Annie Minervini joined Horror News Network in 2011. Her focus on the website is reviewing horror in the media, particularly horror movies. She also enjoys interviewing actors and the crew who work on them and reveal the dedication and skill that goes into creating a film. Annie also attends conventions on the East Coast such as Dragon*Con in Atlanta, Rock and Shock in Massachusetts, and New York Comic Con in New York City to review the convention itself, as well as meet and interview the individuals who work in the genre.

Annie's passion in the genre is linking her formal education in the field of criminal justice and psychology to the horror genre. Whether it's from the victim's perspective, the hero's, or the antagonist's, she enjoys pondering the inner motivations and psyche of each character.

Larry Dwyer joined the site in 2012. His love of horror began with his parents; Larry's earliest memories include seeing Dawn of the Dead, Mother's Day and Blood Beach at the drive-in with them as a child. Larry's other love is music, mainly of the hardcore/punk genre. He has played guitar in such bands as Hatebreed, Death Threat and IG! (who also play an annual Misfits tribute show on Halloween).

Among Larry's favorite movies are Salem's Lot, Basket Case, Hellraiser, Phantasm, Halloween, Evil Dead and The Exorcist. His favorite authors include Stephen King, Clive Barker, Robert McCammon and H.P. Lovecraft. His favorite bands include The Misfits, Black Flag, Agnostic Front, The Dead Kennedy's and Judge.

Sean's fascination with all things horror began with his father's collection of under-appreciated horror flicks. His vast collection of VHS gems included Basket Case, Return of the Living Dead, Hollywood Chainsaw Hookers, Killer Klowns from Outer Space, and countless others. Over time, he began to develop an appreciation for the zombie genre in particular, and counts his encounter with director George Romero as one of his greatest thrills.

Sean's favorite films include Night of the Living Dead, Halloween, Evil Dead II, Dawn of the Dead, Shaun of the Dead, Pet Sematary, In the Mouth of Madness and White Zombie. He also believe a zombie apocalypse is inevitable, and is currently taking the necessary precautions.
