About Luna Guthrie
Luna Guthrie is a writer, film geek and horror fan with a love of anything 1970s, especially in film - the grainier, the better!
She has been writing about film for over a decade, specializing in horror, exploitation, adult cinema and old indie gems. As a writer and critic, she has been published by EDP24, NXGZine, UK Horror Scene and on her personal blogs, Mise en Scène and Rad Retro Repulsive. One of her reviews even made it to a DVD cover! She is very excited for her upcoming horror print debut in Monstrous Flesh. When not watching movies or reading and writing about them, Luna loves making clothes from vintage patterns, going to the theater, reading the memoirs of interesting people and making custom hammocks and toys for her three pet rats. She would have been a hanger-on of the LA glam rock scene, but since she was born forty years too late, she settled for writing.
