Taylor Dooley (Eden) played Lavagirl in 2005's 'The Adventures of Sharkboy and Lavagirl'—her first horror role after a decade away from film.
The 'cannibal mountain' legend draws from Appalachian oral traditions, though the film was shot in California's San Bernardino Mountains on a reported $85,000 budget.
