The fact that I've been in several of them is completely coincidental, it’s not even that I’m a horror person, and I want to do a bunch of it.īut my first movie ever was The Last Winter. You can put them in an extreme and give it some sort of metaphor or symbolism around what’s really going on. I think what’s kinda cool about it is that you can take the yucky parts of us and really magnify them. What attracts you to the genre, and why do you think it’s good for these sorts of allegorical stories? You’ve appeared in a lot of horror over the years, including The Purge: Anarchy and now Midnight Mass. Getting to watch the episode was even more haunting than I thought it would be. Nothing but her screams, even over the credits.” And that was so haunting. Even on the page when I burn up in the boat, it says, “We pull out on Erin screaming.
I get to the end of episode four and I’m like, “Aw fuck, I’m dead in four?” And then I come back and five is this super heavy episode. I knew I was gonna die at some point, because I was only in six out of seven episodes, but I had no idea how or when. All I knew was the logline of “A young priest arrives in a small island fishing town and strange things start happening.” And I don’t even know what this show is about. So all I had was these two scenes, and for an audition they were amazing scenes. And I love that kind of stuff where it just makes you feel uncomfortable while you’re watching it, but his cinematography is beautiful and his storytelling and the characters he develops. It’s not even scary, it’s just a little creepy, maybe. The word “horror” is such a large umbrella and when we say it people are like, “I don’t like that,” but it’s not gory.
He does the horror genre in a different way. All I knew was who my character was, what Mike had done before, and that I was a big fan of his. I auditioned for the show only getting to see two scenes. I know you’ve talked a lot in the press about what happens to Riley’s character, but it still caught me off guard. Spoilers for Netflix’s Midnight Mass to follow.
