Peter Vogl it is not a classic of the genre. To find “Psycho” and “Halloween” there are no entries in “The big book of little Horrors”. The film journalist employs in his brand-new book that comes suitable to Halloween in the stores, rather with movies with titles like “Attack of the Killer Donuts”, “Demonic Toys”, a series of stripes, the “Puppetmaster”, or, quite harmless “Annabelle”.

Unrestrained love for the (Horror)movie

If you are not in the know, they are probably not to a very specific group of horror film lovers, to Vogl in his encyclopedia, and for whose characterization he has in the cult American film Director Quentin Tarantino. Tarantino had said, so Peter Vogl, the following: “There are two kinds of people: Those who love movies and those who love only the movies that you love.” (“people who love movies and people who only love the movies they love”).

Fear on the canvas (here: “Martyrs”, France/Canada, 2008) also generates fear in front of the screen

“The tiny horrors are logically meant to be way more for the first group of real enthusiasts,” explains Vogl, Fans of “true” horror film. And who now, what’s that ‘tiny horror’, the Vogl explains: “The Big Book of Tiny Horror a encyclopedia about all the horror films in which toys, dolls, and other little creatures want to the leather is ask.”

This is, of course, no pleasure, not should it be but even. The movies are still popular. Above all, they were in the 1980s and 1990s, when video stores had their big time and many of these cheaply produced horror flicks came out in the shops away from the regular cinema is in operation.

Peter Vogl: “soul-consuming bad movies”

Vogl describes the “martyrdom” during the Writing of his book: “The films are often funny, often boring, always weird, and sometimes disgusting, perverted, banal, inspiring … and many of them can also be unbearably frustrating, and in some cases even almost soul-consuming bad. Almost no one, even among genre film fans – is doing this voluntarily and regularly so a scrap.”

The Examine of scrap so it can be very instructive. Sometimes it can be Yes, in addition to works of film history, Sub-Genres, B – and C-movies a lot. Let’s look at why young people, mostly there are boys of a certain age, these movies? Why has looked at Peter Vogl all of these movies? “I’m doing this because it make you experience and can see things, which you do not want to offer the often shallow main stream productions.”

The Mainstream avoids creativity

A huge Budget guarantee is almost always a high Level of technical quality, says Vogl, mean but also a high risk: “The big film studios are not in vain, for your risk unfreudigkeit known to be failed so better and different. Creativity can not be bought, and often something just because of the low Budgets and the restrictions associated with something Special.”
