NEW YORK, June 27 (UPI) -- Get Out and Girls actress Allison Williams says she remembers feeling relieved when she saw the adorable relentless monster from her M3GAN horror movies was actually resonating with audiences.

"We were like, 'I hope people get her.' She's a very specific vibe. She's like that friend who [says], 'I'll kill him if he's mean to you,' and you're all laughing and she's like, 'No, no, I will.' And you're like: 'I believe you. You will,'" Williams, 37, recently told the crowd at New York Comic Con.

Shortly after the trailer for the first movie came out three years ago, people expressed their excitement about it online and M3GAN became an overnight meme sensation.

"People got her energy," Williams said. "We were so psyched because we were like: 'OK, she's in good hands. People understand.'"
