She also had a role in an episode of “Masters of Horror” titled “Jenifer.” In a 2005 interview she explained the episode was based on a comic series. The source material was “from a creepy comic book series. So she’s got really nice blonde hair and really nice body but then a face like a Morlock.”
“But what happens at the beginning is, she just wreaks havoc on people’s lives. She’s so vulnerable and they want to take care of her because they see her being attacked by a regular-looking man so it looks like [she’s the victim],” she explained of her character. “And then the main character, played by Steven Weber, he saves her. Then brings her home only to discover that she starts eating his family and the house pets, the neighbors. In the end, he ends up trying to kill her himself.”
