EPISODE 4: Terrifier’s Lauren LaVera talks Fame, Fear, and her love of Jackie Chan
This week on the show, Josh and Darren head to the Horror Vibes Coffee Shop in North Hollywood for a candid conversation with rising scream queen and star of Terrifier 2 & 3, Lauren LaVera. From navigating the brutal realities of the entertainment industry to breaking down what really grabs her attention in a script, Lauren offers an honest and insightful look into life as a working actor in Hollywood. She also opens up about her lifelong obsession with Jackie Chan, and what it truly means to play a “final girl” in today’s genre landscape.
So join filmmakers Darren Lynn Bousman and Josh Stolberg as they pull back the curtain on the movie-making process. Whether you’re a film junkie, an emerging filmmaker, a horror lover, or someone who dreams of one day having a career in the entertainment industry… this is for YOU!
