SKSM: You worked with Joseph Horning on this film, how was that?
Michelle Hill: Joe is an awesome guy. Very professional and cool under adverse conditions, like the weather we had! Snow and 9 degrees outside.
SKSM: Was there any funny or special moment when they made the movie that you would like to tell me about?
Michelle Hill: Of course the best moment was when the cops showed up over the extra vampire that went into town to use the restroom in full makeup and bloody clothes. On the way back to set, the assistant driving didn’t dim her headlights and they were pulled over by the police. So they had to follow them back to check stuff out. It was definitely one to remember.

Michelle Hill: Oh yes. Great bunch of folks. I keep in contact with my best friend Lisa Hinds who introduced me to the Dollar Baby films and was also an extra on this film as a vampire. We talk daily. Mostly I keep up with everyone like Eric, Sandy, Joe, Chris, and Curtis on Facebook and Twitter.
