as a chance to interact with people just like me," says Barton. "Horror fans have long been frowned upon. I wanted to help create a place, a gathering point, which they could call home, free of judgment." And so he did.

His tenure with Fango lasted nearly two years until he was afforded the opportunity to expand his creative muscles by working with The Horror Channel as both a professional and a personality. From there he took the next step, free of all corporate entities, and struck out on his own with his team in tow to form one of the industry's largest and most well-respected websites, DreadCentral where he amassed a following of millions of horror fans from around the world.

Now an award-winning film producer, an award-winning editor-in-chief, a WGA writer, an actor, a live event host, television personality, radio host, published author, respected horror and paranormal historian, taste-maker and critic with well over two hundred written reviews under his belt and tens of thousands of followers across social media, Steve has become one of the single most trusted names in the fields of horror, paranormal, and film. He shows no signs of slowing down and continues to carve out a name for himself despite the ups and downs that all roller coasters bring.
