Writing Horror Fiction

Fright flick master John Carpenter, who terrorized the big screen for the last 50 years with movies like The Fog and most of the Halloween movies, closed in on the power of the horror genre when he said, “What scares me is what scares you. We’re all afraid of the same things. That’s why horror is such a powerful genre. All you have to do is ask yourself what frightens you and you’ll know what frightens me.”
