Horror works best when it feels like everyone involved is having a blast dragging you into the dark, and that is exactly the energy the cast of Scared to Death brought to WonderCon. In our interview, Victoria Konefal, Kurt Deimer, B.J. Minor, and Olivier Paris talked about wild prop stories, working alongside genre icons Lin Shaye and Bill Moseley, and why horror keeps pulling them back in. The result was a conversation that made Scared to Death sound like the kind of film that leans into supernatural chaos, big personalities, and the sheer fun of getting weird.

Horror Chaos Was Clearly Half the Fun

The cast did not have to pretend the set was fun. They had stories ready to go. Konefal brought up the now infamous fake cocaine prop from one of the film’s funniest scenes and explained that filming it was far less glamorous than it looked.

“What I had to snort was a vitamin B12, which absolutely inflamed my entire system.”
“I was watering, I could barely even speak, but she had to power through.”
“That’s probably my favorite moment, doing cocaine with Lynn.”

That tone says a lot about the movie. Scared to Death does not sound like a grim endurance test. It sounds like a horror set where everyone understood the assignment and committed to the madness. Deimer and Minor also recalled an improvised sequence with Bill Moseley that became one of their favorite memories, which only adds to the sense that the film thrives on looseness, chemistry, and chaotic energy.

Lin Shaye and Bill Moseley Set the Tone

A huge part of the interview centered on what it meant to share scenes with Shaye and Moseley. The cast did not just praise them as horror legends. They talked about how their confidence and playfulness changed the energy on set.

“Lynn, especially, because she was in the possession, we filmed multiple takes of that and she was just so playful and completely confident.”
“Bill was so calming on the set.”
“He’ll be kicking with us and having fun with us on set, and then he’ll snap into character within seconds.”

Minor also shared one of the best takeaways from the whole conversation, repeating advice Shaye gave after the premiere.

“Let the space inform you.”

That is a great acting note, but it also feels like the right lens for a haunted house horror movie. The environment should do some of the work. The cast made it clear that Shaye and Moseley did more than show up with name value. They helped create a set where everybody could relax, play, and go further.

Why Horror Keeps Calling Them Back

When the conversation turned to the genre itself, every answer hit a different part of why horror endures. Konefal praised the way horror lets actors sharpen their tools and explore mindsets they do not usually get to access. Deimer highlighted the loyalty of horror fans. Minor delivered the funniest answer of the bunch by saying she plans to keep doing horror until she finally gets to be a final girl.

“It allows you to showcase your range.”
“Horror is a very loyal, engaged cultural fan base.”
“I’m going to keep doing horror until I’m a final girl.”

That mix of craft, fandom, and personal ambition is probably the best summary of the interview. Scared to Death sounds like a movie made by people who genuinely like this genre and know how much room it gives them to play.

Scared to Death opened in limited U.S. theaters on March 13, 2026, and trade coverage reports it is set to arrive on TVOD across North America on May 5, 2026.
