Melissa Barrera on 'Your Monster' and Always Ending Up 'Covered in Blood'
Melissa Barrera opened up to Us about being ‘terrified’ of taking on a comedic role in ‘Your Monster,’ and why she loves being a modern day Scream Queen
In Your Monster, which hits theaters on Friday, October 25, Barrera plays Laura Franco, an aspiring and soft spoken actress undergoing cancer treatment when her boyfriend ( Edmund Donovan) dumps her. While there’s plenty of “darkness” that exists in the film — often stemming from unlikely places — Barrera insists that Dewey’s Monster is less scary and more the “charming, sexy beast” of any Disney fan’s dreams. Wading back into comedy wasn’t without it’s hesitations; Barerra confessed Laura was a “terrifying” part to take on after settling into the role of Final Girl — even those who watched this year’s brilliantly executed horror-comedy Abigail saw her playing it straight — but she was also fully up for the challenge.
