When most young girls wanted to be veterinarians or princesses, Emily wanted to be a vampire slayer and horror movie hostess. Although she continues to hunt vampires in her spare time, she has pursued her interest in horror films, receiving a B.A. in Cinema-Television from the University of Southern California, and working as both an actress and crew member on various horror movies and web series. Her recent film, 9 Ways to Hell  received numerous awards including Best Feature at Hollywood Blood Horror Festival and Sick Chick Flicks Film Festival.

Emily is also actively involved the horror and Halloween communities. In her career as an events coordinator she has worked with many conventions & film festivals in the Los Angeles area. Highlights include Screamfest Horror Film Festival, ScareLA, HauntX, Days of the Dead, and many more! Additionally, Emily is a contributor to the Haunted Attractions Network – writing articles and producing their weekly newsletters.

The Horror of Being Emily allows Emily to showcase resources, creative projects, small businesses, and more that support the horror & Halloween communities. Halloween is not a holiday you celebrate alone – a philosophy that is near and dear to Emily’s heart. She hopes to inspire others to join and contribute to these vibrant communities.

When not working in film or events, Emily spends her time expressing her spooky creativity via papercrafting, making bewitching baked goods, writing, and creating music.

Pleasant Nightmares!
