The Horror Report
To ensure The Horror Report is accessible to everyone, it is being offered on a ‘Pay What You Can’ model. If you’re a struggling filmmaker, then just pay £1.
If you can offer more than the minimum, then please do so.

This report is an experiment to see if I can sustainably produce content like this on a regular basis. If every single person only pays £1 then maybe I can’t.
But if some people give a little more, then maybe I can write more using this distribution model. Let’s see!
Individual Use
Buying the report this way only allows for individual use by the person who purchased it. You may not pass it on to others (either for free or for money), use any part in other works nor publish any part of it. If you require additional usage, please contact me and I’m sure we can figure something out.
Not Advice
Whilst I have done my best to ensure that the report is up-to-date and accurate, the information it contains is not advice, and should not be treated as such. You must not rely on the report as an alternative to legal, accountancy or other advice from an appropriately qualified professional.
EU VAT
If you are in the EU then VAT will automatically be calculated due to EU rules on electronic supplied products. Fear not, the VAT it will come out of my share, and the amount you choose will be the final total. If you need a VAT invoice then look for the link at the bottom of the confirmation email.
