Actress Tay Ying got a little more than she bargained for when she took on the role of a character in a spooky series – and she’s hoping she never has the same experience twice.
“She’s not a ghost, but she’s very scary – the hair, and the getup,” he said. “She has this monotonous voice. And she literally drifts around. Sometimes she’d just suddenly appear from some room or other. Sometimes she scares people on purpose! I felt she helped us get into character because of how scary she was.”
Later, I was doing a scene on the second floor. The camera monitor was downstairs, it wasn’t recording. But the casting person said he saw some sort of white figure floating behind me, through the monitor. I was like, “Hmm, a white figure? That sounds familiar!” In the midst of our shooting, a tree actually fell on the house. The whole tree fell onto our lunch area. It was not lunch time, so no one was hurt. But there was always this sense of, ‘We need to respect this place.’ It was spooky, lah. There was a running challenge about who was going to stay there alone overnight. No one did, but I would have!
