‘Kindred Spirits’: Amy Bruni And Adam Berry On The One Paranormal Investigation They Never Want To Do

‘Kindred Spirits’: Amy Bruni And Adam Berry On The One Paranormal Investigation They Never Want To Do

Kindred Spirits, the new paranormal investigation show with Amy Bruni and Adam Berry, premieres tonight on TLC. This latest paranormal team sat down recently to talk about the big switch from investigating huge buildings with Ghost Hunters to getting personal in family homes with Kindred Spirits. In Part 3 of this three-part interview with Berry and Bruni, Amy Bruni talks about branching out to start her own ghost hunting travel tours and retreats, and this paranormal dynamic duo talk about their hopes for a second season and what that might bring to Kindred Spirits fans.

Perhaps more importantly, there is one potential twist to Kindred Spirits they hope you won’t see. (If you missed Part 1 and Part 2, click the links to catch up.)

Diana Price: So is it fair to say that even though the two of you have seen your fair share of compelling paranormal evidence on Kindred Spirits and Ghost Hunters, you keep that skeptical approach to evaluating evidence on each new case?

Amy Bruni: Absolutely, and I think that’s even more imperative when you’re dealing with families, because that’s when emotions are running high. Like Adam said, you have to be as right as you can be in looking for ghosts. We’re fully aware that nothing we can ever do or say is going to fully prove the existence of ghosts, but when you go into the house with one of these families that has had experiences for years that are just undeniable, and they’re terrified, they’re scared, they’re curious — you just have to go into it with the best of your abilities and give them answers.

DP: You know, there are a couple different kinds of paranormal investigation shows on TV right now. You have the really crazy over-the-top shows that seem to have been dominating programming recently, but on the other end of the spectrum, you have shows more like Kindred Spirits, which take a more quiet and serious approach to paranormal investigating. With so many new shows coming out like Kindred Spirits and Paranormal Lockdown, do you feel as if the trend is returning to more serious paranormal investigations?

Amy Bruni: I think there’s something to be said for both types of shows. I think that there are people who are fans of both types, and people who might gravitate to one more than the other, which totally makes sense. But I think for us and for Kindred Spirits, it kind of shows just how a paranormal investigation — like a real one — should be done. It becomes more of a case study versus just going in for one night and looking for ghosts. We investigate over and over again. We bring in experts, we research heavily, so there is so much more of a story being told… It’s almost like a mystery. I’m glad there are people out there that are interested in that aspect of the investigation and I think that’s kind of a byproduct of all the shows. People are starting to ask the bigger questions and want to know more, so I think there’s a positive to all of it. I’m thankful for the influx of paranormal programming and I’m also thankful that it’s kind of come to this moment where people are so curious about it that they want to know more.

Adam Berry: I think you hit it that the missing piece of what’s on TV now is showing the actual reality of what an entire investigation looks like. Because there are teams out there, and they know — they know they don’t just go in there for one or two nights and verify that there are ghosts, and say “Yes, there are ghosts. This is what happens and we have the same experiences. Awesome.” But it’s more than that: it’s historical research, and interviews, and land surveys, and tax records. It’s like, a thousand things that we can use while we investigate. I think people are craving to see the whole picture and the bigger picture. And that’s what Kindred Spirits gives you, really.

DP: Aside from Kindred Spirits, what other projects do you have in the works? I know you have a paranormal side project, Amy, called Strange Escapes.

Amy Bruni: Yeah, that’s a company I started a couple of years ago because obviously I love ghosts, and I love traveling, and it turns out there’s a lot of people who like ghosts and traveling. So I started this retreat company where we plan retreats for people who are into the paranormal, going to some of the world’s most famous haunted places. We usually have, like, one every month or two for a long weekend, and they’re so much fun. We’ve met so many people out there who are totally like-minded… I bring Adam to every event because I can’t do anything without him, but it’s also kind of nice about being able to spread our message about being super-empathetic to ghosts as well as the clients, and we bring in a lot of speakers to kind of share our viewpoint on the paranormal. And it’s been really great.

Just as I was asking Amy and Adam what might be in store for another season if Kindred Spirits is renewed, a fire alarm went off in Amy’s office. Amy had to exit for a bit, but fortunately, it was a false alarm, and everything was fine. Still, in her absence, Adam came up with the new twist to another season of Kindred Spirits we hope we never have to see.

“In the next season of Kindred Spirits, Amy’s going to be in a fire, so that’s new. I’ll be going solo, looking for Amy.”

Never fear, paranormal fans, it’s all a joke. Adam Berry and the very-much-alive Amy Bruni debut Kindred Spirits tonight on TLC, but tune in early for a Ghosts of Shepherdstown special to find out how the town has been doing since the paranormal team of Nick Groff, Elizabeth Saint, and Bill Hartley investigated “the most haunted town in America.” Get your Friday Night Frights on with TLC starting tonight at 8 p.m. ET with Ghosts of Shepherdstown and A Haunting at 9 p.m., followed by the premiere episode of Kindred Spirits at 10 p.m.

‘Kindred Spirits’: Exclusive Interview With Adam Berry And Amy Bruni [Part 2]

‘Kindred Spirits’: Exclusive Interview With Adam Berry And Amy Bruni [Part 2]

Former Ghost Hunters‘ paranormal investigators Adam Berry and Amy Bruni debut their new paranormal series, Kindred Spirits, on TLC Friday, October 21. The pair sat down in an exclusive interview to chat about their new series, the trials and tribulations of a career working with the paranormal, and their friendship on and off the screen in Part 2 of this three-part interview.

In Part 1 of the interview, Bruni talked about a moment in the Kindred Spirits premiere that got very personal for her. Did Berry also make some personal connections while filming Kindred Spirits Season 1?

Adam Berry: I think the best thing about these cases is we were able to really help families that needed it. We had a lot of people that contacted us about what they thought was happening in their house, and I think that both of us individually, in different ways, connected to each case differently. And I think you can’t get past that. You can’t not have an emotional connection to who these people are. Because, basically, we became part of their family for the time that we were there. We knew everything about them, and we knew everything about the history of the house, and we were finding all of this information. So by the end, we were family members with this new family that we were helping. I think that we each connected to every single case because it’s hard not to be emotionally invested when you’re specifically helping families.

Diana Price: What were your favorite moments in this first season of Kindred Spirits without giving away any major spoilers?

Amy Bruni: I would say there were a lot of favorite moments. One of my favorites, though, is actually one that’s been in a preview, so I can go into it a little bit. But we were investigating a house in Connecticut and we were in the attic and we got this exact name by EVP of one of the former owners of the house. What we found when we did Kindred Spirits was that many times the person that the family suspected was haunting their house… it was not that person at all, or it was that person, but then there was something else there. So this was one of those major plot twists when we got the exact name… you can see the reaction on our faces, like “Oh my goodness!” No matter how many times you do this, it still takes you by surprise when it’s such an exact, perfect answer. That was just one of those defining moments. I think that was our third case at that point, and that was when we just knew, “Oh my goodness, this is taking us for a crazy ride.”

Adam Berry: The coolest thing for me, for both of us really — and I said it earlier — but we genuinely had no idea what we were going into. I mean, we knew of their experiences, and we had interviewed them on the phone, and we gathered as much information from our phone interviews as we could before meeting them in person, but I think in each case there ended up being multiple layers of many different things it could be, based on our research and based on our interviews. I think when we got that “a-ha moment” in each case, that kind of sealed it for us. When we said “this is what it is” or “that’s what it is” — those were extremely gratifying and moving [moments]. Because we’re investigators, we can only tell you what we think based on what we know and what kind of evidence we’re getting. So when we were able to discover what the situation was, and who was there, and why they were there, I think that was thrilling.

DP: It seems a lot of paranormal show fans are actually very skeptical of the results, and the fact that you debunk a lot of things gives shows like Kindred Spirits greater credibility than paranormal shows where everything is taken at face value without rigorously testing or questioning possible paranormal evidence. What is the scariest thing or most convincing piece of evidence you’ve run into as paranormal investigators, whether on Kindred SpiritsGhost Hunters or during private paranormal investigations?

Amy Bruni: We love our skeptical viewers. I think I find it really interesting anytime Adam and I experience the exact same thing or we see the same thing. You know, we both see an apparition at the same time, or we both hear a voice at the same time, because there’s always that risk when it’s just you that something is going on in your head. Or you see something out of the corner of your eye, but when it’s both of us, that’s always kind of a game-changer for me. And I can’t go into that too much, but that sort of thing happened on Kindred Spirits a few times. So I think that’s the best when we have back up, and it’s even more helpful when the camera guy sees it, too.

Adam Berry: When we’re speaking to skeptics, I think when we find a bit of information that we couldn’t have possibly known and it correlates exactly with what’s happening in the house, I think that is beyond incredible. It’s like, we could not have known this information, there’s no way we would have found this information if we weren’t looking for it. This avenue took us this way, and it took us that way, and we came across this and we got it. We kept digging; we never stop digging. If we didn’t know the answer, we dug deeper, we looked harder. We are very critical about the information that we are giving families because, as Amy said before, there’s a lot riding on it. We can’t be wrong about what we feel is happening in this house because they’re relying on this information to heal. So we would never stop until we were absolutely sure that this is what we thought was going on and give them a resolution. I think those moments were amazing.

Creepy crawlers in tiny spaces: Interview with ‘Crawl or Die’s’ Nicole Alonso

Creepy crawlers in tiny spaces: Interview with ‘Crawl or Die’s’ Nicole Alonso

Horror has earned a bit of a bad rap with women over the years, often making them weak and vulnerable, and of course, naked. Hey, we get it guys; you like boobs. It’s not a crime. But when a movie has a kickass female lead — and doesn’t use gratuitous flesh to sell itself — it’s a pretty cool thing and a refreshing change.  Plus, if you add in super tight spaces and a spider-like, ravenous alien in those tight spaces, you’re bound to get the attention of a claustrophobic or arachnophobic horror fan.

But god help you if you have both, because “Crawl or Die” — billed correctly as the most claustrophobic movie ever made — will reduce you to a fetal position. Star and producer Nicole Alonso sat down for an exclusive interview to talk about the film, directed by Oklahoma Ward.

The Queen of Scream: I watched the “Crawl or Die” even though I’m so claustrophobic. But I had kind of missed that whole part in the plot about the spider-like alien thing, because that’s my other fear, spiders. So yeah, that was an extra special treat for me.

Nicole Alonso: Oh, that’s great! You’re going to see in the next one, we have a whole scene with tarantulas so you’re going to love that.

TQOS: Oh God, that’s it, I’m fast-forwarding through that part. I kept thinking I wanted to fast forward through this, but it was like no, no don’t fast forward, be professional.

NA: Hey, I understand.

TQOS: You weren’t just the lead actress in this movie, but you were also a producer and you did the song for it. So how did you get involved with this project?

NA: Well, I actually met the director, Oklahoma Ward, when I auditioned for his first film and I got a small role in that. And then after that we actually became roommates for a while and so we were working together. And then after about a year we ended up dating, and then he and I kind of launched into this project together, “Crawl or Die.” He began writing it, and then we lived in L.A. at the time and we ended up moving out to Tulsa, Oklahoma to build the set and film the movie, and we just kind of worked on the whole thing together. So that’s kind of how I have all these roles in it and got involved in doing all of that other stuff for the movie too.

TQOS: So you guys do live in Oklahoma now?

NA: Yeah, we live in Oklahoma. We were living in L.A. and we kind of got back and were like, you know it’s just too expensive to do what we need to do. We needed a huge set in order to be able to build all of the tunnels, and in L.A. it’s just ridiculously expensive. The land out here is super cheap and he grew up here so he has family here and he knows people here. So we came out, built the studio and piece of property, and just filmed it all here.

TQOS: Well that’s the great thing about all of the great technology and the high definition cameras available now. It’s so expensive to live in L.A., but having access to all this great stuff makes it easier for people to live in other to do films independently do where they don’t have to be working 60 hours a week just to support themselves. They can actually be artists.

NA: Right, yeah. That’s kind of what our deciding factor was. Because we were basically like, we’re living in L.A. and basically working just to pay our rent, and it was ridiculous. We weren’t creating. So we decided it was just better for us to get out of there and now we’ve made a movie, so I’d say it was worth it.

TQOS: And it’s a great result at what looks like a really reasonable budget. Because even though the set is big, it is probably a pretty low budget because you simply built tunnels, although you do have the special effects of the creature. But even with that, I was thinking it’s probably not really a huge budget because you did keep your set so simple.

NA: We were definitely low budget and you’re right, most of the money pretty much went to the creature and then post production. But for the most part we were really low budget. I can’t say actually how much, but you know.

TQOS: And the creature is animatronic, right?

NA: Yeah, it was a guy who designed a suit that he wore, and he had a head that he would put on and stuff like that. It was basically controlled by three or four people who controled the arms. So it wasn’t electronic or anything like that, it was basically more like a puppet.

TQOS: It looked really good, and you could tell that it wasn’t CGI, thank goodness. Well, thank goodness for most people. For some of us it’s like, oh thank you for that extra dose of scary reality.

NA: I wanted us to do CGI, but with the budget they were telling us for that, we were like no. Unless you can have “Planet of the Apes” quality CGI, it’s just going to look cheesy and bad. So we went with a real monster instead.

TQOS: Well when Oklahoma said to you “Hey, I’ve got this great idea for a movie. It’s about this woman that’s in these really tight spaces and they just keep getting smaller and smaller and smaller,” did you have any reservations? I mean do you have any kind of claustrophobia?

NA: I actually don’t. And when he told me the idea I really liked the idea and thought it was unique and so great. And I was like, “Yeah, I’m not claustrophobic, so I’ll be fine.” But you don’t realize once you’re in those tunnels, it’s a whole different ballgame because the tunnels were real. We built them, but they were real 50-foot tunnels. There was no cutout, no opening in the tunnels or anything, so once you’re in, the only way to get out is to crawl forwards or backwards. It did become scary at times because in the smaller tunnels I couldn’t move my arms or legs so I just had to kind of worm through and it was intense. But I think it was totally worth it for the final product.

TQOS: Well, that obviously would help your performance. And also the fact that you did have something real and tangible to work with, the creature that was hunting you down.

NA: Yeah, and it’s interesting because we originally filmed it without a creature. You just basically heard the creature and you never really got to see it. And through test audiences and our sales agency, the test audiences loved it but the one thing they all said was we’d like to see the creature at the end. And the sales agency kind of said the same thing, so they gave us a little budget to do the creature but we only had about three weeks to put the creature in the whole movie. So it’s kind of crazy. And we’re looking forward to the sequel, because I know we’ll have a lot more time to spend on the creature and make it more elaborate and kind of explain more about it and all that kind of stuff. But yeah, it was interesting working with the creature, because like I said it was a puppet, and there was four guys working the arms and all, so you had to work together to get the shot.

TQOS: You did mention the sequel, and actually it’s a trilogy. It’s going to be a trilogy correct?

NA: Yes.

TQOS: So I already know now that tarantulas are going to figure prominently somewhere in the next installment —  oh boy, can’t wait for that arachnaphobe that I am — but what other things can we expect? Can you give us maybe some little teasers? You don’t want to give too much away obviously, but in the next two installments what kind of things can we look for?

NA: Right. Well obviously I can’t give too much away, and actually the director is very good about, not telling me a whole lot; he keeps things secret. It’s under wraps. But I do know some things. I know that a lot of stuff from this first film will get explained in the second film. Like Earth 2 and why she’s the last woman who can become pregnant, and a little more about the virus, and it ‘s definitely going to be more, there will be more information about Tank, and definitely some crazy new claustrophobic scenes that again I can’t give too much away but, all new situations that she’ll get to get in. So it’ll be really fun and a lot of stuff I know the fans are wanting explained will be explained.

TQOS: That’ll be nice to kind of get the backstory, but for the life of me I can’t imagine how you could possibly push it farther than that last crawling sequence. Because I was like “Oh hell no; just let that spider thing get me already. And obviously I hate spiders, so that’s how claustrophobic you got there at the end.  don’t think my cat could have fit through that space, great fat beast that he is. But it’s great to see a strong female lead, and the fact that it’s not something that exploits women. Because we all know, that is a part of horror and always will be,  but it was really nice to see a strong female. lead who didn’t have to get naked at all. Was that something that was really important to you in the role?

NA: Oh definitely. I know it was important to myself and the director. He was very influenced by films like “Alien”  and he was like I don’t want you to be [nude].  Of course, the distributors and all were like “we need nudity,” but he was like absolutely not, that’s not what this is about. And I think for us it was most important to show that yes, Tank is strong, yes she’s determined and she keeps fighting, but she’s not Rambo. She’s not a guy. She has emotion, she’s afraid, she has weak moments, but I think the point is that she never gives up and she just will fight through everything to keep going. And I think that’s what makes her so badass, is that she’s mentally strong. She doesn’t quit. And I think it was important for us to show that, that she wasn’t Rambo. She’s not going to take down everybody, but she’s a strong person.

TQOS: And there was actually a really vulnerable scene, as you were getting down where there with just the two of you left, and at that point, the other person was almost the stronger of the two of you, but then you kind of bounced back. But there was that vulnerable moment.

NA: Yeah. I do think it was a good balance for her, because I think anyone in that situation would of course be terrified and I think it was cool to play her that way. To show that, I don’t think she ever would have given up, but I definitely think she has moments of questioning if she could keep going. And it was fun to sort of show the both sides of that.

TQOS: There’s also going to be a comic book coming out, so it was that something that was part of the idea from the beginning? Or was it something that’s kind of come along afterwards?

NA: We always wanted to have a comic book, and I know with the deals we made with our distributor we made sure to keep the rights to do things like that, but it wasn’t intended to be so soon. But when it came out in Japan we had such a huge response in Japan from the fans, and actually they were sending in artwork for us, like fan art, drawing pictures of Tank. This one artist in particular sent us this amazing fan art, and we were like “Oh my God, we’d love it to do a comic book with you.” And he was stunned that we asked him, and he really was in to doing it, so we headed down the path with a translator to work all the details out, and he’s now creating our comic book. And I’ve got to say, it really looks awesome. I can’t wait to put it out there. It’s coming out really cool.

TQOS: Are you going to keep the iconic hair? Or are we going to see changes in color? Because that is so perfect for the whole comic book and for the movie.

NA: Oh, yeah. In the comic book definitely, it’s the mohawk all the way, the same hair, so yeah. It’ll be the same color. The comic book is actually mostly black and white, so it’s all going to be the same color. Tank is definitely the mohawk, that’s her thing.

TQOS: Have you filmed the sequel, the second part of the trilogy yet?

NA: We haven’t filmed it yet. I know Oklahoma has it written and he knows the story and all that. We’re finishing up the promotion of this film which will probably be for another four to five months, and then we’re going to start looking at pre-production for the next movie. So probably six months down the road we’ll be starting pre-production and get to film it. So it’s exciting.

TQOS: Well then maybe it’ll be ready for next Halloween?

NA: Maybe — I hope so. Of course we’re going to try to get it done as quick as possible but we’ll see. Hopefully. Until then, you can check out Alonso in “Crawl or Die” on iTunes or Amazon, and also the indie film “Screen,” which you can rent or buy on Vimeo currently.

‘The Strain’: Guillermo del Toro brings gore and vampires to TV

THE STRAIN — Pictured: Cory Stoll as Ephraim Goodweather. CR. Michael Gibson/FX.

One of FX’s hallmark shows is “American Horror Story,” it’s genre-breaking foray into horror. But the network has brought on the next phase of dark drama in its new series “The Strain,” focusing on modern vampires. Guillermo del Toro and Carlton Cuse have taken on the challenge of bringing Chuck Hogan and del Toro’s novels to television, and the pair sat down in a media conference call to talk about the upcoming series, and express a lot of love to FX networks for giving them such freedom on the show.

“I will say that this show really represents my and Guillermo’s version of the story,” Cuse said. “It’s really unadulterated. I mean, yes, sure, we can’t drop F-bombs, but that’s about it.”

He also noted that the show will not run indefinitely, and even from the beginning, they pitched the series to run a set number of seasons, so it can have a definitive ending and story arc.

“The plan is that the show will run somewhere between three and five seasons, and as we work out the mythology and the storytelling for Season 2, we’ll have a better idea of exactly how long our journey is going to be,” said Cuse. “But it won’t be more than five seasons. We’re definitely writing to an endpoint, and we’re following the path as established in Guillermo and Chuck’s novels. But obviously there’s a lot that’s also going to be added…

“And I think that the goal is not to literally translate the book into a television show. You want to take the book as a source of inspiration and then make the best possible television show that you can make.”

Now if you think that creating a television series means the show won’t be scary enough or will go light on the violence and gore elements, think again. Del Toro likened drawing the line in the sand between not enough and too much to holding his audience captive in the literal sense.

It’s almost like a hostage situation, where you need to show an audience that you’re not kidding, you know?” he said. “You have to show you are going to deliver either by atmospheric, creepy moments, or by visceral punch, hopefully both. You’re going to be able to deliver the goods, the things that will make you feel queasy, will make you feel unsafe, will bring this delightful shiver that is required with the genre.

Despite the large number of horror and true crime shows on TV, it seems the public always craves more and can’t get enough of monsters, horror and death in media. Del Toro thinks that drive harkens back to primitive urges.

“From my end, what I think is very apparent is that we’ve come to the point where socially, as we are mammalian creatures, we are territorial, we are built to fight and fend off territorial challenges, reproduce, and sit a sedentary life, you know, ultimately that’s the way we’re socially and animalistically geared,” said del Toro. “And yet we live in a society that the more it isolates itself from its natural instincts, the more it seeks them in entertainment. And I think there is a vicarious thrill your brain needs, the way your body needs the exercise in a way, your brain needs to be exposed to flight and fight instincts, and you seek it through a roller coaster, or some people seek it through extreme sports, or you can seek it in genres like noir crime, horror, adventure, etc. It’s literally a biochemical mammalian biofeedback with how we are constructed to organize the storytelling in our lives, I think.”

“I completely agree with everything that Guillermo said,” added Cuse, “Although I don’t discount that some reptiles will also like the show.”

“The Strain” airs Sunday nights on FX at 10 p.m. ET.

‘Bitten’ stars talk favorite moments of first season

BITTEN — Season:1 — Pictured: (l-r) Laura Vandervoort as Elena Michaels, Greyston Holt as Clayton Danvers, Greg Bryk as Jeremy Danvers — (Photo by: Matt Barnes/Syfy)

As “Bitten” wraps up its first season Monday night, series stars Laura Vandervoort, Greyston Holt and Greg Bryk sat down for a media conference call Friday to preview the season finale, and talk about some of their favorite moments filming the rookie series for Syfy. Here’s what each of the three had to say:

Greg Bryk: I’m going to say that I have favorite moments with each of the characters. With Greyston, I really love the moment when I was sick in bed and there was just like — for me, with a son, and this sense of there’s tensions and people grow … Clay was forced to deal with his incredible burden so soulfully.

But that sense that the younger will look after you in your moments of vulnerability to me was very resonate.

And for Laura, it really was there was the two moments: one when she was going to be leaving and told me, and the heartbreak of that. And then the fear of having to tell her the truth. Like there was just — there was such honesty and danger for me as a person, as an actor — and just how gracious they are as fellow performers, fellow artists, that it just made it so wonderful to reveal that about yourself. It’s an extraordinary cast. I feel blessed, you know, to love people.

Laura Vandervoort: Yes. And thanks Greg. I mean, like, it’s true. You can’t pick one scene because I feel like I’ve had — like you said, in ones with everybody that just really touched me, and more than I expected it to. You know, you read the scene and it’s emotional and dramatic, but you actually get into it and you’re looking into the other person’s eyes and they’re genuinely there.

And we all care about each other so much that it just feels genuine and it’s easy to work off of.

And, I remember that one of my favorite scenes with Greg — well, there’s a couple, and Greyston — Greyston and I had our first sort of moments of being nice to one another. We both said it was odd in the flashbacks .. We were both saying, “It’s weird to smile and be nice to one another,” because we had just been so horrible.

And then also, we had, you know, a wonderful scene by the fire place where we sort of connect for the first time and let down their guard.

In terms of episodes, there was an episode that — it was four or five where Elena changes for the first time with Greg — and the turmoil that she goes though … I loved, you know, the entire day just being exhausted and really putting everything into it, in the cage, and that fatherly/daughter relationship of him trying to help me get through it.

I just thought it was so well done and everyone was great.

Greyston Holt: And if I can get to pitch in. I would have to agree with Greg. My favorite scene, Greg, was with the same scene. I just wanted – it’s really interesting to show like these tender moments. You know, these – you know, where we can have the tendency to be quite violent in this show, and you know, it’s really – it’s nice to play these tender sides – the tender side of us, you know, and these intimate moments.

And with Laura, there’s a scene coming up that I really like that hasn’t aired yet in 13. We’re in the bathtub and I’m weak and you’re taking care of me, and after all that’s happened, it’s a really beautiful scene and obviously working with both of you guys and the whole cast has been such a treat and a blessing.

Laura Vandervoort: And Greyston, I’ve seen the finale. I’ll talk to you after about what’s not in it anymore.

Uh-oh. That didn’t sound good.

Let’s hope Holt didn’t get a big scene cut, as sometimes happens. But if you do want to find out what happens on the season finale of “Bitten,” be sure to tune into Syfy tonight.
