Got a Horror Screenplay? Draw Some “New Blood”!
I see a lot of you guys talking in the comments about horror movies you don’t like and how you could write a better script, and maybe you’re right! So here’s your chance to prove it! This sounds like a horror contest with its heart in the right place. I know a few of the judges and they’re legit and have good taste, so you could do worse than getting your eyes in front of them.
Stage 32 and The Bloodlist have teamed up another contest by the name of New Blood. As organizer Kailey Marsh tells us, “There is a big need and want for dark genre material in the market place right now. I see ‘New Blood’ as a good vetting system for scripts by up and coming writers, and as a natural extension of the Blood List.’“
In the contest, “3 unrepresented writers are given a chance to be featured in a section on The Blood List called NEW BLOOD. In addition, the winner of the contest will be flown to Los Angeles to have a one on meeting with an Richard Potter, EVP of relativity, as well as chat with select judges.”
Those judges include Adrienne Biddle (Unbroken), Nick Phillips (Revolver Picture Co.), Richard Potter (Relativity) Beth Bruckner (Millennium), Dave Neustadter (New Line Cinema), Trevor Macy (Intrepid Pictures), Adam Stone (Vertigo Entertainment), Ben Shields Catlin (IM Global), Ainsley Davies (Chris Morgan Productions), Garrick Dion (Bold Films), Carly Norris (The Allegiance Theater),Adi Shankar (1984 Defense Contractors) and Bailey Conway (Automatik).
The Stage 32 / The Blood List Search for New Blood screenwriting contest can be found on the Stage 32 Happy Writers section of Stage 32 as well as The Bloodlist .

In addition to Leigh Whannell’s upcoming Universal Monsters movie Wolf Man, Julia Garner (The Royal Hotel) has also joined the cast of Weapons, THR has announced tonight.
Weapons is the new horror movie from New Line Cinema and director Zach Cregger (Barbarian), with Julia Garner joining the previously announced Josh Brolin (Dune 2).
The upcoming Weapons is from writer/director Zach Cregger, who will also produce alongside his Barbarian producing team: Roy Lee of Vertigo and J.D. Lifshitz and Raphael Margules of BoulderLight Pictures. Vertigo’s Miri Yoon also produces.
The Hollywood Reporter teases, “Plot details for Weapons are being kept holstered but it is described as a multi and inter-related story horror epic that tonally is in the vein of Magnolia, the 1999 actor-crammed showcase from filmmaker Paul Thomas Anderson.”
Cregger was a founding member and writer for the New York comedy troupe “The Whitest Kids U’Know,” which he started while attending The School of Visual Arts. The award-winning group’s self-titled sketch comedy show ran for five seasons on IFC-TV and Fuse. He was also a series regular on Jimmy Fallon’s NBC series “Guys with Kids” and the TBS hit series “Wrecked,” and was featured in a recurring role on the NBC series “About a Boy.”
Weapons will be distributed worldwide by Warner Bros. Pictures.
