7) Keep the set simple
"The set itself was just my house, a normal house that people can relate to. It’s designed this way on purpose – it’s not a creepy castle."
"I decorated it first because before that it didn’t look normal! I wanted to make it a nice, upper middle class home that people are familiar with. This was a perfect excuse to spruce it up."
8) Be funny
"I did want to have some humour in the movie, especially at the beginning. Humour is always a good way to connect to the characters and it just makes the movie more interesting.
"And Micah is a really funny guy so many of the funniest lines are stuff I didn’t even tell him to say – he just came up with it on the spot."
9) Haunt the person, not the property
"From what I’ve read, demons pick on a person and just start haunting them, possessing them: once you’re it, there’s not much you can do about it.
"To me that’s much scarier than a haunted house. A house you can move away from."

If you are watching with a good audience, you will have fun. Sit at the back and enjoy people reacting in front of you.

LOL! This guy directs a limp home movie that should have been shown on youtube instead of theaters, and now he acts like he's some freaking expert on horror films? This guy is destined to fade into obscurity like the hacks who made Blair WItch. A warning to all you wannabe film makers out. If you want any chance of success, listen to what this guy says -- AND DO THE TOTAL OPPOSITE!
