Check out this great interview over at MTV’s Hollywood Crush with Malese Jow.  She talks about how she didn’t find out she was playing a vampire until she was actually on set! And she reveals how they do the really cool veiny vampire eyes!! Check it out!

Malese recalled to Hollywood Crush that when she auditioned for the part, all she had to go on was a short description that said Anna was supposed to be a shy and geeky girl. “There was really nothing in there that made me think that she was going to be a vampire,” Malese said. “Once I got to the producer session, they said, ‘Can you read it a little more menacing?’ and I was like ‘Huh, ok.’ I didn’t know that she was going to be a vampire until the day I got on set they were like, ‘You’re going to be fitted for contacts.’”

Speaking of those vampire contacts, Malese said they’re “very, very hard to put in because they cover your whole eye.” The fangs, which are molded to her teeth, are real too (“I’m hoping that I can get to keep them!”), but the rest of the vampire look (the creepy, veiny eyes) is a special effect. “I thought they were going to draw red eyes and put in the veins, but it’s actually little black dots, two above your eyes and two below your eyes, and then they CGI everything.”
