Let’s dive into crafting the most frightening thrills and chills on the page.
As Austin’s favorite author and filmmaker Owen Egerton likes to say, a horror movie is any movie that makes the viewer feel unsafe—typically because the rules of the natural order have been inverted and we don’t know what’s going to happen next! In this class, we’ll study three horror films representing three popular horror subgenres (haunted houses, haunted bodies, and haunted babies) and the books they were based on to understand the primary elements of horror writing. How do you build suspense/tension in a paragraph? What does a cinematic jump scare look like on the page? How can we mime our own nightmares for stories?
TAKE THIS CLASS IF
- You’re writing a horror novel or scary short stories.
- You want to include a “scary scene” in any other type of fiction.
- You’re curious about what it takes to scare people.
The deadline to register for this class is Friday, October 22 at 5:00 PM CDT.
