Samantha McLaren

International horror aficionado and champion of Scottish scares

Contributor at FANGORIA, since 2021

Raised in Scotland, Sam McLaren is a horror movie journalist, artist, and drag king based in NYC.
Her bylines have appeared in the pages of FANGORIA, Scream the Horror Magazine, and SciFiNow, as well as on websites like Bloody Disgusting and Paste Magazine, with her writing often focusing on uplifting queer and women-centric horror, and on bringing international horror to American audiences. She also contributed a chapter to the book 'Hannibal for Dinner: Essays on America’s Favorite Cannibal on Television.'

Forever homesick, Sam is always ready to recommend an obscure, sometimes questionable title from her beloved homeland—if she's not talking your ear off about the TV show 'Hannibal,' that is. When she's not hunched over her computer, she can be found (usually dripping in blood) performing around NYC under her stage name, Angus Beef.
