Exclusive: We get "Spooked" with Brad Anderson and Jack Noseworthy!
In anticipation of our exclusive web premiere of the horror anthology series Fear Itself, we sat down with director Brad Anderson and actor Jack Noseworthy of the episode “Spooked”. Check out our conversations with the gentlemen below – get a taste of the story, how they kept the scares without the blood, and much more!
Brad Anderson:
“Spooked” is about a cop who, fifteen years earlier, inadvertently murdered a man. When we pick up the story, he’s been thrown off the force and has now become a private detective, and he meets a woman who is looking to have him do some work for her – spy on her husband, because she believes her husband is having an affair. So Harry, our private eye, finds a nice vantage point to spy on this woman’s husband in a sort of creaky old house across the street, and sets up shop there for the stakeout. During the course of the stakeout, strange, scary things start to happen.
It’s a good story. It’s not a typical sort of horror story, it’s not driven by gore or violence necessarily. It’s more driven by the deterioration of this guy’s mental state as he begins to encounter his scariest demons and begins to relive this trauma from his past.
Jack Noseworthy:
You don’t have to show blood and guts for things to be scary. The idea that someone is behind that door can be really scary. Sometimes revealing the person behind that door isn’t necessarily scary, but just the thought that someone’s there, someone’s behind the curtain, that’s frightening. So sure, it absolutely can be as scary. There’s no doubt about it.
