Video Interview! We talk with Lin Shaye about her new film The Call & more!

Coined the godmother of horror, Lin Shaye has been a staple of the genre since the late '70s and shows no signs of slowing down. From the fantastic INSIDIOUS films to stealing scenes in CRITTERS and CRITTERS 2, Lin brings charm, passion, and even a bit of humor to every one of her roles. Let's not forget to raise a drink to one of her scariest characters, the landlady from KINGPIN! She is not only a true legend but an absolute sweetheart as well.

Starring in the new horror film THE CALL (OUR REVIEW HERE), we were able to talk with Lin (via Zoom) about her career in horror, what did she love about THE CALL, working with Tobin Bell, and much more!

THE CALL tells the following story:

In the fall of 1987, a group of small-town friends must survive the night in the home of a sinister couple after a tragic accident brings them to the couple's door.

Check out the interview above, give the trailer a look below. THE CALL hits THEATERS & DRIVE-IN Friday, October 2nd.

About the Author

Video Editor/Critic/Writer

Favorite Movies: Too many to name, but I love the all-time greats, some read more trash, and the schlock in between. For every masterpiece like Shawshank, Jaws, or Casino, I also love movies like Warlock 2, Friday the 13th Part 7, and Trancers 2. I'm a film buff, not a purist.

Likes: I love movies, great food, and unique pets. I’m a lifelong read more film lover, a proud owner of four sugar gliders, and a master of crafting a damn fine Chicago-style pizza.
