Coming in August in TV CONFIDENTIAL: Legendary scream queen Dee Wallace on RED CHRISTMAS, a horror movie with a contemporary social message that, in many ways, is also very much “old school”; playing a character without a lot of dialogue in the early going of Amazon’s JUST ADD MAGIC; being directed by her daughter, Gabrielle Stone, in the short films ELIXIR and AFTER EMMA; and the challenge of delivering her lines in a Perry Mason-like cadence when playing the prosecutor in After Emma. RED CHRISTMAS is now available on Netflix, while AFTER EMMA is making the film festival circuit. Dee can also be seen in CRITTERS ATTACK (now available on Blu-ray and digital), Rob Zombie’s 3 FROM HELL (coming in September), and RENOVATION OF THE HEART (a family drama coming later this year). All three seasons of JUST ADD MAGIC are available on demand
