I’ve been a fan of the horror genre ever since I was a child myself. Casper meets Wendy is still one of my favorite films to this day, and although it doesn’t really count as a horror film, it’s still a highly entertaining ghost vs. witches film. It’s interesting how the genre always uses children to generate fear in adults, but they can’t watch half the things they’re part of. Goosebumps is a great example of a good children’s horror that can be enjoyed by both children and adults alike. It’s got the thrill without all the gore and violence that the genre has come to be associated with today. Horror is a very creative and imaginative genre. There’s so much to be explored when it comes to instilling fear in people, but moreover, there’s so much that can be taught with these stories.

El Estudio and Morbido are launching The Latin House of Horror, a hugely ambitious feature film slate channelling the voices of a powerful new generation of genre directors – and indeed writers – emerging in Spain and, most especially, Latin America.
The slate is designed to supercharge genre production in Latin America, in ambition, profile and exports, just as Filmax’s Fantastic Factory did a generation ago in Spain, El Estudio producer Enrique López Lavigne told Variety.
Mexico’s Sula Films, headed by Mexican producer Alejandro Sugich (“Los Hermanos Salvador”), will also produce the series. Vicente Canales’ Film Factory Entertainment is handling world sales.
Announced at Cannes, the House’s first slate of six movies features established talent such as Adrián García Bogliano, a founding figure of modern Argentine scarefare, now based out of Mexico; and Isaac Ezban, who rapidly established a reputation for films wrapped in hauntingly surreal scenarios: Think “The Incident” and “The Similars.
