Welcome to the Quirky Horror Comedy of Dorky Dead!

We have bacon!
Methinks this be true.

I think I’ve finally figured out how to make my horror comedy actors scream more realistically.

4 deg f here. Just a little cold
January 19, 2026 at 7:15 PM
Yep! And I loved it!

Just a reminder. Check your equipment before you lug it!

I have to do some errands today. I just looked the temp outside. Then looked out the window and got a shiver up my spine.

Anyone have any indie horror or comedy horror films they’ve made and would like to shout out?

Where can we view it?

Looking over my first horror comedy short idea.
January 16, 2026 at 3:44 PM
Has anyone watched Dead Before Dawn 3D (2012)?

It is one of the few horror comedies I’ve seen with an uplifting ending.

I’m 56, have no experience making horror comedies, but I’m chomping on the bit to make my first short in a couple months! Follow my journey as I improve along the way!

I’m ready to shoot my first short when the weather is warmer. I know no other filmmakers around me. I bought a cheap 8k camera I don’t know how to work, and I have some obscenely cheap lavs ready to slap on. All my extremely limited knowledge is from YT. Am I nuts? Yes! Am I determined? Also yes!

Just a note of encouragement

So many horror movies prefer brownish blood. I prefer red. Which do you prefer in a horror movie?

Ever work on something and then life gets in the way?

Well, I’m finally back!

To my horror/horror-comedy peeps doing projects:

I know it's tiring. I know it's easy to become burned out. I know long hours are tiring.

But- You can do this! You have the ideas! It will be worth it!

Take a break, then get back to work. Take baby steps. Make small goals to meet. YOU CAN DO THIS!

I find this a-mew-sing.
April 19, 2025 at 7:14 AM
Gee. Thanks, buddy.
April 19, 2025 at 7:13 AM
Ok. I admit it. I'm a painful introvert.

Is it my imagination or is Newman showing his age? (Those who are younger may not get this reference.)
April 19, 2025 at 7:10 AM
Is there something wrong with this?
April 19, 2025 at 7:08 AM
Yep. I like the horror movies that have humor.
April 19, 2025 at 7:07 AM
Love this!
If you ever feel dumb, remember Ash tried to punch the most powerful psychic Pokémon ever, and Obi-Wan tried to kick a cyborg’s shin 😉

Hey, my Horror/Horror-Comedy project makers!

It's hard to keep energized sometimes. To stay motivated, try working on a different aspect of your project, then return to what you were doing.

It all needs done anyway. Break some rules if you need to and do a little out of order.

You can do this!
