Watch Humor, Horror, Thrills & Chills

Roald Dahl had four rules of writing: (1) make readers laugh with weird or funny names, sounds, and nonsense words; (2) make readers squirm with outrageously disgusting things; (3) enthrall readers with magical settings; and (4) make readers tense and excited. This program shows how Dahl used all of these techniques to keep readers turning the pages of his books.
