Is that a compliment? Kathryn Newton says her co-star Vince Vaughn helped her in the role of serial killer

The stars of the new slasher-comedy “Freaky" recently chatted with WGN’s Dean Richards

In it,  Vince Vaughn plays the maniacal killer, "The Blissfield Butcher," who stabs a young high school girl with a ceremonial knife thinking he'll get supernatural powers.  Instead, there's a body switch.   She becomes the killer and Vaughn’s character becomes a 6 foot, 5 inch, innocent high school girl offering up some big laughs and bloody scares.   

On a Zoom chat last week,  Vaughn and co-star Kathryn Newton talked about the dual role.   "Freaky" opens at the end of the week in theaters on Friday the 13th.
