A step-by-step course on creating the foundation for seasonal attractions through the power of words. Theme parks and large-scale production companies require detailed analyses that define and articulate creative visions.

As students you will obtain a fundamentally sound understanding of how large-scale Halloween theme park attractions are written in the form of treatments, scripts, and synopses.
