ABOUT THE WEBINAR
The world's first oral tales were horror stories, told to incoming generations as a way to convey social values, rules and morality. Today's horror movies have taken this concept one step further, using larger-than-life antagonists to remind us of the ever-haunting uncertainty of life, as well as the fear of death, that plagues us all as a species.
Every decade, the horror genre creates a new set of conventions, recycling old concepts while incorporating fresh innovations. From NOSFERATU to THE SIXTH SENSE, every few years one "game changing" horror film wins over audiences and is indicative of a tidal wave of change within the genre, affecting everything produced from high-budget reboots to low-budget independent productions.

During these 90 minutes, you will identify and explore current trends within this year's horror movie lineup, and learn Mylo's unique formula for staying ahead of the trend-curve by creating characters, plot twists and surprise endings designed to completely outsmart loyal horror film moviegoers around the world.
