Season 5, Episode 64: Interview with Megan Franich (Iris) from “30 Days of Night” (2007)

Often do I catch myself watching a movie about Dracula style vampires but the way they're depicted in 30 Days of Night are how I'd imagine vampires would be in real life- brutal and near indescribable killing machines. That premise being vampires being allowed to run berserk in Alaska during a 30-day period when there is no sun to force them into hibernation during the day. It’s simple yet fresh enough to maintain my interest.What an amazing and talented actress! Megan portrays one of the best female vampires in one of my favorite vampire movies. I’d like to brag about Megan’s talents and the ability to endure such a role; I am sure that it wasn’t easy to film a movie in just 33 days.But there is more! Megan talks about how much fun it was to play a vampire alongside Danny Huston and how much she enjoyed the makeup process. And for those that don’t know, 30 Days of Night was NOT filmed in the extreme cold of Barrow, Alaska, it was filmed in a hangar. The small town which you see in the movie was a set constructed in a hanger… Mind totally blown. To make the interview more interesting, Megan talked about the deleted/alternate scenes that did not make it in the final cut. However, I would have loved to have seen those deleted scenes. You can still watch this amazing vampire movie on Xumo Play, Google Play, Apple TV, YouTube, Amazon Prime, and Fandango at Home.
