Returning to Our Indie Filmmaking Roots: Why We’re Excited to Make “Horror Movie Horror” for YouTube
After a few years of playing in the big leagues—where there’s a committee for everything, from choosing the color of a doorknob to deciding how many times a character should blink—we’ve decided it’s time to return to our indie filmmaking roots and make a horror movie specifically for Youtube. We’re back to doing what we love most: being completely and utterly in charge. And honestly, we’ve missed it.
1. Why We Chose “Horror Movie Horror”
Our latest project, Horror Movie Horror, isn’t just a movie title; it’s a manifesto, a rallying cry, and—let’s be honest—one of the most searched terms in the world. Call it strategy, call it a stroke of genius, or just call it what it is: a shameless ploy to get people to watch our movie on YouTube.
Naming our movie Horror Movie Horror might sound like we got lazy and just slapped the first words that came to mind on a poster, but there’s a method to our madness. We didn’t spend hours on brainstorming sessions only to come up with something clever and obscure that no one would ever search for online. No, we went straight to the heart of what people are actually typing into Google, and voilà: Horror Movie Horror was born. It’s a title that’s not just on the nose—it’s practically crawling up your nostrils. Ten million unique searches a month and no one’s ever used it before. Fifteen years ago when we first started out, choosing a title based on it’s SEO potential would have made us gag. Now? BRING IT ON!
But here’s the thing: we’re not just trying to game the system. We’re genuinely excited about this project, and about the freedom that comes with it. After years of jumping through hoops and getting approval from people who’d never seen a horror movie in their lives, we’re finally back where we belong—calling the shots and making the rules.
2. Taking Back Control
There’s something deeply satisfying about being the one in charge, especially when you’re making a horror movie. It’s not just about deciding how much fake blood is too much (trick question: there’s no such thing as too much). It’s about reclaiming the creative freedom that got us into filmmaking in the first place. As two sisters who’ve always loved scaring people (and each other), we’re excited to take the reins on this project, to craft something that’s 100% us.
Releasing Horror Movie Horror directly on YouTube is a big part of that freedom. No more waiting for someone else’s green light, no more endless meetings where “notes” are just a polite way of saying “do it differently.” We’re posting this movie straight to YouTube, where we can share it with the world without anyone else’s approval. And the best part? We’re the only ones who can tell ourselves “no”—and we don’t plan on doing that.
3. Embracing the Indie Spirit
Returning to our indie roots feels like slipping into a pair of well-worn shoes—comfortable, familiar, and maybe a little scuffed, but perfect for the journey ahead. We’ve spent the last few years working on bigger projects with bigger budgets, and while that’s been educational (in the way that falling off a bike repeatedly is educational), we’re ready to get back to the kind of filmmaking that made us fall in love with this craft in the first place.
There’s something invigorating about indie filmmaking—about knowing that if something goes wrong, it’s on us to fix it. There’s no safety net, no backup plan. Just us, our cameras, and whatever we can scrounge together to make it all work. And that’s exactly how we like it.
4. The Thrill of the Unknown
What’s more exciting than making a horror movie? Making a horror movie and then releasing it into the wilds of YouTube, where anything could happen. We’re not just filmmakers anymore; we’re digital strategists, SEO experts, and maybe just a little bit insane. But that’s the fun of it, isn’t it? We’re stepping into a world where the only rules are the ones we make up as we go along, and we’re loving every minute of it.
So here we are, two sisters, ready to embrace the chaos, the creativity, and the sheer unpredictability of indie filmmaking once again. Horror Movie Horror is our return to form, and we can’t wait to share it with you.
If we could ask you one favor? Subscribe to our YouTube channel. This thing isn’t going to be ready to release until October 2025 at the earliest and it would be AMAZING if we already had the 1000 subscribers we need to host a YouTube live to celebrate the premiere. Currently we have 2. 2 Subscribers. That’s right. Only 998 to go! We’ve also got an Instagram and TikTok you can check out too. But really, the big one is YouTube.
