Luke James is confident that The Scare existed before Edmund Gaines met it.
I think Edmund is on the spectrum, on a wide spectrum…
He definitely needed a whole lot of guidance.
But I think The Scare is a manifestation of all his pain and rage.
In a sense, right?
Just coming to him.
His whole world is caving in on him, desperation."
But did The Scare exist before Edmunds fall from grace?
James thinks so:
“I think it was something that existed before Edmund.
I think it’s just, you know, generational trauma in it makes his way.
It’s interesting how that happens.
Like, you might have no Cognizant lines to your past…
He doesn’t know his mother; he doesn’t know their history.
But how is that in the blood somehow?
He’s that way from traumatic events.
I thought it was really well written.
I think this demon always existed, though.”
And there’s some reconciliation that needs to happen.
And this is why I have these dreams, etc.'
I don’t know.
It’s just an interesting, spooky experienced scenario."
They came up with this idea of just a beefed-up Raggedy Anne doll."
Edmund wants to be seen asIt’s the eighties, so, think of all the most popular people.
Edmund’s not a big dude.
And I think that plays into what The Scare became, this beefed-up idea that Edmund had of himself.
Who’s gonna do’Because the way it’s written, it’s just this giant towering figure.
you’re able to do this.'
I was like, ‘Really?
Because I would love to.’
And the next day, I’m sitting in a chair.
Like, thank God, I’m not claustrophobic.
It was far out, bro.
It was bizarre."
So we filmed this two years ago…
I saw ‘Five Nights at Freddy’s,’ I think shortly after.
Really enjoyed it; creepy as hell.
I haven’t yet watched it."
I couldn’t watch anything.
The only things I could watch were cartoons like dark cartoons like Adult Swim.
I just didn’t want to have any weird influence and just be as original as possible.
So all it’s happenstance."
