Thanks for another great #horrorwriterschat everyone. Today I'd like to promote Bruce Springsteen's new song Streets of Minneapolis. It chronicles some real life horror. www.youtube.com/watch?v=wWKS...

#HorrorWritersChat I roll a six and try to stab the darkness with a rusty trombone. It parries the blow. “You dare” it hisses. I cry. The next two weeks are spent in a full body cast watching Alias reruns.

Hi. I’m Ian. I write bloody awful horror films. The part of me that’s the darkest is the part that writes scenes where people fornicate, defecate and elongate. #cringe

We literally watched the sequel a few months ago in Wales and I was stunned at it being a clip show. The audacity.

It’s the only way. The laziest and therefore best horror franchise.

Ian @deathyboy.bsky.social · 10/12/2025

Yeah. I love writing scripts. :)

I’m a screenplay cat, I like dialogue too much.

It's clouds. Wispy and faint and somehow directed, sliding into her vision no matter how she turns her head. And every day they are nearer. #horrorwriterschat

Ya know, prose this good makes me realise I made the right call ditching my novel. Some people just get writing fiction.

I don't have any specific examples, but I watched horror movies from a very young age, and honestly the music was probably what creeped me out more than anything else. I try to simulate that in my writing by coupling unsettling sounds with the character's physiological reactions. #HorrorWritersChat

#HorrorWritersChat Have you heard the final boss music from the very first Silent Hill game? Not my favourite - that would be Silent Hill 4's fight with Walter in the big blood room music - but good God my nerves were rattled Imagine being an active dentist drill left on inside a garbage can

#horrorwriterschat - “Somewhere over the rainbow.” Bloody lemon drops. Whimsy is horror.

My bad, I can’t keep track of these posts. Replied to the wrong one.

I use lots of music references. Music is cool. Also scratching. #horrorwriterschsmat

Hello #HorrorWritersChat! My name is Rami Ungar, I write horror and dark fantasy, and it really depends. Sometimes it's 80s music, sometimes it's musical soundtracks, occasionally it's ASMR videos on YouTube. The story will usually dictate what I'm listening to. Just as long as it's not silence!

Rebecca Cantrell here. I write horror, mystery, thriller, comedy, whatever is shiny right this minute. When I was under contract, I was more restrained. I'm listening to Christmas music and writing Christmasy things. With blood. Otherwise I make playlists based on era and mood. #horrorwriterschat

Hello #horrorwriterschat - I’m Kimberly Davis Basso I write horror filled stories about ordinary things. I do not listen to music while physically writing, though I do sometimes listen to music to inspire writing, as part of the process, same way I look at art.

I'm Eryn, I write the horror. I rarely listen to music when writing: and if I do, it has to have no words in it. Mostly I listen to soundtracks, or slowed down ones, slowed down Interstellar is good. Or brown, green noise. Or nothing. I can throw down a lot of words in silence. #HorrorWritersChat
