📽️ Horror Movie is a psychological mindfuck, unlike anything I’ve ever read. It made me feel stressed out, disturbed, horrified, and INSPIRED - this book is a masterclass for horror writers. @paultremblay.bsky.social

“I don’t think I shall ever forget this story. It’s embedded in my veins. Wonderfully dark, brilliantly twisted, and utterly brilliant, Julia Jackson takes the lore of the world of Shakespeare’s Macbeth and brings a side out of it that should have always been seen - but was perhaps waiting for...

👻 “I see dead people” This quote from the Sixth Sense is a pivotal part of the film, and one of the many moments where the final twist was staring us right in the face the whole entire time. This twist has had a huge influence on me as a writer. I start every story from the idea of a twist...

🍴 🩸 Cannibalism in horror can be one of the most powerful ways to elicit a strong reaction-it makes the reader’s stomach turn in shock, disgust, and fear. But it goes way beyond that, acting as a symbol for love (Lucy Rose’s The Lamb), a key to survival (Yellowjackets), and the...
