It’s not very often we get to work on something we love with people we like. Or is it? It actually appears to be the daily modus operandi here at Dread Central. That’s why I’m very happy to say that, for the latest Dread on Dread, I got to sit down with my good friend Tyler Doupé and have a good chat. We go over how he left his job in retail to become a full-time writer, some of his favorite movies and performances of the 2010s, and his thoughts on where the industry (and the world) currently stand on diversity and representation.

In addition to serving as a staff writer for Dread Central, Tyler Doupe’ also works as the managing editor at Wicked Horror. Additional bylines include: Fangoria Mag, Rue Morgue Mag, Scream: The Horror Mag, FEARnet, Fandango, ConTV, Ranker, Shock Till You Drop, ChillerTV, SyFy Wire, ComingSoon.Net, and more. He lives in Portland with his husband and their four pets.
Without further ado, here’s the full interview!

“I would also like to shout out to Zena Dixon for inspiring me to start blogging. I happened upon her site, Real Queen of Horror, more than ten years ago and we have been friends ever since. She is a constant source of inspiration to me. And she is undeniably magical. “
“Two more films come to mind that I wasn’t able to think of on the spot are The Lodge and The Invitation. Both left me pretty wrecked (in a good way) after I saw them. Each film really succeeded at making me feel something. So, if you’re in the mood to get destroyed, consider checking out either of those!”
