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 and how you can subvert expectations and tropes to create something new and exciting.

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

Nick is a writer, director and producer whose horror feature, MARGAUX, was released last 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 actually writing your 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 have two one-on-one sessions with your instructor and weekly assignments to guarantee that you’re always progressing with your screenplay while being vetted by a professional screenwriter. You'll be held accountable on your progress and workshop your script 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.
