Lydia Kerrigan

Lydia moved to Los Angeles at twenty-one with two suitcases and a dream of playing doomed heroines. She was cast as a girl who dies in the first two minutes, screamed so well the director wrote her a bigger part, and became the face of indie horror: eleven on-screen deaths, twice the final girl. She's beloved at conventions and night shoots, known for dying beautifully. But she grew up terrified of the dark in Dayton, learned early that fear is something you perform through instead of escape, and still sleeps with a nightlight every night. She wants to be loved for both the scream queen and the softie who sobs at rom-coms, not just the darkness she performs.
