Don’s World of Horror & Exploitation Interview with Emily Louise Rua

Don’s World of Horror & Exploitation Interview with Emily Louise Rua

In February we celebrated Women in Horror Month. Blogger Don Anelli reached out to dozens of female filmmakers to interview for his blog – including The Horror of Being Emily’s very own, Emily Louise Rua! Don’s World of Horror & Exploitation is a blog that features news and interviews relating to horror & exploitation films. It was an honor to be featured! Women In Horror Month Interview. In this interview I discuss how my love for horror began and many of my current horror & Halloween endeavors.

Here is an excerpt from the article:

An upcoming filmmaker and novelist, Emily Louise Rua is making a mark on the industry as she manages to work between the various fields of writing, directing or being involved in various genre-related projects. Now, in honor of Women in Horror Month, I talk with her about getting into the industry, the filming of 9 Ways to Hell and her other projects.
 
Don: Hello and thank you for taking the time to do this. First off, when did you get into horror in general?
 
Emily Louise Rua: I can’t remember a time when I didn’t love horror! My life has revolved around horror and Halloween from the start. My dad enjoyed the old Universal monster movies and he passed on that love to me pretty early on. I learned to read from Alvin Schwartz folklore books (initially Ghosts! and In a Dark, Dark Room and Other Scary Stories and eventually the Scary Stories trilogy) then by third grade I was onto Stephen King. My poor teachers had to endure me injecting horror into every single school project (from English papers to science projects to essays on Amish economies), and I spent my free time writing horror stories, making short films, and doing Halloween craft projects.
