“When I thrust her hand forward, which was holding the buck knife with my hand over it, towards Elijah...the scream that she gave me was just, delicious.” - Christine Mancini, Psychologist, Actor, Creeptastic Broad
This week on The RuggedAngel Cast, I sit down with Christine Mancini, a dynamic psychologist by day and a terrifying scare actor by night. Christine shares her unique journey from her early days of basketball and military service to becoming a seasoned scare actor at Pittsburgh's ScareHouse. We delve into her love for horror, her past as a professional wrestler, and her current roles in web series such as "Mother In Law" and "The Incredible Cases of Zara Gordon."
Christine recounts her experiences in scaring people (notably Elijah Wood) to the point of making them cry, scream, and even soil themselves. She also discusses the intricacies of her acting roles, including the challenges of fight choreography and the joy of making people genuinely frightened in haunted attractions. Tune in for a fascinating conversation about the art of fear, the psychology behind it, and the thrill of immersive horror experiences.
