Abstract
Through stories, humans deal with their fears. Horror stories in particular confront the darkest aspects of humanity head-on and attempt to understand them. In my screenplay, All's Fair In Love and Gore, I examine the negative effects selfishness has on relationships and the fallout that can ensue from unhealthy coupling. The story follows Ryker on his twenty-second birthday as he attempts to win over Lindsey, all while his friends are killed by a masked murderer. By confronting the evil within human nature, I hope to help people conquer their inner darkness.
