Advanced Class > Writing Horror http://www.4screenwriters.com/horror_screenwriting.html This course is for intermediate to advanced screenwriters who have learned basic screenplay format. Students will learn all the aspects and elements of genre screenwriting and will be able to write a feature length Horror screenplay at the end of this course. In order to write about Horror, the student must first understand the basics of Human Nature when it comes to Horror or rather Fear. Horror shows people in decay, hideous, ridden with guilt by ghosts from the past, chased by monsters that are sometimes of their own making. We will first study the Nature of Fear and the introduction of Horror through History and Mythology of our Cultures. This will lead us into the age of Writing and then into Movies. Students will be able to study chosen films by the instructor and be able to talk about the essence of the Horror in the film. The instructor will identify the different types of Horror to help you understand the success of Horror films in the market today. Modern Horror films and their screenplays will be discussed as well as the Classics. Students will learn the difference between a true Horror film and the twenty gallons of red food dye films. Students will talk and describe what they fear most and how to use that feeling of fear to help their stories progress and have that fear transferred to the page. Certificate given to each graduate. Instructor: Professional Screenwriter, D. Martin Watson, who has his first film TENEBROUS due to be released by Spring 2008.
