On Monday afternoon, Linda Cardellini and Brad Caleb Kane, the writer, showrunner, and executive producer of Crystal Lake, hosted a panel discussing the highly anticipated upcoming series. One of the panel’s main topics was Cardellini’s portrayal of Pam Voorhees, according to a report on Deadline.
“We all know where Pam ends up because she starts all the killing in the first movie. So, what Brad gave me was a beautiful beginning and somewhere to go. There’s an arc there from somebody who means well and is trying to survive. She’s doing the best that she can and fighting hard for things that she thinks are right to [becoming] somebody who then turns out to do all the wrong things. That gives me a lot of places to go. I think that dissent is very necessary,” Cardellini shared.
You can’t duplicate what Betsy did, which was to play this devoted mother. So I can take that and sort of bring that to the early childhood years of Jason’s life,” added Cardellini. “I also think that you don’t get to where Betsy is without really truly loving Jason and getting to know him. That was really important to us going in. And no, you can’t be another Betsy. But I do do a little bit of an homage with a certain sweater that makes an appearance.”
The series will premiere on Thursday, October 15th on Peacock. Stay tuned to Horror News Network for more on Crystal Lake.
