From killer ghost clowns to haunted houses and creeping psychological terror, Lovings discusses the films and themes that shaped her passion for horror!<\/em><\/p>\n

Chicago \u2014 Award-winning adult film star Leana Lovings displays her vast knowledge and deep appreciation of the horror genre in an exclusive interview for Dr. Gore\u2019s Movie Reviews.<\/p>\n

Gore, a self-described \u201cserious B-movie fan with a leaning toward the sordid and the sleazy,\u201d launched in 2005 one of genre-film fandom\u2019s most popular \u2014 and entertaining \u2014 horror & exploitation movie review sites, a place where many indie filmmakers found the very first review of their work and participated in the thriving comments section.<\/p>\n

But Gore left a void when he began drifting away from the once-mighty site a decade ago.<\/p>\n

\u201cI had let Dr Gore\u2019s Movie Reviews go idle because I was over-thinking what content to write about and lost sight of having fun with it,\u201d the reviewer admitted. \u201cThe internet doesn’t need another review of Spider-Man 3 and even if it did, Dr. Gore doesn’t need to do it. It’s the smaller horror and exploitation movies that need to find an audience. That\u2019s where Dr. Gore can have the most impact, and be meaningful both to the readers and myself.\u201d<\/p>\n

Leana Lovings was already an immensely popular webcam performer with over 200,000 followers on Chaturbate before taking the plunge into the World of X in September 2021. Her loving fan base made the journey with her and, in that short interval, the all-natural, 5-foot brunette beauty has reached the top 0.3% on OnlyFans, the 30 Most Popular Porn Stars on\u00a0Adult Empire<\/a>, the 15 Top Selling Porn Stars on\u00a0AEBN<\/a>, number 1 on\u00a0FreeOnes<\/a>, and ascended to the top 20 adult stars on Pornhub, with over 240 million views and 191K subscribers on that platform alone.\u00a0 She also won a 2023 AVN Award, and was crowned\u00a0Adult Empire\u2019s 2022 Pornstar of the Year and Best New Adult Star in the Alternative Media Awards.<\/p>\n

Gore met Lovings at July\u2019s Vice is Nice animal rescue charity event in Los Angeles, and credits the young beauty with helping revive his passion for sharing the good word about genre cinema.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs a veteran movie reviewer, it was refreshing to meet Leana, whose genuine love of all things horror inspired me to reinvigorate the blog. I needed a kick-start, and her vast horror knowledge reminded me that there is a whole audience out there seeking thrills in horror and exploitation that I need to reconnect with.\u201d<\/p>\n

Published on September 7, \u201cLeana Lovings Loves Horror\u201d has already become the most popular post on the site.<\/p>\n

\u201cLeana obviously put a lot of thought into her answers, and I appreciate it,\u201d Gore added. \u201cClearly, other horror fans do too.\u201d<\/p>\n

In her interview, Lovings cites her seminal, passion-shaping encounters with genre films:<\/p>\n

\u201cAs a child you might not consciously understand why your parents don\u2019t want you to be awake while they watch a horror movie and your curiosity leads you to take a peek at what they\u2019re viewing. I stood in my hallway, peeking over the corner to see Maximum Overdrive (1986); there is nothing more intensely gripping than watching a killer ghost clown possess a semi-truck for their gory murder spree. My second defining movie was when I was old enough to appreciate my mom\u2019s VHS version of Tales From the Crypt.\u201d<\/p>\n

Counted among Lovings\u2019 favorites are The Changeling (1980) (\u201chaunted homes are so personal, because it invades the space you\u2019re supposed to feel safe in. I love the complex feeling that kind of horror stirs, because there is truly nowhere to run); Cronenbergian body horror (\u201cVideodrome terrified me and plagued my mind for months after watching\u201d); \u201cgory movies\u201d such as 30 Days of Night (2007), Terrifier 2 (2022), Jeepers Creepers (2001): the suspenseful A Dark Song (2016); and 2013\u2019s The Conjuring.<\/p>\n

\u201cA lot of the horror movies in the years preceding [The Conjuring] had felt so modern that they lost the \u2018feel\u2019 of what I wanted: a good old classic possession story,\u201d Lovings reveals. \u201cThe Conjuring reveled in the 1970\u2019s aesthetic, and the presence of Ed and Lorraine Warren blurred what felt \u2018real\u2019 or fake. You wanted to think some of it actually happened.\u201d<\/p>\n

Confronted with producer Sean S. Cunningham\u2019s famous assessment that the enduring appeal of horror lies in the fear of \u201cpremature death,\u201d Leana counters, \u201cI think that there is another appeal to horror movies. My favorite appeal is the perseverance at the end through inhuman, almost impossible odds. The enduring appeal is being able to go in movie after movie and see the ending fates. For me, premature death is an aspect, but the people that survive will linger. My mind always sticks on what their life will be like after living through a horror movie. How long until they no longer sleep with the lights on?\u201c<\/p>\n

Lovings\u2019 own \u201cpersonal dream\u201d to be part of a horror-style movie came true earlier this year, in director Ricky Greenwood\u2019s\u00a0Infection 2<\/i><\/a>\u00a0(\u00a0parasited.com\/infection-2\/<\/a>\u00a0), a X-rated\u00a0cinematic ode to cult horror\/sci-fi classics such as\u00a0Night of the Creeps<\/i>\u00a0and\u00a0The Hidden<\/i>.<\/div>\n
