The Quiet Page: The Art of Fear
Sat, Oct 19, 2024
3:15 PM – 4:15 PM
Room 409
On-screen horror has long employed storytelling devices like jump-scare, controlled pacing, and suspenseful music to build eerie atmospheres and create a sense of dread. But how do you master the art of telling truly terrifying tales on the page? Creators of horror comics and novels have mastered this art, invoking these emotions purely through dialogue and still images or scrolling. Whether you’re a horror aficionado, an aspiring creator, or simply curious about the inner workings of fear-inducing storytelling, hear from some of the biggest names (and most twisted minds) in horror storytelling today on how they are creating panic on the page.
Panelists: Red, Meredith Moriarty, Patrick Horvath, Rotem Rusak, Sam Freeman, Sian Mandrake
