BANANA SPLITS STAR SARA CANNING - VIDEO

One Banana. Two Banana, Three Banana, Gore! Fleagle, Drooper, Bingo, and Snorky, the beloved children’s television hosts from Hannna Barbera’s 1968 Saturday morning variety show The Banana Splits Adventure Hour are back to bring you some , gore filled, nightmare fuel in The Banana Splits Movie. SyFy, with Blue Ribbon Content and Warner Bros. Home entertainment, offers us the tale of animatronic musicians from a children’s show who take extreme measures to make sure that the show goes on forever, no matter what the body count. Last month, while on assignment from Bleeding Cool at San Diego Comic Con 2019, the beautiful Sara Canning joins me to spill the blood, I mean beans, with Bleeding Cool.

Sara stars as Rebecca, the producer of the Banana Splits Show, and is eager to talk about this film. On reading the script for the first time Canning did not watch the show as a child so she had to look it up online. After watching the opening credits she thought “This is an acid trip. This is crazy.” she continues, “It is meant to be a straight horror film, but there are camp elements that arise just because its a bunch of furry things running around and massacring people.” 

The video of the interview below is A little SPOILERY, so fair warning. Sara talks about how much she loves working with Danishka Esterhazy (Level 16, Critters Attack), what draws her to the horror genre, her personal feelings about her character Rebbeca, and which one of the Splits is he favorite. There is also so much more, just push the sideways triangle to watch the magic.
