Three men from Greece have a common obsession with horror movies.

Mike Sudore, Lou Carrozziere and Laurence Genovese have worked together for years to refine their talents as filmmakers. Now they make their own horror movies.

They call themselves Omni Entertainment. Their unique brand of horror film is produced in their spare time and can take years to finish. Many of the scenes are shot in Carrozziere’s suburban Greece home. Its simple facade masks the horror film delights inside.

The three friends insist they’re at the top of their game, that they're filling a need, and that they can scare you in ways you never thought possible.

Sudore, a disabled US Veteran, is the writer. "It all started a long time ago when I wanted to become an actor. I couldn't find an agent so I started writing my own stories."

Carrozziere, a first assistant at a national movie theater chain, creates the special effects. "It started when I was eleven years old. I started sculpting with all different materials and crafted my craft to where I'm close to Hollywood quality now."

Genovese, a audio/video technician, is the photographer and editor. "At a very young age, I want to say 10 or 11, I got my first computer and I thought it was the greatest thing in the world."

All three agree that horror movies are an escape. Sudore adds, “If they're scared they're worried about nothing else but being scared."

You can see some of Omni Entertainments horror films at the Little Theatres 24-hour Horror Film Festival on Saturday, October 30. For more information on Omni Entertainment or the film festival follow the links below.
