-->The video interview is quite lengthy, with Findlay discussing how terrible the film is, shooting at the black arts shop The Magickal Childe, casting Pam [=LaTesta=] as the killer, her hatred for the horror genre, her promotional dealings with Jack Daniels (her particular favorite brand of booze), stories about the special effects, working with the young ingénue lead actress, and lots of other info in this lengthy video piece. Unfortunately for her fans and followers, her send-off to the camera is a tirade AGAINST her fans! She calls them sick and crazy and admits to sicking the police on them!
