Horrorfest Director Announces New Fan-Created Horror: Fear 101
Craig Singer and Chris Williams started a revolution when they went to After Dark and Massify to propose that Massify.com host the first fan-created horror film and After Dark include the finished product in Horrorfest III as one of the 8 Films to Die For. Ultimately, that film became Perkins 14, directed by Singer and produced by Williams. And in a long overdue chat with Singer yesterday he told us that he and Williams are doing it again! Apparently, the duo is helming another fan-created project for Warner Bros tentatively titled Fear 101. Read what Singer had to say after the jump and check back for the full interview with Singer soon!
On Fear 101…
Chris Williams, who is my producing partner, and I are actually doing a film for Warner Bros. called Film 101, which takes the fan involvement to the next level. The fans are going to have a very meaningful opportunity to have a creative voice in the film. The working title right now from Warner Bros. is Fear 101, and I’m going to start that this winter. Maybe we’ll get to shoot that in Philly. You never know…
Will fans be able to get involved online?
Yes they will. We’re really taking the online fan component to the next level and I think it’s going to be something that moves the needle in terms of how films are made involving the fans. It’s going to be something the fans are going to want to embrace wholeheartedly. I think you’re going to see a lot more films including the web and fan inclusion.
Anything specific that you can tell us about…
I’m not at liberty to go deep but I promise as soon as we announce it, we’ll give you a peak in the basket…
Do you plan to direct Fear 101 as well?
I do plan to direct. Yes.
