In this episode of CEOs of Screams – The Podcast, Sumi sits down with Lyndsey Craine, horror actress and rising genre favorite known for her roles in the 2025 hit FMV horror game Dead Reset, as well as indie cult films like Book of Monsters, How to Kill Monsters and more.

The two dive into the wonderfully chaotic world of indie horror filmmaking, from the challenges and pure joy of working with practical effects to the strange, surreal feeling of seeing yourself on-screen, running, screaming and drenched in monster slime and fake blood. Lyndsey shares her journey from not growing up with horror at all to becoming a loved indie horror actress.

They also chat about the big differences between shooting a traditional film and performing in an FMV game, what it’s like acting for two very different audiences, and why horror is one of the most diverse and creatively freeing genres to work in.
