Dear Owen, I am writing in a pink room with fairy wallpaper, a huge black chandelier, lilac shag-pile squishing between my toes and a lush, plush chaise longue.

Why don't you tell me a little bit about your role as Victoria in the new film 'Evil Calls'? What attracted you to the project and can you give us a teaser that is going to make it irresistible to fans?

To tell the truth it was a nice little film to work on, but I can't remember too much about it as it was rather along time ago. Quite an odd mix of people on set including Robin Asquith, Rik Mayall, Jason Donovan and Norman Wisdom!! I wasn't sent a copy of the film, so I can't really comment on how it turned out. Richard Driscoll who produced, wrote. directed and starred in it is sulking with me - HIS LOSS!!!

You also have another new film due called 'Timo Rose's Beast'. How did your participation as Lydia as well as your role as an associate producer of the film come about?

I was offered the part by an American producer as well as involvement as an associate producer.

With the help of Nigel Wingrove you started Redemption Films, a horror distribution company. What was your original plan of action for the company and how has that evolved into what is now known as Salvation Film.

The original idea was to promote and distribute horror films by up and coming directors. Also we re-licensed classics by directors such as Mario Barba and Jean Roland, fighting tooth and nail against the censorship of James Firman who was head of the BBFC at that time. Of course things have evolved over the years, but we still hold true to our original aim to give lovers of the genre great films.

Your role as Lilith Silver in 'Razor Blade Smile' (1998) is one of your most popular parts. What about making that film sticks out most in your mind a little over a decade later?

Cat suit and weather.

Eileen you also have done some very controversial sex scenes for your movies like the fellatio scene 'All About Anna', the vampire lesbian scene in 'Razor Blade Smile' and of course the stump kissing scene with a cripple in 'Cradle of Fear'. When you are presented with a script what are your limits when it comes to sex. Do you have any if it is part of the character?

I'm just looking for a new kind of kick, something I ain't had!!

I also want to hear a little bit about your band The Courtesans. What sort of genre is it? What sort of venues do you play? What direction is the music headed in?

I love my band "The Courtesans"; we've been playing all over London in venues big and small, and this is what the press has to say.....Fronted by the fabulous Eileen Daly (also known as the scream-queen of British horror films), The Courtesans are a gypsy glam rock & roll band. They specialize in dark tales in waltz time, sleazy tales set to deadly swing beats and swampy arabesque stomps. Their set travels from Louisiana to Peckham via Berlin and they invite you to join them on their wild and entertaining voyage!

Small budgeted horror movies are often the place of some very surreal, insane, and hilarious. Given your many films in that genre 'Sentinels of Darkness', 'Kannibal' with Linnea Quigley, 'Cradle of Fear', 'Witchcraft X: Mistress of the Craft', 'Darkness Surrounds Roberta', etc. - what is the most outrageous thing you have yet to witness on a film set?

I was doing a film in Brighton with Doug Bradley and we had to re-shoot an entire day, as the cameraman had dropped some acid and got a little over creative!!

You have so much going on. Tell me a little about your column in Darkside magazine. What is going to be the focus of it?

Basically I took on the column to promote independent filmmakers as well as alternative writers, artists and musicians.

Do you have any other upcoming projects you would like to let the Racks and Razors readers know about?

As I mentioned earlier on I've got a new vampire movie 'Little Miss Macabre' , three other horror films and of course my band The Courtesans.

Back in the late 50s they had the series of movies 'I Was a Teenage Werewolf' and 'I Was a Teenage Frankenstein'. If they were to make a movie about Eileen Daly's teenage years it would be called 'I was a Teenage _______________________.

'Nightmare', because..........I'd try anything

Okay, we're pulling the car into the Eileen Daly Drive In. Which three favorite horror movies are going to be on the triple bill for tonight and what goodies are they going to be serving up at the concession stand?

'Frightmare' (uncut), 'I Spit on your Grave' (uncut), and 'Driller Killer' (you guessed it.....uncut. On the concession stand I will be serving up cold liver soup.

What was the first movie to scare the shit out of you?

'The Exorcist'

What scares you in real life?

Humans
