Screenwriting : Horror Screenplay Length by Bradley Aaron

Horror Screenplay Length

What is a good length for a horror/thriller screenplay? Most of what I've written lands about 105pages, but horror seems to be closer to 90 most of the time.

Tristan Hutchinson

Having more pages is helpful if your script sells. Since there will be more edits before production.

Molly Peck

Hi Bradley, it's true that most successful scripts are on the shorter side, however, I think 105 pages is perfectly reasonable. Anything over 110 tends to discourage people from reading it, but you should be fine.
