After the travesty that was the 1998 Roland Emmerich reboot of “Godzilla,” the king of the monsters went in to hiding from the states for a long time. It was until Legendary came along to hop on the expanded universe band wagon to finally give Gojira and his merry band of monsters and allies a chance to win a new generation of fans. Despite some bumps and tumbles, Gareth Edwards’ “Godzilla” is a giant step up from the 1998 embarrassment and still manages to travel well, with or without the impending “Godzilla vs. Kong.”
Interview with Actress Kerry Wieder [Women in Horror Month 2021]
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.
Adverse (2021)
Director-Writer Brian Metcalf brings with him a strong crime drama that he hands over to a wonderfully seasoned cast of character actors. While a movie like “Adverse” could have stumbled right out of the gate, it manages to only improve by the time the movie has closed and ends as a sharp crime thriller. It’s a bold mix of “Taxi Driver,” and “Drive,” with a nigh unrecognizable Thomas Ian Nicholas staring.
Shoplifters of the World (2021)
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.

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!
