My Funny Horror

Halloween with days away, I thought I'd play more impressed with the mixing and blending of genres, fear / horror. For me funny / scary Beattlejuice, is The Goonies, all right ... um ... Fun. The combination of comedy with horror or scary deals change in the method of approach to writing every day.

What you need to write a horror funny? Writing comedy is usually about the wording, style, timing. Add Horror / fear for your fun does not change the "rules".Is that you, the author the opportunity to creatively bend the fingers, wiggle them, stroke them, touch them and see where they take on the keyboard.

Want to be a horror comedy screenplay or novel writing? Consider the following:

What do you like - solid tips for any style / genre, read or see what you want helps you to define the framework in a way. It 's simple, a writer, understand and appreciate more of a struggle reading emulate you.

Before writinga task, I still read books, articles, extracts from the style I'm producing. Think of it as warm-up stretches before running, or tennis. I'm studying style, description, dialogue, etc.. Notes on style - with its floor. It 'hard to copy the style from another author, but it feels when you do, so feel free to emulate. Force style awkward produces embarrassment to your readers.

Choose a topic - When it comes to history is your mother, weaving a few rows in aboutbe wrapped. Turn the sentences of everyday phrases into a mummy. You are about to write skeletons? A skeleton needs of the jacket or freezes in his bones. Make this excessive. You do not want your readers to fill the blanks for you.

Everyday / ordinary - try to delete ghouls, ghosts, monsters in normal situations. While it can not scream for a teenage daughter on his shoulder funny (divided into, while on his dresser for the fabric colors temporary left and right), "Mom!You have my blue sweater? "It would be worth a smile, a white adolescent mind all the stuff dragged screaming over her shoulder, had" Mama! You have my silk sheets? "

Or perhaps, a mother scolding a child for the skeleton of not drinking enough milk, because she is worried about his bones.

Exaggerate - a pillar of comedy written in, it also applies to the comedy / horror. The following is called from one done in 1997 for the Disney TV movie, under wraps, a story in which three childrenaccidentally revives a mummy for Halloween.

Gilbert: My mother collected antique dolls completely normal. This is. A lot of people collect dolls.
Amy: Yes, a lot of people mad.
Gilbert: My mother is not crazy.
Amy: She takes her dolls to the movies.
Gilbert: Well, there's nothing wrong with that.
Amy: You buy their popcorn.
Gilbert: Once! He knew that once!

The dialogue exchangefunny, because not only the mother doll to take to the movies, buy their popcorn. The writer could have stopped, "She takes her dolls to the cinema", as it would be nice, but the party popcorn really accelerated the sense of humor.

There is no set formula when it comes to writing a funny piece of horror / fear. Although, if you have a few rules to remember how to exaggerate the good and emulate what you want ... then on a subject to observe to do to make your characters horrornormal things, it is useful to end with a story, a laugh is.
