HOME FOR HORROR WRITERS: THE DARK ARTS

The longer I've lived inside the horror world, the more I've come to see its beauty — and even its societal value.

Churches sometimes see it as a spawn of Satan. Yet, parishioners secretly watch it. Hollywood often treats it like the film industry's red-headed stepchild. Yet Tinseltown can't keep its hands off the genre because it delivers massive returns with minimal risk.

Horror has always been misunderstood.

It's time horror gets its due.

Horror is so much more than gallons of blood and well-timed jump scares. It's a vehicle, a safe place to confront fears, trauma, and shadows.

That belief is why I created Scream Write Horror Academy. It's time to usher in new writers who love the genre and deserve a place where their imagination isn't judged.

Hi, I'm Deborah Voorhees, your horror guide.

Many horror fans know me from Friday the 13th Part V: A New Beginning, where I play Tina. That film introduced me to my horror community. I've spent a decade traveling to conventions, meeting horror fans face-to-face, signing autographs, and hearing their stories.

Over and over, fans told me the same thing: "I have a horror movie idea... but I don't know where to begin."

Over the last 40 years, I have written and rewritten many screenplays and directed films, learning the craft the hard way, through experience, mistakes, breakthroughs, all in the pursuit of understanding what truly scares people.

**Eventually, I gathered so much knowledge I realized something: I could teach this. I should teach this. Horror writers deserve a place built specifically for them.**

Scream Write Horror Academy is that place.

Scream Write Horror Academy

A Killer System at a Killer Price

It will cost less than a pint of blood

I still remember the feeling when I first saw my indie slasher, 13 Fanboy, on the theater marquee, between two studio films, Halloween Kills and Dune. A fan took the above photo at his local theater. That was a heady moment for me.

After we were available on DVD, we stayed in Amazon's top 10 in horror sales for three weeks. An Indy film alone, alongside the studio films. We even hit the top two for three days, second only to Scream.

If it can happen to me, it can happen to you. The first step is writing that horror script.

You can become a horror screenwriter without the $200,000 Film School Price Tag!
