Help me with some questions….
So, at this little press junket thingy, I get to interview the cast of The Conjuring along with director James Wan (Saw, Insidious) on video. As I’m thinking of questions to ask, I thought I would open it up to all of you, especially for your Saw-horror types that swear its one of the best [...]
