Who wants to make horror?

[Dr. Briggs]

Because I do.

I make this thread because I see nothing that could fill the "currently in theaters" forum now; summer of course being a bad time for theatrical released horror-films. This is a situation that must be remedied. I really want to make something horrific this summer, even if it would be something off the cuff

Are you asking who wants to make a horror film? In that case, I know I do.

[Dr. Briggs]

Yes indeedy. I thought this could be a thread for general idea-tossing/frustrations

[CarolinePar]

count me in for random brainstorming or the creation of TH crew shirts

they may not be FANGORA AWESOME but at least they'd be FREE

and isn't that worth something right there?

anyway Briggs - where did you want to start? something on your mind...?

[Scarecrow]

I've been wanting to make a zombie film ever since I went and saw Super 8. That inspired me, again.

A thread for Tossing off ............ excuse me while i join in :wanker:

[LolliePop]

Bahahaha. Now thats out of my system....

I'd love to be involved with anything that handles makeup or practical effects. I'm more on the fashion side but I hanker to expand past what I've tried. It would just be an amazing experience.

As for what you guys are doing, I'd love to hear what you throw out there.

[COLOR="Red"]No doubt making horror films is something I've always wanted to do. I'm studying film-making right now with a concentration in Screenwriting and Digital Effects.

I've also done make-up and practical effects on a few sci-fi/horror shorts in town.

Making horror movies is definitely a long term plan for me.[/COLOR]

When I was 11 or 10 I wrote a screenplay, about 15 pages, for a sequel to Tremors 2 because Tremors 3 hadn't come out yet. It would take place in New York during Christmas time and the worms would devour people in the snow. Because of genetics, they develop acid spitting tendrils on their heads. Sadly, this film would never make it so I ditched the script.

I'd love to make a horror movie someday and my buddy and I made a short called Hex about a cursed jack-o-lantern.

To answer Caroline: I have many, many things on my mind. My current project is an anthology film which I've just recently taken to working on again. It's nothing "spectacular," but I'm writing it as something my friends and I might actually be able to make. The problem is that for how simple the filming process should be, I'm not sure it would truly be an effective horror film.

Also on the back-burner, 2 shorts I'm feeling like writing down very quickly, just as experiments to flex my filmmaking muscles before moving on to full pictures: one is a cult of men dressing like monsters and maniacs who live in a haunted house (not an actual one, the kind people set up for Halloween) and torture people to pay tribute to the spirit of Halloween, another is a suspense piece about two brothers (one debilitatingly shy but deranged, the other a mute brute) who lure people to secluded places and kill them

ok at the risk of sounding like a
Briggs - since I joined TH your knowledge of both behind the scenes and in depth written work/reflections have been some of the BEST I have ever read.
That being said - I look forward to see what your vision translates in whatever visual medium you put your imagination and ability to
