[Interview] Stuart Ortiz and Jessee Clarkson Talk ‘Strange Harvest’ Masked Slasher
A new masked slasher, Mr. Shiny is introduced in the horror movie Strange Harvest, in theaters this week, presented as a true crime documentary spanning decades, and we talked to writer/director Stuart Ortiz recently about his unique approach to the subgenre, and to Jessee Clarkson about playing the film’s killer while also designing his bloody aftermath behind the camera.
In a our video conversation last week, we also discussed designing the killer’s unique mask for Strange Harvest, and of course talked about Halloween and what the holiday means to each of them.
In the film, detectives are thrust into a chilling hunt for “Mr. Shiny”—a sadistic serial killer from the past whose return marks the beginning of a new wave of grotesque, otherworldly crimes tied to a dark cosmic force.
Written and directed by Stuart Ortiz (Grave Encounters), the cast includes Peter Zizzo, Terri Apple, Andy Lauer, Matthew Peschio, Janna Cardia, Travis Wolfe Sr., Christina Helene Braa, and Jessee Clarkson, who also serves as production designer, as Mr. Shiny.
Strange Harvest will be released in theaters this Friday, August 8.
