FEEDBACK FROM STUDENTS:

"Profound and detailed investigation into horror and storytelling. Very interesting and unusual take on the subject."

"The information provided and Ian's thoughts really opened my eyes ... brilliant, I am leaving with 6 or 7 workable ideas."

"A great workshop, wonderful tutor, an enjoyable and insightful foray into the deep disturbances of the horror genre."

​"A very useful way to learn about key areas and current horror tropes."

By making our fears concrete, Horror can intensify the visual and cinematic quality of stories, increasing their stakes, heightening their emotions and giving opportunities for strong audience engagement.

Writers and filmmakers can use Horror to talk about all the things that interest them. But they can do it in truly cinematic ways that have great creative potential and a prospect of communicating to big audiences.

This is because Horror embodies its ideas rather than just talking around them. Instead of making gestures towards rage or grief, it creates beings made from those emotions.

The workshop will help you think through the genre in fresh and creative ways, opening up your work to new possibilities.​
COURSE CONTENT:

We'll look for new variations on the characters, scenarios and ideas which constitute the genre.

Your projects. You’ll end the day with a sheaf of self-generated ideas to use in your original horror scripts.


​Some of the areas we'll cover:

Emotions. A crucial element of all stories, but we'll look deeply into the specific ways that emotions work in horror.

Political Horror. How we can use the genre to comment on social and political issues.

Blending Genres. Unlikely genres can provide inspiration for horror. We'll look at ways of making something new from the "blending" process.

Human Monsters. We'll look at ways in which non-supernatural figures can carry a horrific charge.

Tone and Style. Two overlooked methods of creating new story
variations.


The Undead. A horror staple; but how can we find novel twists on these archetypal figures?

Humans Need Horror. At root, it seems we need the things that horror offers us. We'll ponder some of the reasons why.

Stimulating clips. We’ll watch clips illustrating key ideas, inspiring you to come up with your own variations.

​
AFTER THE WORKSHOP - A FACEBOOK GROUP

We'll be organising a closed Facebook group after the workshop so that we can continue sharing information, clips and ideas, and letting us know about each others' projects.
