The Hayes Horror Workshop

A Home for Horror Screenwriters From The Creators of the $2B+ "Conjuring" Film Franchise

What is The Hayes Horror Workshop?

Chad Hayes and Carey W. Hayes are the blockbuster screenwriters and producers of "The Conjuring" and "The Conjuring 2," as well as "The Turning," "The Reaping," "Whiteout," "House of Wax," and many more.

For the first time, Chad and Carey will break-down their techniques and expertise for the public, and offer life-changing opportunities for career advancement. 

Registration for the Live Workshop and Mentorship opportunity for 2023 is now closed, but we welcome you to join the Community (for free), to interact with fellow writers and creatives, and be first to know about opportunities in 2024

Workshop Also Includes:

  • The Mentorship Program: all registrants will be eligible to submit for the chance  to be personally mentored by the Hayes Brothers in the coming year.  Past mentees have gone on to sell and direct their own screenplays, win awards, sign with agents and managers, and sell pitches to studios, one for more than half a million dollars.
  • The Hayes Horror Community: all registrants will be able to connect and interact in our online creative network. 
  • And More: we will continue to add Guest Speakers, Content, Tips and News, accessible to all registrants in the Workshop. 

“Our passion for writing knows no bounds.  We are driven by love for the craft, and our goal is to share lessons and time-honored techniques we yearned for when we first began our careers, so  that every writer can improve their narrative potential and craft their most extraordinary tales.”   ~ Chad & Carey W. Hayes
