The Women of Horror Part 2

In this week’s episode we continue our dive into the wonderful world of women in horror.

Our first guest was the delightful Autumn Barefoot. She is a wife, hiker, and horror make-up and special effects artist. During our engaging chat we covered the changes the horror industry has undergone over the last 20 years and elaborated on how things like The Walking Dead have taken the make-up game to a whole new level. We also discussed how the continued perceptions of the horror genre tend to categorize those involved as, depressed or unhappy. Of course, we laid to rest those faulty notions with our cheery dispositions throughout this great chat.

The second guest we had the absolute pleasure of chatting with was Diandra Lazor. She is a self-proclaimed Nightmare on Elm Street expert, horror enthusiast, and fellow podcaster. Amidst our chat we discussed our varying passions for all things in the genre in general. We also discussed how she convinced everyone at her office job that she is a bad ass because of her unique costumes and affinity for the horror genre. We closed out our chat with her sharing a rather unnerving experience with demonic possession.

It was a blast sitting down with these two ladies and I hope everyone is gaining a new found respect for the women in the horror world!

About the Podcast

What the Niche
A Podcast to Discuss Every Niche
It seems as though everything currently is seeking to divide us. Whether it be the media, friends, family, or the world at large, everyone seems to want to point out just how different we are from one another. I find this to be the complete opposite of my experience. My group of friends is extremely eclectic and we all seem to get along. My goal is to demonstrate to others during this divisive time, we are all pretty damn similar. Most people want the same basic things out of life. I want a platform to demonstrate to people we are all more similar than any of us realize. Therefore, the idea is simple. Sit down and have genuine conversations with people from all walks of life.
