I have adored writing fantasy horror since I was lucky enough to be selected for Twisted50 volume 1.

Bob Schultz is cooking up a Christmas horror project called “Advent.” He’s looking for short film scripts (8-12 pages) with a festive terror twist.

My first horror movie, ‘Necronomicon, book of the dead’
My first horror movie, ‘Necronomicon, book of the dead’ One of the reasons I LOVE Twisted soo much is that horror was, and still is, my first love… And it goes all the way back! So there I was in a geology class, when it hit me… I want to be a filmmaker. Now this

Twisted50 Lost One Of It’s Vibrant Voices: A Tribute to Richie Brown
I just found out that Richie Brown, one of our writers from Create50, has sadly died. Richie was a prolific writer for Create50 and a huge supporter, both publically, and behind the scenes. A handful of writers really committed to elevating the whole Twisted50 experience for everyone, and Richie was one of them. During the
