The Cellar's Elisha Cuthbert reveals she literally glued her lips together for House Of Wax
Cuthbert also talked about her time in The Midnight Society for Are You Afraid Of The Dark?
We weren’t especially big fans of The Cellar, Brendan Muldowney’s new feature-length adaptation of his own short horror film The Ten Steps. (More scope, and more mythology, are rarely a good substitute for the sheer gut punch of the horrifying unknown.) That being said, we can’t deny that star Elisha Cuthbert is a highlight of the film, or that she’s put in her time in the spooky movie trenches—something she reflected on in a recent Bloody Disgusting interview promoting the new film.
Cuthbert—who’s been acting since she was a teenager—started by looking back at her time as a member of The Midnight Society on Nickelodeon’s Are You Afraid Of The Dark?, which she joined in 1999 when the show was rebooted (for the first time) with a second generation of campfire storytellers. “It felt like kids camp,” she recounts, talking about weeks of filming in the show’s artificial, indoor forest and its semi-real campfire. “As actors we really felt like we were those society kids.”
