 Ex-Marine
and actress Seregon O\rquote
Dassey seems destined for big
things in the horror world. Her
unusual name means Bloodstone,
which is definitely a solid
start. The Allentown PA native
and gorgeous redhead was a former
Scream Queen of the Month and
makes a grisly "splash"
into the world of horror in
'Ghostwatcher 2'. She's also been
an extra in Spielberg's 'War of
the Worlds' , 'False Face' , 'The
Sobbing Stone' , 'Searching for
Bobby DeNiro' , 'Hit or Miss' ,
etc. On TV she's been in 'Sex
& The City' , 'The Simple
Life' , and 'Law & Order'
among other credits and her
impressive print work resume
includes photo essays and shots
in 'Vampirella' , 'Pulse Weekly'
, 'Playboy' , and 'Maxim' . From
this end what more can be said
other than - horror never looked
so good! Hi
Seregon. First off that's such a
unique and interesting name. I've
never heard it before, what are
the origins?
It's
from J.R.R. Tolkein. It means
Bloodstone or Blood from the
Stone.
Very
cool. Can you start us off with a
visual and describe for the www.racksandrazors.com readers
the room where you are answering
these questions?
Well
the physical room isn't very
exciting. It's got lots of books
and files, a computer obviously
and tons-o-clothing! The mental
room is much more interesting.
That has a 4-post bed with a veil
overlay, lots of candles, incense
and all my fan mail!
So
it's really interesting that you
went through basic training as a
U.S. Marine --- how did that
experience help to train you for
the sometimes grueling world of
acting and modeling?
It's
taught me that I can do anything,
no matter what someone else says.
Talent doesn't matter:
perseverance and determination
do. I learned to not listen to
anyone and just do my own thing.
My success is the end result. It
doesn't matter if someone did
better at something than I did,
or got a better review. What
matters is I'm the one still out
there; I'm the one with more pr.
I'd rather that than be a one hit
wonder and stop there.
I
want to hear about your role as
Melanie Cain in 'Ghost
Watcher 2' for David
Cross. Tell me a little bit about
the movie and how your character
fits into the scheme of things.
Melanie
is the over protective older
sister who comes in after the
father dies. She does what she
needs to take care of what's
going on with the supernatural
and is kind of seen as a bitch in
the process, but really she's
just making sure her sister
doesn't get hurt. She gets
possessed at one point, which
makes for a really hot dance
scene!
You
were also recently Scream Queen
of the Month on the popular
website. What are the perks of
that honor and how did getting
the title come about?
The
site www.screamqueen.com
contacted me and asked me to
answer some questions and submit
some photos, as did \cf1\ul http://www.baronvonkropp.com/coverghoul.html .
Since I was in a horror movie I
got a lot of new fans and in a
new genre. I've had fans for a
while, mostly due to my modeling
and other films I've done, but
being a horror actress puts me in
touch with a whole new set of
people. I really like meeting new
fans and have the diverse set of
fans that I do. It also lets
people know I don't fit into just
one category.
I
also am curious about your work
in a bit role in Spielberg's
recent 'War of the
Worlds' remake as a
refugee. What was your experience
of being on the set of that very
big movie?
It
was pretty well organized. 100s
of extras and nothing went wrong.
I didn't get to meet Spielberg or
Cruise, but it was still fun and
a learning experience. I'd
definitely do it again.
I
also want to hear about your
starring role in the upcoming
movie 'Hush'.
Actually
I've turned that down to pursue
another project. That's a feature
called "False Face".
It's about my boyfriend (in the
film) having a gambling problem,
and when he tries to take care of
it, just gets into more trouble.
I play the girlfriend who...let's
say has something happen to her.
I can't say more or I'd give it
away!
Do
you have any other projects in
the offing that you would like to
tell the www.racksandrazoirs.com readers
about?
Yes
actually. In addition to being
the Employee of the Month in
Playboy Magazine (April 2006
which can be backordered) I am
the cover-ghoul of the month http://www.baronvonkropp.com/coverghoul.html I
am the Babe of the Month in New
Jersey's "Fast Lane
Biker" Magazine (I was on
the cover in February this year)
I've been added to this website: http://www.weselectmodels.com/view.php?id=827
and http://www.modellocate.com/model/106
also check my website www.seregonodassey.com
often for updates!
Do
you have a first memory of
wanting to be an actress?
Yes
when I first role-played D&D
when I was about 15. That's what
made me want to take acting
classes. I thought if I liked
doing that and there were people
who were doing it for a living,
why not me?
Horrorwise
we need to know - vampires,
werewolves, ghosts, witches,
aliens, creatures, psychos,
zombies, telemarketers...which
does it for you Seregon and why?
You
mean what do I like the most?
VAMPIRES! Without a doubt! I got
made fun of a lot in high school
but I don't care now. They're
sultry, seductive, and it's a
completely unique non-conforming
way of life. People respect one
another and the beauty of it all
is enthralling.
Okay
we're pulling the car into the
Seregon O'Dassey Drive In. What
three horror movies are on the
triple bill tonight and what
goodies are they going to be
serving up at the concession
stand?
Well
"Ghostwatcher 2"
obviously, LOL. The first
'Nightmare on Elm Street' because
it's the only one that's any
good, and 'Night of the Living
Dead Part 3' - because it's the
most interesting. I'd be serving
ladyfingers, blood pie, and blood
wine (for the Klingon viewers out
there.
What
makes you go psycho in real life?
Bugs.
I hate bugs.
What
frightens you in real life?
Waking
up and finding out I have no
coffee. Then I'll know I'm truly
in Hell...
Egads
that gives me the chills. Thanks
Seregon, and all the best to you.
