Trivia

Katharine refuses to do nude scenes, and has had a body double for every instance where such a scene exists, including the bed and shower scenes in Freddy vs. Jason , the rising from the bed scene in Ginger Snaps Back: The Beginning , and the bed scene in Engaged to Kill , to name but three. The same woman body-doubled the latter two.

She said that when she went to a pharmacy after a day of shooting Ginger Snaps , the people there thought shed been beaten up since she was still covered in fake blood.

Was originally asked to audition to play "Lori" in Freddy vs. Jason , but when she arrived, director Ronny Yu asked her to audition for the role of "Gibb", claiming she would better suit a more liberal role. Katharine reluctantly accepted. Yu failed to tell her she would be expected to do the nude scenes, which would spark friction between the two during shooting when she made it clear she would not do the nude scenes.

Sister of former child actor and journalist Joshua Murray.

Daughter of Graeme Murray and Gail Murray.

Worked 3 times with her brother Joshua Murray : Cold Front , The Last Winter and Knight Moves .

In addition to the Ginger Snaps movie series, Katharine Isabelle and Emily Perkins have played sisters in Another Cinderella Story .

Both Katharine Isabelle and Emily Perkins (her co-star in the Ginger Snaps movies) have guest starred on "Supernatural" and "Da Vincis Inquest" ; but in different episodes.

She made guest appearances on all three of the longest running North American science fiction series: "The X Files" , "Stargate SG-1" and "Smallville" .

She is considered a modern day Scream Queen.

Her favorite film is Apocalypse Now .

Along with the coincidence of Katharine Isabelle and Emily Perkins auditioning for Ginger Snaps on the same day, the two actresses were also born in the same hospital, attended the same pre-school, elementary school and private school and worked through the same talent agency.

Was considered for the role of "Rogue" in X-Men , which went to Anna Paquin.

Quotes

They are definitely my favorites even now.

Although the reason for it is that horror fans are much more,enthusiastic than any other fans, except maybe comic movie fans.

All the hardcore horror fans are always really disappointed in my lack,of knowledge [of the horror genre].
