Horror Screenwriting : The Nature of Fear

Long a fan, and now a writer and producer of the genre (The Cursed and Sunnyland), as well as as a mentor for new and independent filmmakers, Watson leads budding horror screenwriters through some of the scarier parts of the trade. He begins with a review of the genre's history and nature, then discusses such matters as the nature of fear, preparing a zombie-fighting arsenal, laying down the scenes, writing screams, the life of a horror character, completing the first draft, and everything else.
