FrightFest Digital Edition 2020 will be presenting the world premiere of revealing documentary The Horror Crowd on 29 August on the Arrow Video Screen.

What made the creators of films such as Dracula, Frankenstein, The Wolfman, The Exorcist, Jaws, Alien dream up the nightmares that kept us up at night?  Were they as strange and twisted as their creations? And what about today’s creators of horror?  Who are the minds behind the macabre of present day?

A revealing, intimate documentary from veteran actor insider Ruben Pla, The Horror Crowd puts a spotlight on the dedicated nightmare-creators that form Hollywood’s horror community. Covering wide-ranging topics such as ‘Being the Weird Kid’, ‘Women in Horror’, ‘Race Relations’, ‘The Dark Side’ and ‘Film Festivals’, this fascinating insight into horror filmmaking and the movie industry features contributions from some of horror’s most innovative and renowned creators such as Oren Peli (director, Paranormal Activity), Russel Mulcahy (Highlander, Razorback), Lin Shaye (Insidious, A Nightmare on Elm Street), Adam Robitel (Insidious: The Last Key, Escape Room), Darren Lynn Bousman (Saw II), Ernest R.
