Danielle Harris and Scout Taylor-Compton
Danielle Harris is an award-winning actor, director, and producer whose love affair with horror has taken her from childhood scream queen to filmmaker and genre trailblazer. After four decades of unforgettable roles across film and television, she stepped behind the camera with her feature directorial debut
“Among Friends”-a wickedly stylish 80’s slasher that hit the Melies Festivals from Spain to Sweden!
In 2024, Harris was honored with the Lifetime Achievement Award in Acting from the New York City Horror Film Festival, celebrating her lasting impact on the genre she’s helped define. Now, she’s coming full circle— premiering her latest project, “Last Chance Motel”, in her hometown of New York City!
Scout Taylor-Compton is an actress, director, and writer known for her bold performances and distinct storytelling voice. She broke out as Laurie Strode in Rob Zombie’s Halloween films and has since built a dynamic career across film, television, and voiceover — most recently voicing Lady in Netflix’s Devil May Cry, with Season 2 premiering next year.
Scout made her directorial debut with Bringing the Law, starring Mickey Rourke and Peter Facinelli, followed by the gritty horror feature Last Chance Motel she co-directed. She just wrapped a suspense thriller TV series and is gearing up to direct Road to Recovery, a heartfelt road trip drama she wrote, starring Ryan Kiera Armstrong. The film will launch her production company, Building Blocks Productions.
Her semi-autobiographical series The Diaries of the Mortician’s Daughter is currently in development, and several of her original screenplays are in motion to be greenlit. Whether in front of the camera or behind it, Scout brings authenticity, genre edge, and emotional depth to everything she creates.
So thrilled and grateful — can’t wait to see you soon!
