Spending the next two decades making W.A.V.E. pictures, Krause shares her excitement with industry and fan attention. She also details the W.A.V.E. production experience, working with the thinnest of scripts and the loosest of direction, basically doing whatever she wants. A discussion of "Hayride Slaughter" is offered, with the interviewee describing her experience with the magic aspect of the endeavor, performing in front of a real audience. Interactions with co-stars are recalled, including a sex scene with Dean Paul, with the pair trying to work through awkwardness.
