About Us

Welcome to Dread Scared—your one-stop destination for everything horror!

We know that if you love horror movies, you probably also dive into horror books, celebrate spooky season year-round, follow true crime, and relish in all things macabre. That's why we created Dread Scared, a place where horror fans across all media can come together for the latest news, reviews, and deep dives into the dark side of entertainment.

The site is led by Renee Mallett, a seasoned author of both horror fiction and true-life hauntings, who’s been featured as an authority on ghosts in radio, TV, newspapers, and podcasts. With a background that includes owning the gaming and comic shop, Pop Cultured, Renee Mallett understands how the horror genre reaches into every corner of media—from films and books to games and true crime.

But it's not just one person behind the scenes at Dread Scared. We're a group of horror enthusiasts who live and breathe the genre. Whether it's the latest horror release, classic scares, or that weird indie film no one's talking about (yet), we've got it covered. Our content is fun and casual—like chatting with your friends—but with enough respect and research to be your trusted source.

At Dread Scared, we’re all about creating a space where horror fans can come together, share their passions, and stay up to date on everything that gives you chills. Whether you’re here for a good scare or some spooky laughs, you’re in the right place.
