Halloween Series: Interview with the fisherman

This is another in my Sunday interviews with horror movie killers. This time, the fisherman in "I Know What You Did Last Summer."

AUTUMN: I must admit that I found your method of tormenting the teens to be most effective. A simple note and you had them in a panic. Why didn’t you just kill them off without warning?

FISHERMAN: Well, you see, that wouldn’t have been half so much fun as watchin’ `em squirm like fish out of water.

AUTUMN: Every killer has one special kill that was their favorite. Which one was yours?

FISHERMAN: Well, the jock was too easy to kill. I did him fast to just get it out of the way. The blonde, she was the most fun. I liked killing her because first I cut off her pretty hair and then I chased her down. She thought she’d make it safe and clear and I got her. I loved to see her scared and screaming. It gave me such satisfaction. She really was a stupid broad.

AUTUMN: But, you didn’t manage to kill the last two, hmm?

FISHERMAN: (clenches the arms of the chair and growls) I shoulda done like I did with the other couple; kill off the man protector first. Stupid, stupid, stupid! I was just so focused on killing that pretty brunette. It was most distracting having her on my boat. I don’t usually take women on my boat. Like right now, having you here... (leans forward)

AUTUMN: (scoots her chair back) Did you have a killing method in mind for her?

FISHERMAN: (nods quickly). Well, I’d want to gut `er like a fish, ya know? I’d take and peel her spine out and toss her head out with it and then peel back her skin and….

AUTUMN: (vomits into the trash can)

FISHERMAN: (laughs) Want me to demonstrate, do ya? (stands up)

AUTUMN: (rushes to the stern of the boat and jumps onto the dock, running away as he waves his hook hand at her)
