Today we have a special guest post by Tyler Weaver on horror that inspired him, from Universal and Hammer Horror!
It takes strong tenacity and an unwillingness to quit, but it can happen. It wasn’t so long ago that I was just another face in the crowd of horror fans. Then I crossed the line into writing horror, then filming it. It’s a thin line that’s easy to cross, but it takes courage.
It’s been an incredible and nailbiting last 48 hours. We’ve seen a massive jump in backers for Veronica’s Haunt, to the point now that we’re over the halfway mark.
Biographizing characters is often overlooked by the novice screenwriter, and shouldn’t be.
Within 48 hours we’ve received $205 in donations for Veronica’s Haunt. It’s amazed me how fast people have responded to this crowdfunding experiment.
This Wednesday will be the last ScreenTalk of 2009. My co-host wanted to do a special devoted to horror and my book.
A few weeks ago I was asked to do a photo shoot as well as take some footage for a commercial for the book. This was all an experiment by my publisher, Michael Wiese Productions. An experiment in terror, in fear, in…seeing how far and wide this new-fangled Internets thingy could take a trailer/commercial for a book.
Horror Screenwriting is now available through Michael Wiese, my publisher. You can order it for a short time for 25% off the list price.
