‘My Best Friend’s Exorcism’: Meet the Stars Of Prime Video’s Must-Watch Halloween Movie [Video Interview]
Author Grady Hendrix is an extraordinary contemporary horror writer and one of my all-time favorite authors. From Horrorstör to The Final Girl Support Group, Hendrix knows how to craft the perfect scary story. That’s why I’m excited to explore Prime Video’s adaptation of his novel My Best Friend’s Exorcism, directed by Damon Thomas with a screenplay written by Jenna Lamia.
Today I sit down with the four young stars of the film, Elsie Fisher (Eighth Grade), Amiah Miller (War for the Planet of the Apes), Cathy Ang (And Just Like That…), and Rachel Ogechi Kanu (Cheer for Your Life). We talk about what makes this story so perfect for Halloween-time viewing. We also discuss which horror movies scare them the most and if they’d ever go near a Ouija board. Check out the interviews below.
My Best Friend’s Exorcism synopsis via Amazon Prime Video:
Surviving the teenage years isn’t easy, especially when you’re possessed by a demon. It’s 1988, and best friends Abby (Elsie Fisher) and Gretchen (Amiah Miller) are navigating boys, pop culture, and a paranormal force clinging to Gretchen like a pair of neon legwarmers. With assistance from overly confident mall exorcist Christian Lemon (Christopher Lowell), Abby is determined to compel the demon back to the pits of hell—if it doesn’t kill Gretchen first. At turns horrifying and hilarious, My Best Friend’s Exorcism pays homage to 1980s pop culture with a totally timeless tale of terror and true friendship.
