Women in Horror Month is a new thing born of the feministy-horrory mind of Hannah Neurotica (AxWoundZine) to bring recognition to women's contributions to horror. How could we NOT be on board?
"Why can’t we be recognized as 'Scream Queens' who scream out with our artistic and creative abilities; qualities other then how we look?" - Hannah Neurotica
The website includes the amazing manifesto and a list of things YOU can do this February 2010 to help bring awareness to women's contributions to the horror industry. Pretty/Scary will be hosting a series of film screenings in Los Angeles (more on that to come). Let Hannah know what you think and how you plan to get involved.

Excellent work, ladies!! A month recognizing women in horror is a brilliant and much overdue idea. We twisted twins will do everything in our power to support and promote this worthy cause!!
