Fright Club

"I want you to scare me as hard as you can."

I want my heart to race. Later, I want to look over my shoulder, wondering what lurks in the dark.

More than I want this, I want to do it to you.

To have my writing raise goosebumps gives me extreme satisfaction, but there is always the, "what next" factor. Where can I push? What moves me? What moves you?

What goes bump in your night?

Why are so few women making horror movies? Seeking not to answer, but to lead by example; I am eager to haunt your dreams and make you check the dark corners.

Quentin Tarantino, Speilberg, Raimi, all say the same thing... Watch movies and make films to learn to make films. Needing a bit more technical craft and being linear by nature, I'm going to film school.

Here are some movies that make me leave the lights on:

  1. The Exorcist
  2. The Omen
  3. Rosemary's Baby
  4. Poltergeist
  5. Psycho
  6. A few specific episodes of "The Twilight Zone"
  7. House of Wax
  8. Nosferatu
  9. The Shining (Kubrick's)

There are many more, inclusive of my love of the slasher movie and "B" movie cult horror. Freddy, Jason, Mike Myers, Leatherface.... A girl can't help but love them.
