Fright Night Horror

From directors Goh Ming Siu and Scott C.Hillyard, the provocative horror-thriller fixes on 50-year-old Jim who has constructed a perfect life in the world’s most expensive city. When he is unexpectedly laid off, he desperately clings onto the symbols of his success, while wrestling with resurfacing demons from his past.   Where are we speaking to you from today? Scott: We both live and work in Singapore. And was the pandemic as punishing on you, as a filmmaker, as it was most others in the game? Ming Siu: Work-for-hire pretty much dried up, and I didn’t have income for over half a year. Then writing trickled back in slowly as production started up again with safety measures. Scott: The entire industry was put on pause for awhile. But when restrictions began to lift, everything started pouring in. We were actually in the middle of our festival run when the pandemic hit. And it’s kind of funny because we were in a lot more festivals once everything went virtual. Ming Siu: That meant ...

When did you first become interested in writing? I seem to have been born with a burning need to write -- not just recreationally, but professionally, as well. I felt it in my gut at an early age and I still feel it now. I was born to do this -- I’ve never been more certain of anything in my life. At the time I decided to get serious about writing, I figured I couldn't be any unhappier than I already was, so I might as well take the leap. It’s the best decision I’ve ever made. It’s never felt like work for me, even though it is -- it’s very hard work. I’m always learning and looking for new, stronger ways to tell the story I’m working on. How did you get involved in fantasy/horror? While I’ve always been a fan of the genre, I never set out to be part of it. I just wrote the stories that wanted to be written and let the publishers, readers, and bookstores decide what to call it. Tell us about your first publisher. Like so many others, my first publisher is now out of business -- a ...

Thanks to Horror Channel, TALES FROM THE LODGE recently had its UK TV premiere on British TV. How did that make you feel? So excited! I know a huge amount of people watch the Horror Channel so I’m hoping it opens TFTL up to a whole new audience. Looking back to its showcase screening at FrightFest in 2019, what are your abiding memories? It was a wonderful experience! FrightFest has long been one of the highlights of my year. It was thrilling enough to have my short film Vintage Blood play there in 2015 so to have my debut feature accepted (for the main screen, no less) was massive! Horror comedy is notoriously difficult to get right. What were the biggest challenges for you as writer & director? It really is a fine balance but my biggest challenge was in making the moments of horror convincing, even when they’re ridiculous. I didn’t want the audience to think it was lame! I have to give the actors credit too. They knew what genres they were playing in and they knocked it out of ...
