Young Hollywood

What's going on, guys? Hanging with me right now, I have the cast of Annabelle Comes Home. Woo woo! Ladies, welcome.

Mckenna Grace

Thanks, thanks.

Madison Iseman

We're excited to be here.

Katie Sarife

We're so excited.

Young Hollywood

We love scary movies here at Young Hollywood.

Mckenna Grace

Good.

Katie Sarife

You do too?

Young Hollywood

Yeah, well I figured, right?

Mckenna Grace

You would hope. I would hope.

Katie Sarife

You know what's funny? She has on a Shining t-shirt, and that is collectively all of our favorite movies.

Young Hollywood

Is it really?

Katie Sarife

Yeah, yeah, yeah. I always made a joke. I was like, everyone's gonna think we collaborated and we're like, what's our favorite horror movie? One, two, three, The Shining. What it really is, yeah.

Young Hollywood

That's so fun. And you found that out after you guys met and got to know each other?

Katie Sarife

Yes.

Mckenna Grace

Yeah.

Young Hollywood

So fun. Well, Annabelle Comes Home is the third one. How does this film compare to the other two? What's different? What's more exciting?

Mckenna Grace

I think that it's very different in a way that it has a lot more ghosts and if you're a big fan of the other Annabelle and Conjuring movies, like me, then you'll know that like there's so many artifacts in the artifact room and so it kind of dives into there and shows a lot of the stories behind some of the artifacts. So that's really fun.

Katie Sarife

Yeah. The first time my character went into the artifact room she's supposed to be just wowed and floored by everything and it was so easy to do because I am. I was. And but it's so cool to see all those different things that we all wondered what they were like come to life and the different spirits and stuff. And also there's a lot of comedy and horror mixed in so it's kind of in homage to the whole um 80s horror films as well. So I like that film.

Mckenna Grace

Yeah. It's a roller coaster.

Katie Sarife

Yeah. I know. I mean it's like it always starts one way and like you go up, up, up, up, up, up, up and then it goes like down really fast.

Madison Iseman

Prepare to have fun.

Mckenna Grace

Yeah, there's some really fun characters.

Katie Sarife

Peeing your pants.

Mckenna Grace

There are some really fun characters that I think you'll love.

Young Hollywood

Did weird things happen to you on set? I know that's like such a common question but I'm dying to know because I love that stuff.

Katie Sarife

We had a scene where we were having to creep down the hallway. Um, I don't think it ended up being in the movie ultimately but

Mckenna Grace

Well it was, I think it was, if I I might be wrong, but it was like we we'd finish a take and we'd like walk upstairs at the end of the take. So we're like all by ourselves upstairs, not with the camera crew.

Young Hollywood

Oh.

Mckenna Grace

Yeah.

Katie Sarife

Yes.

Mckenna Grace

Yeah. So cause that's what made it even scarier. And Annabelle is in the room. So this is different.

Young Hollywood

Oh.

Mckenna Grace

Just kidding. Okay. There's so many. We were we were walking down the hallway really slowly. We were like creeping down the hallway and I I was walking and I heard like these three knocks at this one point but I was like it's probably just like a floorboard or something. I tried not to think too much about it because I didn't know if you had heard it. And then we walked back down again after the scene and it happened again. I was like, are you hearing this?

Katie Sarife

Yes. It happened like three times didn't it? It was really weird.

Mckenna Grace

Yeah.

Young Hollywood

Cool. Demons knock in threes, guys.

Katie Sarife

Demons knock in threes.

Young Hollywood

Is that a thing?

Mckenna Grace

It is. It is. It is. Anything that's in threes.

Katie Sarife

Yep.

Mckenna Grace

Yes. Then we opened the door and Annabelle was sitting in a rocking chair in the room. That was terrifying.

Katie Sarife

Yeah.

Young Hollywood

Oh my God.

Mckenna Grace

No. Annabelle was sitting inside of a rocking chair in the room which we heard the knocks coming from.

Katie Sarife

Yeah, that's right. And then they were like, okay guys, we gotta go. And we're like, okay.

Mckenna Grace

There was one time where I would walk past the room. I walked past once Annabelle was sitting in the rocking chair. The next take I walked back up, she was sitting on the bed.

Young Hollywood

Stop.

Mckenna Grace

And then I walked back up after the other take and she was sitting back in the rocking chair.

Katie Sarife

Okay. The producer's doing this to like.

Mckenna Grace

I know. They don't tell us.

Katie Sarife

No. I swear to God. None of us saw them do it.

Mckenna Grace

No, and it was so fast. It was very cleverly done.

Katie Sarife

Movie magic. I don't know. But yeah, there was that day that she was moving around.

Mckenna Grace

Then there was the the cross.

Katie Sarife

Yeah. But then again, I don't trust Mr. Gary so.

Mckenna Grace

No, we can't trust Mr. Gary.

Young Hollywood

With the cross. What happened with the cross?

Katie Sarife

So, we come in this. I'm like, I just jumped straight to this. Am I like, are they messing with me?

Mckenna Grace

No, no, no. This actually happens. This is weird.

Madison Iseman

Madison slammed the artifact room.

Katie Sarife

It's always me. And it's always Madison that's like instigating. So we we slam the artifact room, we're like running out and as we're slamming it the door

Mckenna Grace

The cross.

Katie Sarife

The the door. Yes. There's a cross with a half Jesus on it. On the wall to protect. So Jesus

Mckenna Grace

And Jesus literally goes flying off.

Katie Sarife

The cross.

Mckenna Grace

Jesus just

Katie Sarife

Jesus, not the cross. Just Jesus. So, it's like it's just like it's just.

Young Hollywood

I'm concerned that you guys are like laughing and living normally after seeing all of these things. Like, how are you guys not scared just all the time now?

Mckenna Grace

If we wouldn't be able to make the movie.

Katie Sarife

No. I mean there were times where like we'd be I don't know about you guys but I would be studying lines for the next day and not be able to sleep because I'm it's just hard.

Mckenna Grace

Oh yeah. Mr. And the set was terrifying. Mr. Scary. Mr. Gary scared me so bad. He made me believe that I was abducted by aliens. He's a really mean person.

Young Hollywood

Really?

Mckenna Grace

No. I yeah, I made my mom sleep with me for the remainder of the shoot. It was really mean. He's mean. I don't trust him at all anymore. There's a lot that happens.

Young Hollywood

Well my next question is going to be do you believe in ghosts or that things can be possessed? I feel like the answer is yes for most of you, right?

Katie Sarife

Depends on the day and hour.

Mckenna Grace

Yes.

Young Hollywood

I'm like, okay, so Friday's at 3 a. m.

Katie Sarife

Friday's at 3 a. m. Yes.

Young Hollywood

Okay.

Katie Sarife

Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's so scary.

Mckenna Grace

Exactly right. 3, 3:13. No. Um

Katie Sarife

But at 3:15 is the that's the time.

Mckenna Grace

Is that the hour?

Katie Sarife

3:15. That's when I'm always

Mckenna Grace

Isn't that in the first Conjuring that was 3:15?

Katie Sarife

something like that. It was three something. 3:16. I could be lying.

Mckenna Grace

What about 3:33? That would be crazy. I feel like

Katie Sarife

Is it 3 a. m. the witching hour? That's what I heard. That's what I heard. So.

Mckenna Grace

Nothing good happens at 3 a. m.

Katie Sarife

Well that's when I heard a loud bang.

Young Hollywood

Oh, what?

Katie Sarife

Oh, yes. That's another story. Sorry. I'm like we're going over everything. I love it. There was a loud bang. It was like 3:50. It sounded like a 50 pound ball just dropped in my living room. This was the night right before I found out I booked it. Some other stuff happened with a candle. It's weird. And like I hear this bang and I said, don't do what the character does in the movie. Don't go investigate. Don't. Just stay in bed and you can go find out in the morning. There was nothing that fell but it was so incredibly loud. It woke my boyfriend up. I have no idea what it was to this day. But um, I don't even know how I got on that topic. Sorry.

Mckenna Grace

Maybe it was a spirit just being like, hey, something's coming. You're going to book something.

Katie Sarife

Yeah. Or Annabelle being like, haha. Here she comes.

Mckenna Grace

Yep. Yeah. That's good. Welcome. Welcome. Welcome to the Conjuring Universe. There you go.

Young Hollywood

Do you guys think that it's going to just like follow you now since you've been in films? Weird things are going to.

Mckenna Grace

Annabelle or just creepy things in general?

Young Hollywood

I mean, either one I guess.

Mckenna Grace

Um

Madison Iseman

We are creepy things. I'm I'm very turned off to it. Like if anything weird is happening, I'm like, nope. Nope. It's not happening. So yeah, I don't allow it in my bubble.

Katie Sarife

I do. That's amazing. I'm like the complete opposite. That I and I like to believe in I like to believe in that stuff. I like to search out proof. I mean, I I feel like I'm very similar to my character in that way that I I just am fascinated with the supernatural and stuff. So yeah, I I like to believe it and sometimes weird inexplicable things happen.

Mckenna Grace

This is where I'm sitting in the middle because I I I don't like it but I do like it.

Katie Sarife

Yeah. It's a good median.

Mckenna Grace

Good median.

Katie Sarife

Yes.

Young Hollywood

I love it. Okay, before we let you guys go, we have just quick questions of would you rather that have to do with Annabelle. If you can do it rapid fire, so here we go. Would you rather?

Mckenna Grace

Oh, I'm already scared. I'm already scared. Oh no.

Young Hollywood

Would you rather be haunted by Annabelle or hear the voices of dead people?

Mckenna Grace

Voices of dead people.

Katie Sarife

Annabelle wants our soul.

Mckenna Grace

Yeah, that's true. Okay.

Katie Sarife

Voices of dead people. They want our soul. You think about it.

Young Hollywood

Yeah. Me too. I just want to do that.

Young Hollywood

You guys are crazy. I love it. Okay, last one. Would you rather be haunted by Annabelle or have nightmares every single night?

Mckenna Grace

Probably nightmares every single night. You don't understand how bad Annabelle is. You're just

Katie Sarife

No. You're just going to go to like hell or something.

Mckenna Grace
