Standish913.com has been blessed to do an exclusive interview with...
"CRAIG DWSETT"!
Let's get into some exclusive questions...
STANDISH: Since our last interview in 2023, what has Craig been up to?
Since our last interview, its been a crazy busy time for me over the last 2 years, I've been on the comic con tour world wide, meeting all the fans which has been amazing! Plus i have now started writing and directing my own movies with my directional debut coming with “Bigfoot Primal Fear”
STANDISH: What first drew you to the horror genre?
Ive always had an interest in horror movies so naturally i wanted to act in one, so to of been the first childhood story monster is pretty cool!
STANDISH: Do you personally enjoy watching horror movies, or do you prefer acting in them?
I like to do both to be honest. Its great to act in them, but also great to sit back and chill and watch a cool horror movie.
STANDISH: How do you mentally prepare for intense or disturbing scenes?
To mentally prepare myself for intense scenes i just practice a lot both physically and mentally, so when the cameras roll I'm ready to go. If you know your character and lines then that is half the battle won.
STANDISH: Have you ever had nightmares after filming a horror project?
Ahh no, no nightmares im a pretty chilled guy, not a lot bothers me.
STANDISH: What’s your favorite horror movie of all time (outside of your own work)?
My favourite horror movie of all time is A Nightmare On Elm Street. Such a classic and kind of the god father of horror movies in a way.
STANDISH: Do fans ever approach you with unusual or scary encounters because of your role as Winnie?
Ive been quite lucky in that respect. But i do recall someone screaming at me once for ruining their favourite childhood character. Plus the odd death threat here and there on social media.
STANDISH: What’s the most challenging aspect of working with heavy makeup, prosthetics, or special effects?
Its very challenging wearing a full head mask in a film. Its heavy, hard to breathe, hard to hear anything and very hot inside. So you need to overcome all those aspect's first and then concentrate on the acting part.
STANDISH: If you could play any iconic horror character from the past,, who would it be?
I would love to play Michael Myers, or Jason Vorrhees. That would be an amazing experience.
STANDISH: Are you working on anything apooky for us?
So coming soon is my directional debut in the horror film “Bigfoot Primal Fear” and cameras roll soon on my next action feature film “Retribution” so keep an eye out for those.
