By Summer Aborashid There was no way we could celebrate 28 Days of Diabolical Dames without including the star of what I consider to be the scariest movie ever.

Diabolical Dames: Diablo Cody
By Rachel Shatto If you listen to the Zombie Grrlz podcast regularly then you knew this one was coming! With only one horror title under her belt, it may seem to some like I am jumping the gun by including her in our list of women who have contributed to horror–but I disagree (obviously). I…

He called to let us know something that left us gobsmacked and with our ego’s mercilessly stroked. I could tell you but that’s just boring, so instead take a listen to the audio below…
