ECHG is proud to present the I LOVE THE 80s Panel from HorrorRealm. We sit down with Diane Franklin (Amityville 2, Better Off Dead, TerrorVision, Bill and Teds Excellent Adventure, The Final Interview) Suzanne Snyder (Night of the Creeps, Weird Science, Return of the Living Dead 2, Silver Spoons, Killer Klowns From Outer Space, Seinfield) Jill Schoelen (The Stepfather, Phantom of the Opera, Popcorn, Curse 2) and Amanda Wyss (Nightmare on Elm Street, Fast Times at Ridgemont High)

This panel features actresses Jill Schoelen (The Stepfather, The Stepfather), Diane Franklin (Amityville 2, Better Off Dead, TerrorVision, Bill and Ted’s Excellent Adventure, The Final Interview) Suzanne Snyder (Night of the Creeps, Weird Science, Return of the Living Dead 2, Silver Spoons, Killer Klowns From Outer Space, Seinfield) and Amanda Wyss (A Nightmare on Elm Street, Fast Times at Ridgemont High). They discuss their experiences making iconic 80s films, including the emotional intensity of horror roles, working with Wes Craven and Robert Englund, and the business challenges of auditioning. The discussion concludes with reflections on the enduring quality of 80s cinema, which they attribute to it being the “last era” where art and creative vision dominated the industry before the takeover by businessmen [43:33].
