HorrorWritersBlock2022_Characters&Subgenres

This book tells fiction writers and screenwriters what kind of movies have often, rarely, or never been made, and warns them about saturated niches. The lower the frequency meter, the more unique the concept.

These statistics are based on about 3200 horror and horror-adjacent movies I’ve reviewed, categorized, and rated. 21 subgenres and 27 character types were combined, resulting in 621 permutations. The best movies for each subgenre/character combination are listed for inspiration’s sake.
