SEMINOLE — Joe Davison battled a Demogorgon — and lost — in Season 2 of Stranger Things and helped create one of the horror industry’s most murderous killer clowns.
But he calls his latest project, Beauty Is Skin Deep, his “greatest success.”
“It’s really the first thing I have written, directed or produced that wasn’t a straight up horror movie with vampires or werewolves or witches,” the 45-year-old Seminole resident said. “It’s a thriller with story arcs and character development and mystery. It allowed me to do something different as a director and prove that I could.”
The film — shot throughout the Tampa Bay area in 2018 — is now streaming on Prime Video.
Written by Riverview’s Jennifer Phillips, Beauty Is Skin Deep tells the story of a string of teenage murders linked to high school romance drama.
“Beauty Is Skin Deep is Heathers meets Riverdale,” Davison said.
Davison has acted in 21 productions and directed 12, but might be best known for his role in Stranger Things as the Twizzler-eating tech who was gobbled by a Demogorgon in an elevator. He also wrote and starred as a detective in 100 Tears, about Gurdy the serial killer clown.
His Stranger Things character became a trending meme for ineptitude at work. And horror movie websites rank Gurdy as a Top 10 scary clown.
“Beauty Is Skin Deep is so different. There’s very little blood,” Davison said, adding with a laugh, “But there is blood because I fought tooth and nail that we needed some blood. I need a little blood. It’s who I am.”
