Wanted: Horror movie script adviser

Wanted: Horror movie script adviser

Every horror movie made from here on out should have an on-set adviser – no exceptions.

If the adviser slaps his/her head in disgust more than three times due to the boneheaded moves made by our heroes, the entire film gets shut down for rewrites.

Am watching “The Strangers” right now … I’ll post my review later today.

Yes, the film inspired this mid-movie rant.

hmmm…..if this were the current practice maybe we would only get good horror films but then again Troma would go under and we wouldn’t have such modern classics such as ‘Poultrygeist’.

Troma knows exactly what makes a bad horror movie, and do it on purpose for schlock effect. They don’t count.
