I can't believe I haven't done this yet. Anyway... Hello Everyone! I'm Tom. I'm a student filmmaker. I have been studying film for three years and it has become a huge part of my life. I'm a huge horror fan. I love the feeling of being scared. My love of horror flicks is actually what sparked my interest in filmmaking. I have met many famous horror stars such as Robert Englund (Freddy Krueger himself), Malcolm McDowell, Scout Taylor-Compton (Rob Zombie's Halloween), and George A. Romero. I'm bi. I came out about a month ago. Unfortunately, I live in a town that is not so accepting of that kind of thing. Obviously, I'm a coaster junkie. I have been one my entire life. And I've known who Bolliger & Mabillard were since I was five.

I was really nervous about posting this here. I'm bi. I came out fairly recently (one month ago to be exact) and I know it's nothing to be ashamed of at all. Unfortunately, the neighborhood I live in is kinda homophobic (or biphobic in my case). This is the second site to know about it.

I edited a fan trailer for the new Nightmare on Elm Street (which I am not looking forward to, actually). I hope you all like it. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AEeb_BH_nV4

I would personally like to thank all of you for your comments. I am also very happy to report that the trailer for Sightings has recently received 4th place in the movie trailer category of the Student Television Network Fall Nationals.

Yeah the whole "School Video project", but what's chasing them is completely different than Blair Witch.

Thanks! I am glad you all liked it! and to answer MG's question, I edit using Final Cut Pro. Can't wait to post more when Production starts.

Sightings is a short film that a friend of mine and I are writing and I am directing. Synopsis: A group of high school students are doing a video report for their Digital Video class. When the group starts following an unknown figure, the get themselves entangled in a quite horrifying situation. One by one the group gets plucked off by an unknown assailant, and the only thing left is their footage. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nFEkfdL7BPw Facebook fan page

What song are you listening to right now? Me: Disposable teens~~Marilyn Manson

I use a combination of how bad the remakes released by that company were and how the footage from the new one looks.

THANK YOU! Horror really is meant to be gritty. Why does that not translate nowadays?!

Platinum Dunes released a behind the scenes featurette for the "A NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET" remake on the Final Destination dvd. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=487pSY4rXX4 I have to say, I don't think this movie looks good at all really, which is sad (and almost insulting) because the original NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET is one of my all-time favorite movies.

God I haven't been on this site in months!

Have you ever seen a film with a stupid, funny, and/or down right ridiculous twist ending? If so, please share your story here. My example would have to be a film, in which a family adopts a young girl who is not as innocent as she seems and goes on a murderous rampage. And it turns out [spoiler ALERT] SHE IS ACTUALLY A 30 OR 40 SOMETHING PROSTITUTE WHO HAS A RARE FORM OF DWARFISM that makes her look like a child! Who came up with this!!!!

What is the best way to make a wingover without using any of the tools like AHG, Elementary, etc.? I would really appreciate a tutorial. Thanks.
