John Russo began his career by co-authoring the screenplay for NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD which has spawned several sequels, and inspired many other films of the same genre! John's three books on the art and craft of movie making have become bibles of independent production. One of the them, SCARE TACTICS, has won a national award for Superior Achievement in Nonfiction. Quentin Tarantino, Darren Lynn Bousman and many other noted filmmakers have unabashedly stated that Russo's books have helped them to launch their careers.

Seeking $50,000 towards the production

This campaign will enable us to complete our film. Already in place are combinations of deferred fees, goods and services, and free locations, and accommodations that together will help to get the film produced. The campaign's Perks include many limited and exclusive items, as well as exciting film career enhancing credits and acting roles! -- Once in a lifetime opportunities. Even if we don't reach our goal, we will direct any funds accrued via this campaign towards the production and marketing of this film. Backing this project allows our director to film a truer vision of his classic horror novel, now updated for 2013. John Russo would like to remake THIS movie so he can do the things he could not 30 years ago.
