BIO: Mo Moshaty is an award-winning horror writer, screenwriter, lecturer, and producer whose work interrogates women’s trauma, transformation, cultural identity, and the architectures of power within the genre. She is the Founder and Editor-in-Chief of NightTide Magazine, a platform dedicated to amplifying marginalized voices in horror, and the founder of Mourning Manor Media.
With Nyx Horror Collective, A Stowe Story Labs Fellowship Provider, she co-produced the short films 13 Minutes of Horror: Folklore and 13 Minutes of Horror: Sci-Fi Horror; the latter garnering a Rondo Hatton Classic Horror Award for Best Short Film in 2022. As a nonfiction writer and cultural critic, Mo’s work explores the intersections of gender, body politics, folklore, and the Gothic tradition. She has lectured internationally across the US, UK, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, and Canada, and has spoken at institutions including the British Film Institute, University of Sheffield, Prairie View, Texas A&M University, and the Miskatonic Institute of Horror Studies. Her scholarship and public lectures examine horror as a site of inheritance, resistance and re-authorship.
Mo has provided audio commentary for Vinegar Syndrome and written print commentary for re-releases with Second Sight Films. She is featured in 160 Black Women in Horror. Through her fiction, criticism, and curatorial work, she committed to reshaping horror into a space where marginalized voices lead the narrative and the genre’s most haunted structures are finally named, challenged, and rebuilt.
