FANGORIA’s own Rebekah McKendry has been selected as a new host of the popular horror web show INSIDE HORROR. Joining hosts Elric Kane and Staci Lane Wilson, McKendry will be focusing on viewer questions and news as well as joining in the fun for all interviews and discussion. The first show of INSIDE HORROR’s new season will air April 24.

The show was the brainchild of producer Elric Kane, who created it several years back under the title THIS WEEK IN HORROR. Kane had noticed that there were many Internet-based entertainment news shows, but not one oriented toward the fear genre. He aimed to have the top horror icons and directors on each week, discussing not only news and their projects, but current horror topics as well. Layne was quickly brought in as a co-host due to her vast horror knowledge. Kane notes, “The best thing I did was initially cast Staci Layne Wilson as one of the hosts, and she quickly became a co-producer after we bonded over obscure giallo films.”

After a year of shows (28 episodes, all available on iTunes, with guests including Roger Corman, Jeffrey Combs, Joe Dante, Kane Hodder, Larry Cohen and Tom Six), the show was picked up by StreamTV and became INSIDE HORROR. With the first season of INSIDE HORROR completed, the group is continuing to add new elements and more interactivity with the fans. For the second season, they plan on including more horror news, DVD and film reviews, obscure recommendations, highlighting Kickstarter campaigns and in-depth interviews with actors and filmmakers from the genre. In addition to her full-time work at FANGORIA Entertainment, McKendry comes from an expansive genre background that includes multiple graduate degrees focused in horror and film.

The show will run live every Tuesday night beginning the 24th at 7 p.m. PST at www.thestream.tv, which streams through Youtube. Be sure to tune in, and for more info, click here.
