7:11 pm             thtrnerd221:             @yeah_write I'm in the same boat. Only I want to do a spoof on them, but I don't know enough about them. #scriptchat

7:11 pm             johnrackham:             @DreamsGrafter The Company of Wolves relates the werewolf myth to puberty. Was that an influence at all? #scriptchat

7:12 pm             inkcanada:             @Bang2write well to be honest I've heard/read a few interps of the menses theme in GS. The best ones note that its sexual onset #scriptchat

7:13 pm             johnrackham:             @thtrnerd221 You really have to know them inside out to spoof them. #scriptchat

7:13 pm             sweettweenie:             what are you working on now? #scriptchat

7:13 pm             GCGeek:             @inkcanada Do you differentiate between concept of horror (content) vs. suspense (O/S CU follows, music/efx bursts, cat jumps)? #scriptchat

7:13 pm             inkcanada:             @dramadj honestly most of my horror ideas come from daily life.the way people treat each other oft horrific. Myth up from there #scriptchat

7:13 pm             raingirls:             Hi Karen, my question is on process - do you jump to script or outline, treatment, first draft, etc. #scriptchat

7:16 pm             inkcanada:             @Jules_Clarke aw thanks Jules, I love Guns n Roses! While we're on music GS was written to Garbage & L7 ;) #scriptchat @DreamsGrafter

7:18 pm             inkcanada:             @DreamsGrafter I am always astonished by other people's boundaries in horror. I do like to push. It's the point #scriptchat

7:18 pm             sweettweenie:             how did you go about pitching GS, was it hard long process to get it made? #scriptchat

7:18 pm             dramadj:             @inkcanada So horror is mostly something breaking into your privacy, then.. So what does horror dist. from psych. thrillers? #scriptchat

7:20 pm             inkcanada:             @dramadj good Q! horror is diff than psych thrillers: horror is visceral & pain is physical; psych it's imagined, it's feared #scriptchat

7:21 pm             inkcanada:             @GCGeek well I adore & admire Mr. Ball's work v v v much. Think he's brilliant. Others, the 'torture porn' leaves me cold ;) #scriptchat

7:21 pm             DreamsGrafter:             RT @inkcanada: horror is diff than psych thrillers: horror is visceral & pain is physical; psych it's imagined, it's feared #scriptchat

7:22 pm             Bang2write:             @inkcanada re: boundaries, do u have a limit u wldn't go beyond? ie. wld u try for *next* HUMAN CENTREPEDE, for example? #scriptchat

7:22 pm             dramadj:             @inkcanada So something like Alien or Silence of the Lambs is a little bit of both.. a genremix? #scriptchat

7:22 pm             inkcanada:             @GCGeek (actually my sweetheart is watching True Blood in BG right now as we type ;)) #scriptchat

7:22 pm             DreamsGrafter:             @inkcanada Can you elaborate on the monster in the horror? Do you think there are any original ones left out there? #scriptchat

7:23 pm             GCGeek:             ? RT @inkcanada well I adore & admire Mr. Balls work v v v much. Think hes brilliant. Others, the torture porn leaves me cold ;) #scriptchat

7:23 pm             inkcanada:             @Bang2write depends which limits. I like social limits. I like my stories to be little fables for some Gross we're all living. #scriptchat

7:25 pm             DreamsGrafter:             Am LOVING @inkcanada's tweets - GREAT tips on HORROR screenwriting. #scriptchat

7:25 pm             inkcanada:             @dramadj I do think Alien is pure sci fi (genius, luv!!!) and Silence is a psych thriller where the engine is our 'detective' #scriptchat

7:25 pm             rubyskyepi:             RT @DreamsGrafter: If you have any q's on horror on any of @inkcanada's screenplays, she's here to answer them: http://bit.ly/185tzs - #scriptchat

7:25 pm             inkcanada:             @GCGeek it all goes in cycles, with horror. There are fans who luv the gore and I get it, I just dont write it ;) #scriptchat

7:26 pm             GCGeek:             @inkcanada Q: Must all horror have an element of evil? Conflict, of course, but must it be good vs. evil or evil vs. more-evil? #scriptchat

7:26 pm             dramadj:             @inkcanada I think Alien is partly horror coz you can't see the monster. It's "out there", you fear it. #scriptchat

7:26 pm             inkcanada:             @DreamsGrafter oh yes as long as there are humans there will always be new or new versions of the Monstrous. Fer shure! #scriptchat

7:26 pm             Bang2write:             @inkcanada great answer! as a script reader I read far too much rape (m & f) as part of the horror genre in particular #scriptchat

7:27 pm             inkcanada:             @DreamsGrafter monsters are the great universal, you see. Not everybody gets True Love. We all Fear Something, Someone #scriptchat

7:27 pm             DreamsGrafter:             RT @inkcanada: as long as there are humans there will always be new or new versions of the Monstrous. Fer shure! #scriptchat

7:27 pm             dramadj:             @inkcanada I think horror monsters are often metaphors or triggers to confront the characters with their greatest problems. #scriptchat

7:31 pm             inkcanada:             @Bang2write I do get the impulse to portray rape as horror. It is horror, but not the kind I enjoy asking for $ just for kicks. #scriptchat

7:31 pm             DreamsGrafter:             @inkcanada Haha, that's ok. :) #scriptchat

7:33 pm             UncompletedWork:             Checkin in to #uk #scriptchat proper. Hi guys!

7:34 pm             thewritertype:             #scriptchat Maybe SAW etc isn't true horror because there's no 'other' - just hurting people. Horror needs 'other' ?

7:34 pm             inkcanada:             @dramadj love Mr. King. His book about writing is brilliant as wll highly recommend #scriptchat

7:34 pm             dramadj:             @inkcanada Watched "The Mist" few weeks ago. Real horror was this religious chick brainwashing the people. Brrr #scriptchat

7:37 pm             inkcanada:             @dramadj yes lol to me the scariest people in my stuff are the 'normal people' - what they care about is usually eeeew to me #scriptchat

7:37 pm             TheWriteScript:             Hello Euro scriptchatters! Not my genre and grad school reading is piling up, so I'll lurk this one out. #scriptchat

7:41 pm             inkcanada:             @dramadj truly the real power of horror is what you see of it in the world when you leave one, don't you think? #scriptchat

7:41 pm             yeah_write:             @inkcanada I think the "what if" theme that could actually happen makes the best horror? Your opinion? #scriptchat

7:41 pm             inkcanada:             @Jules_Clarke oh so sorry! ;) GS - short for a movie I wrote called Ginger Snaps (2000) #scriptchat

7:42 pm             DreamsGrafter:             @inkcanada How did your first feature get optioned? How did Ginger Snaps land on the right desk? #scriptchat
