How to Write a Killer Short Screenplay featuring Fred Pelzer (@National2080)

A brand spanking new special episode has arrived! In this episode Smish discusses the selection process for the first annual Killer Shorts Horror Short Screenplay Competition with Fred Pelzer (aka @National2080), a moderator of the Screenwriters Network discord server and a reader for the contest.

They go into great detail about the judgment process for selecting the 100 Quarter-Finalists and let a lot of great screenwriting advice slip along the way. If you want to know what separates a great horror short screenplay from a good one, this episode is for you!

Smish and Fred discuss:

  • What Separated Certain Scripts (8:54)
  • Putting in a Twist (12:32)
  • Location, Location, Location (18:18)
  • Script Length (21:40)
  • Great Dialogue (30:55)
  • Different Styles of Horror (35:09)
  • Loglines (43:32)
  • I’ve Never Seen That Before (49:15)
