Work one-on-one and workshop your horror feature script with a professional screenwriter who wrote and produced the upcoming film MARGAUX with Paramount Pictures.

Are you ready to write your horror feature screenplay? 

Horror films have a track record of doing well with audiences across all demographics, as these films tap into our greatest fears, wants, needs, psychosis, and primal instincts while hitting us with a dose of adrenaline. Horror is viewed as a great bet by many producers and studios when greenlighting a project… and for good reason! NOPE, SCREAM, PARANORMAL ACTIVITY, and so many more have generated massive returns…

With multiple subgenres under the horror umbrella, it is important to understand YOUR voice in the genre and how you can use your voice to subvert expectations and tropes to create something new and exciting.

Throughout this exclusive Stage 32 eight-week intensive lab, you will write your own horror film, chosen from three pitches submitted to your host, Nick Waters, and you will learn how to market your finished screenplay.

Nick is a director, writer, and producer with the horror feature he wrote and produced, MARGAUX, is being released this year from Paramount Pictures starring Madison Pettis and Vanessa Morgan. He also directed and produced the documentary WHEN WE DANCE.

You’ll cover everything in this lab from crafting a horror feature script with outlines, structure, and dialogue to best positioning your script in the marketplace with loglines, pitch decks, one-pagers, and commercial viability.

You’ll also have two one-on-one sessions with your instructor and weekly assignments to guarantee that you’re always progressing with your screenplay vetted by a professional screenwriter. You'll also workshop your progress and your fellow classmates' work in class as you build relationships with other passionate writers.

A lifelong horror fanatic, Nick can’t wait to help you develop and write your horror script.

You will walk away from the lab with a completed screenplay for a horror feature film and know how to best market your story to the producers and production companies clamoring for new material.
