Description

How to Write a Horror Movie by Routledge is a comprehensive guide to mastering the horror genre through screenwriting. Author Neal Bell examines the essential tools of scriptwriting-structure, dialogue, humour, mood, characters, and pace-and shows how these elements combine to translate personal fears into compelling cinematic experiences. Drawing on examples from classic horror films like 1943's I Walked With A Zombie through to contemporary terrifying works, this book reveals the techniques behind effective horror screenplays. Whether you're crafting psychological scares or visceral thrills, this guide demonstrates how professional writers build tension, develop memorable characters, and maintain audience engagement throughout a horror narrative.
