    Charles Band's Full Moon Freakshow | Dana Delorenzo

    This week, we're stoked to welcome the beautiful and talented Italian/American actress Dana DeLorenzo to the show. Dana started her career in radio and TV before becoming a regular cast member on the hit series The Late Late Show With Craig Ferguson. But it was when she locked a leading role as tough-as-nails "ghostbeating" warrior Kelly Maxwell in Bruce Campbell and Sam Raimi's cult horror show ASH VS THE EVIL DEAD that her pop culture legacy was firmly cemented. Dana reprised her role as Kelly in the EVIL DEAD videogame and has since gone on to appear in shows like WILL AND GRACE, TACOMA FD and many more.

    Charles Band's Full Moon Freakshow | Andrew Divoff

    This week Charlie welcomes a real deal renaissance man: an actor, producer, philanthropist and a genuine icon of horror cinema, Andrew Divoff. Andrew got his start on the small screen appearing in an episode of the short-lived 80s cult series MISFITS OF SCIENCE before going big - and bloody - starring as a satanic surgeon in 1986's NEON MANIACS. After showing up in dozens of hit TV series throughout the decade, Andrew broke through to the big time with his part as outlaw biker Cherry Ganz in the Eddie Murphy sequel ANOTHER 48 HOURS. And even though he has shown up in celebrated films like the action comedy A LOW DOWN DIRTY SHAME, the greasy Stephen King shocker GRAVEYARD SHIFT and the Harrison Ford classic AIR FORCE ONE, it is his role as the malevolent Djinn in the Wes Craven produced WISHMASTER film series that has forever made him a cult movie hero. He even brews his own Wishmaster beer that he sells to benefit the many charities he supports. And he's Full Moon royalty, having starred as the alien outlaw baddie in OBLIVION!

    Charles Band's Full Moon Freakshow | Barbara Steele

    This week it's our honour to welcome an absolute icon of not just horror cinema, but of international film culture, full stop, Lady Barbara Steele! After a moderately successful acting career in her native England, Barbara found her first taste of serious fame in Italy starring in director Mario Bava's landmark Gothic thriller BLACK SUNDAY and Ricardo Freda's eerie chiller THE HORRIBLE DR. HITCHCOCK before dancing for Fellini in his classic 1963 masterpiece 8 1/2. After a memorable turn in Roger Corman's 1961 Poe Cycle film THE PIT AND THE PENDULUM, Barbara would continue to be the Queen of the "Hollywood on the Tiber" scene in Italy throughout the decade, starring in a tidal wave of sensual shockers like THE LONG HAIR OF DEATH, NIGHTMARE CASTLE, CASTLE OF BLOOD, AN ANGEL FOR SATAN, THE SHE BEAST and many, many more. Moving permanently to America in the 1970's, Barbara would then appear in future genre classics like David Cronenberg's gruesome SHIVERS and Joe Dante's campy Corman-produced PIRANHA before teaming up with DARK SHADOWS guru Dan Curtis and co-producing his acclaimed TV miniseries THE WINDS OF WAR and its sequel WAR AND REMEMBRANCE, which earned her an Emmy Award in 1989. And despite all these listed achievements, we've really only just scratched the surface of this incredible artist's life.

    Charles Band's Full Moon Freakshow | Tim Thomerson

    In this latest episode, Charlie welcomes real deal Full Moon royalty to the show: the great Tim Thomerson! Tim started his career in show business as a character actor and standup comedian doing the club circuit in LA, before being scouted by director Robert Altman to star in his 1978 comedy A WEDDING. That same year he would be cast as the gender bent Gene in the cult TV series Quark and then star in other films and television like the meta slasher classic FADE TO BLACK, at least one episode of FANTASY ISLAND and Charlie's 3D action film METALSTORM. But it was with his role as the no nonsense "future cop" in the 1985 sci-fi thriller TRANCERS that Tim would become an instant fan favorite. Later, he would reprise his role as Deth in further TRANCERS films as well as becoming DOLLMAN in the equally beloved Full Moon franchise. Of course, you've also seen him do his thing in other classic pictures like Kathryn Bigelow's NEAR DARK, the weird Sylvester Stallone/Dolly Parton comedy RHINESTONE, Sondra Locke's RATBOY and dozens upon dozens of other great entertainments.
