Class Code: TC01 From Pen to Pandemonium: Advanced Scripting for Haunted Entertainment (P.D. Cacek) Trish Cacek Saturday May 19, 4:00 PM - 5:00 PM As it has been said, most recently by Anthony Hopkins in the first season of the HBO’s series, WESTWORLD: “Everyone loves a good story.” And, regardless of the ghosties and ghoulies and walking dead who will shamble and menace and jump out at the crowds of unsuspecting visitors, above all else a Haunted House attraction should tell a good story. The winner of both a Bram Stoker and World Fantasy Award for her short horror fiction, P.D. Cacek has scripted storylines for a number of haunted house attractions and will take you through the process of taking an idea and developing it into a narrative. The session will focus on the process of taking an idea and developing it into a full narrative and will include • Character development • Backstory • Each room a chapter, each chapter a story • The magic of three • When and where to place the unexpected • Making the audience a part of the story There will also be time for discussion.
