Artist and model Midas Langelo is one of several female contributors featured in the latest issue of “Horror Shorts.” Midas has been wonderful to work with, and her artwork is truly original. Horror Shorts is proud to partner with Midas, and we hope to see more of her and her work in the future.
You can find her on Facebook and Instagram with the LINKS below.
Here’s what she had to say: “I am beyond excited for my debut feature in Volume 3 of Valentina Von Frankenstein's Horror Shorts! The magazine is bigger and better than ever! I'm grateful to Lou Russo for reaching out and giving me the chance to be part of this incredible magazine”
The Bride, Amber brooke!
“She’s ALIVE!” Actress and model, Amber Brooke, is a rising indie horror star! On camera, she has a screen presence that quietly commands. Off camera, she has a dark sense of humor that we at Horror Shorts can totally appreciate! In fact, seeing this picture of Amber as a modern Bride of Frankenstein with our mag, gave us the equivalent of an electrical shock!
Amber will be appearing soon in the film “Aversion,” where she continues to take on challenging roles. In “Vintage,” Amber is a natural fit for the film’s eerie, psychological world. Also, look for her in the upcoming "Dasher Slasher." Previous roles include Friday the 13th Vengeance 2: Bloodlines (2022), Sexy Sorority Sisters of Death (2025), and Ombis Alien Invasion 2 (2025), just to name a few.
And look for Amber at @amber.brooke32, and Facebook/Amber Brooke.

The
Secret Origin
of
Valentina
Von Frankenstein !
The Secret Origin of Valentina Von Frankenstein! I have had the idea for an “origin” story involving my horror hostess, Valentina Von Frankenstein. I got inspiration from “Weird Science” (1985) and “Young Frankenstein” (1974). Enjoy!
A VERY brief History of Horror (and some Sci-Fi) in 4 pages!
