How to Write a Horror Script
Hello dear reader. What scares an audience? A filmmaker could concentrate on phobias centralized to certain groups of people. That would be one route to go. A much more Advantageous route to go would be the purely and simply sake of universal fears i.e. death, loss of loved one. Every story ever told can be broken down into a beginning a middle and an end. In a horror story think of it in these terms opening tragedy evil attacks and is it over.

What's In a Reading Experience?
When I talk about ‘reading experiences’ I’m not just talking about the way in which we experience literature when reading it. A ‘reading experience’ also refers to the fact that some books stay with us. We may remember the experience of reading it at the time and then, as if taken back in time, relive that experience or at least, wish to relive it.

Michelle Trachtenberg: Remembering Jenny From 'EuroTrip'
Michelle Trachtenberg possessed a rare talent, conveying more with her eyes than many could with pages of dialogue. In fact, her career, though remarkable, hinted at even greater potential. From Buffy the Vampire Slayer to Gossip Girl and beyond, she displayed an impressive range and was among the defining figures of the 90s' to late 00s' pop culture. More importantly, as a person, she seemed to exude intelligence and authenticity, coupled with a sharp, often dark, wit that remained with her until the end.

Do you believe in ghosts?
Disclaimer: My American/Canadian/International friends, I apologise in advance for tempting you with a British TV/radio programme that you probably won't be able to watch/listen to. It could be that there is some way that you can access this. Perhaps the BBC will allow Netflix to have the TV rights like they did "Happy Valley". If you do get a chance to watch it, do. You won't be disappointed.
