International Horror Legend Hart D. Fisher,
through his company Crime Pays Inc., has announced that he is
seeking independent full-length horror films, shorts, and music
videos to feature on his new show, American Horrors, for European
television. He is seeking films that have solid characterization,
fresh ideas, new villains, and adhere more to the sustained suspense
of classic shockers from the past such as The Shining, The Omen,
Wait Until Dark, The Howling, John Carpenters The Thing and The
Exorcist.
“American Horrors presents a major opportunity for independent
American creators, allowing them to find a vast untapped audience
for their work, and let’s be honest here, an audience that most
of these creators wouldn’t otherwise enjoy,” said Crime
Pays Inc. President Hart D. Fisher. “I’ve got an established
reputation for breaking talent in the publishing business. I
aim to bring that skill to genre film production in the same
way Roger Corman did during his heyday.”
Mr. Fisher is currently in talks with horror filmmakers around
the country, including notable indie powerhouses like John (Insaniac)
Specht, Halfway House director Ken Hall, blind film director
Joseph M. Monks (The Bunker) and others.
American Horrors will be broadcast to seventeen
European nations, including Germany, France, Sweden, Norway,
Switzerland, Austria, The Alto Adige Province of Italy, Lichtenstein,
Luxembourg, Denmark, Croatia, Serbia, Bosnia, Montenegro, Macedonia
and Kosovo by Global Broadcasting & Syndication Inc. on the
IndiePix Channel.
