VENICE, Italy (AP) – She’s been a vampire and now she’s a zombie, but Ashley Greene says she doesn’t even like horror films.
Greene, who played gentle bloodsucker Alice Cullen in the “Twilight” movies, is the undead ex-girlfriend of the title in “Burying the Ex,” Joe Dante’s zombie rom-com about a woman who comes back from the dead to haunt her former boyfriend.
“When I was young I loved them, but the older I’ve got, and living by myself, they freak me out a little more,” Greene told The Associated Press in Venice, where “Burying the Ex” is playing outside the film festival’s main competition.
“I actually try and steer clear of them for the most part – unless I’m making them,” said Greene, who was also haunted by a spirit summoned in a college experiment in 2012 chiller “The Apparition.”
“I don’t know if I want to meet the person who wrote ‘Saw,'” she said. “How do you come up with something like that?”
