What happens when an empath steps into the world of nightmares?

For A Nightmare on Elm Street 5 star Beatrice Boepple, who played Amanda “Mama” Krueger, horror became an unexpected path toward healing. Through fan letters, convention stories, and her own reflections, she discovered that horror can be a safe way to process pain, grief, and fear.

Beatrice joins Corey for a heartfelt conversation about empathy, creativity, and community. Together they explore how horror helps people face trauma, find belonging, and transform fear into strength.

Shortly before this episode’s release, Beatrice’s earnings were stolen at ScareFest. What followed showed the best of the horror world. Fans, staff, vendors, and fellow actors came together to help her recover nearly everything she lost. In this episode, she and Corey share how that outpouring reminded them why the horror community feels like family.

They also honor Mark Patton, the original Elm Street “final guy,” whose courage and generosity continue to inspire horror fans around the world.

Beatrice V2

Beatrice: It hasn't come through.

I'm not sure, we usually don't have, uh, technical difficulties like this, but, um, I wanna be mindful of your time. Do you, are you open to rescheduling and we can chat on Instagram about maybe, um, how we can better work this out?

Corey: Yes, yes. I can call you.

Hello, you've reached Willow Tree Yoga. We're not able to take your call right now, so please leave a message and your phone number and we'll get back to you as soon as possible.

Beatrice: Can you show me the number one more time? It's not popping up.

When we were kids, we didn't have any of his stuff.

Crazy. I guess I should hang up so we don't have the echo, right?

Beatrice: Yeah, I'll, we can, I'll go ahead and just lose the video. But before, really quickly before I do, I just wanted to show you, um, so we kind of have a mascot for the show who we have named, um, Beatrice, she's one of our former guests, um, takes old dolls and just.

Horrifies them. And, uh, so yeah, I just wanted to say hello to Beatrice. She's our unofficial mascot.

Oh my goodness. He's creepy. Yeah. Not as cute as, I dunno if you can see my, uh

Beatrice: Oh, yeah. I love that.

Horrible, Amanda.

Beatrice: Yeah. She's so cute. I love that. All right, I'll, I'll hang up now and we can, so you, we lose the echo.

Lose the

echo. Okay.

Beatrice: Oh goodness. So sorry about that. You know, it's, I think they,

every single thing, like the, the, you know, everything wasn't working then. I'm trying to call the chat. I couldn't see your chat then. I couldn't, when I dialed suddenly. The last thing was that I had my phone because we were doing an interview. I didn't want it to ring, so I had the ringer off.

Right. So I didn't hear when you first called me. Oh goodness. I think I had it on did not disturb and all that stuff. Whatever. Finally.

Beatrice: Yeah, it's, I mean, we had something like, but we've had two in a row that are just completely fine. I mean, I would say 95% we, we don't have any issues, but we were on with someone who was doing it from her car.

She was on the Chrome browser. But yeah, just we ended up having to do this phone thing because it just was not, yeah. But anyway. Hi. Wonderful to meet you.

Yes, you as well. You as well.

Beatrice: Do you have any questions before we get going?

Um, no, I guess not. I mean, you can hear me on the phone.

Beatrice: Yep. Yes. And, uh, so I'm, yeah, I'm, I'm recording it and we, I use, uh, there's like audio enhancers and stuff in our, when, when I do editing and stuff, so it, it ends up being the audio's gonna be fine, so.

Okay. Wonderful. Wonderful. And do you pronounce your first name, Beatrice?

Yes, Beatrice. And the last name Ley.

Beatrice: Buley love

itp. PLE.

Beatrice: That is such a fun name.

Like Bubbly. Bubbly, you know?

So one of our early guests, um, we've been doing this for almost a year, was, uh, she volunteers at a lot of horror conventions. Donna Jean, and I think she's worked with you before and just mentioned like, what a, what a perfect addition you would be to the show. Because unfortunately our paths have not crossed in person.

Like I I I go to a lot of horror conventions. I know you go to horror conventions, but we haven't been at the same one. However, I've seen, you know, through social media and things like that, um, just how important the fans are to you and how important you are to the fans. And so, and that got me thinking like, oh, you know, horror, our whole theme of horror being good for our mental wellness.

Well, yeah, clearly. Um, you're one of the people out there that are make, that's making that happen.

And I've learned so much through the interaction with fans, um, because I. You know, I, I have to, full disclosure, I was not, um, a horror fan myself, which, you know, I, I am sure you've heard a lot of horror actors, aren't really horror fans. Right. And, and the main thing for me is because I'm just, I'm very, um, what's the word?

I'm an empath and I feel. Yeah, what people feel. And as an actor, you know, it's a good tool as an actor because I can really feel, but it means that when I'm watching a lot of violence and gore, like I feel it in my body. It just grosses me out and I get nauseous and stuff, so I can't really watch Gore.

Yeah. However, you know, spooky things I've. To a degree I've always loved because I lived in Japan as a little girl. Um, and Japanese ghost stories are some of the creepiest hst, um, things. Oh yeah. So I, I get the, I get the, the delight of that thrill. But, you know, gore itself, I just couldn't handle. Um, so I didn't, you know, really.

Even horror films are full of violence. So I was like, well, how did the two go together? Right. Yeah. But that, but I certainly, you know, have learned a whole lot from, from fans and I. On social media, I've often asked, you know, what is it about it? Why did it mean so much to you? Because people would always be saying, oh, you know, you were so much a part of my childhood.

Mm-hmm. Um, you know, back in the sixties, parents didn't teach kids alphabet when they were babies. They do it now, but anyway, so I didn't even know the alphabet. So when I came back at age nine going into fourth grade, you know, everyone's already writing cursive. I didn't even know the alphabet. So I had to really catch up to learn to read and write in English.

And Sesame Street was, you know, a huge part of that for me.

Beatrice: Absolutely. Yeah. And of course, you know. Of us who love horror, love the fact that Sesame Street had monsters but friendly monsters, right?

Yes, of course. Yeah. And all that. Yeah.

Beatrice: Yes. you know, the horror and healing concept is certainly not something that I thought about as a kid growing up, you know, certainly wasn't, um, in, in my purview when I first saw you as Amanda Krueger, you know, 35 years ago.

Um, but. Once I started going to the conventions myself and, you know, getting to know the, the guests and attendees and the volunteers and stuff, I really felt like horror conventions were my happy place. You know, like that I'm never not feeling any kind of stress or anxiety there. And I think it's just the, it's everybody's vibe.

Right. Yeah. They see the, they see the horror, family connection, um, conventions are, you know, are such a world unto themselves, you know, and, and I think, you know, the horror community in particular is, is. So, um, yeah, so accepting, you know, I think probably because, you know, it's so, like with monsters and with all these different characters, it's so kind of, um, you know, and then when you, when you, um, cosplay as these monsters and stuff, you, you can hide a multitude of, uh.

Shortcomings, I guess, that you might feel otherwise, you know, and, and just people accept, I think just people are much more accepting in the horror community of, of all kinds of, whether it's disabilities, whether it's just, you know, personal quirks, whether it's, you know, um, whatever the differences are. I, I do find it a much more welcoming community, but aside from the conventions, the films themselves, I was, I was really pondering like, why did you find it?

It to the end because these characters are heroes. They, they have to somehow, at some point, overcome certain fears to face the monster. And even though the franchises to make more money and to keep the fans happy, will keep making more at the end of each one, at least for a part, for a moment , the, the monster dies.

Mm-hmm. And the thing that I find especially about the eighties horror, you know, I, I, I can't, I don't know if the formulas throughout all the different, um, franchises now, but certainly let's talking about Jason and Freddy now that I've played both of their moms. Um, but, um, both Freddy Ger and and Jason Voorhees were victims of, you know, taunting and teasing.

They were bullied as kids. You know, so it really gives the kids, you know, some, you know, or the audience, some, somebody to identify with if they want to identify with the killer because, you know, the killer gets back for, gets back at those people who bullied him. You know, Freddy goes after the kids of all his bullies, people that bullied him when he was a kid.

So, you know, so there's that. There's that side of it too. So either way it kind of gives the bully. I mean, um, the Bleed people, uh, a way to process it like, oh, I can be strong like Freddy and, you know, and just fantasize about getting back at their, at, at the people who bullied them or just, or being the final girl and standing up to the bully.

Corey: Right.

Um. I, I was a victim of rape myself, and, and I have gotten letters from women who share that they felt that their plight was kind of being shown, like this woman who, who had to sort of overcome that and still keep going, you know? And I didn't realize that people would see it to that degree, you know, identify, like with Amanda Kruger and, and her, her being.

And if, if watching that when you're young and being able to root for those people, um, on screen is, is helpful. You know, again, that's, that's another powerful aspect of, of these films that I didn't, you know, really realize until I heard it from fans.

Beatrice: Yeah, absolutely. Absolutely. Yeah. Um, when did you have that aha moment that Amanda Krueger's story wasn't completely told and you were gonna be the one to tell it?

during COVID, um, I had a lot of time and, and you know, so I, I and I had already, you know, started to do conventions and such. Um, well, not so much at that point. I think I had only done a few before COVID, but, um. But it gave time to really think about Amanda and her, the story that I had given to her when I was playing the character.

Because you know, as actors, we, we do backstory on our characters. You know, most actors do. You kind of try to give them a history so that you're bringing a real, full person to life, not just the person that appears on a few pages, but you know Right. Their background. And one of the biggest questions I had was, how does Freddy know who she is?

Corey: Yeah.

And so she would've. Had access to him probably, you know, and, and as a mother you don't wanna give up your child.

And even though she was the woman of the, and it was, you know, she had to give him up. I'm sure it was a huge internal battle for her to have to give up her child that she didn't wanna give up, even though he was a child of rape, that didn't matter. You know, to her it was still a baby going inside her.

Right. And so I imagine that they had, you know, some connection during that. Um. That time that he was in the orphanage before he got adopted by his creepy dad. You know? And in the, and in the film that also, you know, it's just so not, you don't really get to see. What made Alice Cooper's character, you know, beat the crap out of Freddie.

It basically is the story told through Amanda Kruger's voice. It's her character, you know, recounting this. And so as the reader you'll know a lot more than she knows. Um, you know, because she doesn't know that he's the first son's a killer and she doesn't know that these things are gonna happen and it's follows the storyline that we learned through mostly AM Street five and six.

Um, you know, that he. How, how he came to be and, and then, you know, how he ends up getting married and killing his daughter, I mean his wife in front of his daughter and all that kind of stuff. And I just extrapolate from those. I pulled the stories out and flushed them out. So, um, you know, uh, yeah. So it's, it's, it's a story.

And, and a little more insight into Freddy and, and certainly more insight into that. His stepdad, I gave, I kind of gave a, a storyline to him as well. Um. Which just all start to flow out when I start to write it.

Beatrice: Which is awesome. And I think that's one of the really cool things that we've seen, you know, in the last couple of decades and, and continue to grow, is that fans are kind of taking ownership of these characters that they love.

And, and there's amazing fan films out there that people can watch, you know, for free, that are obviously labors of love as 'cause as, you know, how, how challenging it is to get a movie made. Uh, and then, you know, people writing, you know. Fiction. Fiction, you know, they're kind of further deep in characters and stuff.

I think it's, it's great, you know, it's, and it's a, a really cool thing for like, the fans to be able to like, um, better relate to the creators too.

Right? Yeah. And, um, actually, mark, um, Mark Patton had sort of encouraged me too, because, you know, he, he's written Jesse's journals. Mm-hmm. You know, which were, which were, um.

Beatrice: there's, I I, I think that some of them have been involved in like, some of the comic books, you know, and nobody's immediately coming to mind.

But yeah, I think that there's been some of the, um, actors that have been involved with writing comic books.

Yeah. And we certainly, you know, and then a lot of, well, again, maybe I'm not sure, but, but I've certainly appeared in a couple of fan films Recreating Amanda. Yeah. Um, which has been a lot of fun and which was made it so crazy when I, when I was asked to do, um, Pamela War Hayes, because you know, there's the other.

You know, iconic horror guy's, mom. Right. You know, and I, after playing Pamela Borge, um, and I played her in two, two fan films, I was thinking to myself, oh my gosh, now I just need to get Michael Myers so I can play his mom. That would be my trifecta, and I could die happy knowing that I'm the mother of all horror.

Right.

Corey: Exactly.

It's really, he has, mark is one of my closest friends from the Elm Street franchise and he's just been through us as, you know, just the ringer.

I mean, throughout life. I mean, we've just had a real rough time of it all. He keeps rising back and, and, you know, shining out and, but this time it's really knocked him down. It's, it's taking so much out of him and he, he's so wanting to be back out and, and meeting up with his fans. But I mean, financially he needs it.

Obviously. He really needs the work. He needs the finances, but also he just, you know, it's his time to be with everybody and he's, you know, he's really hurting for that. He wants, he wants to be. And connecting. So it's, it's so hard because every time he sits up, he gets busy. He, you know, he's struggling.

Yeah, he's struggling a lot. Um, he is still scheduled to be at, and I really appreciate, um, Adrian Deacon who, um, you know, who runs basically. She, you know, she's the person that makes everything happen there. Um. She was willing to do whatever she can to, you know, help accommodate him if, if he can make it there.

Right. Um, but it's, right now it's tough. It's

Exactly. Exactly. And he's done, you know, just in the past few years he's been doing so much really exciting work. You know, his career was getting a whole new injection into it. And, um, you know, a whole new chapter with new films, you know, swallowed and, and, um, of what's the one he just did be the Issa. Um, uh, you know, he's got a number of projects that he, he completed and with more to come.

He was scheduled to do a number of other ones. So it's kind of a, it's a toughie.

Corey: Yeah.

Well, I, but yeah, mark that, I mean, M Street too for sure is, is in inform of your whole, um, team, you know, had such a huge impact Right. To, yeah. To the gay community. Absolutely. You know, to really give an icon to give the final girl to the screen queen, you know?

Beatrice: No, I, I agree with you and I, I'm, it's, it really brings us joy that, that movie that was, um, treated so disrespectfully upon release is now like, it's got this new life. And I know that they're, they, they're remastering all the films, you know, for release, um, I think next month. And I'm really looking forward to seeing, you know, those, those new visions, especially part two,

right?

Yeah. Yeah. So.

Jack was just out there, you know, in, in the Hollywood, the Jack, um, oh my God, what's his last name? Um, the direct, uh, shoulder. Yeah. Jack, Jack Shoulder was, yeah. Um, you know, out there doing, working with, with one of brothers, doing the remastering of it. Um, yeah, I mean, we could talk at for ages about. Mark a different topic altogether, but Sure.

Well, it's just not, but I'm so glad his loving fans are reaching out to him. I mean, it means the world to him and, you know, keep, keep going. Even, you know, people that can't give money, just reminding him how much he's loved. Right. He just continually is, is really a, a great gift.

Beatrice: Absolutely. Absolutely.

For sure. Like every family, there are some, you know, in, in fighting and some squabbles and you know, of course siblings that, that sight all the time. But, uh, overall, yeah, overall it's very loving, you know, inclusive family.

So,

Beatrice: so I'm curious, as you know, someone who's not big into. The gore and stuff as, as an empath. When you got the role, had you seen any of the previous films and did you feel compelled to, if you hadn't to watch them before you played Amanda?

Yeah, well it was interesting. I had only seen Elm Street, the first one.

Um, you know, which. It was terrifying. And I just remember like the, I mean the, the, the chalkboard, the nails on the chalkboard alone was just, ah, you know, just even thinking about it, I can feel literally thinking about it. I feel, um, in my chest this sort of like, you know, it's a visceral thing, you know? Um.

Johnny Depp and stuff, who, that was the first time seeing him, Amanda Weiss, first time seeing her, and then literally within five years I had worked with Johnny Depp on 21 Jump Street. I, you know, worked with Amanda Weiss on a, on a film in Vancouver, brought the first woman firefighter, and then I ended up playing.

Robert, you know, Freddy's mother, right? It was like, like, whoa, this is so bizarre. But yeah, no, I didn't, uh, other than the first, I had not seen two, three, or four. And, uh, you know, to be honest, um, I didn't even realize that Amanda had been portrayed at that time. I didn't realize she'd been portrayed before.

You know, I, number three, and in a lot of ways. I'm glad I, I think so. I think ultimately I'm glad I did not see it because we portrayed her so differently.

maybe there would've been more consistency, but I don't know, a, the sense that it hated on five, I think would've hated on it. Even if I played her to be more like Nance n Amanda, um, that I don't think would've made a difference.

Right. You know, man, Martin herself. I mean, she would've, you know, at that point she was already. Late, you know, sixties. I'm trying to remember. Yeah, she, I mean she was definitely in her sixties, so she would've been almost 70 at, but when we did five, so obviously she couldn't have played it. Right. I mean, that have been un, unless they did that, I mean that, that's another way they could have done it in some way.

They could have made a totally different choice and had the old, you know.

That might've been cooler in some ways, don't you think? Like her giving birth, but, but I think the whole idea was, you know, kind of re pulling back to that time that she had given birth to him. Right? That's why she was young again. So she was the young mom giving birth. However, she still comes out. And this is what always people, I, I don't know why people don't get it, but people are like, why?

You know, why is he all burnt up? Because he's being reborn. Like it's not, of course he wasn't burn the first time he was born, but this is now Freddie Kruger trying to come back. Right. You know, through being born again. So he's coming back through as he's already now the burnt up Freddie. So there we have that Beautiful.

But, uh, anyway, um. So I don't know what we were

Beatrice: talking about. Now I got all

down that.

Beatrice: That's okay. Um, well, you know, speaking of the earrings, uh, one of the, it's, it's really cool to see, um, the gifts that the fans bring you. Can you talk a little bit like how did that get started and, and what was your reaction when somebody brought you something the first time?

Oh, I was so touched. I, um, you know, um. Somebody had made like a little, little Freddie Cougar, um, uh, Elm Street house, you know, the little mm-hmm. Street house, a little model of it. And, and he gave me that and I was just like, so moved and touched and, you know, I put it in my office. And then it's funny because my officer evolved like I, I.

I just started collecting it and, and I sometimes do a podcast myself. Was, uh, John Henderson called, um, DK and the B DK for Tays Crypt and the b being me. Um, horror buzz. And it's just a way to connect for me. It's a way to be able to connect with friends, you know, and, and, and we always try to give out a prize and, you know, I've gotten to know a lot of people that way.

But anyway, so what they see in the background, my office, it's become this whole. Wall of Amanda Kruger and Nightmare on Elm Street. It honors the fans that gave me that art and it's honoring Amanda Kruger. And you know, if anyone, when I die, if anyone's like, really, you know, if there's some horror museum that wants to have a Amanda Kruger corner next to their Freddie Kruger massive room, they can, they can tap into my family and get that, because I'm sure I have more Amanda stuff than anyone on the planet.

I. That's awesome. That makes sense. I'm, I'm known that later, so you, whatever.

Well, yeah. Um, back to Scare Fest. They, they were the first of the only show actually that, uh, had me also do a, a yoga class, which I'll be doing again at Scare Fest this fall.

Um, it's like chillers stretch with Amanda Kruger. So I, so I kind of leave people in a nice, you know, stretch that you can, you know, work out your kinks, but from walking around the floor of the convention all weekend, um. But I've also had it collide in a negative way. It was the strangest experience, and, and I'm sure he won't ever listen to this podcast, but if he ever does, I had a yoga teacher, um, that was teaching at my studio.

I, I hire a lot of teachers and, um, as well as teaching myself. But this one guy, you know. Uh, I guess, you know, most of the people start to know that I also played Amanda Kruger. Um, I don't normally announce it, but I mean, he was working at my studio and one day he was subbing for me. Um, 'cause I was filming, actually it was when I was filming, um, Pam Lavo for blood loss, um, Friday the 13th, blood LST and film.

Right. I didn't have any blood on me, and, but next to me was the actor who, um, was playing Jason and, you know, he had the full mask and everything, you know, and, and as Jason often is, there's some, you know, fake blood on his shirt or whatever. But it, it was just us hugging like mom and son. Yeah. There was no dead bodies.

Nothing gory, anything like that. The reaction was so negative. The guy's like, you were seeing me something so vile again, and I was like, whoa, I'm sorry. Like whatever. I'm sorry. I just, you know, it was just from filming. No, I don't wanna hear any of this. Um, what was the word he used? Toxic imagery. Like, okay, I'm sorry.

It's not all just and violence. So I wanted to share that with him. I thought it'd be an interesting thing 'cause it was new to me. So I, I call him and he won't answer and I call again and I leave a message and please call me back. I wanna explain something that I've learned as a yoga teacher about the horror film.

He texts back, he goes, don't call me again.

Corey: I was like, what?

So I texted again saying, excuse me. I, you know, we worked together. I went, there's something I just want to explain to you. And then he sent me a message saying, I quit. I can't work at such a toxic place. And like really had this huge reaction and ended up like really dissing me on, um, put, put a review on.

What is that? Um,

Corey: Yelp.

And it, it had to come to terms with like. There's something in him, right? Literally that's triggered by this and there's, yeah. I don't know what it is, but it was so beyond scope of, you know, and, and, and be umic actually, his reaction right. Was here to learn and be flexible and, and to not wanna hear somebody like I.

I can't think of any situation in life where, I mean, unless it's been going on and on and on, and, you know, every time you talk to this person it just goes nowhere and it becomes bitter and something like that. I could see maybe not wanting to, you know, enough, let's just stop, you know. But it's like the first time we'd gotten along great.

But you know, I just, please don't tell me those. I just don't wanna see a picture. Just, you know, I don't know, whatever. Maybe he was really attacked by Jason. I dunno what his back story is, but

Beatrice: you know. Right. That, yeah. As you were telling that, I was thinking just how bizarre, like of all types of healers, a yoga practitioner, you, you just think of them as like open mind, completely open-minded people and like to not even give you the opportunity to explain something.

You know, it's not like you had, it's not like Jason was holding your bloody head.

Right. You know, and that was the other thing too. If I had sent an image, you know. If it's acting, I get it. Like if it's a, you know, gory because like I, as I mentioned to you, I'm, I'm, I'm empathic and I feel things, and I, I remember, uh, just to side story on that, I was, um, years ago actually, right after doing Elm Street, I was living in LA and I wanted to try my hand at writing, script writing, and I got ended up getting a job offer to write a script about the bull Paul.

I didn't even put two and two together, but I was reading, as I was reading it was describing what was happening with the gases were leaking. Mm-hmm. And people's eyes were getting red and their throats were starting to hurt. But I, one of the other Raiders, walks in and goes, holy shit, what's wrong with you?

I said, what? And he goes, look at your face. And I, my whole face had swollen. My eyes, everything puffed out and everything. And I was like, what the hell? And it was just from reading that like, that it, my body actually physically took on all the things. Um, and, and it's been a danger as a yoga teacher because I'm telling you, it's happened too many times to be coincidence where somebody will come in with an injury.

Wow. Um, somebody got their finger caught in a blender, and I remember thinking, and this actually somebody was my mom, to be honest with you, but she, she cut her finger, caught in a blender and had to get eight stitches on her left. The middle finger or the second finger of her left hand. And I remember thinking, oh my God, you know, maybe she's, she needs to be put in a home.

Like she really got in that scene now. Like, who, who'd be so stupid as to put their finger in a blender. I did it the next like lit literally about a week later, and the same thing happened and I ended up getting eight and that same finger, it just happens so, so often. And another yoga student thought.

Their back. They had a herniation. They ended up having to get, um, surgery. And the exact same thing happened to me, the same L four, L five, L five F on the same joints. I have to get, um, shoes just after this guy. It's just freaky. That's why, for me to watch, watch horror films, right?

Corey: Yeah.

Yes.
