Chris Catt

A life-long obsession began when, growing up, Chris took regular trips through the horror aisles of video stores with his dad. Chris’s love for horror and other genre films from around the world led to him earning a degree in film studies at Temple University’s campus in Tokyo, Japan. His passion for writing and talking about horror also took the form of the personal blog and podcast The Last Theater before joining Creepy Catalog. Chris’s favorite horror film is John Carpenter’s Halloween, though he has seen Sam Raimi’s The Evil Dead more than any other movie ever.

Daniella Urdinlaiz

Daniella is the designer and visual brand strategist behind Creepy Catalog. Her fascination with horror started with her frequent trips to Planet Hollywood as a kid where she would sneak away to gaze at the contact lenses Linda Blair allegedly wore in The Exorcist. Inspired by the works of Tim Burton, she attended Pratt Institute to pursue a degree in traditional animation. Eventually, she landed in the world of graphic design, her skills now ranging from illustration and film editing to retouching and art direction. Some of her favorite horror movies and TV shows include The Shining, The Haunting of Hill House, Dead Alive, The People under the Stairs, Hellraiser, The Cell, Mandy, and The Ring.
