Cryptozoology”, which received the Pulitzer Prize for Nonfiction.
No, she didn’t. That’s a lie. That’s the book she would have written had she written one at the time.
She has written for numerous online and print entertainment magazines like Film Threat, CFQ, Femme Fatales, Zink, Bloody-Disgusting.com, Dark Side, ShockTillYouDrop.com, Hustler, Fangoria, and About.com. Her work has also appeared in The Wittenburg Door, Afterellen.com and Movies By Women.
She is the co-creator and editor-in-chief of Pretty/Scary (the web community devoted to the study of women in horror) and she is currently writing a book on female horror film directors. She produced, wrote, and directed the short film Wretched and is currently directing and producing a documentary about women who are married to men who make horror films for a living (tentatively titled Brides of Horror.)
She has appeared on televison on E! and G4 as a horror and film specialist. She is on the nomination committee for the Spike TV SCREAM AWARDS.
Heidi enjoys web design, content management systems, unicorns, free licence software, horror movies, fantasy novels, socialism, and kitties and puppies.
