With halloween around the corner, horror is
in the air! Horror has been one of the staples of film ever since the medium
was invented. Perhaps that’s because the genre taps into our most primal
fears—isolation, the unknown, and death—in a visual, visceral way. But at the
same time that we’re frightened out of our wits, we are granted the safety
and protection of the theater. It’s the best of all possible worlds.
This genre is truly a writer’s medium: If you can present a new version of an
old concept and scare us on the page, your script can sell. Plus, there is
always room for innovation and creativity within the field. That’s why horror
is a natural choice for many a screenwriter.
