Episode 89: Interview with the magnificent Stacey Nelkin (casted as Ellie Grimbridge) in Halloween III: Season of the Witch (1982)

I had the esteemed honor and pleasure of speaking to the very impressive and spectacular Stacey Nelkin who portrayed 'Ellie Grimbridge' in John Carpenter's Halloween III: Season of the Witch. She spoke of her role and how she was excited to act in the movie (even though she is not a fan of horror) but still she performed exceptionally well. She also gave away some behind the scenes secrets of the special effects in her death scene (which was really cool to hear, by the way) and there is nothing better than practical special effects.  Currently, Stacey is working as a substance abuse professional and Certified Alcohol and Substance Abuse Counselor (CASAC) helping those who are suffering from mental illnesses, giving back to the community and exhibiting as a role model. And for that, I have a lot more respect for her.  Stacey is also a successful author for the book, "You Can't Afford to Break Up: How an Empty Wallet and a Dirty Mind Can Save Your Relationship" published in 2009.  Overall, great interview and make sure to check out her short scene in Scott Goldberg's "The Forest Hills" where she worked alongside the infamous Shelley Duvall, Dee Wallace, and Edward Furlong.
