This is my subject sickf**k smile

A full length feature script usually runs anywhere between 90-144 pages.  Keep in mind that horror scripts tend to be shorter than most other genres.  I would say even an 86 page horror script would be acceptable.

(HINT: 1 page = 1 min.)

Dialogue is tough at first.  What helps me is just think about real life situations.  Think about when you talk to your buddies or your family.  Heh, it helps me.

Well, Meh, you write for this site... and very well might I add.

Filmmaking For Teens is a book that I highly recommend.  I got it as a Christmas present and read it in a couple of hours.  The Screenwriters Bible is another good one.
