Hi Everyone, I am a writer/producer/director based in Minnesota. I co-wrote, produced, and directed "The Control Group," a horror feature starring Brad Dourif (Lord of the Rings, Child's Play, One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest) which will be released by Wild Eye Releasing in theaters, DVD, and VOD. I am currently developing a TV pilot and several features. I'm looking for writing and producing partners for my next project as a director. My interest is in horror, especially the gory, stylized horror of the 70s and 80s. Drop me a line if you like the same!

Hey Peter, love the 70's & 80's horror! Haven't seen any for many years... what would you recommend to watch?
Hi Gary! I'm a big fan of the Italian horror films: Suspiria, The Beyond, Deep Red, Cannibal Holocaust, and many more. Then on the American side, Alien, Predator, The Thing, Dawn of the Dead, Halloween. It's amazing how many great horror films were coming out all the time in that era!
Very impressive, Peter! Really great to have you part of the community. When will your movie be released?

Welcome! Wow! How many Hurds are on Stage32? I just "met" another gentleman the other day here!
Hey, are you in search of originals ideas or? I have one horror idea though it needs a lot of work ;)

Can't go past THE FLY and THE EXORCIST for pure creepy thrills and JAWS has to be one of my favourite horror thrillers. We need to reverse the trend in torture porn and get back to pure suspense. If you need an opinion or script editor, get in touch.
