Indie horror actress and horror fan at heart, Ana Xaden accepts to play our game:<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

To start, please introduce yourself:
\n<\/strong>Hi! I\u2019m Ana Xaden.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

What is horror to you, what makes a work of art one in the horror genre?
\n<\/strong>Horror is something that delves into something unnerving. I love all type: ghosts, slashers, imaginative deaths, creatures, etc. I love the feeling of that mystery and tight armed feel from some of them. <\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

What made you want to work in horror?
\n<\/strong>I have loved horror since childhood. My fave movies as a child were the A Nightmare on Elm Street films. After that, I started branching into watching as much horror as I could handle. I always wanted to be in those films and after age 25 I finally got into acting and my first role ever was in Chainsaw Cheerleaders by Donald Farmer. After that I wanted to do more.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Where do you get your inspiration?
\n<\/strong>My inspiration comes from tons of movies and tv shows but most of it comes from things I have lived through. If I need to be in a specific mood, I just think of times in my life that I felt like the character is supposed to feel.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

What would you like your legacy to be in the genre (or elsewhere)?\u00a0 <\/strong>
\nI ultimately want to be known in person as kind, smart, and funny but on screen, as evil and psychotic as possible.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

What is Women in Horror Month to you and why is it still important this many years later?\u00a0 <\/strong>
\nI see it as celebrating women who rock in horror. It\u2019s always been guys running this industry and I love that females are rising up in the horror world.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Who are some of the Women in Horror who you look up to and who do you want to bring attention to in your field or others?\u00a0<\/strong>
\nThere are so many I love watching in the horror world. Some that I learned so much from recently was Angel Bradford, Jessa Flux, and Mel Heflin. They are awesome at their craft and so inspiring. Two I love to watch as well are Katharine Isabelle and Tiffany Shepis. They are inspiring to me.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

What are you currently working on that you can tell us about?<\/strong>
\nRight now I have 4 projects in the works: Darbie\u2019s Scream House, Empire Down, Friday the 13th: Jason in Indianapolis and Dan film, and Halloween the 31st. I\u2019m so excited to be involved in these.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

And if you look up the name Ana Xaden I am found everywhere except twitter. I am @anaxaden on instagram, Ana Xaden on Facebook\/tiktok\/youtube. And you can check my IMDb for projects I\u2019ve been in.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Thank you for taking the time to do this, we greatly appreciate it.
\n<\/strong>You\u2019re very welcome! And thank you for an awesome interview! Keep rockin\u2019!!<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
