Elliot Passantino's History of Horror Films

After experiencing homelessness and great adversity pursuing his filmmaker dreams, author screenwriter and filmmaker realized horror films always guided him through the tough times of his life. From Bela Lugosi and Boris Karloff being the "friends" guiding him through a traumatic childhood to horror films of the 70s and 80s being therapy during his parents divorce in college, horror films always inspired and helped him survive life and the film business. Thus in 2012 his horror historian decided to turn all his passion and knowledge into a multi media lecture, thus boring Elliot Passantino’s History of Horror lecture series. Between roles in indie films, big budget movies and TV shows, Elliot’s lecture took him to libraries and museum in NJ Brooklyn and Albany over the next ten years. In the meantime his lecture inspired two Slamdance winning scripts and a series of films Elliot produced directed edited and starred in. After years of lecturing , in 2017 Elliot began turning his lecture into a biblical overview of the history of horror films.
