Emma Myers may play a werewolf on the Netflix series “Wednesday,” but in real life, she lacks the stomach for horror.
“I can do thrillers or zombie movies,” she said, “but nothing supernatural. I’m not good with ghosts.”
“‘Get Out’? I can handle that,” she added. “But I can’t handle ‘The Exorcist.’ I got halfway through ‘The Babadook’ and I had to turn it off. I was too scared.”
That’s in line with the blue-and-pink-haired, social media-obsessed student Enid Sinclair whom she plays on the show, which returned for its second season this month. But she might want to watch her back — things get dark for everyone at Nevermore Academy this season, Enid included.
“But,” Myers added brightly, with a note of her character’s optimism, “We get to meet a bunch of fun new characters.”
In a call from Bristol, England, where she was shooting Season 2 of the British mystery thriller series “A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder,” Myers, 23, shared her cultural essentials, including the sci-fi novel she couldn’t put down while shooting “A Minecraft Movie” and the “Lord of the Rings” track she loves to hike to. These are edited excerpts from the conversation.
