[On horror films]Adrienne Barbeau: It's not pleasant for me to watch them. I don't enjoy it. I don't like being disturbed that way. I love action adventure. I think the first horror movie I ever saw was Halloween. John [Carpenter] was black and blue by the time the thing was over because I kept hitting him. I was just so terrified.
[On how much of her book she made up]Adrienne Barbeau: I changed two names. I have journals, daily journals that I've been keeping since 1967. I wrote every day for nearly 40 years; I still do, but not every day. Of course there may be things where I don't remember the specific details; in fact, some of my relatives reminded me about an incident that I hadn't recalled exactly.
