Writing Horror That SELLS!

This week we’re talking money, specifically in terms of writing (horror) screenplays that sell, and to help with that, we have a guest! Writer of both TV and Film Seth M. Sherwood. They talk the benefits of writing spec scripts (even if you won't likely sell them), how "original" horror movies get made (and who gets to make them), how A24 didn't invent "Elevated Horror" (or social horror), and the landscape for Horror TV writers (plus how it pertains to the impending 2023 writer's strike).

Our Weekly Resource:
This week’s resource is…is a movie, AIR. This is the first time I believe that we’ve recommended a movie as the resource where the guest didn’t write it – no offense to Seth, but this is going to be on a lot of "Best" lists at the end of the year, guaranteed. And the story of how screenwriter, Alex Convery, got his very first screen credit is worthy of tracking down for your own inspirational fuel.
