Not only did she create and produce the film, Carolyn also directed one of the segments - “Grim Grinning Ghost,” which takes its title from the vengeful spirit of Mary Bailey, a disfigured woman who was mercilessly bullied in life and has now returned to exact her retribution.įor Carolyn, the project grew out of her personal relationships with the filmmakers (“We're a bunch of friends who love the same films, we love horror movies, we discuss horror movies all the time, we hang out…we thought it'd be a great thing to channel that into something that we could all work on together,” she told me) but was quite the professional undertaking, as it fell to her to serve as ringleader for the disparate talents involved. No doubt Carolyn's biggest effort to date is the upcoming horror anthology “Tales of Halloween,” for which she rounded up a number of fellow filmmakers including Lucky McKee (“May, “The Woman”), Darren Lynn Bousman (“Saw II-IV”) and Marshall - who directs the film's final segment “The Bad Seed” - for ten tales of All Hallows Eve-themed terror. In 2013, she made her feature directorial debut with the supernatural horror film “Soulmate,” which premiered at that year's Sitges Film Festival. Axelle Carolyn was a horror fanatic long before she was a horror filmmaker, beginning her career as a journalist for Fangoria magazine before directing a number of horror shorts and picking up small roles in films including two of husband Neil Marshall's films: 2008 post-apocalyptic actioner “Doomsday” and the historical war film “Centurion” starring Michael Fassbender.
