Advanced Screenwriting Mastery
Chapter One: Horror
Injecting thrills, chills, tension and dread into ANY screenplay... Dive into the abyss… Master the dark heart of the Horror Genre
How can the characters, story world, dramatic arc and commercial viability of YOUR current project be enhanced, by mastering the universally loved genre of Horror?
Even if you aren’t writing a horror script, a fundamental understanding of what frightens us, what grips audiences, what will make audiences rapt, will improve your writing and your career.
Deepening our understanding of the human need to playfully experience fear will help us craft more compelling work in all genres. Put simply, your script will be improved by leveraging the craft and art of the very best of horror writing. It’s one way we can all elevate our work beyond convention.
It’s not just about crossover genre too, like Comedy Horror for instance. It’s more about how we can utilise the horror genre techniques in other genres. So using horror techniques inside a drama or comedy without it becoming a comedy horror and horror drama. This workshop will open the door to fresh ideas that have been proven to work, but are rarely utilised.
Of course, it’s also a deep dive into horror too.
And mastery of this genre will enhance the execution of all stories we choose to tell.
Here are just a few of the things you can expect to gain from this masterclass:
- A deep understanding of the fundamental principles of horror writing, including suspense, tension, and pacing.
- The ability to create complex, relatable characters who can survive the horrors you put them through.
- How to recraft your pitch using the Horror template and why it will improve outcomes.
- Excitement, thrill and fear are all valuable tools to master and use in almost any story.
- Examples that will illustrate concepts clearly in horror films – and NON-Horror as well.
Bob is a true master of horror and he invites you to join us for a day that will open a doorway into the darkness of your story. You may have an entire seat to sit on, but you will only need THE EDGE!

‘It was clearly structured, with brilliant advice and watching the clips was very helpful. It’s one of the best courses I’ve been on. The workshop part helped me look at my script in a new light – looking at those intense, emotion-laden, visually memorable moments which sum up relationship or theme. Brilliant!’
