Today, I caught up with Australian actress Bianca Bradey star the indie zombie hit ‘Wyrmwood: Road of the Dead‘, who I first interviewed back in 2014. In ‘Wyrmwood: Road of the Dead’, after a comet breaks up above Earth, much of the world’s population quickly becomes affected by a strange illness, turning them into zombies with an intense hunger for human flesh. A group of survivors has banned together. Barry (Jay Gallagher) and his group are on a mission, his sister, Brooke (Bianca Bradley), has been kidnapped by a twisted doctor who carries out strange experiments. Barry and the rest of the group head out to rescue Brooke, not knowing that the experiments have given her a new power. A new series, ‘Wyrmwood TV‘, linked to the film, has just been announced. Bradey was willing to answer a few of my questions and filled us in on the upcoming series. We also discussed what she has been up to since

Horror legend status for a character in a horror film, this is an accolade that is normally attributed to the villains and either the last man standing or more often the final girl. It’s not very often that the villain and final girl happen to be the same character. But for a 13 year old Felissa Rose, this would be the case…well, sort of. And it would be this role, which incidentally was her very first, that would immediately solidify her position as a horror legend. This Long Island native would make her debut in the role of Angela Baker in the 1983 classic summer camp horror flick, Sleepaway Camp. All the while Felissa knew that she was the killer in question, but it was a shock even to her what the big reveal at the end of the film would be. At this point I’m not even calling the twist ending a spoiler, because the movie is nearly 34

Hello again my Little Monsters, as previously promised I have returned to highlight yet another lovely and talented woman of the horror genre. This particular woman in horror, is one that I first became aware of back in the heyday of brick and mortar video stores and VHS movie rentals. Of course Danielle Harris was a young girl then but has grown up to be one of the most recognized faces in the genre. In the spring of 1988, Danielle had beaten out several young actresses, including Melissa Joan Hart, to play the role of Laurie Strode’s young daughter, Jamie Lloyd, in Halloween 4: The Return of Michael Myers. Prior to taking on this role, she had only acted in one episode each of the TV series One Life to Live and Spencer for Hire. Danielle would reprise her role of Jamie LLoyd nearly one year later in Halloween 5: The Revenge of Michael Myers. At the age of 12

The world has obviously changed drastically since the 1800s, but during that time in Australia there was what is called baby farming. It was for poor parents or single parents who were unable to raise their children. They would pay another couple to take the child so that there would be the possibility of a prosperous and happy life…John and Sarah Makin robbed the babies they farmed of both a prosperous life and life in general. These two monsters were a match made in Hell. John Makin was born on February 14, 1845 and Sarah was born August 15 of the same year. The couple were wed on August 27, 1871. Sarah had been married before and brought one child into the marriage and then had another daughter with John. John worked as a drayman (a driver of a low, flatbed wagon that transported various kinds of goods) and was injured which forced him to quit and the couple was

Hello my Little Monsters, and thank you for joining me once again. As you may well know, it’s Women in Horror Month. And while it’s great that women heave a month during which we celebrate their substantial contribution to the horror genre, I truly believe that they should always be celebrated. So going forward on Wednesdays I will throw a spotlight on one of our wonderful women of horror. Today I’m going to start with my first ever TRUE crush – Dee Wallace (swoons). For me the spring of 1982 was when I first became aware of Ms. Wallace. Granted the summer of this year would also be when she unknowingly harbored a alien being in her home in a little movie called E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial. And even though this is when I first started crushing on her, it wasn’t the movie I first had seen her in. Actually, I was in second grade, and during spring break while watching

I have done a number of articles on serial killers, mass murderers and other horrific people, but this moth I turn my focus to the world of female terror.

At 12 years old she had an affair with a married physician and birthed a son named Oskar. Her horrified family sent her to the States without her child to live with relatives there.
