What
are the artistic consideration in changing one medium into another? Remember, it can work both ways, with books (and even
short stories) being turned into screenplays and then into films and with
films being turned into books. What are some of the
business considerations around these transformations? What
makes a story a good candidate for becoming a film? How
is it decided what films will be made into books?

David
Morrell - My Other Career as a Horror Writer
|
1:00:00 PM
|
Although
David Morrell is best known for his thrillers, such as FIRST BLOOD, THE
BROTHERHOOD OF THE ROSE, and THE PROTECTOR, he is also a multiple HWA Bram
Stoker recipient and nominee whose short stories have appeared in most
of the major horror anthologies of the past three decades. His horror novel THE TOTEM is cited in HORROR:100 BEST
BOOKS. The Washington Post called it "one of the
finest horror novels of the past twenty years." The Denver Rocky Mountain
News called it "one of the ten scariest of all time."
In this session, Morrell talks about his career
as a horror writer and why his imagination seldom strays far from the genre,
even in his thrillers."

Murder
at WHC

Focus:
What has always interested me about horror creators is the stories behind
the stories. In other words, how did you come to be obsessed with the genre?
Joining
Slade to discuss why they, too, are obsessed with horror themes will be
the eclectic group above. Ed Lee will tell the stories behind two of his
novels, and Alan Clark the stories behind two of his paintingsToo often,
however, we concentrate on the inspiration for writers and artists, and
neglect what inspired booksellers, publishers and convention organizers
to dedicate their lives to horror. So here's a chance for them to reveal
what makes them tick.
