So, after listening to all of the slasher episodes from the brilliant Evolution of Horror podcast (which I highly recommend you check out), I decided that I would have a bash at writing one myself. So I immersed myself in such movies as Blood Rage, The House on Sorority Row, Prom Night, Bay of Blood, Pieces, Dressed to Kill and Black Christmas. Needless to say I had to watch Coco and Inside Out after!
After the bloody movie marathon, I decided on a service station location for my slasher, set in the early 1990s. Emphasis is on a variety of different characters that I hope will subvert the somewhat cliched ones that appear in the majority of this genre - well, we’ll see. I’m only a few pages in!
Speaking of horror - good luck to everyone who submitted to the bloodlist - I believe the results are out soon.
Oh and if you are a horror fan, go check out the Faculty of Horror podcast as well.
