Being a professional writer for more then a few years now, I have found inspiration in all sorts and kind of ways! Some times when it comes to something as simple as thinking up a fun title, and then crafting a story around it! But there is a way to do so that just dawned on me recently... That being using songs to write movies! Or, well in the context of this blog, using music to inspire one to write a horror movie!
An unfortunate, yet valid example of this is, 'Charles Manson'... Ok so maybe Charles Manson never got published... He may not have ever even written anything (I suspect that if he has written a biography, that it was probably actually ghost written...) But the reason why I use this as an example is because unfortunately he found inspiration from The Beatles song, 'Helter Skelter', and where as I do find all of that to be absolutely disgusting... A great song, I think can truly inspire some one to write a great movie!

| The right song can inspire some one to write a great horror movie! |
I mean have you ever sat and watched one of the older horror movies, (like, The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (1974),) and just thought that this movie thematically seems kind of similar to say: 'The psychedelic nature of Iron Butterfly's (In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida)', or say: 'Black Sabbath's (Iron Man) or maybe it is just something as simple as wondering if perhaps this movie was inspired by a particular song...
If you haven't thought with that concept in mind, check out one of these older horror movies and really look at it from the musical concept, I think you will find it to be most illuminating, and may actually be a source of inspiration for your next project!
