1. Tell us how you became interested in writing. I have been interested in writing since elementary school when I would write little stories and poems and bombard my teachers with them. I have always loved writing essays for school too. However, as an adult, I never had any ideas for fiction, which was what I really wanted to write, until I stumbled upon the idea of horror. From there, everything just started to flow. 2. Do you prefer short stories or novels? I write short. I build my characters efficiently and have fast-paced plots. I definitely prefer it that way because it keeps writing exciting. My longest novella was about 22,000 words. Someday I may write a novel, but if not, I am okay with that. I also prefer to read short. If I put a book down, I may not come back to it, so I love a one-sitting read. 3. How would you classify the genre of writing in your work? I call it extreme emotional horror. My characters deal with real-life horrors cranked up to 100. I have a lot of ...

  Get ready to explore the haunting origins of one of cinema’s most iconic horror films with Nosferatu – The Real Story. As Robert Eggers’ much-anticipated reimagining of Nosferatu prepares to hit cinemas, this gripping new documentary dives into the dark and tangled history of the 1922 classic that changed the face of horror forever. Directed by Robin Bextor, the mind behind Twisters: The Real Story and The Exorcist Untold, this must-watch exploration of terror and resilience arrives on UK digital platforms on 16 December 2024, courtesy of Reel 2 Reel Films. The story of FW Murnau’s Nosferatu: A Symphony of Horror is as eerie as the film itself. Shot in 1921, it was an unauthorised adaptation of Bram Stoker’s Dracula, a creative decision that would almost lead to its destruction. Florence Balcombe, Stoker’s widow, filed a now-famous copyright lawsuit demanding every copy of the film be destroyed. For a moment, it seemed like Nosferatu was doomed to disappear forever. But, like its...

With the release of his latest film FRIGHT on Amazon Prime ( https://amzn.to/4etlwqi ), writer and director Warren Dudley opens up about the thrills and challenges of indie filmmaking, his love for horror, and his lifelong passion for football.
