Kate Siegel on V/H/S Beyond, Damned If You Do, Stephen King, and The Life of Chuck

  • Summary

  • Kate Siegel, known for her striking performances in horror in things like The Haunting of Hill House and Midnight Mass, dives into new territory with her directorial debut in the latest V/H/S anthology, V/H/S/Beyond. The filmmaker/actor talks with Kyle Meredith about her part in the movie, as well as her new animated series Dark Corners, working with Stephen King, and Mike Flanagan’s upcoming adaptation of The Life of Chuck.

    Though Siegel initially declined the offer to direct V/H/S/Beyond, Flanagan, her husband and frequent collaborator, encouraged her to seize the opportunity. With her segment playing with themes of time, Siegel describes it as “both scientific and spiritual,” something she's also exploring in her upcoming project The Life of Chuck, her upcoming adaptation of the Stephen King story.

    King also serves as Siegel's screenwriting collaborator on the upcoming Dark Corners, an animated horror anthology aimed at young audiences. Inspired by her children’s growing curiosity about the genre, Siegel launched the project to provide age-appropriate chills without diluting the scare factor.

    Looking ahead, Siegel’s directing ambitions extend to complex, female-centered narratives that blend horror, fantasy, and philosophical exploration. “Weird, feminist, adult stories — that’s where I’m headed,” she explains, inspired by a mix of Guillermo del Toro, Terrence Malick, and Ridley Scott.
