Lauren-Marie Taylor always wanted to be a veterinarian. However things changed very early in her life while on stage, performing in a production of "Oklahoma." After being seen by a talent agent, she starred in television commercials until 1981 happened.
That year she played the role of Vickie in Friday the 13th Part II: the sweet innocent girl next door who was trying her best to show off her "bad" side and seduce the character of Mark, all before being slayed by Jason Voorhees.
There is much more to Lauren-Marie than just her time in Crystal Lake and we're going to discuss that as well. What was it like working with Dan Akroyd and John Belushi in Neighbors? How is it transitioning from film to being on a soap opera for twelve years? And how did her comeback to acting happen, starting with the horror film In a Violent Nature?
All that and so much more in this fun and entertaining interview!
Acting has always been a passion for Beatrice and in 1989, she entered horror history by landing the role of Amanda Krueger, mother to the iconic slasher movie villain Freddy Krueger, in A Nightmare on Elm Street 5: The Dream Child.
Although Amanda Krueger may be the role Beatrice might be known for, there is so much more to her than that. A life that has spanned multiple countries, Beatrice definitely has a story to tell: teaching English in Taiwan, living in India and nearly becoming a monk, and becoming a yoga instructor after moving back to the States while continuing her break from Hollywood.
The acting bug eventually bit her again and she's been in countless independent and short films in the last few years. What's it like getting back into the swing of acting? How does she feel when she sees all the love for her character after all these years? What was it like playing the mother of yet ANOTHER horror icon?
From acting with Johnny Depp and Emilio Estevez to writing a book about Amanda Krueger, to co-writing and co-producing her first dramatic short known as "The Final Walk," there are lots of things to talk about with this well-traveled actress.
Fresh out of NYU, a young Adam Marcus was given the keys to the kingdom and had the task of directing Jason Goes to Hell: The Final Friday, the ninth film in the Friday the 13th franchise. Perhaps one of the most polarizing entries of the series, Adam has heard both the highest amount of praise and the lowest amount of hate. What inspired Adam to start making films? What is it about writing strong female characters that he loves? How difficult is it when dealing with 19 producers on one film? How does it feel all these years later to see all the love and support of Jason Goes to Hell after dealing with all the negativity?We also jump into his love of art, French films, his production company known as Skeleton Crew, his upcoming documentary on Jason Goes to Hell (which he initially had no interest in making) known as Hearts of Darkness: The Making of the Final Friday, and much more!
James Fury has quickly become one of my favorite independent pro wrestlers for many reasons: his confidence and cockiness on the microphone, his intensity in the ring, and the way he interacts with the crowd. Love him or hate him, he always gets the fans reacting.
A lot has happened for James since his early days as a backyard wrestler and we'll dive into that. What keeps him motivated to continue on this journey that's only three years in the making? How did he go from a young kid with self image issues to the confident man we see in the ring today? Where did this fury come from? What is it like running your own promotion?
Future goals, the importance of self promotion on social media, self confidence, and many other things are discussed in this at times quite inspiring interview.
In the beginning of the new millennium, Jewel De'Nyle was taking adult films by storm. Winning the "Best New Starlet" was only the beginning as she won "Female Performer of the Year" the very next year. Known for her intense performances and no-nonsense attitude, Jewel seemed unstoppable. In less than 5 years in the business, she was already running her own production company.
And then it ended.
After a business deal gone wrong, Jewel left the adult film world and disappeared for years. Now after all that time, she's made her presence known again on social media and is reuniting with her fan base as well as making new fans in the process.
In this interview, we'll learn how Jewel got started in adult entertainment. Did she prefer shooting pictorials over being on film? Why did she leave and what had she been doing while gone?
We'll also get to know her outside of adult films and get to know her personally. What's life like as a former beekeeper while now living in the deep dirty South. We'll also delve into her belief in the paranormal and some experiences she's had. There's even a discussion on her thoughts of artificial intelligence and today's generation of adult performers.
Get ready for perhaps the interview with the smallest filter yet as we talk to this proud member of a time in adult films that is long gone.
In the mid 2000s, Insane Lane was literally carving a name for himself in the world of deathmatch wrestling. Working for well known companies like IWA Mid-South, IWA Deep South, and even occasionally Combat Zone Wrestling, Lane's reputation was growing. Frequently entering tournaments like The King of the Deathmatches, The Tournament of Death, and Carnage Cup (which he would eventually win), he was gaining a big following.
And then he just disappeared.
He was gone from wrestling. His social media had disappeared. But then suddenly...he was back, only to vanish yet again.
Lane has once again returned to officially have the last match in his career.
In this interview, we're going to meet "Lane," the man behind "The Mental Messiah," and find out why he left multiple times only to now have his last moment in the sun. We'll get personal and focus on the mental health struggles he's dealt with. Have they been conquered? Why did he disappear a few years ago after what seemed to be a career rebirth, which included returning to both the King of the Deathmatches and Tournament of Death? Finally, why did he return for these two final matches and how were his opponents decided?
All of this plus stories about wrestling Mickie Knuckles, Tank, Spidar Boodrow, and Freakshow. We'll even hear his side of the story concerning a backstage incident with another deathmatch wrestling legend.
How does one process going from a world of razor wire boards and baseball bats covered in shark teeth to the simple life of just being "Lane?" Join us as we find out.

Adam Marcus joins Patrick, Al Lucard and myself for this informative interview.

Cunningham, his problems directing Val Kilmer, his passion for his newest movie Secret Santa, and his upcoming JGTH documentary known as Hearts of Darkness.

It's been quite some time since the last interview and I didn't want to keep anyone in the dark about what's going on. Here's where I am and here's where the show is going.
Dr. Redacted has taken the Deathmatch world by storm. From his explosive entrance that involves shoving the fans to his use of trash cans and darts as weapons, it's hard to say that Redacted doesn't get the biggest reaction when on the wrestling card for the night.
In this interview, we'll talk about his life as a Deathmatch wrestler, his still rising popularity, and even his recent trip to Japan. We'll also learn a bit about the man behind the doctor. A lover of all things nerdy, we'll also discuss his passion and love for things you might not expect a Deathmatch wrestler to enjoy: Disney, comic books, and even The Muppets.
