Actress madisoniseman on Annabelle scares and her Jumanji future
The actor looks at going from 'Conjuring' horror to an even more secretive threequel to the Robin Williams film: "We had the lockboxes on set this time and had to return our call sheets and passworded scripts at the end of the day."Iseman plays Mary Ellen, the babysitter to a young girl named Judy whose parents happen to be renowned paranormal investigators Ed and Lorraine Warren .
I’ve always been scared of being alone. I still sleep with a light on; I don’t like the dark. When I lived in South Carolina, I babysat all through high school. One time, when I was putting one of the little girls to sleep, she said, “Do you ever see stuff?” I was like, “What do you mean?” and she said, “Do you ever just see stuff around the house?” She just kept saying things like that, so I texted my dad to drive by the house and make sure everything was okay.
Absolutely. It’s so fast-paced. They’ll give the three of us five to ten minutes to prep before a scene, and we’ll go in a closet or private space to talk. You get really close really fast because you’re so vulnerable around each other. We’re picking each other up; holding each other and making each other cry. We filmed over two and a half months, and now I’m super close with both those girls. We also got to be part of the casting process for a very long time, which was cool.
I think one of the hardest emotions, personally, is actual fear. You can make yourself sad; you can make yourself laugh with a bunch of dumb jokes. But, to actually be authentically scared of what’s in front of you is really hard to fake. If you think of every time you’ve ever been scared, it’s on a whim and if you see it again, you’re probably not going to be scared of it. So,is probably one of the most difficult films I’ve had to do just because we’re scared the whole time.
