Hello! Please introduce yourself.
Hi Emile! Thank you for asking me to be part of this series!
My name is Reyna “Chainsaw Queen” Velarde and I started performing at age 4 in a musical production of Pinocchio as a ballerina. In ballet class, I always wanted to play the evil characters which started while playing “angels vs. devils”. Of course, I wanted to be the devil!
Please introduce yourself.
Well, I’m a writer, 44 years young, with a wicked imagination and a lot of time on her hands. I have a Bachelor of Arts Degree in English with a Concentration in Creative Writing from Cardinal Stritch University. I work from home on my writing and my art. I’m also a photographer, a mixed media artist, a guerilla chalk artist, a watercolorist, and a rock painter. I also am a submissions reader for JournalStone, Trepidatio Publishing, and Nightscape Press.
Please introduce yourself.
Hi there, my name is Kerry Wieder, (spelled “i” before “e”, and pronounced “Weeder”), and I am an actress, director, and writer. I am a passionate storyteller, who also loves taking pictures of plants, gardening, and playing the ukulele and singing. I am also a blood platelet and plasma donor. Okay, wait a minute, this is starting to sound like a dating app profile, so let’s get to my credits.
The day The Smiths separate, a group of teens find themselves lost, more than usual, in this mystery called life. In a misguided attempt at showing the world what he believes in and what has saved him, one of them takes a heavy metal station DJ hostage.
Thank you for participating in this year’s Women in Horror Month at Cinema Crazed.
Thank you. I appreciate getting to know other females and femme identifying folks in the horror field, especially those who uplift and encourage others to showcase their best. Another reminder that we’re all in this together. I believe it speaks volumes to the dedication in your own craft, and how much you care about making sure our voices are heard and understood correctly. Thank you for the all the hard work you continue to do for women in the horror realm.
Please introduce yourself.
My name is Trish Wilson, and I write horror fiction as E. A. Black. I’m Elizabeth Black on social media.
What is it that attracts you the horror genre for your chosen field of creative work?
I love being scared in a safe environment. I know when reading or watching horror that nothing I’m seeing or hearing can actually hurt me.

Please introduce yourself.
I’m an actor/writer/director and visual artist originally from Germany. Film is my absolute passion – it’s on my mind every day! My favorite genre is horror, specifically sci-fi and folk horror. A few years ago, I branched out from acting and also started working on numerous film sets behind the scenes, adding knowledge and skills as a filmmaker. The dark comedy short ‘The Appointment’ was my writing and directorial debut in 2015. My latest ‘baby’ is the horror comedy ‘Things We Dig’, which is now in film festivals!
