Carey Borth about horror movies
“Remember screenwriters, horror still remains the biggest moneymaker genre. You don’t need A-list talent, there are a host of nice pro’s that are recognizable faces that are fairly easy to employ, they are really fun and creative sets, they are cheap to make and easy to shoot. Stream it and use social media to your full advantage advertising and you’ve made your first film. The audience is built-in as the number of horror enthusiasts is legion. People love to reduce stress by being scared. BOO!” - Carey Borth (Writer, Script Dr., Producer, Filmmaker)

HELLRAISER May 6, 2019
David S Goyer to Write and Produce Clive Barker’s ‘Hellraiser’ Redo for Spyglass “Hellraiser” is the first project since company was launched in March
Spyglass Media Group is breathing new life into “Hellraiser” with a reimagining of Clive Barker’s 1987 horror classic featuring the iconic character Pinhead, with David S. Goyer on board to produce and write the story, the company announced on Monday.
In hell, the Cenobite Pinhead and the Auditor of the Stygian Inquisition (Gary J. Tunnicliffe) are discussing how to adapt their methods of harvesting souls in the face of advancing human technology which is making the Configurations (gateways to hell) obsolete. On Earth, three detectives – brothers Sean and David Carter (Randy Wayne) and Christine Egerton – investigate a serial killer known as the Preceptor, whose murders are based on the Ten Commandments.

CLUB DEAD ON FESTIVALS
O
ur plans include of course submitting "Club Dead" to film festivals and in particular those dealing with the Horror genre.
T
hey would include the prestigious The Academy of Science Fiction, Fantasy and Horror Films founded back in 1972 which annually give out The Saturn Awards. An academy in which I was involved in since its inception with Dr. Donald A. Reed the founder. Would seem a good place to begin where the academy could have a film entered by one of the original members. (see http:// www.saturnawards.org)
O
f course we also would submit to The Sitges Film Festival which is a Spanish film festival and one of the world's foremost international festivals specializing in fantasy and horror films. (see https:// sitgesfilmfestival.com/eng)
T
his is just to name a few and to let you know we do not walk away from our film once it is made but intend to follow up and get publicity everywhere we can. There are many other well respected Horror groups annually presenting awards which we want to enter and compete in. Our previous horror work can be watched here with the password ZLS_2018:
