Small & Creepy Films

If you have seen Edward Scissorhands, The Nightmare Before Christmas, The Secret Garden, Black Beauty, Tim Burton's Corpse Bride, or City of Ember, then you have experienced the work of Caroline Thompson. She is a screenwriter, director, published author and co-owner (with her husband, producer Steve Nicolaides, and filmmaker Peter LeBow) of Small and Creepy Films, a totally awesome website dedicated to, um, non-large and macabre movies...

I went to the site after reading an inspiring interview with Caroline, and immediately fell in love with it. There are some impressively twisted shorts on the site, and a serialized version of "The Hills Are Alive", which is a feature-length horror movie that Caroline and Steve made with a small crew in the hills of Ojai, California. Yum! If you are more comfortable in the world of YouTube, they also have a channel there: http://www.youtube.com/user/smallandcreepyfilms

I highly recommend checking this site out, if you are a fan of weirdness and do-it-yourself filmmaking like I am. It's a virtual smorgasbord, I'm telling you...

Here's the first episode of "The Hills Are Alive":
