1 | [On why she didn't like Freddy vs Jason] I was expecting more from the film, but it's just the same old-same old. Running around and screaming "No Freddy, don't." |
2 | [on 'American Mary']. I have some friends who are just too scared to see it. My brother has seen it at least six times and still can't watch one scene in particular, but my mother made it through the whole thing without any problem at all. My dad was the very first person I went to with the script - to make sure I wasn't crazy for loving this. I knew if my dad liked it, it was good. |

5 | Both Katharine Isabelle and Emily Perkins (her co-star in the Ginger Snaps (2000) movies) have guest starred on Supernatural (2005) and Da Vinci's Inquest (1998); but in different episodes. |

10 | Was originally asked to audition to play "Lori" in Freddy vs. Jason (2003), but when she arrived, director Ronny Yu asked her to audition for the role of "Gibb", claiming she would better suit a more liberal role. Katharine reluctantly accepted. Yu failed to tell her she would be expected to do the nude scenes, which would spark friction between the two during shooting when she made it clear she would not do the nude scenes. |
11 | She said that when she went to a pharmacy after a day of shooting Ginger Snaps (2000), the people there thought she'd been beaten up since she was still covered in fake blood. |
12 | Katharine refuses to do nude scenes, and has had a body double for every instance where such a scene exists, including the bed and shower scenes in Freddy vs. Jason (2003), the rising from the bed scene in Ginger Snaps Back: The Beginning (2004), and the bed scene in Engaged to Kill (2006), to name but three. The same woman body-doubled the latter two. |
