To call Danielle Harris a scream queen is an understatement. She’s been screaming on screen since she was in grammar school, and has turned the art of running for her life on celluloid into an awesome career. Her social media handle is appropriately Halloweengal since she has appeared in four different Halloween films: 4 and 5 from the first run, and both of the ore recent Halloween films directed by Rob Zombie.
You might also remember her from The Last Boyscout, Don’t Tell Mom the Babysitter’s Dead, Roseanne, Daylight, Urban Legend and more recently Hatchet 2, The Victim, and Stake Land.
She’s also recently taken her lifetime of experience in the horror genre and used it to fuel her directorial debut, Among Friends, about a murder mystery dinner party gone horribly wrong. A quick perusal of IMDB shows you just how busy she keeps herself. Coming up, Danielle is in Ghost of Goodnight Lane, Fatal Call, Hallows Eve, Nuclear Family, and Dead.tv. She is also back in Hatchet 3, coming out in spring of 2013.
I first met her shooting her for IGN Babeology. In addition to being an excellent actress, she proved to be a natural model as well.

- Favorite Books: These are some of my recent favorites: “I Know This Much is True” and “She’s Come Undone,” both by Wally Lamb. Once I read an author I like, then I usually only read their novels until I’ve finished their collection. I just finished “The Art of Racing in the Rain” and Penny Marshall’s memoir “My Mother was Nuts,” which I loved! Moving into the directing shoes, it was extremely encouraging to read her journey and also amazing to go back and hear her stories about hanging out with some of the greatest comedians that ever lived.

Anything from Indigo Girls, Carly Simon, Joni Mitchell, The Carpenters, Air Supply, Heart, Lionel Richie, Chicago, Fleetwood Mac, Christopher Cross… I better stop now. I’m sounding like that Time Life infomercial with people holding hands walking on the beach at sunset. Yes, I did buy that collection;)
