How to write a horror short screenplay

Writing a horror script is like writing any good story. You want to have strong characters, engaging dialogue, and a sense of realism. Even if characters are in an extraordinary situation you want their responses to that situation or threat to be real. One of the big problems I’ve noticed in many horror films is that when given the evidence, characters don’t recognize that they are in a horror movie. They wonder why corpses are showing up with two marks on their neck and no blood. They wonder why the dead have risen and mindlessly want to consume flesh. The problem is that the audience is quickly ahead of the characters. <a href="https://lanceeliotadams.medium.com/how-to-write-a-horror-short-screenplay-69536a768f86">Website</a>
