HORROR BUSINESS

"MOVIEMAKING IS NO WAY TO SPEND A LIFE"

About Me


Horror Business is an outrageously entertaining documentary about guerrilla horror filmmakers and the bizarre culture that drives them to pursue their dreams. In 2003, filmmaker Christopher P. Garetano began what would become a two year journey to discover what possesses people to become horror filmmakers... Armed with nothing but a camera and a microphone, Chris traveled all over the United States to visit independent filmmakers on and off their sets. In Horror Business you will witness that two year journey unfold and meet some truly independent filmmakers including Mark Borchardt (American Movie) and Dave Gebroe (Zombie Honeymoon) along with monster movie personalities like Herschell Gordon Lewis (Blood Feast), Joe Bob Briggs (cult film critic & author), and Sid Haig (Spider Baby, The Devils Rejects). Horror Business is a timeless essay of popcorn generation nostalgia and behind-the-scenes moments that just may prove ..movie making really is no way to spend a life..

My Interests

I'd like to meet:



Here's what some good folks have said about Horror Business:



"[Horror Business] is a terrific flick. Christopher Garetano has completely succeeded in describing the passions, the adventures- and the misadventures- of crazy people like me who, somewhere along the way, decided they... needed to make movies. Anyone who wants to write or direct should see this film. Those who have never dreamed of being filmmakers should see it for its humor and its pure entertainment value. Two thumbs up- both of them mine because, like the others Garetano has portraited, I basically work alone."

-George A. Romero

"More than just a documentary, it`s a meditation on the spirit of true independent filmmaking, far off the red carpets, outside of Hollyweird`s corporate boardrooms and away from the casting couches, all-night star parties and the glare of the paparazzis` cameras."

-KILLERREVIEWS.COM

"This disjointed look at the world of underground filmmaking may perfectly reflect the current status of our genre. All horror fans should check out this cool little doco."

-HouseofHorrors.com

"[Horror Business] is an extremely competent, thoroughly engaging film about horror movies and those who love them. It is as inspiring a movie as 'American Movie"

-Daulton Dickey, FilmThreat.com

"Sharply edited, 'Horror Business' emerges as a perceptive and revealing documentary about the enormous struggles to make creepy celluloid"

-
Tony Timpone, Fangoria Magazine

"Indeed, this (Horror Business) is a good movie. In fact, it's downright refreshing. Any self proclaimed horror enthusiast worth his .. or her .. salt should do themselves a great service and seek this little gem out."

Rees Savidis - JoeBlo.com

"Garetano has made a thoroughly entertaining film that takes us inside the minds of five disparate horror filmmakers and shows us what they go through to make their and our dreams (or nightmares) come true."

-Elaine Lamkin -Bloody-Disgusting.com

"An excitingly visual documentary, Horror Business is an honest yet hopeful look at the no-budget end of genre filmmaking."

-Adam Barnick EINSIDERS.COM

"As soon as I heard the first line out of Mark Borchardt's mouth, I knew I was in for a rare treat & and being a horror film aficionado myself, that treat only got better as the films various filmmaker accounts unfolded."

-
Bruno Derlin, VisionFest 05

"It's a definite must for all you out there that want to know what it means to be a horror filmmaker."

-Ammon Gilbert, Arrowinthehead.com

"Horror Business is a frank and revealing glimpse of what the scene is like today."

-Lee Bailes, Rumourmachine.com

"If you're an independent filmmaker, a horror fan or a third party Horror Business is a must see film!"
