Dan Doherty grew up in Miramichi, New Brunswick. From the limited selection of VHS movies from a small corner store, Dan’s fascination with Horror was born. It was a test of bravery or a test of the limits of what he could stomach.

Other previous businesses were, IT Contracting and Consulting (10 years), Computer Repair Shop (5 years),& Comics and Collectibles Store (5 years).

Lee Brown
Lee grew up in Cornwall, Ontario. His love of horror began at an early age with a VHS copy of “The Evil Dead”, and to this day “The Evil Dead Trilogy” remains one of his favourites.

Since moving to Calgary in 2005 he has acquired an impressive collection of horror movies, and has been an extra in a number of movies, most recently as a zombie in a local production. Whether in one of his homemade costumes, or doing stand-up at Yuk Yuk’s open mic night, Lee enjoys bringing a smile to everyone’s face. If you see him, feel free to come up and say hi.

Katrina Kryzalka
Katrina Kryzalka grew up in the small town of Whitecourt, Alberta. In the long run it was a good thing because it made a good movie night an adventure. Scouring the five dollar movie bin led to the Nightmare on Elm Street franchise getting discovered and her romance with 80’s horror bloomed.

In 2012 she moved to Calgary to get her broadcasting diploma. Over the years she’s expanded her horizons in the horror genre and is always looking for the next project to get her hands bloody in, whether it be helping as an extra or with makeup. In her spare time she hits up every rock and roll show possible and is always searching for the next gem to add to the movie collection.
