(2020/15/13- Re-edited the audio for all videos, since it was considered the weakest part of the class. This is the only time that I plan on giving this course any large edits. I want to leave it as-is for the most part as a personal memorial for how I started on Skillshare and how much I've improved on storytelling and video editing. Thank you all again for the great reviews!)
This class is currently going through a large revision. It was my first class, so I didn't expect the compliments it received. Thank you! I'm also grateful for any feedback or criticisms that can help improve the class. I want to make it the best it can be!
Want to strike fear into everyone with just your words? Trying to get that script done up for a film or video game? Need to give your ideas an extra spark, but can't find it? Finally tired of complaining about blockbuster cliches and want to show Hollywood some REAL Horror?
Welcome to Let's Write Horror!
An introductory class about the art of terrifying storytelling. Here is where we discuss and write about Horror staples and the aspects that they're built upon. Each video will discuss a theme and offer prompts for students to write about. Feedback is encouraged all around!
Note: this course is designed with the expectation that students already know about basic storytelling, i.e, structure, plot, characters, writer's block, etc.
-ALSO, because of some of the themes and topics, this course is Teen+. There may be triggering topics, such as death, abuse, and insensitive imagery. Viewer discretion is advised!
Recommended reading: Pharmakembru: The Face. Available for ebook on Blurb and print on Amazon. Not required, but I helped with writing it and I will use it for examples in the course.
