Shawn Hunt grew up in the suburbs of Charlotte, North Carolina, making many backyard productions with his father's camcorder. By the late 90s, filmmakers like John Carpenter and George Romero served as his inspiration to go out and make his own brand of low budget independent horror films. In 2002 he and friend David Passine created Funhouse Pictures, a production company devoted to making horror films in the Carolinas.
