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 scriptwriters 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 1943s I Walked With A Zombie and recent terrifying films that have given the genre renewed attention like writer/director Jordan Peeles 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.
