Network and work within the horror industry using H.O.W.L.

Last Updated on July 23, 2021

A new resource that will break aspiring filmmakers into the filmmaking industry? This is gonna turn heads. There’s a new online database that borrows similarities from Craigslist and many other networking sites with a sweet twist. This database is not a matchmaking site, doesn’t deal with trading goods and won’t unleash various amounts of viruses from softcore porn onto your hard-drive. This site is all about the horror industry and it’s designed to help you break into it.

It’s called H.O.W.L (Horror Online Work Listings) and it was made with the intention to gather filmmakers, techies, actors, writers, game developers and anyone else with some to minimal background experience in horror and catalog them in a networking intended database. You could even find nearby projects who are looking for your kind of experience. Pretty nifty eh? There’s a membership fee but I figure a couple of souls out there wouldn’t paying the extra dime to get that foot into the door. 

It this was your chance, wouldn’t you? Check out the press release:

In an attempt to further communication between all fields, levels and regions of the Horror film and gaming industry an online workers’ resource has been established.

H.O.W.L. (Horror Online Work Listings) has been developed as a go-to site for members to list their various talents and interests in the hopes of finding further work in the horror film and gaming industry.

“One of the primary goals of H.O.W.L. is to streamline communication between directors, producers, crew members and talent as they’re building their various projects,” says Geoff Hoff, co-founder and webmaster of H.O.W.L. “Let’s say, someone in the middle of Iowa wants to make a Horror film but they don’t have any contacts. Through H.O.W.L. they could access talent in their region that they might not have known about otherwise. That’s the goal, anyway.”

Filmmakers list themselves in however many categories and whichever region they choose and can post whatever information is appropriate. They can upload up to 4 pictures and include links to reels, other networking sites, personal websites, etc.
