Harry Coumnas’ Horror Movies Are Inspired By His Real Life Experiences

Harry Coumnas is a renowned filmmaker known for reinventing the horror genre through his spine-chilling movies. At the age of only twenty-three years, he has a number of horror documentaries to his name. In a recent interview to a popular news channel, Harry shared that it his own personal encounters with ghosts that inspired him to make movies on them. The first time he saw a ghost was when he was merely eight years old.

One experience with a ghost that changed Harry Coumnas’ life forever happened back in 2012 when he was in his final year of a film making course. One night, he came across a ghost of an aspiring movie director who was killed by his step mother when he was nineteen. The ghost’s motive wasn’t to scare Harry, but he asked him to make a documentary based on his life. Harry, at that time was so frightened that he could not think of refusing anything that the ghost demanded. Later, he got to know that he was the only student in the final year that chose to work on a horror documentary. His friends were surprised to know about his choice this since they were well aware of how much he feared ghosts.

Harry Coumnas also told the interviewer that the ghost of that aspiring movie director remained present throughout the shoots and gave his view on every scene. It took Harry five months to complete the documentary; but all the hard work paid off when it won the best short film award in the college. It was during the making of this film that he developed an interest in the horror genre and decided to continue making more such horror movies in the future.
