TESTIMONIALS
Tony Timpone - former editor, FANGORIA; co-producer, THORNS; executive producer, SPOOKTACULAR!
If you are an independent horror filmmaker, then Michael Joy and his Marketing Macabre company should be your first stop in getting the word out on your movie. Marketing Macabre knows how to reach the fans from the grass roots to the multiplex to your home theater. He has worked his bloody magic for me many times.
Tim Gough - MurderCo.
I'm overflowing with gratitude as I reflect on the incredible journey, I've undertaken with Marketing Macabre. MurderCo's evolution from a mere concept to a thriving horror brand with a unique identity, couldn't have been accomplished without his assistance.
The impact has been extraordinary – our collaboration with Marketing Macabre has not only established our standing in the horror genre but has propelled MurderCo to new heights of recognition. Marketing Macabre has opened doors to markets we never thought possible, introducing my brand to diverse audiences.
What's truly astonishing is the wealth of opportunities that have unfolded, thanks to the innovative approaches and tireless efforts of the Marketing Macabre team. Together, we've ventured into uncharted territories, uncovering possibilities beyond my wildest imagination.
A sincere thank you to Michael Joy and Marketing Macabre for your dedication, creativity, and relentless commitment. Your contribution has been nothing short of exceptional.
David Gere - Producer, Woodhaven Media:
Michael Joy has the ability to help launch an enhanced marketing scope for a company by utilizing his tireless focus and passion for the entertainment industry. Michael has a lifetime of knowledge with regard to horror films, pop culture, music, pro wrestling and the like. Michael Joy has mastered a way to create authentic and unique buzz on social media platforms and has enhanced my company's profile.
Mark Ricche - CEO of Cryptic Pictures Distribution:
For years my company struggled to build connections within the horror industry, seeking out and establishing relationships with other horror filmmakers, horror websites, bloggers, podcasters and the like. We even halted our film's release for three years until we knew we had a fan base established through these various outlets. And then along came Marketing Macabre. Mike Joy and his team at HorrorNews.net had been doing the same thing, but for a lot longer and with greater reach. So when we decided to employ MM's services, we were slightly skeptical it may be repetitive and overlap with our own marketing campaign. To the contrary, utilizing Marketing Macabre extended our reach into the horror community and to some very helpful and competent folks, I might add. From the minute our press release went out, social media posts, website posts, and blog mentions began pouring in along with a substantial request for screeners. Some of our best reviews came from MM contributors. Marketing Macabre was our unexpected goldmine-find of the year. If you want to reach the horror crowd, there is no better answer. Hell, there is no other answer! They've cornered the market!
Austin Idol - Professional Wrestling Legend:
Michael Joy is one talented fella who I have the privilege of calling friend. Michael is incredibly creative, honest, hardworking, and doesn't know the word quit. I would highly recommend Michael to any company large or small who needs assistance in social media or marketing.
Jeff Payne - Filmmaker (Fan Film: Michael Myers vs Jason Voorhees):
Michael Joy is an absolute blast to work with. When we struck a deal, he was IMMEDIATE. This doesn't happen in the real world too often. He was very prompt and informative on anything I asked him. Give this man a call.
Dawna Lee Heising, CEO Eye of Excellent Productions
I do my best to promote the films that I act in and Michael Joy and his publicity services have been instrumental in helping me to accomplish that goal! His news and publicity articles are always well-written and feature as many videos and pictures as I want. His Horrornews.net stories also appear on IMDb, which is a great added bonus! I highly recommend using Marketing Macabre for promoting your films and projects!
Tommy DeNucci, President, Woodhaven Media:
In a short period of time, Michael was able to diagnostically break down how we were handling online promotions, implement some new tactics and quickly increase our social media presence, with creative posts and constant, quality content.
Santos Ellin Jr. - Film Critic, Horrornews.net & Gruesome Magazine:
Michael Joy is one of the most savvy people I've ever met in the business. He is detail oriented, quick to lend a hand if asked (& even if you don't ask he's there to help) and most of all efficient. He has been there for me as I slowly became acclimated to a new job title at HNN and would be nothing but a prized asset wherever he decided to hang his hat. There are few better at doing what he does.
Mike Bohatch - Owner & CEO, Horrornews.net :
I've had the fine pleasure of working with Michael Joy for many years. His commitment, efforts and dedication are second to none. Michael jumps right in and seizes every project like a pro making him not only a great working asset but a top contributor to the bottom line of an organization's success. If you are considering Michael for project or position, you should be thankful you've found him.
Ray Murray - President, Artsploitation Films
I have known Michael Joy for many years, initially as when he was Operations Manager of HorrorNews.Net then about 4 years ago when I hired him as Director of Marketing for Artsploitation Films. Artsploitation Films is a film releasing company that acquires features for in the United States and Canada and releases then on DVD and Video-On-Demand. As Director of Marketing, Michael handled all aspects of a film's publicity, marketing, and social media campaigns. This includes managing our Twitter and Facebook accounts as well as our website. He also screened potential acquisitions and was contact person for the talent with each film. It was an absolute pleasure working with Michael and I highly recommend him for anything to do with film releasing. He was dependable, thorough and project-driven leader.
