Queen of Darkness 1: Ghostella a.k.a. Heidi Martinuzzi

I first noticed Ghostella when she was the pale and frightening host of “Ghostella’s Haunted Tomb of… Horror and… Terrible things” or whatever it was that episode. I didn’t care. I was just waiting for her to turn the creepy music on. MMMmmmmm. With enough makeup, Ghostella can pass for a living person, under which guise she pretends to be Heidi Martinuzzi, founder and editor of Pretty Scary dot Net, a blog “For Women in Horror, by Women in Horror”. Our favorite episode of Ghostella’s Tomb was Noir D’Ivoire.

Little did this prepare us for her truly terrifying 2009 role in a movie by Stacy Ponder, (a.k.a. Final Girl) titled “Deadly Dress 4: Never A Bride“. Her role as a crazy lady in a pink dress who menaces the bride and then later meets an untimely death at the hands (or should we say hem) of a haunted wedding dress really made us sit up and pay attention. Wow. Like Nabokov writing Lolita in his third language, Ghostella is able to play a normal person playing a modern day witch in a pink dress with a horrible blond wig and kill it! If I was Paula Abdul, I’d be dancing.

Finally, Ghostella has an animal hat. This will make sense later, trust me.

The flying monkeys let our technician out for a minute and he snuck away into the light of day. Thanks for your patience during this difficult transition.
