HORROR BUSINESS

With Mark Borchardt, Dave Gebroe, Herschell Gordon Lewis, Sid Haig, Joe Bob Briggs

Directed by
Christopher P. Garetano


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...

" 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 (Night Of The Living Dead)

Horror Business made its South African premier and African debut at the 2007 South African HORRORFEST
