This week we have the star of
Insidious: The Last Key, the wonderful and vibrant Lin Shaye. She speaks with April about the seminal horror film,
The Shining. Lin discusses how it was actually Jack Nicholson who discovered her and cast her in the film that brought her to LA. She also talks about convincing the Farrelly brothers to cast her as the disgusting landlady in
King Pin, working with James Wan on
Insidious, and how she really is game to play any type of character. April also details the intense production of
The Shining, the extreme techniques used to get the desired performance from Shelley Duvall, and the effort that went into the set design. This is a fantastic episode for all those interested in the art of acting.
Check out Lin Shaye in
Insidious: The Last Key in theaters now.
And if you haven't seen it yet, go watch
The Shining.
