About

Kelli Marchman McNeelyOwner & Editor-in-Chief

Co-owner of Horror Fuel, Kelli is an entertainment journalist and executive producer who runs the site’s day-to-day operations. She fell for horror at nine, watching Friday the 13th at a sleepover, and counts The Exorcist, The Exorcist III and Jaws among her favorites. She rebranded the original ZADF zombie-and-survival site into Horror Fuel and has been writing about horror for more than a decade.

Joseph joined Horror Fuel in 2019 and covers film festivals, news and reviews. A lifelong fan since The Creature from the Black Lagoon and Mothra first crossed his TV screen, he also contributes to VideoScope, Drive-In Asylum, Gruesome Magazine and Diabolique Magazine, and co-hosts the Decades of Horror: The Classic Era and Uphill Both Ways podcasts.

Daniel S. LiuzziGaming Editor

Daniel hails from Western New York — “the land of chicken wings, wine and snow” — and handles Horror Fuel’s gaming coverage. A lifelong fan of folklore, cryptids, ghost stories and classical horror, his first horror movie was Nosferatu (1922), while Alien (1979) pulled him to the dark side at eight or nine. The 7th Guest and Resident Evil 2 got him into survival horror, and Fatal Frame remains his favorite series.
