I recently interviewed Horror Legend “Scream Queen” Barbara Crampton, where this exact topic came up. When I raised the question on the plan for letting the public know of upcoming movie releases, the answer I received back shocked me. Quite simply, the answer was “word of mouth.” Word of mouth advertising has always been one of the most reliable forms of advertising, which is why user reviews are so important, and why big companies make such a fuss about them. But still, it raises another question, is it enough?

For the time being, the answer to that question seems to be that it has to be enough. At least till a better option comes along.

In the last several weeks, I have come across some horror gems that, if it weren’t for me spending a significant amount of time browsing what’s available on a variety of streaming networks, I would never have found. That is just a plain and simple fact! Movies such as “Host,” “Welcome to Mercy,” and “The Devil’s Doorway,” to name a few that glaringly pop out at me.

Obviously, Hollywood hasn’t been able to figure this out yet, so I would love to hear everyone’s suggestions on correcting this.
