Giving independent horror the spotlight it deserves

Marketing Macabre is dedicated to bridging the gap between independent horror creators and the world’s most devoted fan base through affordable, high-impact publicity. The mission is to dismantle the barriers of traditional PR by providing indie filmmakers with direct access to a premier network of global genre outlets, ensuring every project—regardless of budget—gains the momentum and visibility it deserves.

The company empowers the horror community by offering scalable, transparent promotional packages that turn creative visions into recognized genre staples. By leveraging deep-rooted industry partnerships, it serves as the strategic megaphone for the next generation of horror, placing independent art directly in front of the audience that craves it most.

Born from passion for indie genre cinema

Marketing Macabre was founded on a simple conviction: indie horror creators deserve the exact same fighting chance as major studio productions. Horror enthusiasts are the most devoted fan base in entertainment, yet independent projects often struggle to cut through the noise. We craft tactical press releases and targeted campaigns designed to capture immediate attention and build genuine momentum for your film.

Talking Horror In The Mainstream News 

As a highly respected voice in the horror industry, Michael Joy—the prominent manager of HorrorNews.net—has frequently shared his deep expertise on the genre across mainstream platforms.

In November 2015, he appeared on a special FOX News segment broadcast by FOX 5 New York, where he was interviewed by anchor Chris Sobel. The piece, titled "Laughing at Death, Murder in Horror-Comedies," featured Joy analyzing the creative blend of humor and gore in the genre, focusing specifically on the then-new television series Scream Queens as well as classics like The Evil Dead.
