Cheap Scares! Low Budget Horror Filmmakers Share Their Secrets
Author: Gregory Lamberson
Video Production: Grave Thoughts
Filmmaker and author Gregory Lamberson devotes half of this filmmaking guide to his own experiences in the world of low budget horror cinema, working on such films as I Was a Teenage Zombie, Slime City and Brain Damage, and the other half to in depth interviews with other indie horror filmmakers (Larry Fessenden, Roy Frumkes, Scooter McCrae, J.R. Bookwalter, Brett Piper), an entertainment attorney, the president of a DVD distribution company, and a marketing executive. The book covers everything you need to know about creating a low budget horror film, with an emphasis on storytelling and marketing.
