Horror Addicts Episode #211 | 
I don’t think anything, in particular, inspired the pieces that appear in this book. I really enjoyed working with the themes that were given to us and I just took it from there. I love being a Horror Addict and being part of the family and community. That’s a huge inspiration for me. I’m grateful that I’m able to contribute and that is a strong motivator for me. Another strong motivator to keep writing is that if I don’t write my inner life spirals into turmoil which makes my outer life quickly follow suit. I can’t explain it but writing about awful, horrific things and people and events makes me feel happy, balanced, peaceful, and sane. Besides that, I totally love it and have since I was a child. Who knows why; maybe I was just born this way? Whatever the reason is, I’m thankful to be who I am.

I have always been interested in the lives of other people. Ever since I was a teenager, I’ve watched interviews on television to learn more about them. One of my favorite interview shows was

The need for more mainstream, diverse horror in all mediums is what inspires me to continue creating the most. I’d also like to see more BIPOC and LGBTQ horror with women at the helm either writing or directing or both. Over the years, I’ve learned that they’re out there, it’s just that sometimes I’d have to seek them out or “stumble” upon them. A few I’ve discovered from their films and follow are: Madhuri Shekar

It would have been difficult to NOT become a horror addict when I was growing up. I was born just after the beginning of the horror renaissance of the late 1950s, and by the time I was culturally aware, that renewal was in full swing. Monsters were everywhere by the mid-1960s, and with fewer entertainment options, their presence was much more concentrated and therefore ubiquitous than today. The entertainment choices we now enjoy that are spread across hundreds of local and cable television channels and as many more streaming services were in those days distilled down to, in most places, three or four networks – NBC, CBS, ABC and sometimes PBS – and maybe one or two independent UHF channels per market, if you were lucky. Everyone knew who Herman Munster was, or Barnabas Collins, or Morticia Addams, or Samantha Stevens. Everyone who had access to a television set had seen at least one episode of The Twilight Zone. Programming at the local and national levels was filled out with regular movie presentations – morning, afternoon, prime time, week day, weekend, late night. Old movies, recent theatrical releases, made-for-television-films – there was no other way to watch movies outside of theaters until the widespread availability of cable TV and home video in the late 1970s to mid-1980s. And many of the movies shown were the Universal horror pictures of the 1930s and 1940s, or the Godzilla films from Japan, or the “in unliving color” blood-and-bodice terrors from Hammer Films in England. Monsters were depicted on the covers of mainstream national magazines – Life, Look, Time, TV Guide. Toys, games, model kits, wallets, comic books, bubble-gum cards, lunchboxes, everything that appealed to children of the time had monsters plastered all over them. Magazines about movie monsters and paperback books full of pulp magazine reprints about – you guessed it – monsters crowded the newsstands in every drug store within walking distance of my home. America was glutting itself on monsters, and I wallowed in that cultural cesspool of delicious terrors.![20180209_121722_2[1]](https://horroraddicts.files.wordpress.com/2018/02/20180209_121722_21.jpg)
What inspired me to become a Horror Addict was at the tender age of 5 I was exposed to a movie called Maniac Cop by my mother. As horrified as I was of that movie (and the sequel), it unexpectedly had given me a love of horror, and given that I started writing stories at that age, it was only a matter of time before those two worlds would collide and I would become the person that I am today. What has encouraged me to keep creating is my never-ending love for storytelling. Aside from books, I observe peoples’ actions and energy and find ways to incorporate them into various stories. I love having a ‘what if’ mentality with different situations that have either happened in my life or other people’s lives and finding new macabre ways to put it onto paper. With the understanding that everybody has a story to tell; I find that inspiration is pretty much everywhere and it helps to make some fascinating stories. Another encouraging factor that has kept me creating is my family; I want to not just provide a great life but inspire my nieces and future children with the idea that taking a leap and chance on yourself is definitely hard, but can be worth it.
My article 
If you want to trace my love of horror back to the beginning, it would have to start with the Haunted Mansion at Disney World when I was four years old. That became my favorite place in the whole park, and then I came to realize that Halloween was the time of year when everybody sort of plays along. Naturally, that became my favorite holiday. It was my discovery of Lovecraft in high school, however, that kindled a desire to write horror stories of my own. I can still remember thinking of my very first short story idea while shoveling my grandmother’s driveway.
It’s difficult to keep creating horror content. Now and even before the very real-world scary pandemic. I move at my own old-fashioned speed back from ye olden 1980s where you couldn’t find scary content 24/7, 365. Do I have anything worthwhile to say about what films and television scare us? Are my kooky crafts and macabre trash to treasures subjective art that is only a sophisticated haunt to me? I’m inspired by what makes our fight or flight response and why or what makes us look at dark things in a new light. I see something not as what it is, but what it could be. For some people, that is a terrifying concept – especially when it comes to your own art and creation. I enjoy sharing my opinion about Frightening Flix because I like to know what other people think about complex horror. I’d like to think some of my little DIY Kbatz Krafts can inspire others to break out of their four walls and seek what glamour moves them. Is it all just gothic adjectives and poor-quality cardboard and cheap hot glue? Maybe. However, it’s like Bob Ross said, “We need darkness in order to show light.”
