Luba Hansen – What it’s like being a woman in horror films
I started acting after college and many of my IMDB credits are horror films. I met director, Brad Twigg, who introduced me to his horror films. My first project with Brad was Sleepless Nights (segment House of Profane). This was when I truly realized how much I appreciated what goes into creating a horror film. Brad and I continue working together to this day.
Being a woman in horror films is exciting! Working on multiple horror films, I realized how important women are in these films. My characters are usually the strong, willed fighter who doesn’t give up so easily. The audience watching horror films might think the female characters are the scared and weak but actually it’s the opposite. Women kick ass in the majority of horror films. Being a woman in horror films is a messy, fun job with lots of blood and gore and this will continue to entice the audience to the end of time.
