Disclaimer: I don't have this book, I didn't write this book, and I haven't even read this book. But, based on the description, I think I want this book...
So, you'd like to be the next George Romero, huh? You want to amaze your friends and disgust your family with your magnum opus, "Zombie Attack Picnic Slaughterfest (Part VII)"? Then you probably need
this book.
From the description:
Recognizing that most independent filmmakers must work on very small budgets, Filming the Undead emphasizes ways to find low-cost solutions for creating effects that rival those of Hollywood studios.
And there's more! Filming the Undead is filled with step-by-step, how-to color photos and illustrations, lists of needed equipment and materials, do-and-don't warnings, and virtually everything a low-budget filmmaker needs to know before starting out to produce a successful horror movie. With this book, you'll have no excuse but your own laziness for not making your very own Zombie Citizen Kane.
Anyone who's still shopping for Christmas for me, take note. :-)
