My name is Kyra Schon (see handy pronunciation guide here) and I appeared as the cellar dwelling, trowel wielding, mother stabbing, father's arm eating zombie girl Karen Cooper in the original 1968 Night of the Living Dead. I grew up watching and loving horror movies and I realize how fortunate I was to be a part of horror-film history; it has truly been one of the highlights of my life. Read more...
2008 isn't just the Year of the Rat 
, you know; it's also the Year of the Zombie. The Romero Zombie, that is...
October 1 of this year will mark Night of the Living Dead's 40th anniversary. To honor the date, lots of events have been planned for a Night of the Living Dead 40th Anniversary Tour. Some dates have already been confirmed and posted on my Conventions page. More dates will be added in the very near future, so check back often!
July 4,2008:
- Check out Amok Time's new, fully-posable Karen Cooper figure! You can pre-order it on their website right now. The prototype is pictured above; the finished product will have really cute shoes (no self-respecting ghoul walks around barefoot when she's "shopping for dinner"). Amok Time also has Bill Hinzman (Graveyard Ghoul), Duane Jones (Ben) and Judy O'Dea (Barbara) figures available for pre-order. There will be limited quantities of all, so pre-order them now and collect the whole set!
- A new mini-Mego will be forthcoming from FearWerx soon, too!
- And speaking of FearWerx, their AUTHORIZED "Warhol-esque" Karen Cooper t-shirt is available at conventions and in Ghoulish Gifts! Feast your eyes here.

Four Seasons of Horror
Patter of blood drip.
Quiet groan of tearing flesh.
Spring evenings with you.
I press the knife thus
To pierce your heart like a rose.
Summer ritual.
The dead fall like leaves
And gather along rock walls.
Autumn breeze blows brisk.
Your white dress lies still.
Darkened by your dying love.
Winter covers sin.
