HOW TO WRITE A SLASHER MOVIE
On Friday the 13th, join veteran horror screenwriter Conor Kyle for a deep dive into the craft of writing slasher films. Through analysis of this sub-genre's story structure and audience expectations, students will explore how to create iconic slasher villains, develop suspenseful pacing, and design inventive, visceral kill sequences. Learn techniques for escalating stakes, subverting genre tropes, and using tension to heighten fear. We will also discuss character development in horror, the psychology of terror, and how to invoke a chilling mood and atmosphere. Beginners and experienced horror writers welcome!
