Meet the Ghouls

With a variety of diverse backgrounds, interests, and knowledge to bring to the table, The Ghouls who run this podcast know what it means to bring value to your perpetually short and graciously lent time.

And we’re cute, but you already knew that.

The Coruscant Creative Blair The Lord of the Rings Trilogy, Moulin Rouge!, Strictly Ballroom, Edward Scissorhands Leo Enneagram: Four, Myers-Briggs: INFJ cleverghoul.blair Nothing prepares you for real life quite like being called a witch at the tender age of 10 thanks to the runaway shaky cam hit about some dipshits running around in the woods. Blair (she/her) would like to thank the Academy for snubbing The Blair Witch Project and letting it die so she could muddle her way through the next four years of real horror in peace (high school was the woooooooorst).

The Spellbinding Psychologist Maegan Alien(s). Star Wars, Jennifer’s Body, American Psycho, Labyrinth, Top Gun (yes, seriously) Scorpio Enneagram: Four, very closely tied with Three cleverghouls.maegan Maegan (she/her) is a 30 something year old lover of all things strange and unusual (as she herself is…strange and unusual). By day she works as a data scientist who specializes in analyzing behavioral data, artificial intelligence, and machine learning; and by night she talks about movies with her favorite ghoulfriends.

The Cosmetic Queen Marissa Fifth Element, Howls Moving Castle, From Dusk Till Dawn Cancer Enneagram: Two cleverghouls.marissa After watching Gothika at the age of 12 and being mentally and emotionally SHOOK, Marissa (she/her) never thought she could genuinely enjoy anything spooky again. Ain't life funny! Now the only thing that scares her is the fact that you aren’t wearing any spf. Seriously… put that shit on your face and thank her in 20 years.

The Enthusiastic Entomologist Melissa Lord of the Rings Trilogy, The Nightmare Before Christmas, The Mummy(1999) Sagittarius Enneagram: Six cleverghouls.melissa Melissa (she/her) has been a sci-fi, fantasy, mythology nerd and all around spooky gal for the majority of her life. Her primary fandom (and first true love) was Lord of the Rings, followed closely by Firefly and Doctor Who. She has spent most of her career working with the public in Higher Education roles. Once that nearly depleted any hope she had for the human race, she transitioned into software development where she currently specializes in helping teams succeed.
