You'd have to work very hard to unearth a horror film that didn't dally in fear, disgust and (d'uh!) horror. I literally wrote it on a train while commuting between Long Island and New York City. It's not the nature of existence and our struggle to understand our own realities, both inside and outside of our own minds, that we're afraid of. Horror is more about the allegory. The first movie I ever got paid for was a film called 'Fear of the Dark'. Horror has, among all of the genres in film and written works, one of the longest, most distinguished, and often misunderstood bloodlines in history. Horrors also frequently overlap with the thriller genre.” The opening sentence is certainly indisputable. But you can find the same things in the films of Ingmar Bergman or Michael Haneke. Devin Watson is the screenwriter for the horror film The Cursed (2010) and is the author of the newly released book, Horror Screenwriting: The Nature of Fear. It made me wonder about the nature of writers and why this culture exists? Just think of Ms I Dracula, The Wolfman, I Walked With a Zombie, Cat People, Rosemary's Baby: perversions of nature abound in each of those classics.

For a genre that is too often wrongly treated as having only niche appeal outside of mainstream tastes, i find it enormously validating that my Horror script be awarded in this way. In 'Confessions of a Low-Budget Horror Writer,' Screen Rant talks with screenwriter Johnny Sullivan about the weird and wild world of direct-to-DVD horror flicks and why B horror movies are so popular. Stories that scare us are woven into our bones, as Stephen Kings saids, “the night thoughts that trouble a whole society”, our fears define who we are and how we understand ourselves in a very profound way. Everyday fears are reinterpreted as monsters.
