Reviews
“Splatter Flicks is the Necronomicon of the low-budget horror filmmaker. This unholy manual should open a threshold to future auteurs of the macabre, placing dangerous information in the hands of unwholesome cineastes and freaks with cameras.”
—Scott Kosar, Screenwriter of The Machinist, The Texas Chainsaw Massacre ’03, and The Amityville Horror ’05
“This book will be a must have for fans of the genre, but a bible for genre filmmakers worldwide.”
—Michael J. Hein, CEO, MooDude Films and Director of the NYC Horror Film Festival
