Writing A Script...?
 

I have an idea for a horror movie, the problem is it's a sequel and the franchise is now a StV (Straight-to-Video) operation. Where can I find information on writing a script treatment and/or script specifically for horror movies. Thanks for any help you can offer.

What company made the franchise ? Start there. Go to their website and contact the people involved about making the next film. Can't hurt.

There was not just one company, but a few...but the main part of my question was not answered; I was asking where to find information on writing a script or screenplay.

my suggestion is to go to your nearest bookretailer (B&N, Borders, etc) go to the Film/Television section and see if they have the following book:

The Screenwriter's Bible...

this is the book I used in my screenwriting class and it is very informative, with info including: developing characters, plot devices, how to deal with writer's block, and doing re-writes.

I think it's around $30

Is this it?:

My bad. I use Sophocles myself when writing screenplays. Give it a try. If you like it, PM me and I'll e-mail you the crack for it to unlock it's full functions.

My preference for the script writing software is Final Draft, but I've only used the demo of it and I like it...but because it's a demo I cannot use all the cool features.

yeah that's the book! get it! I have Final Draft 6, if I had a cd burner i'd burn a copy of it for you.

I will get that book for sure when I have the money for it, until then I need to find a detailed online script writing tutorial in the vein of that book!

I want to get my hands on the new FD7, even if I have to resort to other means of procurement; as the new features in FD7 just blow me away.

this isn't a tutorial, but it has lots of scripts. Reading lots and lots of scripts will help you see how they are written.
