Birmingham, AL June 3rd, 2013: No-budget horror maverick, Zachary Paul, has decided to take his “backyard” Paul was inspired by the success of Zach Braff who raised over 3 million dollars with his Wish I Were Here Kickstarter campaign. “At this point, I truly wish I were as cool as Zach Braff,” jokes the young director. However, Paul is hoping to emulate only a modicum of the success of Braff. The fundraising goal of Museum of Horror and the DVD series is $60,000. Museum of Horror will be told in four different stories ranging from a suspenseful shocker in the vein of the classic Hepburn film, Wait Until Dark, to more over the top, gory fare along the lines of Return of the Living Dead or Creepshow. Furthermore, what makes this campaign even more unique is that Paul is seeking the new face of horror to be featured in both projects. “I’m a huge fan of Elvira, and I think that type of campy horror showmanship is missing in the genre these days. The genre has become so depressing lately,” states Paul when asked what has inspired the contest. The competition will run alongside the fundraising efforts of the Kickstarter campaign, starting the night of June 4th with both ending on July 10th. “The last week we’ll reveal the finalists. Everyone will vote for their favorite, and the winner will be announced the same day as our successfully funded campaign comes to an end,” Paul adds optimistically. Paul believes the winner can fill the shoes left by the likes of Vampira, Zacherle, and Elvira Mistress of the Dark. “We’re looking for girls, guys, and even guys who dress like girls. We just want someone who can embody all that is scary, funny, and sexy within the horror genre,” Paul says when asked what the ideal horror host should exude. “I joke and say Make This A Movie is a ‘back yard’ production company. We’ve done this no-budget stuff for years. I think we’re finally ready to move beyond the back yard,” Paul says with a huge grin as he puts the final touches on his Kickstarter campaign the night before launch. Zachary Paul and company plan to have Museum of Horror ready for Halloween screenings in October, with the launch of the DVD series shortly thereafter.
