About Me

Hi! I’m Kaci, more commonly known as “The Homicidal Homemaker“.

It’s been said that I put the “cleaver” in June Cleaver, but I’ve also been referred to as the “Martha Stewart of the Macabre” for my spooktacular horror movie inspired recipes and creations. If you’re looking to become an expert on Ghoul Housekeeping, then you’ve stumbled into the right crypt…

I’m an actress, producer, and director that works primarily in the horror genre, but ultimately, I am a creator. Every day is Halloween for me – I have a passion for all things macabre, and try to find as many ways as possible to integrate that in with everyday life. After creating Halloween inspired recipes for various publications and outlets in the early 2000’s, I decided to start this website to inspire others to bring a spooky element to their lives through horror-inspired recipes, cocktails, product reviews, tutorials, and themed parties, and general good crypt keeping tips!

I reside in my beautiful mid-century home in Central California, where I have been a horror host for more than a decade. Since in 2008, I’ve founded and organized several horror-themed organizations and events, such as the Central Valley Horror Club (Central CA’s first & only horror-themed organization), and the Visalia Zombie Ball & Crawl (Central CA’s first-ever zombie-themed event). I’ve hosted a multitude of monthly live horror movie screenings, horror-themed concerts & events, and even hosted my own late-night horror talk show on a public-access station, called Friday Night Frights.

Throughout the years, I’ve been involved with so many fun projects, such as music videos, indie horror films, founded & performed with a horror-themed dance troupe, and was one of 13 finalists in Fangoria Magazine’s nationwide search for their 2010 Spooksmodel. I also was the hostess of my own horror-themed comic book! But for now, I’ve chosen to put my full-time focus into The Homicidal Homemaker, but I still try to do plenty of fun things for my fans, like my popular horror cooking classes at various horror conventions, including ScareLA in Pasadena, HauntX in Reno, Sinister Creature Con in Sacramento, and Midsummer Scream in Long Beach.

Bringing videos to The Homicidal Homemaker was something I always wanted to do, but through the whirlwind of my other projects, I stuffed those plans back into the darkest corner of my crypt. My dreams of producing video content for The Homicidal Homemaker were resurrected in 2016, when my horror-themed cooking show premiered! I not only develop the recipes myself, but I also write each episode, co-direct, co-produce, and even make some of the props, costumes, and execute special effects used on the show.

Within just a few months of premiering, The Homicidal Homemaker horror cooking show ended up being the first-ever web series available on the Screambox platform, and is also regularly shown on AT&T Uverse & Comcast in the Central California area, as well as Roku and Amazon Prime.

In 2017, another dream of mine came true – The Homicidal Homemaker was added as a featured column to the horror publication Rue Morgue Magazine, with my recipes debuting in the 20th anniversary September/October 2017 issue. I’ve been a long-time reader of Rue Morgue, so to have my recipes immortalized within the pages of their publication is an incredible honor. I’ve since had to resign from my column due to commitments to other projects, but it was such an honor to work with them!

In 2018, I announced that I partnered exclusively with Deadhead Rum and Sangre de Vida Tequila.

In 2020, I was honored to receive a Silver Bolo Award from Joe Bob Briggs and Darcy the Mail Girl on the television show The Last Drive-In with Joe Bob Briggs on Shudder. On top of this already being an incredible recognition, I was actually the first female recipient of the award! With Joe Bob is one of my life-long horror hosting inspirations, this truly was a surreal experience to have my work recognized by him, that I still am a bit in disbelief about…even now! It was definitely the highlight of 2020 for me.

I am an “animal mom” and have a huge heart for all creatures (and for those of you who don’t already know, a longtime vegetarian), so it meant so very much to be to close out 2021 being involved with YorkieThon 6 with Adam Green, Joe Lynch, and Arwen at ArieScope Studios. It definitely was the most heart-warming part of the year for me to be involved with an event that directly benefits saving the lives of our furry friends. YorkieThon 6’s event raised $37,248.53 for SAVE A YORKIE RESCUE!

Recently, I have been working with various production companies for special features on blu-ray releases (check out Vinegar Syndrome’s release of Auntie Lee’s Meat Pie’s and Terror Vision‘s releases of Cannibal Campout and Frogman, the latter which is available now through Wal-Mart!), doing recipes for various websites (check out what I have been cooking up for FANGORIA!), and working on producing a new travel food series, Deliciously Dark Dining with Kaci Hansen – more info will be released on that soon!

Thank you for stopping by my website, and reading a little bit about yours ghoulishly. Be sure to connect with me on Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter, to get updates on these projects, and don’t forget to hit that subscribe button over on my YouTube channel!
