Webinar Summary
Writers can't rely on jump-scares and creepy music, so how do screenwriters create tension on the page? We'll take a look at needling suspense of THE BABADOOK, the tension just below the surface in GET OUT, the apocalyptic horror of “The Walking Dead”, and the creeps and chills of IT.

Martin Reese This was an excellent webinar. Lots of great insight. It really gave me a lot of food for thought as I continue to write my own horror screenplay. Great job. Definitely further validates the value of being part of The Writer's Room. -
Sarah Gabrielle Baron Allen has a very objective way of looking at how writers use action, place, and dialogue to create character. You will find yourself listening along and then say, "wait, what? That was deep," (rewind, listen again). The nuances of pacing, character back story, and goals vs. stakes will take on a new flavour for you. Highly recommended!
