Scarred For Life

This week we're joined by actress Cassandra Naud and filmmaker Kurtis David Harder, some of the talent behind the latest twisty thriller Influencer, which is currently playing on Shudder. We discuss filming in Thailand, their nuanced approach to discussing social media influencers, Kurtis's work with his filmmaker friends (including Rob Grant, our first interview ever!) and more. Then we dig into their childhoods, briefly touching on Kurtis's scarred for life moment with Signs before exploring why Goosebumps TV show episode "It Came From Beneath the Sink" terrified her so much as a kid. We discuss RL Stine's legacy of scary kids and teens, and Cassandra shares a sweet story about Katharine Isabelle! You can follow Cassandra on Instagram and Twitter.
