Horror is the Punk Rock of Cinema, and S.O.V. (shot on video) movies prove it!
For decades, fans made movies without Hollywood, money, or distribution deals. Following the DIY ethos, regional horror movies sprung up everywhere and told crazy, original, and personal stories and created a subculture.
Just like punk rock did!
Join me on "Tape One," where I discuss the long history of renegade moviemaking outside the system, some of my favorite SOV movies, and make a confession about my own SOV film from 1993!
("Tape Two," a discussion of ten more SOV movies, will drop on Black Friday!)
I hope you enjoy the show!
