Exclusive Interview: Allie Deberry Discusses A Haunting in Cawdor

Allie DeBerry, known for her fun, squeaky-clean roles on such TV shows as True Jackson and A.N.T. Farm, is moving into more adult roles with A Haunting in Cawdor.


BGG: With your work on A.N.T Farm, and now Lazer Team, you’ve become an impressionable role model for young girls. Do you sense that?

ALLIE DEBERRY: I have been told that by young girls many times, and it makes me feel so honored! It gives me a certain responsibility, but I don’t mind it. I hope that girls can admire what I’m doing, but also be themselves and find their own individualities.

BGG: Knowing that you’ve got such young fans, does that dictate your choices?

ALLIE: I have turned down several roles because I did not feel comfortable with the material and did not want my fans to accept what I was doing in the script as an ok behavior. However, I am getting into my 20’s now and it seems all the material I am given now is more mature. It’s still hard for me to accept, but I guess that is part of growing! (laughter)

BGG: How did you end up in a horror film? A real departure for you!

ALLIE: I had been talking for a while about wanting to do a darker role in a different genre film than what I was used to. I thought a horror film would be a good stretch and a great place to take that leap- so A Haunting in Cawdor came to me at just the right time!

BGG: Could you relate to the character?

ALLIE: My character is a past theater student, so I can relate to her there. But she is struggling and dealing with something a lot more intense that I could ever imagine. So it was a nice challenge for me to step into her shoes and forgo what haunts her.

BGG: Had you done theatre before? Could you relate to that element?

ALLIE: Theater is a huge element in the film, and surprisingly I have not do a ton of theater. I did a few plays a while back- Little Shop of Horrors being my favorite. I played Audrey. So while most everyone on set where big into theater, I was not as familiar. I remember accidentally saying “Mac Beth” in the Barn theater and everyone had a fit as that is supposed to curse the play. I thought it was pretty funny; I was just clueless.

BGG: You originally come from Texas. Do you get home much?

ALLIE: I joke that I am a gypsy because I am rarely in the same place for long. I get bored if I am! I do try to make it home every so often to visit friends and family, but I have a major case of wanderlust, so I’m usually on a few planes every week in a different city. That’s something I enjoy about my job is that it takes me to places I never would have traveled before- such as Battle Creek, Michigan for this movie!

BGG: I read that you’re related to a famous author. Is writing in your blood too?

ALLIE: I don’t know where this came from (editor: Wikipedia), but I’m not or if I was I am not aware of it…Guess I will have to check out some of their books though! (laughter)

A Haunting in Cawdor is released March 11 in cinemas and On Demand.

Buffet Bliss or Southern Swing-and-a-Miss? A Bite at Kacey’s in Huntsville

  Walk through the doors of Kacey’s Country Cooking in Huntsville and you’re greeted by the comforting smell of fried chicken, collard greens, and cornbread that could double as perfume for any true Southerner. This is where the buffet line reigns supreme, the sweet tea flows endlessly, and dessert is always just an arm’s reach away. For many locals, Kacey’s is a comfort food paradise. Fans brag about the fried green tomatoes, juicy pork chops, slow-cooked beef tips, and banana pudding that deserves its own holiday. The staff are another highlight—quick with refills, friendly enough to feel like family, and the kind of people who can make a buffet feel like Sunday dinner at grandma’s.

Like most buffets, it’s a roll of the dice: hit the line on a good day and you’ll be full and happy; catch it on an...
