Off Book #4 – Kate Siegel

I started Off Book so that I could speak to some of the brightest dark stars in the wider universe of horror.

This week that plan comes to absolute fruition – ‘cos Kate Siegel is Talking Scared!

Yes, Kate Siegel, scream-queen of our generation, horror maven, acting superstar and now director of extraterrestrial found-footage nightmare (!!) ”Stowaway.” (a segment from the new V/H/S Beyond)

Kate talks to me about the steep learning curve of making that short, the camera techniques she uses to disorientate, bewilder and horrify. She talks about her approach to finding character, especially in her collaborations with her husband, Mike Flanagan – and she talks about the horror stories she loves most in the world.

She also calls me out very early on. How the hell did I recover??

Enjoy!

V/H/S Beyond is streaming now on Shudder
