The
Arrow interviews Robyn Griggs
Once
a soap star on “One Life to Live” and “Another
World”, then a Scream Queen in “Zombiegeddon”,
“Dead Clowns” and the upcoming “The Demons 5”
and now the head Mistress behind the upcoming TWISTED NIGHTMARE
WEEKEND horror convention, Robyn Griggs has been through many
incarnations over the years, but three things were constants
throughout: she’s always been an intelligent, motivated and
particularly hot lady. Here’s Robyn!
ARROW:
What’s your favorite horror movie?
ROBYN: Hmm,
I love Phantasm, My Bloody Valentine, Subspecies, Halloween, the
exorcist…geeez. I love them all!!!!!!!!
ARROW:
You used to be a soap opera regular on “One Life to Live”
and “Another World”. How did you wind up knee-deep into
the horror world?
ROBYN: I
grew up watching Horror Movies with MY brother and I just always
wanted to be involved somehow. I think it is really exciting
and how neat to watch the fx artists and everyone get made up. It is
great and being involved is a dream come true!
ARROW:
You’ll be appearing in “The Demons 5” alongside genre
icons Kane Hodder, Robert Englund, Gunnar Hansen, Cassandra
Petersen, Bill Moseley among many others. What can you tell us about
your role?
ROBYN: I
can’t really tell you much about my role. But I can tell
you this much: this movie is going to be AWESOME!!!! The script is
amazing!!!!
ARROW:
Are you at all intimidated to be starring alongside such a slew of
horror stars?
ROBYN: YES!!
I mean, these are horror icons, they are the best in the biz. I am
going to walk around with my autograph book, for sure.
ARROW:
What was it about “The Demons 5” screenplay that appealed
to you?
ROBYN: I
think the idea is really appealing and also how they are approaching
it, they are doing this very professionally and that is
probably why they have such a great cast.
ARROW:
You’re also launching your own convention in September (17th-19th)
called “Twisted Nightmare Weekend’. What prompted you to dive
into that aspect of the genre industry?
ROBYN: When
I first got into the horror industry 2 years ago, I was booked at
some conventions and I was told, ‘Hey, you have a great talent for
business and also for being an honest person, you should try
this’… and here I am, I hope they are right…hahahaha.
ARROW:
What can fans attending this particular convention expect?
ROBYN: What
they can expect is a clean run show with lots of very personable
people. One thing I do not tolerate is Divas. If you are a
guest at my show, you better love the fans or you can leave. That
is what it is about. The fans and telling people we will continue to
make horror films 🙂
ARROW:
Any crazy parties going on at the Con?
ROBYN: Of
course! Would you think a fake blonde like myself wouldn’t have
crazy parties…..LOL.
ARROW:
What other projects do you have lined up in the near future?
ROBYN: I
am playing the lead role of Delores in “Aberration
Boulevard”, “The demons 5”, of course, and “Dead
Clowns” opens in the UK August 23rd, I believe. I’ve also been
cast in two films by twisted insomniac productions, one is a comedy
called “Drunk”, the other is called “Erie”. Not
to mention, I have a CD I have just finished with Matthew Jason
Walsh called “Loves Young Nightmare”.
ARROW:
Any plans of one day writing or/and directing your own horror
features?
ROBYN: Yes,
I am currently working on my own horror screenplay, so far I am
really enjoying the aspect of writing, it’s like I can put life into
my ideas, it’s really neat and when I get an investor, then it
definitely will have LIFE! I love very twisted moments and making
sure it is scary!
ARROW:
Your weekends…how would you describe them?
ROBYN: Right
now my weekends have been filled with anything to do with the
convention. It’s weird to have time off to do this, I feel like
I am doing something wrong by not shooting right now. I am
really having fun, but I am definitely looking forward to getting
back to shooting!!
I’d
like to thank Robyn for gracing the site with her wits and her
beg-for-ice-cream looks. Be sure to check out “The Demons
5” and attend the Twisted Nightmare convention…both sound
like a horror hoot and a half!
