Potential Crew for My Billing

In order to create my billing/credits I needed to compile a list of the crew who would work on the production of my film. I used IMDB to research various people, for example, Editors, Producers and Casting Directors, to find some who had previously worked on many horror films - I want to use the names of real people for my crew to give the poster and teaser trailer an extra layer of verisimilitude.

Novel by - Stephen King - One of the most well-known writers of horror novels of all time, King has written many novels that have gone on to become critically acclaimed feature films. These include: “Carrie”, “Salem’s Lot”, “The Shining”, “It”, “Misery” and “Christine”. 

Director - Wes Craven - Primarily a writer, Wes Craven has gone on to become one of the most renowned creators of Horror films of all time. Some of his more recent work includes “My Soul to Take” and “Scream 4”. However he is credited with directing the original “A Nightmare on Elm Street” (which he also wrote), “The Last House on the Left”, the original “The Hills Have Eyes” and the entire “Scream” series.

Executive Producer - Sam Raimi - The co-founder of Ghost House Pictures was first noticed after producing the original “The Evil Dead”. During the prime of his career he placed several Horror films under his belt, including “Drag me to Hell”, “The Messengers”, “Boogeyman” and “The Grudge”.  His most recent work includes the remake of his original production “The Evil Dead”, “The Possession”, and he has now been announced as the producer of the remake of the 1982 Horror classic “Poltergeist”.
