Backstreet Boy, Nick Carter wants to make a Horror Movie

Yes that's right, Nick Carter of Backstreet Boys fame is wants to make a horror film. Who would have thought? Although....The music video for "Everybody (Backstreet's Back)" could have been some indication. The singer is looking to make another long time dream of his come true by turning to horror fans and BSB fans to help fund his movie Evil Blessings using Indiegogo.com for the amount of $85,000. Indie Go Go is a fan supported fund raising site a lot like Kickstarter, The difference is with Indie Go Go, artists keep all the money they raise even if they don't hit their goal. If they dont hit their goal Indie Go Go will take 9% of the projects earnings, if the project is successfully funded they only take 4%.

According to the Indie Go Go project along with singing Nick has a love for screenwriting. "Hi, I'm Nick Carter from the Backstreet Boys. Most of you already know that I'm passionate about music, but what you don't know, is that I'm a HUGE horror fan as well.  To that end, I'm about to start down the path of my other dream: to become a film producer and screenwriter. And my first venture is to produce a horror film I also co-wrote and star in called 'EVIL BLESSINGS'.

The reason I'm looking to crowd fund this film is because it not only helps me to gauge interest in this project, but it gives my fans out there an opportunity to get access to what I'm doing that I wouldn't be able to offer elsewhere. Having seen what a great community there is on Indiegogo supporting each other to make passion projects happen, this feels like the best way to do it."

Pretty wild stuff! Nick also states that he is matching whatever dollar amount is raised to ensure the film is successfully completed. With a goal of $85,000 that would not be a small chunk of change. If the project is successfully funded at $85,000 bucks, and Nick's additional contribution that would put the films budget at $170,000. Which is not bad for an indie project.

I for one am interested in seeing how this develops. As of right now the project has currently raised $45,457. View the projects video below. Click the link here for more information on Evil Blessing.
