You're so

sweet.

I think what I learned about Alison is that she is very calculated and every moment is like, yes, she's a malicious bitch.

No, she's very calculated in that every moment is so intentional.

And I think she's one of those performers that you can't really see what's happening until it's on the screen and you're like, oh, I didn't even see that her, she was thinking that, or she was like feeling that way and like, You are just a classic performer in that you come so prepared and you don't need to make it about yourself, but it doesn't stop you from giving a very complex and thorough performance.

Thank you.

And I think that... those are constantly battling within her.

Yeah, I think Chris has this She, in her head, she's almost like this orchestra of like, she's deciding, you know, what goes where, when, based on all the evidence that she's been taught by her parents.

And, and, and Josie, I'll, I'll, I'll kinda throw something similar to you too because when, when you see these characters, do you sign up because you work one with Flanagan? Do you sign up because you get to remake a classic in a different sense? Or do you specifically see this character and go, "I can play that"?

Well, I think, I mean, Mike Flanagan, like, he is just so amazing, and, like, I ...

My best friend's obsessed with him and, uh, watches all of his shows and has watched them multiple times.

So every time I've ever had a sleepover at her house, it's, like, Hill House or it's Usher.

And I, when I was auditioning, I watched his filmography kind of, um, from the beginning, like starting with, uh, Oculus and, and Hush and Before I Wake and all, all of his films and then kind of just became obsessed with him myself.

Uh, but then, of course, I got the audition, and it was just, like, a, a desperate, like, drunk girl, um, just being a bitch.

And I was like, "Honey, th- this is my role."

Mm

Should we be scared?

I mean, so many reasons.

One, it's a Mike Flanagan show.

Literally everything Mike Flanagan has done has been amazing.

Let's talk about the number one rated horror show in the world, Haunting of Hill House.

Mm-hmm.

Of course, Mike Flanagan's creation.

Two, it's based on one of the best books of all time, Stephen King's Carrie, and we pay tribute to that while also creating new elements that make it super relatable, but also just, like, fun to watch.
