The Texas Witch – Pre Production Interview

I got really excited when I found out there was a witch movie that is about to be made just a few miles from me, down in Jacksonville, TX.

I reached out to them to do this pre-production interview for the blog about an independent film called “The Texas Witch“.

Legend has it a witch haunts the forbidden territories of a Jacksonville forest killing anyone who dares to enter. When Piper Strickland’s brother Jason goes missing in the forest, she and her three friends decide to go in and search for him.

Do you love scary movies, whether it be the basic killing type of horror movie, the paranormal or the creepy witch movies?

I have seen my share of all of types of scary moves, the paranormal fascinates me, I use to be a paranormal investigator.

BUT witch movies, now these scare me but just like the others, I love to watch a few of them.

Q: How did the movie “The Texas Witch” come about?

A: Gianna and Andrew are naturally a good team and wanted to make a movie because that’s our passion. We kicked around ideas and decided to go with something that had a location people could find and look at. A movie about a witch has been done before and so we didn’t want to make it a “typical” witch movie so it will feel really different.

Q: How did you go about choosing Jacksonville, TX and the location as the place to film this movie?

A: Jacksonville, TX is full of interesting history and has a few stories about a witch in the area. Also the community was very supportive when we were in the process of looking for filming locations.
