Author Details

Fascinated by the art of journalism, Taylor has been writing for over 10 years. Wherever there's horror, she isn't far behind. 

Industry Focus

Taylor currently works as a freelance writer for MovieWeb, but she has previously contributed to entertainment sites such as GamersDecide, WGTC, and The Nerd Stash.

Favorite Media

Taylor's favorite movie is The Birdcage, starring Robin Williams and Nathan Lane. Not only is it hilarious, but it's incredibly heartwarming and she's a sucker for a good comedy drama.

Her favorite TV show is Breaking Bad, but honestly, it changes constantly. It used to be Killing Eve before Season 4 aired (IYKYK).

In her spare time, Taylor likes to play horror video games like Dead By Daylight, Friday the 13th, and The Texas Chain Saw Massacre.
