How To Make A Horror Movie

The A-to-Zombie of horror movie making

Cindys and Todds

The Cliché: A troop of teens, all with names like Cindy and Todd, decide to go on holiday/road trip/dare to aforementioned abandoned area.

Appears In: The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (2003)

How To Recreate It: Walk into any branch of Gap, Abercrombie and Fitch, All Saints or likewise and shout ‘Cindy! Todd!’ until somebody named Cindy or Todd answers.

Once you’ve collected sufficient numbers of Cindys and Todds, ensure all are allergic to wearing shirts, have an unseasonal tan and can’t recite the alphabet past N.

All you need now is some kind of toy-looking Jeep or dusty van for them to drive around in and you’ve got yourself an instant horror movie cast.

      'beg, borrow and still' - as in, like, a moonshining still? C'mon TF!

      shouldnt you mention the soundtrack? a lot of horror films are only scary because of the subtle background theme music, maybe you should add that
