Variety "When it comes to locations and sets, horror movies have their own special requirements. The genre can invoke dread with every unopened closet, spiraling staircase, creaking door, cobwebbed attic and menacing facade. But as Stephenson Crossley, a location manager on AMC’s “Fear the Walking Dead,” which began season three on June 4, points out, there’s more to a good horror house than just the aesthetics or the architecture. “You look for things that have a sense of isolation,” says Crossley, who also scouted locations on 2014’s “Paranormal Activity: The Marked Ones.” “Very often I pick things that are up on a hill, or some kind of rise, so you can look up at the property from a low angle. That gives things a spooky, foreboding quality. Sometimes it’s really that simple... ...The real job of the location manager on a horror picture is to find places that, in their unique way, will unsettle and disturb, Neale says. “A location manager is like a casting agent for places. You’re casting the location. Just like you cast the craggy face of an actor, you cast the craggy face of a house or hospital. That’s the fun and creative part of the job.”...” link
