Jane Goldman

I've always been drawn to spooky things, to the unusual, to things that are dark but in a friendly way.

Establish character - otherwise, it is difficult to connect with what is frightening.

You need to be invested in what happens. The characters are your conduit to the story. Many modern horror films are fun but not frightening because one has not connected with the characters.

I was a bit challenged when I was younger to stay on the right path.

I don't think I was a good model. I think I was born to emote and act. I would walk down the ramp and smile and they used to say, 'Give us a blank look.' It was really difficult not to smile.

When I do my makeup, it kind of helps me get into the character that I'm trying to portray.
