Try the above links for starters.
Your questions are a tad general as there's quite a bit to learn about
film in general and working in the horror genre in particular.
If your just starting out and on a tight budget go with an inexpensive
minidv camera.(single chip for starters as your initial efforts will
likely be rough.)
Every so often someone who has a site devoted to indie horror posts on
this group, someone else here might still have the url and be willling
to post it for you.
Fake blood is easy Karo syrup with lots of red food dye.
Try your local costume shop for makeup for scars,cuts, slashes
etc...(can also be gotten around halloween time at your local
department store.)
If you are mechanically able or know someone who is you can make most
of the hardware you'll need. Lights, mike booms etc...
Just ask here, most of us make much of our own equipment and
everyone's got tips on how they did it.
