The 2 1/2 days I spent in downtown Marietta covering the 2020 Women in Horror Film Festival was some of the best times I’ve spent in the midst of genre fans and filmmakers ever, and that includes DragonCon. The atmosphere, the interactions, the creativity were all electric, and helped sustain me when theatres shut down shortly after that, and the COVID pandemic began. I knew I would have to make […]
