Interview by Jeff Hayes
Erin has enjoyed an acting career since she was around 10 years old and as fate would have it, RTSC was set to become her first horror credit. Due to the sometimes grueling schedule and last minute change in her "attempted murder" scene, Erin and I missed each other during the last few days to shoot an "on set interview" for the DVD. But, have no fear, Erin is here now and she's ready to talk camp...

How did you get involved with RETURN? |
|
| EB: | |
Fate, I suppose, if you believe in that sort of thing. Or maybe just pure luck, really. My manager set up the audition a few weeks before filming was set to begin. They called me back, and back again, and for some reason they ended up casting me. Thank God! |

What did you think of the script when you first read it? |
|
| EB: | |
Scary stuff!! |

Had you seen the original SLEEPAWAY before shooting and if so, what did you think of it? |
|
| EB: | |
I went out and bought the original as soon as I got word about the audition…had to be prepared when I met Robert [Hiltzik]! Now, I've always been a fan of horror movies, but I'd never seen anything like Sleepaway Camp. The murder scenes were really out there and especially gruesome. Not to sound sick here, but I really enjoyed it…An incredible mix of suspense and gore, right up my ally! Ha! But really, I knew as soon as I saw the original that I was on board for the sequel. |

I read that you played Patrick Swayze's daughter in "Black Dog" back in the late 90's, how old were you when you first started acting and how did you get into acting? |
|
| EB: | |
Oh yes, back in the day! I started as a kid, ten or so years old, and rolled with it when I started landing gigs on soap operas and commercials. My mom and dad played a huge roll in my success; they shuttled me back and forth to the city for auditions on the regular (thanks guys!). "Black Dog" was my first feature. It was big budget and action-packed! Patrick was great to work with, as were the rest of the cast and crew. I’ve been lucky to have such great experiences with all the people I’ve worked with. |
| JH: | |
What do you have in common with "Karen" and what are your differences? |
|
| EB: | |
I think Karen truly has a good heart. Despite the fact that she had a big part in tricking Alan, she was the only one who felt guilty after. That poor kid, what they all put him through! Like Karen, I’d feel wretched if I had any part in playing pranks like that! |
|
| JH: | |
What was your favorite scene to film and why? |
|
| EB: | |
They were all really cool! Running through the woods screaming my head off…why not! But seriously, my final scene was my ultimate favorite. Noose around my neck and all. |
