There’s Someone Inside Your House is a Netflix
horror movie based on the YA novel by Stephanie
Perkins. Shazam! writer Henry Gayden adapted the
book and talks to Write On about tackling the horror genre and
injecting it with emotion: "I've always liked slasher movies, but
they've been my least favorite subgenre because you never really
get emotionally invested in them… [Stephanie Perkins] comes from a
YA romance background. [There's Someone Inside Your House]
was her first horror book, so she created all these characters that
were great, and I loved them, and there was a love story inside of
this slasher book, and I really responded to it. And because I was
emotionally invested, I suddenly wanted to write a slasher
movie."
Henry goes on to give advice on taking your time developing a
career: "I think a lot of people are in a rush to succeed right
away when they're just not mature enough, mentally and also as a
writer, to handle what you've gotta go through."
