Low-Budget Atmospheric Slasher Short

I’m putting together a unique slasher-style horror short for my YouTube channel and need a creative partner who can squeeze maximum tension out of a shoestring budget. The entire film is set inside an abandoned location and must lean into a dark, almost suffocating atmosphere rather than just splatter. Here’s what I’m after: • A tight script (roughly 5–8 minutes) built around one or two characters, a lone killer, and clever environmental scares that make full use of the derelict setting. • A concise storyboard or shot list that shows how we’ll capture mood with lighting, shadows, and sound design instead of expensive effects. • Practical tips on economical props, simple yet effective makeup for the killer, and any creative camera tricks that heighten dread without inflating costs. • Clear production notes I can hand to a micro-crew—camera settings, preferred lenses, suggested atmospheric sound beds, and a basic post-production plan. I’ll handle casting, location access, and final editing; what I need from you is the blueprint that turns these constraints into an advantage. If slasher mythology, abandoned places, and brooding ambience sound like your playground, let’s talk.
