The end is nigh… sky high. After AMITYVILLE APOCALYPSE and AMITYVILLE WASTELAND, we’re taking one more spin on the merry-go-round and creating a crazy conclusion to this series of spoofy horror movies.
In AMITYVILLE NECROPOLIS, Amityville comes to the big city! If muggings and depressing office jobs weren’t enough, now urbanites have to contend with horrors and hauntings that drive them to the brink of madness and beyond. If the evil spirits don’t kill you, the rent will!
The anthology will be comprised of short horror movies with an urban theme. That could mean high rise apartments, office workers, blue collar workers, white collar workers, technology, take-away food, serial killers, alleyways, boomboxes, anything! Just make it “urban” because we are moving on from the “suburban” AMITYVILLE stories.

1) We’re looking for 7-10 minute horror shorts with the urban theme.

A note on quality: while we have always offered a reasonable amount of wiggle room in our acceptance of shorts from non-professionals, we do wish to make it clear we are not seeking intentionally bad/boring movies or pointless time filler. We want to see effort put forth to show and tell an entertaining story. Your name will be attached to this forever! The better the results, the better you look, and the better we look – it’s win-win all around! We understand a zero-budget project like this carries limitations – but imagination and courage beat economics. Believe in yourself. We believe in you and want you to be part of this.
Make a short, gain a feature film credit. It’s a simple as that.
