Announcing the 2015 Horror Screenplay Contest!

by ScreenCraft on March 17, 2015

We're thrilled to unveil the jury for the third annual "ScreamCraft" Horror Screenplay Contest. This competition seeks fresh voices in horror film screenwriting – a genre with a rabid fan base and a proven track record for establishing new voices in film.

The competition is open for entries until July 1st. Winners receive cash prizes and access to Hollywood industry executives who specialize in horror filmmaking. The grand prize winner will also get a phone call with acclaimed horror screenwriter C. Robert Cargill, whose credits include SINISTER, SINISTER 2 and the highly anticipated DEUS EX feature film.

 The 2015 jury includes Hollywood’s top horror producers and representatives:

  • Scott Henderson, Agent at Paradigm Talent Agency, represents renowned horror filmmakers James Wan and Leigh Wannell (SAW, DEAD SILENCE, INSIDIOUS)
  • Andrew Wilson, Literary Manager at Zero Gravity, represents acclaimed horror writer Clive Barker (HELLRAISER, NIGHT BREED, THE MIDNIGHT MEAT TRAIN) among many others!
  • Ryan Turek, VP of Development at Blumhouse Productions (company credits include PARANORMAL ACTIVITY, INSIDIOUS, SINISTER, OCULUS, THE PURGE, Academy-award nominee WHIPLASH and the upcoming UNFRIENDED).
  • Miles Fineburg, Development Executive at Terror Films (TRACE, THE CHOSEN)

“We look forward to discovering new screenwriting voices in this unique contest for horror film screenwriters,” said Cameron Cubbison, ScreenCraft co-founder.
