Documentary ‘The Horror Crowd’ to debut at Frightfest 2020

Fear…the most primal of human emotions. Dracula, Frankenstein, The Wolfman… The Exorcist, Jaws, Alien. What made the creators of these films 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?

That’s the question posed by The Horror Crowd, a new revealing, intimate documentary from veteran actor insider Ruben Pla, which 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), Russell Mulcahy (Highlander, Razorback), Lin Shaye (Insidious, A Nightmare on Elm Street), Adam Robitel (Insidious: The Last Key, Escape Room), Darren Lynn Bousman (Saw II), and Ernest R. Dickerson (Tales from the Crypt: Demon Knight, The Walking Dead).

The Horror Crowd is the directorial debut of veteran horror actor Ruben Pla (Insidious, Contracted). Produced by Ruben Pla and Arielle Brachfield, and co-produced by Hank Braxtan.

FrightFest Digital Edition presents the World Premiere of The Horror Crowd on 29th August on the Arrow Video Screen. Buy digital screening tickets here:
