they find ways of circumventing budget limitations

The best known way is to arrange to have an outstanding director and great actors who don't cost a fortune to employ.

Children Shouldn't Play With Dead Things clearly had a microbudget, and they did SFA to circumvent it. Even so, I consider it some kind of masterpiece, though I doubt many would agree with me (perhaps I should say masterpieces, as a totality it was more of an interesting failure). I think it worked, because the plot was about a deranged wannabe film director and his little troupe of wannabe film stars, whose dabbling in necromancy goes horribly wrong.

Just looked it up. I'd been confusing it with Who Can Kill a Child? which I wouldn't classify as a masterpiece by any stretch of the imagination. I've not seen it - I'll give it a look.

And a couple of reels of rushes from an unfinished Karloff movie...

And string. Lots of string and Gaffer tape.

Make no mistake, the first half is in the 'so bad it's good' genre, then quite unexpectedly turns believable (beer goggles recommended).
