Horror fans are a movies biggest critic. So when you’re trying to make the perfect horror movie, you use the ultimate horror fan as your guide.
That’s what John Holt is to The Dooms Chapel Horror.
Holt directs the found-footage movie, which just wrapped principal photography last week. The movie centers around Kyle Cole, a college-aged kid who is returning to his small southern home town for the first time after leaving on bad terms. Kyle is followed by a documentary filmmaker, who is determined to catch all of the drama that is Kyle’s story.
“We knew John was the one to lead us there,” producer Chris Bower said. “He has a vision. Sometimes, we may fight him on it, because it isn’t quick and it isn’t easy, but he’s usually right and the product is spectacular.”
One step into Holt’s world reveals that his passion lays in the horror genre. Retro framed movie posters of The Wolf Man and Frankenstein. Movie props litter his shelves and decades-old copies of Fangoria and Gore Zone magazines are perfectly placed next to an extensive movie collection.
But how does the Holt’s horror obsession translate to the big screen?
“I really tried to concentrate on atmosphere,” Holt said. “And the practical effects for me were very important.”
Those practical effects had to be built, including a 10-foot tall creature that walks and kills like real. The DCH production team also brought in an effects team for makeup and quick shots, mimicking gun shot wounds and the tearing of flesh.
Holt is also joined by acclaimed horror actor Bill Oberst, Jr., who plays a influential cult leader who has changed Kyle’s life in a variety of ways. Oberst’s titles include “Abraham LIncoln vs. Zombies” and is slated to appear in 13 other horror movies this year. Variety magazine wrote: “Oberst is chilling.”
