THREE
DECADES OF HOLLYWOOD HORROR STORIES FROM
THE WRITER WHO WROTE THEM
 Because
horror movies have often proven to be
more likely to make money than most other
genres, they can be an express lane for
up and coming writers and filmmakers to
break into the business.
Producer/Director/Screenwriter, Gary
Sherman, knows how to
scare people. He's been doing it for over
3 decades with films such as 'Death
Line', 'Dead & Buried,'
and 'Poltergeist III,' as well
as TV series such as 'Poltergeist:
The Legacy' and made-for-TV thrillers
including 'The Glow.'
Join
us this Nov. 1 as Gary
talks to us about his most recent experiment
in terror, '39 – A film by Carroll
McKane' and how to write a screenplay
that leaps off the page and scares the
crap out of the reader.
Other topics discussed:
* How to create original scares
* What do readers and producers look for?
* Are there horror rules?
* What horror stories work and why?
* How to keep a horror film contained
and low-budget
