On June 4th, the "Insidious: Chapter 3" premiere was in full bloom on Hollywood Boulevard. Many great stars across all ages came to the premiere in support of the third installment of the mega horror franchise. Everyone loves a good horror movie and all we're excited to see the prequel to the groundbreaking story of "Insidious."

Stars from television, film, youtube, and more strutted down the red carpet showing off their vibrant personalities. "Insidious: Chapter 3" focuses on establishing the story behind the occurances of the original "Insidious," which was released in 2010. Stefanie Scott plays the leading character of Quinn Brenner who moves to a new house and begins hearing voices from who she thought was her dead mother. As it turns out, the voices are actually spirits trying to enter her body. With the help of Elise Rainier, played by Lin Shaye, the Brenner family tries to help save Quinn through the use of Elise's phsycic abilities.

Not all the cast was present at the event or able to interview, however, Neon Tommy was able to get an exclusive interview with producer Jason Blum and writer/director Leigh Whannell. When asked what keeps drawing Jason to horror films and what makes him excited to start a new project, he exclaimed how new and exciting ideas that really gives a new insight on what horror films are all about is what makes him excited about future projects. He has produced excellent works in creating successful films such as the Purge, and, one of my favorites, Sinister.

He continued in saying one of the biggest things that keeps him focused on a project is living and staying in the moment and not focusing on the success or how big the actual production is going to be. Although hard to do, that is a great form of thinking. On the screenwritting side of things, Leigh Whannell talked about his motivation when writting. As a young screenwriter myself, I asked him what keeps him focused and motivated in writing and he explained that one just needs to really find a story that, no matter how much you may push it off, the passion and fire is still there.

Mr. Whannell has had major success in writting major films such as all three Insious films, as well as, starting the groundbreaking franchise, Saw. His biggest concern in his writting is his effect on the audience. His passion for writting horror films, he says, is based on the fact that he loves to see the audience react and scream. Contrary to drama, where the only time one will be able to truely see how people felt is afterwards in the reviews (rather than in side the movie theater).

I had many amazing interviews with other great entertainers such as Dave Shelton, his wife, and Tom Fitzpatrick (who plays Bride in Black in the movie). They all have many years in the entertainment industry and gave great advice that includes always staying busy and, no matter what, put in all the effort if you are really passionate and let no one stop your passion.

In terms of the fashion side of things, some fell flat with their evening wear while others excelled. The one unexpected person who slayed the red carpet premiere was Tom Fitzpatrick who came in full costume of his character, the Bride in Black. His theatricallity, commitment, and personality made for a great show and interview as he was the highlight of the night. 

Stefani Scott also made a statement as she arrived in a gorgeous white strapless dress. She is well known in the entertainment industry as one of the most promising young actresses. She is known for her roles on Disney, however, most of her current work has very much demonstrated her versatility and potential for adult performances and films. Stefa, along with her "Insidious" costar, Haley Kiyoko (who will also be starring in the upcoming film Jem and the Holograms together. 

"Insidious: Chapter 3," along with its fresh faced actors, holds much promise and is expected to continue the success of the "Insdious" franchise.
