FEATURED FEARMAKER: Carlos Omar de Leon
There used to be a time when filmmakers were forced to flock to main cities, like Los Angeles, to pursue a career in showbusiness. Int the past, the West Coast held a majority of the key elements to a successful film industry. In the past couple decades, however, technology has moved the film industry out of Los Angeles and into the rest of the world. Not using tons of expensive celluloid film, ca...[Read More]
FEATURED FEARMAKER: Paolo Greco
Imagine the opening of John Carpenter’s Halloween particularly the opening credits with the slow zoom on the jack o lantern. Why is that scene so intense? There really isn’t much to it. A pumpkin with a face on it comes slowly towards the audience, growing until it takes up the entire screen. It’s not anything too spectacular, but for some reason, it sends chills down the spines of millions of fan...[Read More]
FEATURED FEARMAKER: Shaun J. Guzman
No matter what it is you decide to do with your life, be it filmmaking, sports, espionage, the greats all started somewhere. Even the greatest of greats start as wide-eyed novices, learning first hand the basic rules of their trade. As an artist, no one starts out as a master. The beginning of a career can be difficult, with a steep learning curve, but constant practice will no doubt shake off the...[Read More]

We did not pick these women just because they work with their community, they are just that badass. This week we celebrat...[Read More]
FEATURED FEARMAKER: Brianna Abello
In the dark corner of a dark room sits a lonely girl in a lonely chair. Her fingers moving in a blur across a keyboard as she stares helplessly into the bright void of the computer screen in front of her. Violently she taps away at the keys, creating terrifying tales of grandeur and of modest frights. Anonymously she writes. For years she slaves away, tapping and creating, then destroying. Always ...[Read More]

FEATURED FEARMAKER: Cindy Maples
It’s been a great start to Women in Horror Month, and we want to keep the love and respect going by featuring all women FearMakers this month. When we first began creating the WAIH community, we thought the indie horror scene was far from thriving. Boy were we wrong. The same goes for women in horror. At first glance women only seem to pop up in front of the camera, usually running, usually toples...[Read More]
