*So
Demona, can you start us off with a visual and
describe the room where you're answering these
questions.
It would be my
pleasure...The room was indeed very and probably
the spookiest room in that movie. The walls were
full of bloody wicked old dolls. They are all
different and some are broken, evil, and crazy
looking', etc... Inside that room I went through
different emotions and communications with the
other side/spirits. They found a way to enter my
mind and take over my thoughts and body forcing
me to be someone else and controlling me with
their desire to make me evil. The room is filled
with their voices in my head in which are driving
me insane to the point that I do the extreme,
some really deadly and unexpected things. But the
only way to find out the rest is by watching the
movie. I have some very intense parts in there.
Trapped by them and being forced to do what I
don't want to do. There's also an awesome scene
with a baby and on... that scene I recommend
parents not to let their kids to watch it.
*You star in
horror movies like the above you describe above
in 'Prison of the Psychotic Dead',
make Goth music, are a Goth model, and have
created this wonderfully dark persona. Do you
have some first memory of this...or looking back
when you were a little girl or adolescent are
there a couple instances where you think,
"That kid was destined to grow up to be a
Goth Goddess".
Ha-ha
well thanks very much! As far as I remember I
have always been attracted to the dark side in a
limited way. I enjoy doing anything that has a
good quality, good enough to create whether it's
dark or ancient where things were more pure. I
have been involved into the world of modeling,
theater/acting, music and dancing ever since I
was 5 years old. Getting involved in school
projects was how I discovered my own ways in the
artistic world. I have always been open to any
kind of projects such as Victorian Times and
etc...But for some odd reason I seem to attract
the horror and dark artists and filmmakers of
this era. I have always been comfortable being in
my own skin indeed. I have never felt the need to
become alike someone else as some do. No offense.
I like to be unique and different enough to where
it is still consider classy and seductive at the
same time. Well, in this life time; I'm
definitely pursuing what I have always wanted to
pursue and I'm happy about it. Making different
movies, creating different styles of music that
reaches all kinds of creatures in many different
genres, artistic modeling should be just as easy
for me as changing clothes... if you know what I
mean.
*Tell me about
your role as Aurora in 'Prison of
the Psychotic Dead'. How did the
role come about?
The role
to me was my favorite not because it was my role
but the fact it resembled me more. Since I'm
attracted to the spiritual world, I'm spiritual
and I'm a spirit lover, communicating with the
other side is an honor for me. So I had no
problems having to create and becoming the
character, it flew smoothly as I went along with
the acting. I never rehearsed, I just memorize my
lines. I believe I become more natural as an
actress in time of "Action"...it all
comes naturally to me as we go along. I consider
a gift in which I'm thankful for it. It goes
something like this...I first picture the story
my head how it would be and how it should be and
than I create the moment as I'm entering my zone
meeting my new persona within me that will make
the director and also the audience satisfied. I
feel it works out better that way with me. And
gladly I have never had a problem with that
because my devotion to my job as an actress is
pure and real with honor. In which leads me to
give the best in me from the beginning to the
end.
*How did you
relate to your character?
At
moments...I felt close to my character, it was a
given. Only in the sense of that she is calm but
when something hits the fan...ha-ha...as some
might know me...she is tough in her own
controllable ways. Kidding! I enjoyed being that
character very much! She was strange, of course,
I wouldn't do most of the things that she had
done in the movie but I do admire her
powers/abilities as a psychic and a medium...this
opportunity to experience the unknown is a
pleasing sensation.
*Can you give
us a teaser for the movie that will make it
irresistible to the www. racksandrazors. com
readers.
Oh Boy
good question Owen... Now you got me there. I
would defiantly say the beginning of the movie
already starts with an interesting view as well
as the Doll Room scene in which will captivate
the audience quickly. The spooky monster and
crazy characters, some special effects are also
really cool. It's for you to watch and for you to
judge!
*I also want
to hear about your role as Faith in 'Descent
into Darkness 2'.
That is a
movie that me and the fans are craving to watch
it on DVD someday. It was a great experience! I
was the lead vampire Faith, the innocent girl who
was corrupted by the Master Vampire...he is the
one that gave me the eternal life without my
consent. As I turned into a vampire in the
beginning at times I did not realize I was
drinking from the human blood and would become
very disturbed about it until...you'll have to
wait till the movie comes out. I've always wanted
to make a vampire movie as well as I wanted to
make all kinds of movies. Being a vamp was
sensual and interesting. When I was invited to
pursue this role as a vampire I did not think
twice about it. I was ready in a heart beat to
become this character. I loved it! In case the
fans are wondering, unfortunately, this was not a
love story. Sorry! Anyways, it was filmed in
Ohio, a movie by Vamping You Productions. The
story is about this modern vampire that don't
want to be a vampire but so she is doomed forever
more. You can find the trailers online such as
MySpace website and YouTube.com today as well as
my other stuff that is in there too such as my
music videos from "Synthetic
Darkness"(Innocence Lost) In which was
created indeed for the 'Prison of the Psychotic
Dead', "Hail Pomba Gira" and etc...
*Tell me about
your music. Who are your influences and what do
you try to do or convey with your songs?
I make
all kinds of music experimental, Goth,
industrial, rock etc... I use different artists
and musicians from around the globe. You may take
a listen to them on: www.
MySpace.com/DemonaBast there it will
lead you to my other musical variations, pages
and etc...My music comes from the depths of the
mind in which words are created from the beyond
of my deepest thoughts. Many will understand
where I'm coming from just as well many will
don't. I tend to make sounds that will deliver a
unique atmosphere. These are included amongst the
hypnotic tunes I choose to lay upon them all are
just ideas of my mind and some you may find
wicked while some may fall in love and encounter
a combination of exotic, ritualistic, film
friendly yet radio friendly vibrations to your
pleasure. My influences are life and death.
Mysteries, experiences and suggestive
thoughts...I listen to mostly underground
music...a whole world that many should explore.
It just seem more tasteful to me...it's the stuff
that they don't play in the radio these days.
Music that has character! Now a days everything
sounds the same, excuse my honesty; such as music
in which I'm not interested like "Britney
Spears" and the "The Backstreet
Boys". Some of the bands/musicians I prefer
to support are Diamanda Galas, Diary of Dreams,
The Doors, Pink Floyd, The Sounds of Solace; I
also appreciate world music from countries such
as India, Brazil, Italy and Germany...etc...I
feel that I lot of good music came from the old
Times though...they were deeper, words and sounds
were penetrating and were like they should be...
respected. Now and days...people just write
anything that comes to mind quickly just so they
can make a buck, put out an album that has not a
strong meaning as they use to in my opinion.
*I've heard
you say you are attracted to dark and mysterious
things, but is the attraction mutual?
I'm
seduced by darkness-Darkness is seduced by
me...Most of it is for entertainment, of course,
as well as some I include into my personal life
in which I view it in a something more positive
than most of us do. Darkness to me is calm,
relaxing but yet vivid in its own ways in which
only rays of its beauty could be viewed by the
ones with a more open minded. There's beauty in
darkness! It all depends how you view it...I
don't ignore darkness or light, in light I gather
my sources...in Darkness I create from the
sources I encountered with the light. They need
each other no matter what.
*Have you had
any otherworldly encounters - ghosts or hauntings
or UFOs?
I believe
so, when I was as growing up I've had my
experiences with the unknown, spirits and UFOs
and most are respected and some accepted by me. I
respect their worlds as much as they respect
mine, there for; we all get along just fine. I
did have some pleasant & unpleasant
encounters with spirits before... though I know
how to manage. Mostly I attract the worthy ones
from my existence. For the unwanted knows what
I'm capable of. As for UFOs, I have only witness
them flying in the sky. And no; I don't do drugs!
Some body needs to be responsible.
