Answer 1

My movie would be a "Halloween"/"Friday the 13th" type about a stalker who escaped a mental asylum prowling the streets one night and killing random people for no reason at all while there are endless broadcasts about him on the news and his mother hunts him down to try and stop him. Like Average Joe said use creepy music that will build up an amazing amount of suspense and will have you humming it even after the movie.

And finally, use a twist ending where the killer is found by the police and is unmasked but there is a female face which would mean the escaped patient is still on the loose.

1.It's going to be a challenge without money. However you can try "alternate reality". Try to make the movie look like a fake documentary, a home movie, or something else.  

2.Try photoshop my friend! Here is an example of what photoshop can do: http://youtube.com/watch?v=K6WZ67_gAy4

Answer 3

The key for any low budget film is to make the audience use their imagination so try creating suspense .Put in a subtle but creepy background music, give small clue as to what can be around the corner but don't reveal the whole thing if you do, there will no longer be any secret. Do it until the end.

Answer 5

Good/Great horror is not "in your face horror" (action packed and very graphic in the violence or deaths).  

Great horror should be suspensful and leave the viewers mind to wonder exactly what happened.  You want to take the person on a roller coaster ride.  If you wanted to show them action after action then you should have just made an action film.
