How to Write a Horror Movie is a close look at an always-popular
(but often disrespected) genre. It focuses on the screenplay and
acts as a guide to bringing scary ideas to cinematic life using
examples from great (and some not-so-great) horror movies. Author
Neal Bell examines how the basic tools of the scriptwriter's trade
- including structure, dialogue, humor, mood, characters, and pace
- can work together to embody personal fears that will resonate
strongly on screen. Screenplay examples include classic works such
as 1943's I Walked With A Zombie and recent terrifying films that
have given the genre renewed attention like writer/director Jordan
Peele's critically acclaimed and financially successful Get Out.
Since fear is universal, the book considers films from around the
world including the 'found-footage' [REC] from Spain (2007), the
Swedish vampire movie, Let The Right One In (2008) and the
Persian-language film Under The Shadow (2016). The book provides
insights into the economics of horror-movie making, and the
possible future of this versatile genre. It is the ideal text for
screenwriting students exploring genre and horror, and aspiring
scriptwriters who have an interest in horror screenplays.
