Biography
Kier-La Janisse is a Canadian screenwriter, director, and producer born January 1, 1972. Her breakthrough as a writer came with House of Psychotic Women: An Autobiographical Topography of Female Neurosis in Horror and Exploitation Films (FAB Press, 2012), a genre-defining work that fused personal narrative with film criticism. Video Watchdog's Tim Lucas named it one of the 10 most vital horror film books of all time, while Ian MacAllister-McDonald of the LA Review of Books hailed it as both a landmark in genre theory and an unexpectedly raw memoir. Janisse founded The Miskatonic Institute of Horror Studies, establishing herself as an educator and curator within horror scholarship. Her directorial debut, the three-hour documentary Woodlands Dark and Days Bewitched: A History of Folk Horror, premiered at SXSW 2021 and won the Midnighters Audience Award, marking her transition into long-form filmmaking. Born under Capricorn, Janisse embodies the sign's discipline and deep analytical focus; her life-path number of 3 reflects her communicative, creative drive across writing, teaching, and production [F1, enrichments]. As a screenwriter and director, Janisse works across documentary, criticism, and curatorial practice, modes that demand both archival research and personal voice. Her Canadian background and sustained focus on marginalized narratives within horror cinema have made her a central figure in contemporary genre studies.
