Interview with a Scream Queen

"Extraterrestrial Frights and Scream Delights: Exclusive Interview with Scream Queen at Area 51 Museum!" www.youtube.com/c/JudyCerda

1. What was your first acting job in a horror movie and how did you get the part?

?I acted in several horror short films and horror feature films so it's hard to say which one was my first.? But I will say that one of the first was the feature movie Tele-Zombie that I acted in as Hazel, a dingy hairdresser whose coworker gets murdered by the zombie.? A funny fact about that is that the actor, Dane Andrews, who played the actual Tele-zombie is a very good friend of mine now and we go out and socialize together a lot plus keep in constant contact.? I was asked to play this role after the director saw me in a dramatic movie called "Borderlines" wherein I had the lead role of Susan.? After that, I was cast in several of Miss Misery's horror movies including "Monster of Golden Gate" and Forgotten Tales.? I became known as a "Scream Queen" after that and continued to act in many more and was interviewed in many horror magazines.?

2.?What’s your favorite horror movie you acted in?

? I enjoyed all of them but if I had to pick a favorite, I'd say it's a tie between "Satan's Cemetery" wherein I had the lead role of Raven Belladonna, and "In Three Days" wherein I had the lead role of Gina.? In Three Days has been in several film festivals and won awards for best special effects.? I also enjoyed playing "Maria" in El Camino very much.

?3.??How did you get into voice-over talent?

Somebody heard my voice in a movie at a film festival and liked my voice very much.? I was asked to do some voice-overs for their website.? Then I had a professionally made voice-over reel made and started sending that out to casting sites who were casting voice-over talent.? That led to more jobs.??

4.?What is your favorite modeling job?

Again, I've enjoyed so many of them so it's hard to pick.? But I would have to say that my favorite modeling job was modeling for Avatar's store catalog in Santa Cruz.? I modeled a lot of their clothes and the store catalog turned out great.? I still have a copy of the catalog and enjoy looking at it from time to time.

5.??As a Model, Actress, Singer, and Voice-Over Artist, which do you do you like best?

Acting.? Although I started out as a singer and dancer in many musicals as a teenager and continued doing this into my early 20s, it was film and TV acting that was always my goal.? I love acting on TV shows and have been in many shows playing different roles.? Acting in movies has been a wonderful experience for me and something I will always do, as long as I still get good roles in good projects.? I have learned so much by playing different roles, being on different sets, and seeing myself on the big screen in movie theatres and on the TV screen in different shows.? It's a great occupation and it makes life exciting.

6. What are your current plans?

I recently finished filming an action movie called "The Ghost of Annie Lee" playing the lead role of Darby Lee.? It's an action-comedy movie with some big names in it including Robert Miano.? This movie will be released next year.? I am attaching the movie poster here.

Also, I had the role of Macy O'Connor in a thriller movie called "River of Ghosts" which played at a theatre in Mendocino County and has won awards in Canada and Palm Springs at their film festival’s. This movie is doing a screening in Beverly Hills on November 2nd and will be released to different venues in January 2024.

I am filming a short movie tomorrow called "Abduction of Jean" playing the prostitute, Amanda.? This is part of a horror web series.

I recently played the social worker in a short horror film called "John Bullock".
