im writing a horror novel…?
hi im so fed up of low budget horror flicks that over the years have ruined horror eg vampires in the original 1938 i think it was film were terrifying but these days there’s movies that have ruined that image, such as Dracula 2000 and twilight. Then the other day i saw Paranormal Activity. I was amazed at how much that first time director managed to bring back suspense and terror, it inspired me to dig up some old ideas of a werewolf story i started writing a few years back, anyway this is summing up the opening part. The book opens up at a mansion owned by a rich family (a man, a woman and 2 kids) anyway the family has their own chefs and gardeners etc. anyway at night the father goes to put the kids to bed and the mother is downstairs working on a novel and she hears noises coming from outside, she goes outside thinking its the gardener and shouts out "Why are you still working?" (she cant see him shes just yelling into the yard) then you hear the hedges rustling and the full moon comes out and she hears howling coming from nearby as she starts to run inside she is grabbed by the leg and tripped over. the chapter ends with blood being splattered over the glass door. thats all ive got so far. comments please!
Not bad. A good start! :0)
Or…
Is that a ‘dead stop’? (lol)

Interesting concept, I’d roll with it and try to get more critique when you have a whole chapter done.
Also, I must agree, all these sh!tty movies and books are really getting on my nerves. It almost makes me hate modern prose/entertainment altogether, because it’s like it’s getting lazy.

Twilight isn’t horror. It’s a cheesy vampire novel aimed at teenage girls.
Your story sounds potentially good. You should try to turn it into more than just an idea.
