Oh, totes, yeah

[00:03:03] Because our guest is, what, are we going national trej territory here?

[00:03:07] I think we are

[00:03:08] Oh, completely

[00:03:09] National trej

[00:03:10] It's none other than

[00:03:13] Janet Koenig

[00:03:27] Janet Koenig

[00:03:28] Is she coming?

[00:03:30] I don't know

[00:03:31] I can't

[00:03:32] Janet!

[00:03:35] Janet!

[00:03:38] No, she's not there

[00:03:40] Okay, don't worry

[00:03:41] I'm sure she's on her way

[00:03:42] Making a grand entrance

[00:03:44] Fashionably late

[00:03:45] Exactly

[00:03:45] So, whilst we're waiting for her

[00:03:47] Let's chat a little about horror

[00:03:50] Yeah, because you like horror, don't you, Natalie?

[00:03:52] I do

[00:03:53] I do enjoy me some horror

[00:03:55] You as well, Gary?

[00:03:56] Oh, love it

[00:03:57] Do you know, I was watching that The Exorcist the other night

[00:04:00] It's quite good, isn't it?

[00:04:04] Classic, absolute classic

[00:04:05] Like, it's not so scary now you watch it

[00:04:07] But when you try to think back around the time it was out

[00:04:10] What, like the 70s?

[00:04:11] And, you know, there hadn't been anything like that before

[00:04:13] Like that would have shat you right up

[00:04:17] Do you know what I mean?

[00:04:17] But then a lot of that is down to

[00:04:20] William Friedkin's Maverick direction

[00:04:21] R.I.P. will

[00:04:22] Yeah, R.I.P. Freeders

[00:04:24] Because, can you imagine if he hadn't directed that

[00:04:26] And they got, like, some other film director to do it

[00:04:29] To take on a beast like that

[00:04:31] It would have been a totally different film, wouldn't it?

[00:04:33] Yeah, that it would, Natalie

[00:04:35] That it would

[00:04:39] Ah, there she is

[00:04:40] Let's get her up here then

[00:04:42] Ladies and gentlemen

[00:04:43] The screen queen herself

[00:04:46] Janet Koenig

[00:04:54] Sorry, I was in the building

[00:04:56] I went to get a sandwich and then got a bit lost

[00:04:58] It is a bit of a maze

[00:04:59] Yeah, not the best timing, though

[00:05:02] Well, I heard you say

[00:05:03] Let's dive straight into it

[00:05:05] So I figured

[00:05:06] I'd have time

[00:05:08] Janet, it's a total priv to have you here with us

[00:05:12] This is your podcast debut, is it not?

[00:05:14] No, I did Final Girls last week

[00:05:17] Oh

[00:05:19] When we booked you, you hadn't done any

[00:05:22] I guess they got in first

[00:05:24] Right

[00:05:25] But you're not a regular podcaster, are you?

[00:05:29] Because, I mean, well, come to think of it

[00:05:30] You don't normally do podcasts either, do you, Natalie?

[00:05:32] No, not really my cup of char

[00:05:34] I think it's either people who've already made it

[00:05:37] Looking for a quick buck

[00:05:38] Or people who are never going to make it

[00:05:40] Trying to give their voice a go

[00:05:41] Because that's the internet

[00:05:43] Everyone's got a voice

[00:05:44] Whether or not you've got the talent to back it up

[00:05:50] Anyway, let's dive straight in

[00:05:53] I'd say it's more of a glide at this point

[00:05:57] So, let's talk about your best films

[00:05:59] Talking Dirty

[00:06:01] Confusion

[00:06:01] Eyes of the Leper

[00:06:02] I've seen those

[00:06:06] Eyes of the Leper, probably the biggest

[00:06:07] Of course, you didn't do the rest of the franchise, did you?

[00:06:11] No, absolutely not

[00:06:12] Did you see Lepers in Space?

[00:06:16] I know when to quit

[00:06:17] Indeed you do

[00:06:18] Was it a tough shoot?

[00:06:20] No tougher than any others

[00:06:22] Really?

[00:06:23] What about the animatronic prosthetic arms

[00:06:25] That almost strangled a child?

[00:06:27] Oh

[00:06:27] That

[00:06:28] That was quite horrible

[00:06:30] But they were fine

[00:06:31] They were two minutes from dying

[00:06:32] Well, we're all close to death, Natalie

[00:06:37] Deep

[00:06:38] Death is only the beginning

[00:06:40] That's what I always say

[00:06:43] Isn't that from the mummy?

[00:06:46] Yeah, well

[00:06:47] They don't own it

[00:06:52] The writers had a terrible time, didn't they?

[00:06:55] Oh

[00:06:55] I never deal with the writers

[00:06:56] It's just me and the camera

[00:07:00] So, you didn't hear about the writers' hotel room exploding?

[00:07:04] Oh

[00:07:04] Well, of course I heard about that

[00:07:06] Twice

[00:07:07] Yeah, it's very tragic

[00:07:10] Both Novotels

[00:07:14] My heart goes out to their families

[00:07:16] It's very tragic

[00:07:19] They didn't both die, did they?

[00:07:21] What?

[00:07:22] No, one of them survived

[00:07:23] If you can call it life

[00:07:25] Did he now?

[00:07:26] It's funny, I thought you were close with the writers

[00:07:28] Because you've done some writing yourself, haven't you, Janet?

[00:07:31] Oh

[00:07:31] I've dabbled in crime fiction

[00:07:33] When I was writing my first book

[00:07:35] Death Trust

[00:07:35] God, it's a bit embarrassing looking back on it now

[00:07:38] It's very early me

[00:07:40] I was a big fan of your early films

[00:07:42] Though it is fair to say

[00:07:44] It's all tits and running

[00:07:48] Fair to say?

[00:07:50] How did you adapt to changing attitudes to nudity on screen?

[00:07:53] No, hang on

[00:07:54] If I could just feel this

[00:07:56] Look, Janet

[00:07:58] Nudity shouldn't be shocking

[00:08:00] It should be empowering

[00:08:02] Now, I personally think it's progressive

[00:08:04] On a female level

[00:08:06] Sure, you had a tremendous body then

[00:08:09] But you're full-bodied

[00:08:11] Vintage, if you will

[00:08:12] Am I right, lads?

[00:08:14] You're more of a flower

[00:08:15] In full bloom

[00:08:17] That's not quite gilded

[00:08:20] Some people welcome the autumn

[00:08:23] And me, personally

[00:08:25] I have been known to partake in mutton

[00:08:28] As well as lamb

[00:08:36] Do you have a question for me?

[00:08:40] Not at this time

[00:08:43] Natalie?

[00:08:44] Just the question I originally asked

[00:08:46] About changing attitudes

[00:08:48] Indeed

[00:08:49] It's quite simple

[00:08:51] I just don't get my tits out

[00:08:53] What?

[00:08:54] What the hell?

[00:08:56] What now?

[00:08:56] Hooks turn out the lights

[00:08:57] It's pitch black in here

[00:08:59] Oh god

[00:08:59] He's here

[00:09:03] Okay

[00:09:04] They're back on now

[00:09:06] Orcel arm

[00:09:06] Spanner's in the machine

[00:09:07] It's gremlins in the...

[00:09:09] You know what?

[00:09:10] It doesn't matter

[00:09:11] You were saying, Janet

[00:09:13] Well, um

[00:09:14] Yes

[00:09:15] Yes, yes

[00:09:16] Um, okay

[00:09:17] Anyway, um

[00:09:19] I was saying

[00:09:21] Sorry to cut in

[00:09:22] Um, who's he?

[00:09:24] Oh

[00:09:25] Never mind, move on

[00:09:26] Move on

[00:09:29] Move

[00:09:30] On

[00:09:31] Moving on

[00:09:32] Are you sure?

[00:09:35] Yes

[00:09:35] Yep

[00:09:35] Yep

[00:09:38] Well, um

[00:09:39] Obviously there's a new version

[00:09:41] Of Eyes of the Leper coming out

[00:09:42] And many people think it's a travesty

[00:09:43] To remake such a

[00:09:44] I'm sorry

[00:09:45] Really

[00:09:46] Who is

[00:09:48] He?

[00:09:49] I really don't want to talk about it

[00:09:51] Of course, fine

[00:09:52] See, as a writer myself

[00:09:54] I know the challenge of finding new ideas

[00:09:56] It's just your sudden reaction there

[00:09:58] Made me think

[00:10:00] Well, you tell me

[00:10:01] You're the, uh

[00:10:02] What's the word?

[00:10:03] Guest

[00:10:06] There's no question

[00:10:07] It was one of the most famous roles

[00:10:08] I ever took on

[00:10:09] And will probably be the one

[00:10:11] I'll be most remembered for

[00:10:12] In the horror genre at least

[00:10:14] But it doesn't take away from the, uh

[00:10:17] Original

[00:10:44] Mmm

[00:10:44] What do you do?

[00:10:45] Look, this is a safe space

[00:10:47] No one's gonna judge you

[00:10:49] What do you mean judge me?

[00:10:50] No, I just mean

[00:10:51] You don't have to suffer in silence

[00:10:55] Really?

[00:10:56] You want me to do this

[00:10:57] Now?

[00:10:59] You've got to be

[00:11:00] Let

[00:11:00] Let me tell you

[00:11:02] It's a different kind of fear, Natalie

[00:11:05] Every corner

[00:11:05] Every shadow

[00:11:06] Though he is

[00:11:08] Relentless

[00:11:10] Obsessive

[00:11:11] Deranged

[00:11:11] Is?

[00:11:13] Is

[00:11:14] I had him prosecuted

[00:11:16] That gave me

[00:11:17] Eight months of peace

[00:11:19] I knew it wouldn't be the end of it

[00:11:21] Who is it?

[00:11:22] There's a studio floor runner

[00:11:24] I know

[00:11:24] He's really fucking sketchy

[00:11:26] I don't let him make the tea

[00:11:28] You know, real tea bag in the cup vibes

[00:11:30] You know

[00:11:31] It's Dick

[00:11:33] In the Assam

[00:11:34] Yeah

[00:11:34] It's probably not him

[00:11:37] His name was Alberto Salva

[00:11:39] Sounds Italian

[00:11:40] Portuguese

[00:11:41] Portuguese, that's what I meant

[00:11:43] He was an electrician on set

[00:11:45] During one of my movies

[00:11:46] Well, maybe you could sort out

[00:11:47] Of the fault you were in here

[00:11:48] What?

[00:11:49] Nah, it's just

[00:11:50] I

[00:11:51] Continue

[00:11:53] He was an electrician

[00:11:54] We spoke

[00:11:56] All of once

[00:11:58] And he was never right

[00:12:00] His eyes

[00:12:02] Soon after

[00:12:02] He was fired

[00:12:03] For threatening behaviour

[00:12:04] And that was just

[00:12:06] The start for me

[00:12:07] There

[00:12:09] Are you happy now?

[00:12:11] All I could do

[00:12:12] Is live my life

[00:12:13] And make my own destiny

[00:12:14] I'm not a self-help guy

[00:12:20] But you know the phrase

[00:12:22] You're not you

[00:12:23] When you're hungry

[00:12:26] Excuse me?

[00:12:27] I'm just saying

[00:12:28] I'm obviously

[00:12:29] I'm obviously

[00:12:30] Not justifying stalking

[00:12:31] That's not what I'm doing

[00:12:32] Walk

[00:12:33] Don't stalk

[00:12:34] That's, you know

[00:12:35] A bird in the bush

[00:12:37] Is worth

[00:12:38] A hand

[00:12:40] I must say

[00:12:41] It does have parallels

[00:12:42] With your former co-stars

[00:12:43] Doesn't it?

[00:12:43] The whole cursed production

[00:12:45] Cursed production

[00:12:46] Everyone loves to

[00:12:48] Bandy that one around

[00:12:49] You find that out

[00:12:51] On a documentary

[00:12:51] On Shudder

[00:12:52] Don't you?

[00:12:53] Try

[00:12:54] Living it

[00:12:55] It wasn't cursed

[00:12:56] There were

[00:12:58] Some tragic events

[00:12:59] One death

[00:13:00] With a loaded

[00:13:00] Children's crossbow

[00:13:02] One serious electrocution

[00:13:03] One glass-related incidents

[00:13:05] Yes, I remember

[00:13:06] What they were, Natalie

[00:13:08] And then

[00:13:09] Attacked by Stalker

[00:13:10] Didn't someone lose

[00:13:11] An eyeball as well?

[00:13:12] What is your point?

[00:13:14] Just exploring

[00:13:15] The whole mystery

[00:13:16] In fact

[00:13:17] We have an audio clip

[00:13:19] From your cast members

[00:13:20] At the time

[00:13:21] Being interviewed

[00:13:21] In response

[00:13:22] To the car accident

[00:13:23] That decapitated

[00:13:23] Your personal chef

[00:13:24] Oh, but you're not

[00:13:25] Going to play it

[00:13:26] Are you?

[00:13:28] Of course not

[00:13:31] R.I.P.

[00:13:34] That's what I thought

[00:13:35] Can we finally change

[00:13:36] The subject

[00:13:37] And talk about

[00:13:37] Something else?

[00:13:38] Um, babysitter

[00:13:41] In the helicopter

[00:13:42] Um, LL Cool J

[00:13:45] And 70% Burns

[00:13:46] No, uh

[00:13:47] Paprika the Sloth

[00:13:48] Carabiner Hook

[00:13:50] And get some real skeletons

[00:13:51] She's written about you

[00:13:53] You know

[00:13:54] A lot of people

[00:13:55] Have written about me

[00:13:55] Exactly

[00:13:56] And we're not here

[00:13:57] To talk about that

[00:13:57] No, but this wasn't

[00:13:58] Just like a run-of-the-mill

[00:13:59] For now biophics

[00:14:01] This was more of a

[00:14:02] Character study

[00:14:02] Yeah, published too

[00:14:04] By who?

[00:14:05] Self-published

[00:14:06] Ah, okay

[00:14:08] Boy, was it juicy though

[00:14:10] How so?

[00:14:12] Just, you know

[00:14:13] It was nothing

[00:14:22] Just a bit of a set

[00:14:23] Falling down

[00:14:24] No, he's here

[00:14:24] He's in the building

[00:14:25] I know he is

[00:14:26] Look, even if he is here

[00:14:27] He's not gonna get you

[00:14:28] This is a safe space

[00:14:29] Fuck off with your safe space!

[00:14:32] Okay

[00:14:33] Let's all just take a breather

[00:14:35] For a second

[00:14:35] Yeah, I don't know about you guys

[00:14:37] But I'm getting fucking hungry

[00:14:39] Are you, are you, are you angry Janet?

[00:14:42] I'm fine

[00:14:44] Are you, um

[00:14:47] You gonna eat, eat that?

[00:14:52] My sandwich?

[00:14:53] Yeah

[00:14:54] Nah, it, don't worry

[00:14:56] It's yours

[00:14:57] Okay

[00:14:57] Okay

[00:14:58] It's just you said

[00:15:00] You're not hungry

[00:15:01] But if you are

[00:15:03] Then, you know

[00:15:04] Just have it

[00:15:04] Really?

[00:15:06] Yes

[00:15:06] Oh, you're having it now, are you?

[00:15:14] Simply cheese

[00:15:18] Hmm

[00:15:20] Um

[00:15:22] Oh, girl

[00:15:22] Don't mind me

[00:15:24] So

[00:15:25] Let's talk about that remake

[00:15:27] How do you feel

[00:15:28] About Ariana Grande

[00:15:29] Taking your role?

[00:15:30] Hmm

[00:15:31] I don't see it as taking my role

[00:15:34] I see it more as

[00:15:35] As I am passing the baton

[00:15:37] We're all in this relay race

[00:15:40] No

[00:15:40] No

[00:15:41] Sorry

[00:15:42] Did they ask you?

[00:15:44] It must have been hard to say no

[00:15:45] Seeing as you're so associated with it

[00:15:47] Oh

[00:15:47] Yes, they did

[00:15:48] I have a firm

[00:15:50] No remakes policy

[00:15:51] You only live once

[00:15:53] And that goes for characters

[00:15:54] As well as real life, Natalie

[00:15:56] Ah

[00:15:57] Ah

[00:15:58] Gary?

[00:16:01] Oh

[00:16:01] That's a

[00:16:02] Brown and I've started a glass

[00:16:05] Glass?

[00:16:06] Oh

[00:16:07] In your sandwich?

[00:16:08] Oh, it's apparently quite common

[00:16:09] Oh

[00:16:10] Jesus

[00:16:10] Oh, it hurts

[00:16:12] Are you okay?

[00:16:14] No, I'll be fine

[00:16:16] Your mouth is bleeding

[00:16:18] Like a lot

[00:16:19] You know what it's like

[00:16:21] When you cut your mouth

[00:16:22] Eating pizza

[00:16:24] Oh, it hurts

[00:16:25] It's not like that

[00:16:27] It's

[00:16:28] It's

[00:16:28] Thuring

[00:16:28] Something's gone wrong

[00:16:30] It's

[00:16:31] More like being

[00:16:33] Stabbed in the mouth

[00:16:36] Oh

[00:16:37] Oh, God

[00:16:38] That was for me

[00:16:40] He did that

[00:16:41] He left that for me

[00:16:43] That I was meant to eat that glass

[00:16:44] Calm down

[00:16:45] Calm down?

[00:16:46] Why would I calm down?

[00:16:48] I've told you

[00:16:49] He's out there

[00:16:50] What was his name again?

[00:16:52] You said

[00:16:52] Alberto Salva, right?

[00:16:54] Because I'm just looking him up

[00:16:55] What?

[00:16:55] Sorry

[00:16:56] You're Googling my stalker?

[00:16:58] During my interview

[00:16:59] While

[00:17:00] While your co-host is bleeding to death

[00:17:02] Oh

[00:17:03] I want to say

[00:17:04] Bleeding to death

[00:17:05] I'm

[00:17:06] I'm

[00:17:06] A little bit

[00:17:07] Ozy

[00:17:09] I'm

[00:17:10] I'm going to

[00:17:11] Show the

[00:17:11] Sorry

[00:17:12] Ladies

[00:17:12] Crapper

[00:17:13] I haven't lost my sense

[00:17:15] To you, Matt

[00:17:16] I'm going to

[00:17:17] Just go this way

[00:17:19] Okay

[00:17:21] Gary

[00:17:22] Watch out for the live wires

[00:17:28] Gary?

[00:17:29] Oh

[00:17:30] Jesus Christ

[00:17:33] Is he okay?

[00:17:35] He'll be fine

[00:17:38] Looks

[00:17:38] Looks like he

[00:17:39] Wet himself

[00:17:42] Smells a bit like

[00:17:43] Cherryade

[00:17:44] What is he, sex?

[00:17:45] Don't avoid the subject

[00:17:46] Janet

[00:17:46] Alberto Salva

[00:17:48] You know his name now

[00:17:49] What do you want from me?

[00:17:51] Alberto Salva

[00:17:52] Died in 2003

[00:17:53] In an apartment fire

[00:17:54] In Las Vegas

[00:17:55] So either

[00:17:56] You're being stalked

[00:17:57] By someone claiming

[00:17:58] To be the electrician

[00:17:59] You mentioned

[00:17:59] Or you're being

[00:18:01] Tormented by a ghost

[00:18:02] Or

[00:18:03] You're deliberately

[00:18:04] Lying to us

[00:18:05] Which one is it?

[00:18:07] I know what you're

[00:18:08] Trying to do

[00:18:08] What am I trying to do

[00:18:09] Janet?

[00:18:10] You're trying to

[00:18:10] Paint me

[00:18:11] As the villain

[00:18:12] Victim blaming

[00:18:14] Have you been

[00:18:15] Taking notes from him?

[00:18:16] This all just a coincidence?

[00:18:18] You do live for drama

[00:18:19] Don't you, Janet?

[00:18:21] How dare you

[00:18:22] You get me on

[00:18:24] To diminish my work

[00:18:25] Make me name Salva

[00:18:26] You dredge up

[00:18:27] These horrible memories

[00:18:29] I just did this

[00:18:30] Because it's the

[00:18:30] London Podcast Festival

[00:18:31] It's a big deal

[00:18:33] To some people

[00:18:37] You're trying

[00:18:38] To mess with my head

[00:18:39] First you say

[00:18:41] I bullied the writers

[00:18:42] Then you accuse me

[00:18:43] Of creating a toxic

[00:18:44] Work environment

[00:18:45] And endangering

[00:18:46] Those that worked

[00:18:46] With me

[00:18:47] Whoa

[00:18:48] I didn't say

[00:18:49] Any of this

[00:18:50] You didn't have to

[00:18:52] It's all written down

[00:18:53] Isn't it?

[00:18:55] I'm sorry

[00:18:55] Not that anyone

[00:18:57] Would believe you

[00:18:57] It's all speculative

[00:18:59] Sensational bullshit

[00:19:00] To sell your

[00:19:01] Tawdry rubbish

[00:19:02] So you have read

[00:19:03] My book

[00:19:05] I thought you

[00:19:06] Didn't know

[00:19:06] Who I was

[00:19:07] Oh

[00:19:08] I know

[00:19:09] Who you are

[00:19:10] Natalie Hope

[00:19:11] You and all the other

[00:19:13] Internet journalists

[00:19:15] With no quality control

[00:19:16] No accountability

[00:19:18] No training

[00:19:19] No talent

[00:19:21] And no fucking clue

[00:19:23] Just a keyboard

[00:19:24] In today's opinion

[00:19:25] Ending your sentences

[00:19:27] On a preposition

[00:19:27] You fucking hack

[00:19:30] Well that's not

[00:19:31] Something I'm aware of

[00:19:32] You see

[00:19:36] So what is this

[00:19:37] Where you expose me

[00:19:38] Janet

[00:19:38] Oh

[00:19:39] Don't flatter yourself

[00:19:41] Natalie

[00:19:41] I wouldn't waste my time

[00:19:43] This interview

[00:19:44] Is over

[00:19:45] Because you've only

[00:19:46] Got half the story

[00:19:47] Haven't you

[00:19:48] What?

[00:19:49] I was there Janet

[00:19:51] Eyes of the leper

[00:19:51] I saw what you did

[00:19:53] No one in the industry

[00:19:55] Really paid any attention

[00:19:56] To you

[00:19:56] Did they

[00:19:57] Never took you seriously

[00:19:58] As an actress

[00:19:59] Then suddenly

[00:20:00] Somebody in the cast

[00:20:02] Of Eyes of the Leopard

[00:20:02] Dies

[00:20:04] Gregory Mancini

[00:20:05] Killed by a stray

[00:20:07] Flamethrower

[00:20:09] It's a tragic accident

[00:20:10] A one-off

[00:20:12] Then

[00:20:13] A child gets strangled

[00:20:14] By an animatronic arm

[00:20:15] And nearly dies

[00:20:16] Word gets out

[00:20:18] About these events

[00:20:19] And everyone's eyes

[00:20:20] Are suddenly

[00:20:21] On this production

[00:20:22] Their eyes

[00:20:23] Are suddenly

[00:20:24] On you

[00:20:25] And you needed them

[00:20:26] To stay on you

[00:20:27] I don't know

[00:20:28] What you're talking about

[00:20:29] I wandered around

[00:20:30] The set a lot

[00:20:31] You didn't notice me

[00:20:32] But I noticed you

[00:20:34] The way you treated him

[00:20:35] The way you treated everyone

[00:20:37] You always had to

[00:20:39] Get your own way

[00:20:40] No matter what

[00:20:41] One tragic accident

[00:20:42] After another

[00:20:43] Soon the rumours are

[00:20:44] That this production

[00:20:45] Is cursed

[00:20:46] And you milked that

[00:20:47] For all it was worth

[00:20:49] What are you implying?

[00:20:51] I spied you

[00:20:52] Cutting cords

[00:20:53] Maneuvering props

[00:20:55] Drugging coffees

[00:20:56] I couldn't say anything

[00:20:57] Because you were the star

[00:20:58] No one would believe me

[00:21:00] I was just a child

[00:21:01] Who are you?

[00:21:02] Surprised you didn't

[00:21:03] Recognise the name

[00:21:04] Hope

[00:21:06] Only ten years old

[00:21:07] But giddy to be

[00:21:08] On a studio set

[00:21:09] Watching my brother's

[00:21:10] Written work

[00:21:11] Come to life

[00:21:11] Do you remember

[00:21:13] Victor Hope?

[00:21:15] Trapped in his room?

[00:21:16] Severe burns?

[00:21:17] Critical?

[00:21:19] I guess not

[00:21:20] Since you never

[00:21:21] Dealt with the writers

[00:21:22] It's just you

[00:21:23] And the camera

[00:21:24] Right?

[00:21:25] This is beyond ludicrous

[00:21:26] And if anyone

[00:21:27] Cottoned on to what

[00:21:28] You were doing

[00:21:28] You could just

[00:21:29] Get rid of them

[00:21:30] Another victim

[00:21:31] Of the cursed

[00:21:31] Eye of the leper

[00:21:32] No one would think

[00:21:33] Otherwise

[00:21:35] Gregory Mancini

[00:21:36] Victor Hope

[00:21:38] Alberto Salva

[00:21:38] You don't know shit

[00:21:40] You did have a stalker

[00:21:41] Janet

[00:21:41] But you killed him

[00:21:42] Immediately

[00:21:42] Although you kept

[00:21:43] Up the pretense

[00:21:44] That you were being stalked

[00:21:45] Just to add to the

[00:21:46] Drama of it all

[00:21:47] And guess what?

[00:21:49] You've kept it up

[00:21:50] Ever since

[00:21:50] Even tonight

[00:21:51] No one is following you

[00:21:53] Janet

[00:21:53] They haven't done that

[00:21:54] Since 1981

[00:21:55] You little bitch

[00:21:57] Shame they didn't

[00:21:58] Bring you back

[00:21:58] For the sequel

[00:21:59] Guess they wanted

[00:22:00] To start from scratch

[00:22:01] New writers

[00:22:02] New studio

[00:22:03] New cast

[00:22:04] After the whole

[00:22:05] Cursed production

[00:22:06] That's why they didn't

[00:22:07] Ask you back

[00:22:07] For the remake either

[00:22:12] You think you're

[00:22:13] So clever

[00:22:15] I turned them down

[00:22:16] I didn't need it

[00:22:18] I never needed it

[00:22:20] Janet

[00:22:21] Janet

[00:22:23] Put down the knife

[00:22:25] Another studio

[00:22:26] Was offering me

[00:22:27] Seven times

[00:22:28] What Eyes of the Leper

[00:22:29] Was

[00:22:29] To do an erotic

[00:22:30] Thriller in Bulgaria

[00:22:32] Really?

[00:22:33] Really?

[00:22:34] Yes

[00:22:34] And do you know

[00:22:36] What that film was called

[00:22:37] Little Miss Horror Film?

[00:22:38] Um

[00:22:40] Sparkle Tits

[00:22:41] Yes

[00:22:43] Sparkle Tits

[00:22:44] Except in America

[00:22:46] Where it was called

[00:22:47] Down below

[00:22:51] Do your fucking research

[00:22:55] I should have killed you

[00:22:59] When I had the chance

[00:23:00] You think I didn't see you

[00:23:02] A random child

[00:23:02] Wandering around a film set?

[00:23:04] You stuck out like a dildo

[00:23:06] In a glass factory

[00:23:08] You think that animatronic arm

[00:23:10] Was by accident?

[00:23:12] That was you

[00:23:13] Like I said Natalie

[00:23:15] We're all close to death

[00:23:17] There's no such thing

[00:23:19] As a cursed production

[00:23:20] There's only me

[00:23:22] I am

[00:23:51] Every single death

[00:23:52] Is traumatic

[00:23:53] And getting

[00:23:55] Decapitated by your own

[00:23:56] Meat cleaver

[00:23:56] In a car at 90 miles per hour

[00:23:58] Is hard to process

[00:23:59] But

[00:24:00] There's no rhyme

[00:24:02] Or reason for it

[00:24:03] It's not like it was planned

[00:24:05] It was just a coincidence

[00:24:08] I wouldn't say it's a curse

[00:24:10] There are no curses

[00:24:11] If anything

[00:24:12] It was a blessing

[00:24:13] We moved past it

[00:24:14] And made the film

[00:24:15] That's so loved

[00:24:16] And remembered today

[00:24:32] That's all we have time

[00:24:33] For tonight folks

[00:24:34] Thank you so much

[00:24:35] For coming

[00:24:36] And don't forget

[00:24:37] To smash that like

[00:24:38] And subscribe

[00:24:40] And cut

[00:24:48] Well

[00:24:49] Shit the crypt

[00:24:51] I guess the moral there is

[00:24:54] Never online review

[00:24:56] A serial killer

[00:25:02] Good night

[00:25:04] Mutantes

[00:25:05] And keep the fear

[00:25:07] In your ear

[00:25:13] No
