Horror Screenwriting: UpTown Girl

Pia Diamandis

Hi there! I write horror screenplays, whether for shorts, features, or TV!

My work has been described as intense & exhilarating, with character driven plots, disgusting gore, and heart pounding scares.

I consider UpTown Girl to be my best screenplay yet.

UpTown Girl is a pilot episode to a limited horror/rom-com series. It’s my own creature/gore horror twist on popular billionaire romance trope.

Logline

Mira is a successful career woman living a picture perfect life, except for the fact that she is a Jorōgumo, a half-spider half-woman changeling who must eat men to live. Around the time her murder nest is threatened with a buyout, she goes on a date with Daniel, a sloppy serial killer looking to perfect his craft in exchange for anything money can buy.
