Owen: How did you get
started as a Scream Queen?
Pamela:
I worked a lot of different jobs in the
performing arts and then eventually auditioned
for B-movie related jobs and it started from
there.
Owen: Have you always been a fan of the horror
genre? If so what are some of your favorite
movies?
Pamela: Ill
always remember seeing the original 'Exorcist'.
It scared me a lot. But Im not really
a fan of horror. I like a lot of different
genres of movies if theyre good. But
believe it or not, the movies I fall asleep to
are action movies.
Owen:
What are your best and worst film experiences to
date?
Pamela: The worst experiences
that always occur (still) are the attack of
mosquitoes when working out side and in the
woods. No matter how much Off you use their
still there. Chiggers are
another insect attacker. They get inside
your skin and itch for days. Nothing is
worse. The best experience Ive had recently
is shooting the first fight scene for my new
movie, Transformed. I have
pro-martial artists working on the project and
the finished edited version is awesome. Im
amazed at the outcome. That is myself as
the director, not the actress. I also have fight
scenes as the actress and Im looking
forward to the finished version of that as well.
Owen:
What's the most challenging thing you have ever
had to do in a movie to date?
Pamela: Its
always the same, the bugs and being cold. Plus, I
just hurt my thumb in a fight scene. Nothing in
particular stands out.
Owen: Whats the most gruesome way you have ever
died on screen?
Pamela: Probably
that clip that circulated the Internet a few
years back from Jacelone Productions. I
didnt seem like much when we shot it, but
after editing and with the acting included it
made an impact on the audience. It looked so
realistic that it caused controversy.
Owen: Tell me
about the controversy.
Pamela: It seems
the clip of me getting shot in the head looked so
realistic that some people thought that it was.
At one point they played it on Howard Stern and
had a discussion about it.
Owen:
What is something that makes you scream in real
life?
Pamela:
Mice running through the house.
Owen: Do you have any secrets
for letting loose with a really effective scream?
Pamela: I sing so
for me it just comes out.
Owen:
The Gosh Darned Mortgage is a
homage to the 1920s serials such as the 'Perils
of Pauline' what was
your favorite "peril" in the
film?
Pamela: The buzz
saw scene came out the best. Men probably
like that one the best too because its the
most revealing.
Owen: So now that you are directing Pamela, what have
you learned in front of the camera that has come
in valuable behind the camera?
Pamela: Since
Ive been directing, shooting, editing etc.
I found most of my experience to make a good
product came from me as an editor, not an
actress. Thats were you see what it is you
have to work with. You realize what works and
what doesnt involving continuity,
composition, camera angles and the acting. I
think I became a better actress from being a
dancer. It helped my improve skills and natural
movement in front of the camera. So one skill
always feeds another. The more you do the better
off.
Owen: If
someone were to come to you asking advice about
getting into the business what would you tell
her?
Pamela: Have a backup plan. It isnt a career until
you can make enough money to support you. And
thats tough with any kind of acting.
Owen: Do you have a personal
affinity or connection with any monster or
creature?
Pamela: I believe
there are spirits all around us. I know when they
occupy a house. I half sleep and see them all
around me. One time one went into my body from my
boyfriends old house. I went home and then
had the same crazy dreams the next day and felt
it leave my body.
Owen:
What are you working on currently?
Pamela: Im excited about the release of the Zombie
movie I worked on this past summer called Swamp
Zombies Its a zombie martial
arts movie that has pro-wrestlers, The Blue
Meanie, Dan Severn and Jasmin St Clair acting in
it. Lots of effort was put into this
production and I think it will do well. Check is
out at http://www.killerwolffilms.com/ Im also excited
about the release of The Deep
Undead from http://sharkeyvideo.rocks.it/ It took some time to
finish this production but all good things take
time. Im most excited about the new movie
from my production company Transformed

sci-fi type flick with transformations, morphing,
martial arts and sexy women. Its in
