OK, so this is admittedly a bit of a strange post. But I once had a huge fascination with horror films and the special effects that go into making them. In fact, it's really not such a leap to think of a horror movie with lots of special effects in terms of a technical production like, say, a computer book. Seriously. A lot of the same creative ingenuity has to be tapped to pull off what seems impossible under difficult time and budgetary constraints. Mr. Romero is a master, and in this interview he discusses why he chose to shoot his latest film, "Diary of the Dead," on such a small budget ($2.5M).
