Introduction

Hello! My name is Megan Hoard although my nickname is Bailey (it's a very complex story). I'm a third year Exploratory student at UC and I want to get into the EMED program. I decided to take this class because I really enjoy films and film classes and I like to open up to films I wouldn't normally watch. I'm a huge horror fanatic and a self-taught special effects makeup artist. I spent the last three Octobers working in a charity haunted house acting and turning people into monsters, but sadly had to leave after money became an issue and I've been a freelance makeup artist since. Last October I worked with some professional makeup artists in Indianapolis for the Zombie Run.

I spend too much time watching films on Netflix. My favorite directors are Stanley Kubrick, Alfred Hitchcock, and Guillermo Del Toro. This makes it easy for me to pick my favorite movies. The top three are The Shining, Alfred Hitchcock's Psycho, and Pan's Labyrinth. As you can guess, horror is my favorite genre of film. It is the majority of films I will watch in my free time, but because of some film classes I have learned that I shouldn't judge a film by the genre or even the title. Films have become quite a large passion of mine. I have made some short films that I never thought were very good, but I continue to try and create in my spare time.
