archived-videos Horror Filmmaking

FlintRat · May 26, 2020

I see a lot of talented people on this site daily from all different skill bevels and genres but I haven't seen too much horror. I know it may be tacky to some but just figured I would throw up a flag and see if anyone else is interested in horror filmmaking and what makes a good horror movie. Basic discussion I guess but I come from a mostly comedy background with a strong love of horror films and my crew and i finally got to make a horror short in 2017 that I'm pretty proud of. It was our first try at something with so many gore gags and moving parts so even with it being not so perfect I love it to death. It's kind of an homage to slasher movies from the 80's so kind of a horror comedy! Check it out if you have time! Also looking forward to talking shop with you and checking out some stuff if you have it!
Also, sorry if this is the wrong place to post but it seems fitting!

It started out rough around edges - more video than cinematic, but then the more I watched, the better I was liking it. The ice cream man character is hilarious. His masked cohort was good, too. Wow, you have a lot of extras, which was impressive. My favorite parts were the fudge rumper brain freeze and the very end, with the ice cream and final shot. Overall, this was really ambitious and pretty entertaining. Good job.

I've posted a few sci-fi/horror projects. I've also scored some slasher movies. Here are some Indietalk threads with my horror stuff:

BUG COMPLEX Perhaps my favorite short!
ENTITY WITHIN
THE HAG IN THE HILLS
Shoot The Monster Creature montage from my movie, EXILE
TERRARIUM aka WOTP. Another space monster movie.
AXEMAS 2 Music score
POOL PARTY MASSACRE Score

Still making my way through these but I really love The Hag in the Hills! I wanted to see more!

Thanks! Don't feel obligated to watch them all. I mainly wanted to illustrate a certain volume of horror. HAG was a 48 HFP. I shot it on a Friday night and turned it in, Sunday, so it was best to keep it short. A lot of fun, though. That filming location is nicely secluded. I would like to use more of it in the future.
