The
Arrow interviews Rachael Robins
The sweet and lets face it, every
male genre fans’ dream girlfriend, Rachel Robins has appeared in
various PlayBoy
videos, one Troma
film, soft core gems of the likes of
Vampire Lesbian Kickboxers (must rent
film) and more recently in The
Screaming Dead. Well I’m wooed! Can you
spell “marriage material”? I sure can! I recently had the chance to
ping-pong with the lovely lady and here’s what she shot back at me.
What’s your
favorite horror movie?
I have 3 favorite Horror
movies: 28 Days Later, House of 1000 Corpses, and Silence of the
Lambs
What’s your
favorite snack to eat while watching a horror movie?
My all time favorite e
snack to eat while watching horror movies is a big ole tub of
popcorn with a bag of Raisinettes dumped right into it! Salty AND
sweet at the same time! Yum.
How did you get
into modeling? Was it a long time goal or did you fall into it by
fluke?
I got into modeling when
I fist moved to NYC. I was working in a popular club as a bartender
and I kept getting approached by photographers to do testing. I
accepted their offers and the modeling gigs started to come soon
after. I always wanted to be in front of a camera, still or movie. I
was a natural ham from the get go!
You’ve partake in
a Vegas bit called “Pieces of Ass”; what is the show exactly about?
“Pieces of Ass” is an off
Broadway show about hot chick angst. It’s a monologue show, kind of
like the Vagina Monologues, but way better. All 12 monologues are
true stories that happened to the girl that performs it. The girls
all write their own pieces. The show is in a constant state of
change, because when one girl leaves another replaces her with a
whole new story. We also had a long list of celebrity centerpieces
that would guest star for a day a week, or even a few months.
We had Catherine Hickland
(from “One Life to Live”), Carol Alt, Janice Dickenson, Brooke Burke
(from E!), the Coors Lite Twins, and on and on. For more info about
the show go to

. We started out in NYC at on off off Broadway theater, moved to Off
Broadway, went out to Hollywood for 5 months, then we moved to the
Joint in the Hardrock hotel in Vegas, then ended up at an amazing
theater complex in NYC. It’s been a great ride.
You’ve also
branched out into genre acting with more recently The Screaming
Dead; would you describe your experience on set to be a positive
one?
My experience on the set
of The Screaming Dead was the best I’ve had to date. Great actors,
great crew. Just an overall fun movie to shoot. I’d be right there
if they wanted to do Screaming 2. And yes, it is actually scary
WHILE your shooting a horror movie.
Do you feel that your modeling
experience helped you in any way shape or form when it came to
acting?
Modeling definitely
helped when it came to acting. Seeing a ton of pictures of yourself
forces you to come to know how you look good and how you look bad.
Most of the films that I’ve done have cast me as the hot chick so it
would behoove me to know how I look good. It’s so cliché, but I do
know my good side!!!
What would you
say was your most challenging scene to shoot in The Screaming Dead?
The hardest scene to
shoot in SC was the scene where I was being stretched on the torture
device. I was on that sucker for a whole day!!!I was sticky from the
fake blood, being constantly sprayed down with luke warm water, in
my undies, spread eagle. It was a long day. Oh, and you have to be
really careful when you are emulating cries of pain, they can very
easily be mistaken for orgasmic noises if done wrong.
Any plans on
acting in more horror movies down the road?
I would love to do more
horror movies. For any of you horror filmmakers out there, you can
reach me at

What’s next for
you career wise? Where will we see you next?
Next I would love to get
a hosting gig and maybe do some musical theater. I am taking singing
lessons from the most amazing coach in the universe, so in a year or
so you might catch me in Chicago or Cabaret (even if it’s in some
place like Tallahassee or Michigan!)
I’d
like to thank Rachael for dropping by the site and sharing the love
with us. All the best with your varied career and keep rocking!
