Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Chase cited classic Hollywood musicals as horror fuel — the forced grins, the desperate need to entertain. This is what happens when that need becomes predatory.
Anthony Rapp originated Mark in Rent; here he weaponizes that same eager-to-please energy into something genuinely threatening. Full-circle villainy.
