Ellen Freeman
Ellen Freeman was scared-to-death by Kubrick’s The Shining at the age of 10. Ever since, she has challenged herself with thrilling film and literature in an attempt to wipe away the horrors of Jack Torrance’s mental breakdown, while also pursuing an identical fright. She is an MA student at Concordia University where she continues to educate herself on the psychological and sociological functions of horror audiences like herself. Currently, Freeman’s research focuses on horror-fan receptions of cult, shock and exploitation cinema.
