Variety – 20 March 2015
Hollywood headed down south for the 2015 SXSW film, interactive and music festival in Austin, Texas, for the annual 10-day event, which wraps up on March 22.
SXSW kicked off on Friday the 13th, very fittingly with a haunted house party, hosted by WGN America’s supernatural thriller “Salem.”
“It’s funky-town,” new cast member Lucy Lawless told Variety, hours after arriving at SXSW with her co-stars (the entire “Salem” cast took a six-hour road trip together from their Shreveport, La., set to Austin, thanks to their flights being canceled at the last minute). “[Austin] has got so much character. We’re in skunkytown at this moment!” Lawless added, as a skunk-like scent wafted over the scene.

Video
Ahead of the April 5 season two premiere of WGN's Salem, we sat down with the cast to talk about some of the best parts of making the show. We got the lowdown on spooky supernatural occurrences on set and the off-script moments where the stars couldn't help but start laughing. Watch the video for all that, plus the most creative ways for you to insult your friends, colonial style.
