Meet the Writers: Dani McKinney

Hi, I’m Dani! I have been a writer at Pophorror for almost a year. Loving the journey! Below is a little bit more info on me.

What is your “real” job?

My real life job is in a call center. However, I am going to school to become a Young Adult librarian.

What is your favorite horror movie genre?

Supernatural. I love ghosts. My mom and I ghost hunt and bond over anything dealing with the supernatural. I love Paranormal Activity. Lately, I have been intrigued by The Conjuring franchise. Ed and Lorraine Warren were pretty big in the paranormal community.

What’s the view from your writing desk/your favorite place to write?

As you can see, I am a big nerd. I have a Ghostbuster print, Ghostbuster pin and a Ghostbuster eraser set in one corner. I have a cool print from Box of Dread of Jason. I have a figure of Batgirl from The Batman Adventures and also have a Black Panther figure from Captain America: Civil War. Chilling on the wall by the corner is my TIE fighter Hot Wheels. I have three tiny prints, two from Hedren’s Chest and one that I got at Sinister Creature Con. Lastly, I have a print of ravens representing Odin from Norse Mythology.

What do you like to do when you’re not writing for PopHorror?

I am probably reading or working or going to school. I tend to read more than I breath.

If electricity and equipment were not a problem, what five horror movies would you want with you if you were stranded on a desert island?

Dead Hooker in a Trunk, Friday the 13th Part III, Friday the 13th Part VI, All Cheerleaders Die and Interview with the Vampire.

Who has the best mask in horror?

Jason. Hands down. Who doesn’t love the doom and gloom of a hockey mask?

What’s your favorite horror film?

Interview with the Vampire. See my review here!

Who is your favorite horror author?

R.L Stine. I love the Fear Street series. I have a bunch of the trade paperbacks that I have collected through the years.
