Written and directed by Jared Cohn, Halloween Pussy Trap Kill Kill tells of an all-girl rock-n-roll band called “Kill Pussy Kill” that ventures out on Halloween night to play their biggest show to date. However, before hitting the road they manage to unwittingly upset a man. Unfortunately, this man turns out to be an evil genius dead set on revenge.

Stear also worked with director Cohn on The Domicile, Buddy Hutchins, and Evil Nanny, among others.

When did your film career kick off?

My first acting job was General Hospital.

And since then, who have you enjoyed working with the most? Any filmmakers that really impressed you?

I have worked on many projects with Jared Cohn and Gabriel Campisi. We have produced projects together and the three of us have a great relationship. I respect their drive and commitment. I’ve learned a lot from them both over the years.

Onto the latest project. Where were you when you got the call or email about the project?

I was at home. Jared Cohn called me and said, I think I have something for you that’s edgy and I think you would crush it.

What were they looking for in the part, do you recall?

Many of the scenes are very intense and I think they were looking for someone who could bring intensity and realism to those hostile moments.

Was a nice team onboard?

Cleopatra is great! Shout out to Brian Prerara, Jared Cohn, and the entire Cleopatra team.

A film is only as good as its director. Agree?

Honestly, I feel it takes a team. There are so many moving parts in making a film and they must all come together as a perfect storm for the film to be great. Does the director captain the ship? Absolutely! However, I think critics can be harsh at times on the director of films.

Do you find yourself offering suggestions to filmmakers and producers? Are they usually open to it?

I have; however, it really depends on the circumstance and who you are working with.

Can you think of any examples?

For example, the blonde hair was a suggestion I made to give my character DJ Speed (HPTKK) a more alternative/punk feel.

What are they using for blood on films these days? Corn syrup?

Yes, and a combination of other things. I was covered in it for days.

How do you mentally prepare yourself for some of the film’s tougher moments?

Most of the scenes were very intense so I listened to a lot of Cypress Hill, Megadeath, and Alice in Chains to get my mind in an intense mode. I also binge watched the SAW franchise, and drank plenty of energy drinks

You’re an answer on a trivial pursuit game card. What would you like the question to be?

What’s my favourite food? SUSHI

Finally, best horror film of 2017?
