How to Write a Unique, Commercial Horror Script

4 part class taught by Stuart Arbury, Director of Development at Captivate Entertainment (Universal)!
AVAILABLE ON DEMAND!

The number one genre we hear most executives look for is horror. Horror written in any language can be easily enjoyed by any viewer from around the world. It's the most universally acceptable genre out there, and it's where filmmakers go to cut their teeth (Sam Raimi, James Gunn, Oliver Stone, Peter Jackson, Francis Ford Coppola, James Cameron, Zack Snyder, and Steven Spielberg all started in the horror genre). But writing a fresh, commercial, scary horror is getting harder as executives continue to see familiar tropes and generic set pieces. What a writer sees as a fresh idea, is one that an executive has probably seen in some variation many times over.

Stage 32 Happy Writers is excited to bring you the previously-recorded 4 part class: How to Write a Unique, Commercial Horror Script taught by Stuart Arbury, Director of Development at Captivate Entertainment (Universal). From choosing a concept to picking an antagonist, from strengthening the emotional crescendo to amping up the scares in your project – Stuart covers all in this 4 part intensive class.  

**Plus! You'll get a copy of the HALLOWEEN script in your resources!

Purchasing gives you access to the previously-recorded live class.
Although Stuart is no longer handing out or reviewing the assignments, we still encourage all creatives to participate.
