Woman (In Horror) Crush Wednesday – International Women’s Day
Here we are again, my Little Monsters, on another Woman Crush Wednesday. However, I have not chosen any specific woman of the horror genre to celebrate today. Why haven’t I made a selection for today? I promise you all, it’s not because I have been remiss in my duties as a writer. It’s because I wanted to give you, the readers, a chance to let your voices be heard…so to speak. What could I possibly mean by that? It means that since it’s International Women’s Day, I want to celebrate by finding out who your favorite woman or women in our beloved horror genre happen to be. Who’s you favorite final girl, your favorite scream queen, or you favorite female filmmaker? Elsa Lanchester? Simone Simon? Barbara Steele? Adrienne Barbeau? Marilyn Burns? Katharine Isabelle? Jessica Cameron? Amanda Wyss? I know there are so many to choose from besides the ones I have just mentioned, but I sincerely want to know. Women

What’s even stranger than the long production time is the story behind the film. Andrew Getty, heir to the Getty oil fortune and grandson of J. Paul Getty, wrote, directed and invested $6 million of his own money into the movie. Principal photography, which began in 2002, would start and stop, taking 5 years to complete. Getty insisted on making his own camera rigs, animatronics and sets. He worked on tweaking the film all the way up to his death on March 31, 2015 in an attempt to reach perfection. Sean Patrick Flannery, Michael Berryman, Fred Kochler, Brianna Brown and Dina Meyer star in the film, inspired by Getty’s own nightmares, which centers on a mentally challenged boy whose dreams are invaded by
