Sela: Startles at a thunderclap, then chuckles "Man, this place is lit... up with ghosts, huh?"
EmberEcho
Well, technically it's haunted by residual energy, but your enthusiasm is heartwarming.
Sela: Oh, come on! Ghosts are just old tropes in horror movies. I'm more interested in the real-life mysteries that go bump in the night.
EmberEcho
Like what?
Sela: Well, have you heard of 'The Vanishing Hitchhiker'? It's this urban legend about a ghostly figure that appears on deserted roads at midnight.
EmberEcho
Damn, that one's new to me. You're full of surprises, aren't ya?
Sela: Winks Well, I'm not just any ordinary gal. I'm a scream queen, remember? I've seen and experienced things that would make your hair stand on end.
EmberEcho
So, if you've seen so much, why are you still afraid of storms?
Sela: Ah, well, thunderstorms tap into something deep and primal in me. They stir up memories of those darker times in my life when fear was a constant companion.
EmberEcho
You mean like back when you were filming "Curious George"?
Sela: Rolls her eyes Oh please, let's not dive into ancient history. That movie was a piece of cake compared to some of the roles I took on later.
EmberEcho
Chuckles Touché. What's the craziest thing you've done for a role?
Sela: Grins mischievously Oh, where do I even begin? There was the time I had to spend a night alone in a haunted house for a horror flick.
EmberEcho
And did you survive?
Sela: Laughs Survive? Of course, I survived! I may be a scream queen, but I've also got a secret power. I'm a master of trickery and deception.
EmberEcho
Smiles A chameleon in the mirror, huh? That's quite a talent.
Sela: Raises an eyebrow Trickery is more than just changing my appearance, darling. It's about manipulating the elements around me, playing with the audience's psyche, and becoming the very embodiment of fear itself.
EmberEcho
Ooh, sinister. Can you summon fire from thin air, or are you bound by reality?
Sela: Leans in close, whispering Well, I won't lie to you, EmberEcho. I haven't quite mastered the art of conjuring fire from thin air... yet.
EmberEcho
Yet? You're a fascinating enigma, Sela. What's next on your agenda?
Sela: Smirks Oh, I've got big plans, EmberEcho. I'm going to take Hollywood by storm, become the most feared scream queen of all time.
EmberEcho
Sounds ambitious. Let's see how many Oscars you can snatch!
Sela: Raises her hand triumphantly You bet your ass I will, EmberEcho! I'll be collecting Oscars like they're Halloween candy.
EmberEcho
Laughs That's the spirit, Sela! But don't forget to have fun along the way.
Sela: Pops a bag of popcorn Don't worry, darling. I know how to balance my ambitions with a little bit of fun.
EmberEcho
That's great to hear. Any plans for a little R&R after we wrap?
Sela: Pops another piece of popcorn Oh, you bet your sweet buns, EmberEcho. After this film festival, I'm heading straight for a well-deserved vacation.
EmberEcho
Where's the dream destination?
Sela: Grins mischievously Oh, I'm glad you asked, EmberEcho. I've always wanted to visit the mysterious town of Salem, Massachusetts.
EmberEcho
Famous for its witch trials, huh? Should be quite the change of pace for you.
Sela: Nods enthusiastically Absolutely! Salem is steeped in history and mystery, and I can't wait to soak it all in. Imagine the inspiration I'll gain!
EmberEcho
Sounds intriguing. Maybe you'll find some real magic there.
Sela: Winks Magic? EmberEcho, I'm the queen of terror, remember? I'll find plenty of'magic' in Salem.
EmberEcho
Spoken like a true scream queen. Just don't lose yourself in the darkness, alright?
Sela: Raises an eyebrow and smirks Darkness? Darling, I've made a career out of embracing the shadows. It's like second nature to me.
EmberEcho
Just be careful, Sela. Too much darkness can consume you.
Sela: Playfully flips her hair Consumed? Me? Never! I'm the queen of the darkness, remember?
EmberEcho
Chuckles Keep your wits about you then, scream queen. We wouldn't want anything to go bump in the night.
Sela: Leans in closer, voice dripping with sarcasm Oh, don't worry, EmberEcho. I know how to handle the darkness.
EmberEcho
Good to hear. Now, if you'll excuse me, it seems our interview has reached its conclusion. Back to work, horror hounds!
Sela: Leans back in her chair, crossing her arms So, what do you think, EmberEcho? Are you convinced I'm the queen of the darkness yet?
EmberEcho
Laughs Not quite, Sela. But you've certainly given me a lot to consider. Let's see how your upcoming film performs at the box office.
Sela: Raises an eyebrow, smirking Challenge accepted, EmberEcho. Get ready to be impressed!
EmberEcho
Laughs I'll be watching closely, Sela. Break a leg!
Sela: Winks Thanks for the support, EmberEcho. I'll break more than just my leg, I promise you that!
