Interview with S. L. Yarbrough by David Kempf

When did you first become interested in writing? I started reading at a very early age and loved scary stories. I was the storyteller for all of the kids, verbally telling the stories I made up. So I decided to write my own ghost story at 6. How did you get involved in writing about famous movie serial killers? While in undergrad psychology class, we had to write up a psychological assessment of a fictional character. My assessment was Dean Winchester from Supernatural. I loved doing it. Years later while in graduate school, I was having a conversation with my son, we talked about how Jason was actually a victim. My son suggested I write a book about my views on Horror villains. I chose Psychology as a major because I have always had a fascination with how our brain works and how some people become deviant while others refrain from criminal activities. While revisiting these beloved Horror icons, I found out much more about them. When I look at these characters, I look at the whole pi...

Interview with Andrés Montañez by David Kempf

When did you first become interested in writing? As a kid I always wanted to make movies. It’s a phenomenal medium in which you can play with images, sound, music, editing. Evoke eerie feelings just by blasting light into a silver screen. Many years later I even went to film school and made a bunch of cool short films. However, writing is cheaper to do. Joke aside. I’ve always been intrigued by stories, especially making them. On elementary school I loved those assignments that were about writing stuff. To create a story. So, besides the spoken word, writing became my very first elaborate tool into storytelling. Just some piece of paper, a pencil and I was ready to go. Then, I’ve got a computer. Using a word processor was amazing. I could write several stories with ease, move paragraphs around, try new stuff, write and rewrite indiscriminately. It was magical. Still is. Later, when I went to film school and got the chance to write screenplays, I was rediscovering writing. It was differ...
