Woman (In Horror) Crush Wednesday: Vera Farmiga

Hello there, my Little Monsters. We are midway through another week, and therefor it’s time to celebrate another wonderful Woman of Horror. With as many of them as there are in the genre, it can be difficult to decide on just who to highlight. But after watching one of this actress’ films last night I thought I would conjure up a Woman Crush Wednesday piece about her. See what I did there? CONJURE? OK…I know, that was cheesy. Anyway, it’s my pleasure to bring you this week’s lovely and talented lady, Miss Vera Farmiga. Vera was born in Clifton , New Jersey, to Michael and Luba Farmiga, and was raised in a rather sectarian Ukranian American community in Irvington, New Jersey.

Her first language was Ukranian, and she didn’t even learn English until the

Woman (In Horror) Crush Wednesday: Linda Blair

Well, my Little Monsters, we are at that point in the week where we make that downhill run towards the weekend. Now I had another actress originally slated to be highlighted today, but I made a calculated decision to focus on Linda Blair due to an event that’s happening this weekend. In two days Days of the Dead is descending on Indianapolis for three days of horror related festivities, and Linda was very recently confirmed to be in attendance as one of many media guests. With that in mind I felt it appropriate to go ahead and highlight this particular wonderful Woman of Horror, that I would have undoubtedly have written about eventually. So without further ado, I give you Miss Linda Blair. Linda was the baby in her family, being the youngest of three children. She was born in St. Louis, Missouri, but would grow up in Westport, Connecticut. Linda’s career kicked off at the tender age of five,

Brandon Cronenberg To Direct The Sc-fi Horror Film DRAGON

Brandon Cronenberg (David Cronenberg’s son), who made his great feature debut with Antiviral, is set direct and co-write Dragon, a sci-fi thriller that he describes as “like an adaption of an imagined Philip K. Dick novel.” Dragon, set in the near future, society has radically changed as a result of discovering ancient organic lifeforms drifting through the universe, whose alien biochemistry has been processed to create a hugely profitable drug that acts as an opiate to the masses. The film follows a captain and her crew as they hunt the “dragons” in space. He has stated that the film will explore “the pleasures of space horror in a satirical and at times psychotic universe.” Cronenberg is co-writing Dragon with Dan Abnett of Marvel Comics. Filming is set to begin in mid-2018 with Prospero Pictures and Independent producing, Variety reports.

Woman (In Horror) Crush Wednesday: Kristina Klebe

Greetings my Little Monsters! I am so pleased you’ve all returned to help me celebrate another wonderful Woman of Horror. I do have to admit that I feel remiss in my duties, having waited so long to write about this immensely talented woman. So, without further adieou, I present to you, Kristina Klebe. Kristina was born in New York City, but would grow up making the rounds with her family spending time in New York, France, Germany and Italy. The time spent growing up abroad allowed her to become fluent in the three aforementioned foreign languages.

However these activities would have to take a back seat so that Kristina could commit more fully to her true love of acting.
