Kelli Maroney Interview by The Angry Princess

I still remember going to the mall and then walking across the street with my friend Karen to see Night Of The Comet. How did you get involved in that?

I was in LA from NYC, just checking out pilot season and was called in to audition. My trip was over, went back to NYC, and one day got a phone call to come back to LA because I got the part. If I had known I was going to be cast I would’ve stayed here! But I came back.

You were so cute in your little cheerleading outfit. Were your ever a cheerleader in school?

No–I was a pretty shy kid.

I read that a German rock band called Almost Charlie wrote a song called Kelli Maroney, how cool was that?

Very. Quite a surprise. I understand that they were afraid I was going to take it the wrong way, but I was most flattered–who wouldn’t be? It was one of the reasons I decided to come back into the business. When you take a break, it’s easy to feel that since you’ve been away, people forgot about you, etc. but that song made it hard to feel forgotten. I loved it and it was a great encouragement that came at a perfect time, too.

What is your favorite horror movie?

It depends on what I’ve seen recently. I watch films from all different decades. Right now I think it would be Bogeyman.

Did you ever have an outrageous crush on a celebrity?

No, but I hear it’s fun.

Is there anyone out there in the film industry that you would like to work with?

Tons of amazing folks!

Do you believe in ghosts?

I believe there are identities around that don’t have physical bodies, yes.

Were you a bully or were you ever bullied at school?

I totally got picked on!

Would you rather read a book or watch a movie?

Watch a movie. I wish I could say read a book, though.

Any future plans in horror? Or movies in general?

Yes–I am part owner/producer/actor in Nightmare Carnival and Shadowland, and am in discussions for two other films as well.
