\"\"<\/a>Nightmare Kristy in her own words:<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

To start, please introduce yourself:\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong>
\nI am Kristy Adams, aka Nightmare Kristy, co-owner of Nightmare Toys in Las Vegas.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

What is horror to you, what makes a work of art one in the horror genre?\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong>
\nHorror movies are an expression, feelings, and my comfort zone for entertainment.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

What made you want to work in horror?\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong>
\nMy love of horror movies and I\u2019m a serious collector.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Where do you get your inspiration?\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong>
\nAs a female, my inspiration has always come from Elvira.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>What would you like your legacy to be in the genre (or elsewhere)?\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong>
\nI would like to be known as the first female horror collectible store owner that helped change the collectible business.\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\u00a0<\/strong>
\nTo me, I hope to inspire other females to become business owners in a predominantly male business.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/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?
\n<\/strong>Elvira, Barbara Crampton, Danielle Harris\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

What are you currently working on that you can tell us about? <\/strong>
\nContinuing to build Nightmare Toys, my pinup modeling, and my Only Fans. You can find myself and Nightmare Toys on all social media.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
