Trailer of the Week: Girls Nite Out (The Scaremaker, 1984)
Filmed in New Jersey but set in Ohio, this goofy but entertaining slasher film was made by two well-known Buckeye State attorneys, and features Ohio's own Hal Holbrook.
There was an article which appeared in The Columbus Dispatch about the making of this film when the producers were in production. Sensing a possible Fangoria article, I called one of them. I learned: 1) neither had a clue there was a network of horror movie fans and 2) in Hollywood, everyone is a movie producer.
The Dead Next Door is a blog about regional or "backyard" horror and science fiction films made from the late 1950s to the earlyl 1990s (and beyond). These films were released during the peak years of independent film production, created by a motley crew of seasoned pros, gifted amateurs, and enthusiastic genre fans, along with dozens of eccentric dreamers -- doctors, lawyers, insurance salesmen, publishers, commercial filmmakers, TV production crews and moonlighting pornographers -- all looking for their big break or a fast buck or both.
