00:00Hi, Mason. Hi, Madeline. Hi, Ashley.

00:03Congratulations on the return of Gwen, Finn, and The Grabber, I guess.

00:07Yes, thank you.

00:08Thank you, thank you.

00:10What was the first thing that came to mind when you read the script about The Return?

00:16It was a lot colder.

00:18Shocking.

00:19Yeah, a lot scarier.

00:21And, yeah, I mean, if you thought The Grabber was creepy and scary in the first movie,

00:25then I think you'll really enjoy or hate what he is now.

00:28So, yeah.

00:30Yeah, it was very interesting to see how Scott and Cargill came up with such an iconic idea for a sequel.

00:38So I was very invested while reading the script to see how they did it.

00:42I think it's so beautifully done.

00:43Ice skates.

00:44Ice skates.

00:45Ice skates.

00:45Iconic.

00:47No, definitely.

00:48And I love the whole style of the dream sequences and the real world, if you will.

00:54But in a way, it almost felt like a tribute to standing up to bullies.

01:01Won't you agree?

01:02I think that is 1,000% a very valid thing to point out.

01:06I feel like we had attributions to that in the first movie as well.

01:11I feel like, at the end of the day, it's not just a movie about, like, you know, this villain, this serial killer who's kidnapping kids.

01:18It's about the true heart of the film, I think.

01:20It's about people.

01:21It's about people.

01:22And just their relationships.

01:23And Finny and Glenn's relationship in the movie.

01:25And, you know, using your voice and not being afraid to speak up and say what's right.

01:29Yeah, definitely.

01:32And what is it about playing in horror films that a person in the cinema might not realize?

01:38I mean, going into it, you'd think it would be absolutely terrifying.

01:42But truly, it's so much fun.

01:44Especially when you have a group like Scott and Cargill and Ethan and our just really fun cast.

01:51We really have a good time because we all just want to make a good movie and have audiences sit down and just be immersed in that world.

01:58And including for this, a sequel to, you know, these beloved characters and just bring them back.

02:04And it's been a long time since we've last seen them.

02:06So just kind of, you know, seeing where they're at and seeing what's happened.

02:10And, yeah.

02:11Yeah, I think the best thing you can do is just keep things light on set.

02:14Especially dealing with, like, dark topics like this.

02:17Yeah, yeah.

02:18Yeah, I can totally imagine that.

02:20And when growing up, were you a fan of horror?

02:24Was horror something that you enjoyed watching?

02:26Hell yeah.

02:27Movies?

02:28I mean, I feel like for me, I was definitely more hesitant to watch horror films.

02:33Mainly because my parents wouldn't let me.

02:35So I'd have to, like, sneak watching them on airplanes and stuff.

02:38But then the more and more my parents actually let me watch them, I've become such a big horror fan.

02:43I now watch horror movies at 1 a.m. just to purposely scare me.

02:47So, yeah.

02:47That's where I'm at now.

02:48Mine's, like, the complete opposite.

02:49I was, like, six years old.

02:51I was being way too loud as a kid.

02:52My mom wanted to shut us up.

02:53So she just set us in front of Friday the 13th.

02:56And it worked.

02:57We were quiet for weeks.

02:59Wow.

02:59But after that, it just kind of, it really, really scared me.

03:06And then I watched the insidious movies, which I hate.

03:10I hate the insidious movies so much.

03:13There's one, like, red demon thing they have in those movies, which absolutely just kills me every single time.

03:18But there's just something about horror movies that it truly can unsettle the hell out of you.

03:23And it's so special.

03:26And if you can capture that more than just once in a movie, it's magical.

03:31So, yeah.

03:32Love them.

03:33Yeah.

03:33It sort of unlocks something primal, you know?

03:36Yeah.

03:36For sure.

03:37For sure.

03:37Emotion.

03:38Yeah.

03:381,000%.

03:39What I always love about horror movies.

03:42And last question, because Halloween is up and coming in Europe.

03:46And I guess you guys are completely grown up with it.

03:50It's quite a Halloween night in America for me.

03:54Hella candy.

03:55A lot of candy.

03:57A lot of costumes.

03:57A lot of walking around.

03:59Pumpkins.

04:00Yep.

04:00Carving pumpkins.

04:01Watching horror movies.

04:02Watching horror movies.

04:03You know?

04:04And just, what I love so much about Halloween is it really just brings everybody together.

04:08Like, you can go as, you know, your own costume and do something really cool.

04:13Or you can pair up with buddies and do something for movies or horror movies or just things you love.

04:17And it's just a lot of fun.

04:19It's a great chance to be creative.

04:20Also, my favorite holiday.

04:22Really?

04:23Yeah.

04:23I love Halloween.

04:24That's interesting.

04:24I love Halloween.

04:25Yeah.

04:26But it's also a nice lesson, you know?

04:28It's like dealing with death, if you will, for kids.

04:31I think that's a great way to look at it.

04:33Yeah.

04:33For sure.

04:34Yeah.

04:34It's a darker way to look at it.

04:35Yeah.

04:36Yeah, definitely.
