Women in Horror Month creator Hannah Nuerotica and Fgt editor Heidi get down and dirty about the new GoreZone Women in Horror Month Tribute Video in a no-holds-barred bikini-wrestling match of emotions.
Hannah: On January 8, 2011 Uk MagazineGoreZonelaunched a video called “Women in Horror” (in honor of February being Women in Horror Month). Despite my legitimate skepticism regarding how a magazine indistinguishable from Maxim on the rack would portray a movement rooted in the feminist ideal of equality, yet I remained open-minded. Maybe we would all be surprised and elated to see some true progress taking place.
Heidi: If you’re an artist, a filmmaker, a director, an editor, an actress who doesn’t happen to look like a model, or basically any woman who doesn’t cater to the sexuality of male horror fans, you may find yourself having a harder time getting your projects seen and heard, or getting jobs doing what you love.

That's pretty awesome. Pretty/Scary editor Heidi Martinuzzi (me) gets mentioned in this ChicagoNow list of the top 13 influential women in horror history along with contemporaries Jovanka Vuckovic (journalist), Denise Gossett (film festival director), Devi Snively (filmmaker), and Debbie Rochon (actress) and icons Kathryn Bigelow (director), Debra Hill (producer), Anne Rice, Ida Lupino (actress/director), Karen Walton (screenwriter), Maila Nurmi (Vampyra), Stephenie Meyer, and Mary Shelley (author of Frankenstein.)
I'd have loved to see Cassandra Peterson, Brinke Stevens, or Mary Lambert up there instead of myself and Stephenie Meyer. But let's just pretend we didn't say that!
