Emily Booth has a wealth of experience both in front of and behind the camera. As a result, the British horror actress and face of television’s popular Horror Channel is better placed than most to comment on the current state of the horror genre, and its place in contemporary entertainment. Embarking on another year reporting from FILM4 FrightFest on behalf of Horror Channel, she took time out of her schedule to tell Cleaver Patterson why she believes horror is still important in our culture and how she finds the real world much more disturbing than anything ever shown on the screen.
Emily Booth: To be honest, real life scares me. The news scares me way more than any horror film. I think about this all the time. I’m a mother of two children and it does make a difference. I still love my horror movies through and through, but the more I see of the real world and the news the more I realise how much fun horror is because it’s usually pure fantasy. On film though, zombies, werewolves and vampires don’t scare me. Humans, men, scare me and also good old fashioned supernatural. In terms of dreams, the concept of war and the knowledge that a plane with bombs is coming and there’s nothing you can do scares. At least with a serial killer you could outrun him, you could fight back. You might actually make it if you’ve got some savvy and a knife blade or a good punch. You could potentially survive a madman. But a plane loaded with bombs. No, you’re not going to do very well.
