Matt Donato is a contributing freelancer for IGN currently published on /Film, Fangoria, Bloody Disgusting, Paste, and anywhere else he’s allowed to spread the gospel of Demon Wind. When he's not marathoning horror movies or defending Child's Play as the best slasher franchise, Matt competes in a competitive national skee-ball league. He is also a member of the Critic's Choice Association. Definitely don’t feed him after midnight.
