Prepping to give my first college talk this week?? About rape-revenge movies?? Neat.

Smart, fearless, and obsessed with everything that lurks in the dark, @dreadcentral.bsky.social is a cornerstone of modern horror journalism. Today's the last day of their talented E-I-C Mary Beth McAndrew and we interviewed her about comics, horror and more!

It’s been an amazing four years running @dreadcentral.bsky.social. Thank you to everyone who has worked with me, been patient with me, talked with me, or somehow crossed my path. You’ve made this job everything and more. Not sure where I’m going yet but I won’t be leaving horror, if I can help it!

@mbmcandrews.bsky.social doing it right this Halloween. 🎃🍀

I will miss @mbmcandrews.bsky.social SO much as EIC of @dreadcentral.bsky.social. She’s published some of my best work over the last few years. She’s left a huge mark on making sure underrepresented voices are heard. Here’s to the future! 💜 www.dreadcentral.com/news/547360/...

While it's bittersweet to see the @mbmcandrews.bsky.social era of DC come to a close, I could not be more excited for her future contributions to horror and the world at large. Her tenure at DC is an all-timer run. Go forth, and destroy. A Farewell to Dread Central share.google/xGRh1T7ntMGa...
