In the final entry of our interviews in honor of Women in Horror Month, we had the opportunity to chat with South African actress Reine Swart! Reine writes, directs, and produces films within the horror genre, and talked with us about the importance of this month, how differently horror is perceived in South Africa, and more!
I want to talk about Women in Horror Month, but first, can you tell us a little about yourself?

Went from Portland, Oregon to Los Angeles and it feels like completely different countries in each state. So, that’s been really exciting. I’ve been in the film industry for the past ten years. I’ve mainly worked as an actor and then I started working behind the scenes doing storyboards.

It’s not like Texas needs more horror right at this moment, what with all the wintry catastrophizing and the Ted Cruzing going on. However, I like to dive into horror when I’m scared and depressed, so now seems as good a time as any to highlight Texas female authors for Women in Horror Month as February comes to an end. Download them onto your Kindle and read them when the lights go out. That’s what I did.
