Bettina Bildhauer doesn’t look like someone who deals with monsters and blood all day long. She is wearing a turquoise-colored cardigan and light blue scarf with white dots, and her brown eyes have a friendly sparkle. She isn’t bothered in the least by watching horror movies or seeing blood, and she finds monsters exciting. As a child, though, Bildhauer played with Barbie dolls, not horror figures. It wasn’t until she began her university studies that she discovered her fondness for these topics, when she first encountered medieval texts and legends.
