Slasher Top Tens: Becca Panico
ABOUT THE AUTHOR: Becca is the B in B&S About Movies and the love of my life. How many women do you think will put up with endless discussions of obscure 1970’s giallo and the emotional mood swings of a writer? Plus, she also has tattoos of the Anti-God from Prince of Darkness and Dr. Phibes! […]
