BONUS EP: Markiplier, M3GAN and the Scary-Smart Business of Horror

from Ankler Agenda · host TheAnkler.com

People still want to be scared out of their minds together, and Atomic Monster president Michael Clear, M3GAN writer Akela Cooper and YouTuber-turned-filmmaker Mark Fischbach (aka Markiplier) are all in the business of giving audiences those thrills. Their conversation, which was moderated by Like & Subscribe’s Natalie Jarvey on the Ankler’s Business of Media and Entertainment Stage at NAB Show in April, also highlights how horror is opening new doors into Hollywood. Fischbach details how fan demand helped boost his self-distributed film, Iron Lung, to $50 million at the global box office, while Clear points to more YouTube creators like Backrooms filmmaker Kane Parsons disrupting Hollywood's horror pipeline.
