2013-08-22 1

SPECIAL EDITION: Women of Horror Directors. Staci interviews both Danielle Harris (Director, Among Friends) and Jennifer Blanc-Biehn (Director, The Night Visitor) about women directors in the Horror genre. AMONG FRIENDS is a twisted horror about a dinner party gone wrong. Set against an 80s backdrop, good times take a dark turn when one in the group hijacks the evening in the name of Integrity. Through an attempt to help the others come clean about secret betrayals against one another, it’s revealed who's willing to cut through the bone to expose the truth. "Horror has always been what I’ve known best, so after 25 years I decided it was time to step behind the camera and take a stab at directing. Growing up in the 80’s I was inspired by the films of my youth, but unfortunately over the last decade I found that the genre films I was reading and watching were all lacking the same thing. FEARFUL FUN." - Danielle Harris THE NIGHT VISITOR is about a suburban couple who hire a new age spiritualist to help with their troubled marriage. Her advice to video their lives 24/7 to help reunite the family ends up revealing that their son is having conversations with an unseen entity, calling itself the Night Visitor. “I don't think there’s another story out there like this one, I'm super excited about bringing something, maybe a little bit different but in a style that people seem to like." - Jennifer Blanc-Biehn
