Hi Everyone,
My name is Joy. As of now, I’ve written 5 screenplays. A TV pilot, the other my first short.
What I hope to get from the class is a better understanding of what goes into a horror script. I have a horror screenplay I wrote years ago and would love to finish it. I hope this class will help in doing that.-
Hi Joy,
It’s nice to meet you. How wonderful that you have so many completed works. (I’m new to this endeavor.) See you around the assignments!

1. My pseudonym is Carole Avila.
2. I haven’t written any scripts.
3. I hope to learn how to craft a chilling horror script geared toward middle schoolers.
4. Writing is my passion; I read Go, Dog. Go! when I was 3 years old and knew I’d be a writer. -
Hi everyone! My name is Adam. I have not yet written any scripts. I’m hoping to get a good understanding of how to structure a horror screenplay and complete a script. Something unusual about me is that I have completed the San Francisco marathon twice!

Hi Adam,
Congratulations on your marathon successes!

Hi Susannah,
That’s cool you’re so accomplished in script writing. Your eye injury sounds like a script. I’m sorry that happened and happy you are moving forward with your writing endeavors.

I have seven marketable features and five marketable pilots, the fifth just coming out of BWTV in about a month.
I writing a Christmas Horror in the Writing Incredible Movies class as my first horror project and I need to elevate my fear factor. I’ve written vampire films and pilots but no “terrifying” horror projects.
I’ve been retired for ten years and am working harder now than I did when I worked for “The Man.”-
Hi Bob,
You sound very busy for being retired! I’ve yet to write a script. Glad you’re in the class.

Hi, I’m Karen Crider. I am a lifelong writer, but for the last few years, I have dabbled in scripts and have finished seven. This would be my eighth. This my first encounter with horror, something that’s out of my comfort zone. I always choose to work on elevating my skills. So, it’s not unusual to find my tapping the keys at three in the morning.

Time Winters is my name, sideways for Timothy. Written four scripts and some shorts. Interested in working on those stories and improving. I love the horror genre and am generally intimidated by the good ones. Been working endlessly on a long form novel about actor Boris (Frankenstein’s Creature) Karloff. Hope to learn.

Hi. I’m Jessica Tremblay
I finished one horror feature script that I’ll be workshopping during this class (and the Professional Rewrite class) and I’m currently developping four other scripts, all in the horror genre.
I’m hoping to gain insights on how to make my horror scripts even more terrifying.
I came through screenwriting because of haiku! At a haiku conference, someone mentions they’d read a film script and it read a bit like a haiku (visual writing, lots of white on the page). The script was Alien. I read it, and fell in love with screenwriting. -
Hi, everyone. My name is Leslie and I’ve been writing professionally since 1999, almost exclusively in kids animation. I’ve also written a handful of feature scripts between breaks in my TV writing.
I’m taking this class to increase my knowledge of horror writing and hopefully elevate the quality of my horror scripts.
Something unique or unusual about me? Well, despite my name, I’m a guy. Alas, I don’t think there’s anything unique about me whatsoever. I’m pretty boring, except when I slip into a sequined cocktail dress and turn into the fabulous Chiquita Papaya! -
Leslie, you and I have common ground in writing for kids, I just finished a new picture book about a girl who has to wear glasses. They are gosh-awful ugly and add five pounds to her thirty-seven pound weight. But I added a new twist to it and lent it some uniqueness. Good luck with the course, but most of all have fun…

Greetings! My name is Anne Denise, but I go by AnDe. I’ve completed two screenplays, and have several more still “in progress” all in the horror/thriller/suspense genre exploring underlying feminist/social themes. In addition to improving my screenplays (current and future), I am thinking about converting one or more into book form and think this class will be helpful in “fleshing them out” for books. Unusual fact: I’m a recovering geophysicist who previously worked on projects from above the Canadian arctic circle to the extreme tip of South America.
