150 Script Challenge Script #12 The Omen (1976)

150 Script Challenge: The Omen (1976)

In this episode of the 150 Script Challenge, we explore The Omen — David Seltzer’s chilling script that brought biblical prophecy and psychological dread into one of the most iconic horror films of its era.

We’ll break down:

How the script uses atmosphere and suggestion more than gore.

The role of fate and inevitability in building tension.

Why Damien’s presence feels terrifying even in silence.

Key choices that make The Omen as much a psychological thriller as a supernatural one.

This journey is part of my mission to explore 150 scripts — learning, sharing, and celebrating the art of screenwriting.

✨ Starting November 1st, I’m launching a Script Analysis Masterclass — where we’ll go deeper into screenwriting choices and what writers can learn from cinematic greats. Stay tuned for details, or email me at mysticscribe70@gmail.com
to get early info.
