Actress Melissa George would never be considered a “scream queen”, unless you mention how many horror movies she’s appeared in, at which point, she’s likely to scream at you. No, not really; she’s far too nice to do that. When ShockTillYouDrop.com talked to the Aussie beauty about her vampire flick 30 Days of Night, she was surprisingly affable despite having faced hours of TV interviewers asking her many of the same questions.

In the movie based on the popular comic books, George plays Stella, estranged wife of Eben (Josh Hartnett), the town sheriff of remote Barrow, Alaska, which experiences a month of complete darkness once every year, except this time, there’s a band of vampires waiting to take advantage of the lack of sunlight for a 30-day feeding frenzy.
