The Fright Gallery Presents - The Documentary

Every October, 25 friends take more than a month to create an original Halloween spectacle unlike anything you have ever seen or heard. With 10 years of footage, the director explores what influences them to do it and why 3000 people descend upon one house's front lawn to watch a show so unique, they return year after year.

I remember seeing many movies at the drive-in theater when I was a kid. But it was 'Star Wars' that made me think, "I don't know how they made that, but that's what I want to do: create a world that only exists on film." I was 11 years old at the time.

In 1985 I began pursuing my dream by majoring in film at Los Angeles Valley College. I quickly noticed that most of the other students liked directing their own projects but didn't care much about cutting them. To me, editing the film was every bit as important as directing it, so I volunteered to cut everyone else's projects.

I feel fortunate to have worked on many films including 'Hotel California', 'Animal', 'Madonna Truth or Dare', 'Bring It On', 'Down With Love', 'Mighty Joe Young', 'Mercury Rising', 'Speed 2', 'The Ghost and the Darkness', 'Broken Arrow', 'Desperado' and 'Four Rooms'.
