David Duchovny: “That’s the hardest part. (audio only) It can be hard on set as well if you’re in a high-stressed, high-pressure situation and you are acting off of a tennis ball or Gillian eating an apple off camera or something.”
Both Duchovny and Maggs discussed how much they enjoyed doing these scary audible stories comparing it to telling ghost stories around a campfire. Duchovny said it reminded him of the first season of The X-Files, when they had no money for special effects and their Director of Photography told them to just make everything dark because “it’s really your imagination that will scare the shit out of you.”
But the medium also means that in order for the story to be scary, the story and writing need to be excellent. Duchovny pointed out that in an audio drama you can’t depend on props, sets, or fancy special effects to scare people, or to make up for poor acting or poor writing, the words and the way they are delivered are the whole story.
You’re probably right about Trump. It sounds like something David would say for sure.
It wouldn’t bother me so much if the David and Gillian’s tags weren’t polluted by those people who can’t see that not everything has to be about Gillovny.
It drives me crazy when a bunch of teenagers have the power to mess up the fandom like this for absolutely nothing! Nothing happened at all, and I keep getting asks about why did David say this or that. As if we didn’t have enough to deal with what happened for real!
