About Your Host

Kaelyn grew up in a small New England town with a dark past. A serial killer. A serial killer her great grandfather, a junior reporter at the local paper, helped catch. You could say an obsession with digging into the dark side is in her blood.

That obsession led to a career in entertainment, first on the development side with Atomic Monster (the Conjuring universe) and then as a producer on the reboot of Are Your Afraid of the Dark. With Heart Starts Pounding, Kaelyn continues to explore the stories, real and imagined, natural and otherworldly that quicken our pulses and make us ask how well we really know ourselves, our neighbors and our world—and how well we want to.
