Kiernan Shipka, the talented young actress known for her role as Sabrina Spellman in Netflix’s hit series “Chilling Adventures of Sabrina,” is no stranger to the spooky season. With Halloween just around the corner, Shipka is getting into the spirit by teaming up with Hatch for their chilling campaign trailer, “Goodnight, Phone.” In an exclusive interview with ET, Shipka shares her Halloween essentials and talks about her experience working on the eerie project.
As a Halloween enthusiast, Shipka knows a thing or two about what it takes to make the holiday special. When asked about her Halloween essentials, she reveals that her must-haves include a good costume, spooky decorations, and of course, candy. “I love dressing up and getting into character for Halloween. It’s the one time of year where you can be whoever or whatever you want,” Shipka says with a smile.
But it’s not just about the costumes for Shipka. She also loves to set the mood with creepy decorations. “I’m a big fan of decorating my house with cobwebs, pumpkins, and anything that gives off a spooky vibe. It really adds to the Halloween atmosphere,” she shares. And let’s not forget about the candy. Shipka admits that she has a sweet tooth and loves indulging in all the Halloween treats. “I have a weakness for candy corn and chocolate, so Halloween is the perfect excuse to indulge in all my favorites,” she confesses.
Shipka’s love for Halloween is evident in her latest project with Hatch. The campaign trailer, “Goodnight, Phone,” is a spine-chilling short film that follows a young girl (played by Shipka) who receives a mysterious phone call on Halloween night. As the night progresses, the girl realizes that the call is not what it seems, and she must face her fears to survive the night. The trailer is a perfect blend of horror and suspense, and Shipka’s performance is nothing short of captivating.
When asked about her experience working on the project, Shipka says, “It was such a fun and thrilling experience. I love horror, so getting to be a part of this project was a dream come true.” She also praises the team at Hatch for their creativity and attention to detail, which made the project even more enjoyable for her.
Shipka’s love for Halloween and horror is no surprise, considering her impressive resume in the genre. She has starred in films like “The Blackcoat’s Daughter” and “The Silence,” and of course, her role as Sabrina in “Chilling Adventures of Sabrina.” Shipka’s portrayal of the teenage witch has earned her critical acclaim and a dedicated fan base. “I feel incredibly lucky to be a part of such an iconic show and to play a character like Sabrina. It’s been an amazing journey,” she says.
As for what’s next for Shipka, she reveals that she has a few exciting projects in the works, including the highly anticipated fourth season of “Chilling Adventures of Sabrina.” “I can’t wait for fans to see what’s in store for Sabrina and the rest of the characters. It’s going to be a wild ride,” she teases.
In the meantime, Shipka is looking forward to celebrating Halloween and enjoying all the spooky festivities. “I’m excited to dress up, watch scary movies, and of course, eat lots of candy. It’s the perfect way to get into the Halloween spirit,” she says with a grin.
