Welcome to the San Fernando Horror Screenplay Awards
Horror, the versatile genre. Widely known yet seldom celebrated. This strife is shared with the screenwriter, the one who brings the groundwork to a movie but is forgotten under the shine of the director and actors.
Given the rise and popularity of elevated horror, we also see how the genre widely disregarded as "empty" by detracters has not only been good at it's simplest but excels when it tackles depth.
The Horror Screenplay Awards exists to shine a light on the neglected genre and its passionate torchbearers. To analyze and critique how the skeleton of a horror film shines through. To critique the abject fear a story can provide. And to recognize the brilliance of the pioneers in the new age.
