Zombie, who has directed films including The Devil's Rejects, The Lords Of Salem and two Halloween movies, says: "People have come up to me over the years and asked, 'How can I get these props?' 'How can I come to the set?'

"I realised a crowdfunding campaign is not a guy on a street corner with a hat asking for money. I've noticed with all the movies I've made, so many people get tattoos of the film. When you love something so much, you just want to be part of it - and now you can."
