The deals, moves, and market signals
driving horror.
Horror is a $4.5 billion business with its own sales infrastructure, its own festival circuit, its own financing logic. The professionals who work it deserve a trade publication built specifically for it.
You’re developing, financing, selling, or programming horror. ScreamWire covers the deals, data, and production intelligence shaping the business, written by someone working in it.
Who’s Behind It
Cheryl Meyer is an award-winning screenwriter based in Los Angeles whose career spans development, production, and the festival circuit on both sides of the border. She heads Northgrave Pictures, a Canadian horror production company. She’s in the financing rooms, the festival markets, the deals. When the publication she needed did not exist, she created ScreamWire.
