How To Write A Horror Movie

How To Write A Horror Movie

How to Write a Horror Movie is a close look at an always-popular (but often disrespected) genre. It focuses on the screenplay and acts as a guide to bringing scary ideas to cinematic life using examples from great (and some not-so-great) horror movies. Author Neal Bell examines how the basic tools of the scriptwriter’s trade - including structure dialogue humor mood characters and pace – can work together to embody personal fears that will resonate strongly on screen. Screenplay examples include classic works such as 1943’s I Walked With A Zombie and recent terrifying films that have given the genre renewed attention like writer/director Jordan Peele’s critically acclaimed and financially successful Get Out. Since fear is universal the book considers films from around the world including the ‘found-footage’ [REC] from Spain (2007) the Swedish vampire movie Let The Right One In (2008) and the Persian-language film Under The Shadow (2016). The book provides insights into the economics of horror-movie making and the possible future of this versatile genre. It is the ideal text for screenwriting students exploring genre and horror and aspiring scriptwriters who have an interest in horror screenplays.

Geometrical Justice The Death Penalty in America

Geometrical Justice The Death Penalty in America

Legal decisions continue to mystify: why was this person sentenced to 20 years in prison but that person to just 10 years for the same crime? Why did one person sue for civil damages but another let the matter drop? Legal rules are supposed to answer these questions but their answers are radically incomplete. Wouldn’t it be wonderful to have a theory that predicted and explained legal decisions? Drawing on Donald Black’s theoretical ideas Geometrical Justice: The Death Penalty in America addresses these issues focusing specifi cally on who is sentenced to death and executed in the United States. The book explains why some murders are more serious than others and how the social characteristics of defendants victims and jurors aff ect case outcomes.
