I maintain it might be more legitimately interesting to do a documentary about the making of a movie like Witchcraft X than some Hollywood films.
There is so much about this weird no budget schlockfest that I'd love to know:
Were there multiple takes and it just doesn't look like it/seem like it? Where did the director find these actors? How is it possible he didn't get even ONE person who could act, didn't they scout from at least theater troops? Did the returning actress Stephanie Beaton get a pay bump for being in a sequel? For that matter, did anyone make ANY money from this? Could they not afford to get any of the women to show their breasts or did they not want to? How is it possible that there are 16 Witchcraft movies - didn't the original creator have to be compensated for building onto their idea?
To see how they found the $16,300 budget, to see the filming locations and to watch the setups. To know the ins and outs on a film like this would be very interesting. If you like to listen to podcasts, check out I Was There Too, about small parts in big movies. Often the other stories, the ones we don't know about are very interesting.
16 official entries into the Witchcraft film series makes it one of the largest horror entries of all time. I sorta would love to watch all of these.
