Truby's Blockbuster Genre Add-on - Horror
John Truby
Description
You must own Truby's Blockbuster 5.0 to install this software. This Genre Add-on connects seamlessly to your Blockbuster 5.0 program and gives you customized 7-Keys and 22-Steps along with three movie examples for this genre. It will not work with previous Truby Blockbuster software. If you own a previous version of Truby's Blockbuster you can upgrade for $59.00.
The Horror Story, at the simplest level, shows someone defeating a monster. It tends to be very predictable. Monster chases, hero flees.
But a writer who gets inside the form can do something that blows people away. The Exorcist, Jaws, Nightmare on Elm Street, Scream. These films realized how to use the techniques of the form to take the audience to the edge of what is horrifying in this life.
Showing the audience what is truly horrifying is not easy when they have seen so many horror movies. The contrivances of the form - the tricks the writer uses to scare the audience - are so obvious now that they actually make the typical horror story less scary. Even laughable.
Horror is also the most preset of all the genres, with 15 story beats that must be present if you are to meet the audience's expectations. That stops most writers cold: first, because they don't know what these beats are, and second, because they end up writing the same story as everyone else.
The HORROR SOFTWARE gives you the tools to surpass the tough expectations of the audience and really knock them out with something new and terrifying. The Horror Maps show you how to create the ideal hero and monster, track the crucial nightmare sequence, and transcend the form to set your horror story apart. All the information in Truby's Horror Course is there online when you need it. Plus the story Examples for horror classics Nightmare on Elm Street, King Kong, The Shining show you how master writers crack the story problems you're facing right now.
If you write Horror, get the big advantage of the Horror Software.
