2024 was another great year for work and travel. I filmed eight new movies, including two true-crime dramas by Chad Ferrin, "Kemper" (about 1980s serial killer Ed Kemper) and "Dorothea" (another mass murderer). I appeared in the remake of "House on Haunted Hill" and "Return to the Dark House of Mystery" by director Dustin Ferguson -- and reprised my role in Jason Paul Collum's "Safe Inside 2"". I starred in a mind-blowing feature called "Mary Day and the Scream Queens", written and directed by Jennifer Moriarty, which will make the festival rounds in late-2025. I was a guest at eight conventions and film festivals, too At Joe Bob's Jamboree in Las Vegas NV, scream queens Linnea Quigley, Michelle Bauer and I were honored with Lifetime Achievement Awards. So far this year, I"ve already shot "Lifeforms" in CA and will soon head to Dallas TX for Abel Berry's "Birthday Bash". Lots of new shows have already been booked, as well. Hope to see you in-person at some of them!
Love, 2023 was a tough year for film production, due to the longest actors' strike in Hollywood history (118 days). Nonetheless, I was able to shoot four movies: "Grandma" by Bobby Canipe, "Side Effects May Vary" by JR Bookwalter, an amazing remake of "Spider Baby" by Dustin Ferguson, and "A Blood Moon Rising" by Justin Smith. In the latter, I played an 1860's Western frontier doctor who has to deal with werewolves such fun! I also acted in a wonderful short film called "The Night Jane Went Insane" by Zach Lorkiewicz. You can watch it for free here. I did a lot of traveling in 2023, appearing as a guest at 10 conventions and film festivals. Kansas City's Etheria Festival honored me with a prestigious "Inspirational Female Filmmaker" award, presented to me in person by Joe Bob Briggs. I was also honored at a Chicago film festival that screened "Slumber Party Massacre" and I gave a long talk afterwards. The "Valley Relics Museum" in Los Angeles installed a big new display case with props from "Spider Baby" (2023), woohoo! In late 2024, look for a new book titled "Video Memories" by Stephen Jones, in which I contributed a few pages about the 1980's VHS revolution. Love, Greetings! I'm happy to report that 2022 was a very productive year for me. I acted in ten movies, including "Smart House", "Closet Monster", "Don't Trick or Treat Alone", "Hellfire", "How to Murder Your Co-workers", "Liza", "Beneath the Gates of Hell", "Nightmare Collection 2", and "Hands of Destiny". I also directed my first feature film, "Sorority Babes in the Slimeball Bowl-a-Rama 2", a long-awaited sequel to the 1988 original. I had a fun cameo in it, along with Michelle Bauer. Now streaming at FullMoonFeatures.com. It'll be released on DVD and Blu-ray in April 2023. The reviews and fan response have all been very enthusiastic and positive. The highly anticipated "Terror Toons 4: Personal Demons" has been making the film festival circuit and garnering many awards. It will soon be available on DVD. The new documentary "Dave Stevens: Drawn to Perfection" is now available on multiple streaming platforms. The many interviews from "Comic-Con Begins" podcast have been collected into a recently published book called "See You at San Diego" by Matthew Klickstein. Wishing you all a wonderful new year ahead! Love, 2021 has been a very busy year so far, with six movies finished and four more yet to shoot. My new films include "Mark of the Devil 777", "Arachnado 2", "Ebola Rex vs. the Murder Hornets", "Infernum Obscura", "Syfy Shark", and "Terror Toons 4" (an anthology collection that will feature my own "Personal Demons" film as well). I also participated in several Blu-ray special edition releases of past classics such as "Haunting Fear", "Shock Cinema", and "Bryan Loves You". I was interviewed for two new documentaries, one about my late-husband artist Dave Stevens. The other is all about Dukey Flyswatter & Haunted Garage, a horror-punk actor and his band who appeared in many 1980s B-movies and also provided music for several soundtracks. As of this writing, you can still listen for free to my latest audio narration of "Comic-Con Begins", a 6-hr oral history of the San Diego Comic-Con for SiriusXM radio. Here's the link: Comic-Con-BeginsSending you all my best wishes! Love, Back in January, I thought "Oh gosh, this is going to be my best year EVER!" I was slated to direct three feature films, act in ten movies, and be a guest at six conventions. Then 2020 abruptly morphed into that huge crazy challenge for the whole world. I hope you are all safe and well as this difficult year winds to an end. Despite the Covid menace, I carefully shot EIGHT films this year… and stayed healthy! My new movies include: "Killer Keg", "Beast Beneath", "Stryx", "Slumber Party Slaughter Party 2", "Butcher's Bluff", "Arachnado", "Parole", and "Rattlers 2". I attended one fun horror show in February, "Cult Classics Con". I've also been able to work from home, doing tons of Zoom interviews and radio plays like "No Sleep Tonight" and "Season 13". I was interviewed for a new documentary about 'cult cinema' — and I appear in "Skin: A History of Nudity in the Movies" as well as "The Emmanuelle Effect". I'll be the narrator of "Comic-Con Begins", a 6-hour Sirius podcast that's an oral history of San Diego Comic-Con, coming in Spring 2021. Sending you all my best wishes for happy holidays!

My newest audio book, "The Spawn of Lilith", was written by Dana Fredsti, the "#1 Best Selling horror author on Kindle". Set in Hollywood, it's a wickedly funny mix of filmmaking and the supernatural. Now available on Audible. I wrote a script called "Tears of a Clown" for Grant Waldman (who directed my "Teenage Exorcist" screenplay in 1991). We'll shoot this film sometime in 2020 in Cocoa Beach FL, and I'll be a co-director! I'm also slated to co-direct a remake of "Sorority Babes in the Slimeball Bowl-A-Rama" in early 2020.
