Lin Shaye, whose varied work includes "There's Something About Mary", "The Grudge", "Kingpin", the "Insidious" franchise and "Room for Rent", talks about her beginnings in the industry, working with brother Robert 'Bob' Shaye, her work with the Farrelly Brothers and how she ended up a horror film go-to.

Here's an interview I'd been looking forward to for quite some time. Lin Shaye has been in some of my favorite films, even a number of flicks outside of the horror genre for which I am synonymous with. I had the opportunity to screen Room for Rent recently and was blown away by the sympathetic and equally disturbing character of Joyce who Shaye brought to life.  Lin also spoke to us briefly about her role in the return of Penny Dreadful on Showtime. Announced yesterday on Deadline, she will be appearing alongside Nathan Lane, Amy Madigan, and Brent Spiner as a Nazi hunter in 1930s Los Angeles. Room for Rent is currently available on DVD and VOD. Synopsis: Lonely widow Joyce rents out a room in her house and becomes dangerously obsessed with one of her guests.

To celebrate the release of The Grudge, Heather Wixson is joined by writer/director Nicolas Pesce and co-star Lin Shaye on this special episode of Corpse Club! Listen as Pesce and Shaye discuss what it was like to bring the latest entry in The Grudge franchise to life, including paying tribute to the series' Japanese horror roots from the Ju-On movies, working with a star-studded cast (featuring Andrea Riseborough, Betty Gilpin, John Cho, and Demián Bichir) and blending supernatural horror with relatable real-life issues. So, whether you're a diehard Grudge fan or you're new to the franchise, sit back, relax, and enjoy this special episode of Daily Dead's official podcast.
