Behind the Screams #8: ‘SLASHED! the Musical’ Director Chelsea Stardust

 

Hello, Boys and Ghouls. Kat here. Welcome to Episode 8 of our Behind the Screams series, where we explore the world of fear, shock and horror by talking to tastemakers in the genre. Today on the show: director and producer Chelsea Stardust! Chelsea is smart, talented and has had a horror education that most of us would kill for...Recently, she took on the challenge of directing for the stage, which we talk about in this interview. ‘SLASHED! The Musical,’ a killer comedy musical love-letter to the classic 80’s Summer Camp Slasher Genre, premiered earlier this year at the Hollywood Fringe festival to rave reviews, and Kat talked to Chelsea in-depth about what it was like bringing it to life. Stay tuned at the end of this episode to hear a track from the show! Finally, a quick note: this interview has been banked for several weeks, so you’ll hear Chelsea talk about two huge influences for her, George Romero and Tobe Hooper, both of whom had not passed away at the time of this recording, otherwise, we would certainly have talked about it.
