‘Drop’ director inspired by horror-loving dad, Michael Landon

Chris Landon’s love for horror movies goes back.

The director of “Fall” says that his father introduced him to the genre, the star of “Little House on the Prairie” Michael Landon.

“The truth is that the reason I got into horror movies is because I loved them,” Chris told The Post in a recent interview. “So, when I was a child, we saw them together.”

Michael, whose television career covered decades, starred in the cult classic of 1957, “I was a Wewolf teenager,” and was born on Halloween.

“We saw all the movies,” Chris recalled. “Every Friday the 13th,” Halloween “,” Rosemary’s Baby “, The Shining,” whatever we saw … I grew up in a very, very stable diet or horror movies. “

Michael died of pancreatic cancer in 1994 at age 54, when Chris was only 16 years old.

Who makes the director, “fall”, feel like a complete circle moment.

The film stars Meghann Fahey, a widowed mother whose date of appointment with a man named Henry (Brandon Sklenn) goes wrong when he receives telephone messages from a mysterious hood figure that Thealens to kill Hernry.

“I think the real fun of the movie was to take this single piece of technology and then see how it turns against us,” he explained.

Chris added that working with Fahey, just out of the second season of “The White Lotus”, was a “dream come true.”

“I had really pinched,” he continued. “And, you know, it’s fun, like us, after she read the script, we to have coffee and become one of those lung meetings because we really looked good. And so I moved away from that meeting as, I think.”

The director of the “Happy Death Day” wants people to see “drop” in a movie theater because “it is an exciting trip!”

“They will be scared, they will be a nervous disaster, they will laugh and are going to rejoice,” the publication touched. “So I really hope people come up and see it in the theater in the way they are to be seen.”

Before working at “Drop”, Chris joined Helm “Scream 7”, but announced months later that he was no longer involved with the project.

It is not something like that stops.

“Oh, I overcome it,” he said. “Very rear view mirror for me.”

Chris, who left for about 20 years and shares two children with her husband, explained that her work has changed since she became a father.

“It’s all the reason I do what I do now,” he said about his children. “I think my job before the children and before Mariarie was a bit darker, a little more cynical. And then having children really opened my eyes and reoriented the way I want to work and the son of things that I want well in the world.”
