[Interview] ‘Your Monster’s Kayla Foster and Edmund Donovan Talk Halloween Party Scene
Your Monster is a romantic comedy with a horror edge as sharp as a blade (or a broken ruler), in theaters now, with a never-better Melissa Barrera falling in love with her inner monster, set mostly around Halloween, and we talked to cast members Edmund Donovan and Kayla Foster, who also serves a producer, earlier this week about shooting the pivotal Halloween party scene, which marks a turning point for all of the characters that shapes everything that happens after.
The film tells the story of the soft-spoken actor Laura Franco (Melissa Barrera), who is dumped by her longtime boyfriend (Edmund Donovan) while recovering from surgery and retreats to her childhood home to recover. With her future looking bleak, insult is added to injury when Laura discovers her ex is staging a musical that she helped him develop. But out of these gut-wrenching life changes emerges a monster (Tommy Dewey) with whom she finds a connection, encouraging Laura to follow her dreams, open her heart and fall in love with her inner rage.
The film is written and directed by Caroline Lindy, starring Melissa Barrera (Scream, Scream VI, Abigail), Tommy Dewey, Edmund Donovan, Kayla Foster, Meghann Fahy, Brandon Victor Dixon, Ike Ufomadu, and Lana Young.
Your Monster is currently in theaters.
