Hey Guys,
I'm starting my own horror series titled Scarefest. Think 'Tales from the Crypt' or 'Masters of Horror', where every episode/script is a different story by a different writer. I was hoping that I could get all of the horror writers here on S.S. to do an episode.
Each script should be about 10-15 pages. No real rules out side of that other than it must have a strong horror element.
If anyone is interested in writing an episode, please submit you script to me at golemcreep@yahoo.com
If you are interested please let me know here so that I can list you as involved.
NOTE:Just because you submit your script to me doesn't mean it'll be an episode in Scarefest. I won't take just anything... So please, don't send me something you wrote in one sitting. We have plenty of time.
Here's a list of who is involved.
Zack Akers - The Drifter Sniper- Premonitions Zombie Sean- New Message Mr. Ripley- My Valentine ADerr Blakkwolfe- Sanctus Sécrétus Murphy alffy
Those who are involved, please talk about it here than through pms/emails... I hate pms and emails...
If you have a nasty little idea rumbling around in your head, turn it into a 10-15 script and get it to me!
~Zack~ |

So Zack,
How long do we have to come up with a script?
I mean I have a couple ideas, but nothing solid yet.

A month would be really good since I do work a full time job, but I'm going to start jotting down ideas, and I'll get the script to you when it's done. |

Hey Guys, So please, don't send me something you wrote in one sitting. We have plenty of time. |
Good note, Zack. This is VERY VERY important. You should continue to stress this point forever. Do NOT burn through your script. Think it out...wait a while before submitting it and subsequent drafts almost immediately after finishing them. WAIT...WAIT...WAIT. ***On a side note, I'm developing Laughfest, and I'm hoping to work with other comedic writers to produce some really innovative stuff. Think "Man Getting Hit in Groin with Football"*** |

I'm not one of the resident horror guys but it is a genre that I always love to take a shot at. So, mind if I take a shot at it?
...Shelton, I'd love to take a shot at that Laughfest also. |

No set date,... yet. You have at least a month to write the script and submit it to my email. Good luck.
Also, quick note(to everyone, not just Gabe)... Obviously you are allowed to call your script what ever you please, however "Scarefest Presents" must be before the title.
Example: SCAREFEST PRESENTS: The Mad Man
Any questions?

Even if it wasn't, he could just submit it on it's own. Sure, he wouldn't have the distinction of being a part of the Scarefest craze, but people will read it nonetheless. Maybe even more since it's not lumped into a series.

Zack, how are you going to be sending in the scripts? Are you going to be sending them in all at once? Or each one separately as they finish? I think you should send them all in at once due to the fact that sending them in separately as each one is finished would cause Don to work a lot more than he should.

I think then it would not be a series but more a really long feature. Wouldn't it? But this is a good point that should be cleared up?

I agree. That would be unfair to Don. Myabe we'll release a few scripts every month... I know that I don't want to put 2 or more episode into one script. Every episode will be its own script.

I already have a story lined up and I'll probably start on it after the OWC. I really want to write it as if it were an actual episode of a TV show, so it might be 25-35 pages long. Is that okay? |

Hmm...this story can't be told in 15 pages, so I guess I'll save it for another day.
Back to the drawing board. |

I agree about the approval thing. It doesn't seem like it'll work.
On another note... I've decided that the 1rst season of Scarefest will only be 8 episodes. A writer can only write one episode per season, which means 8 writers. We have 6. There are only 2 spots left, so first come, first serve.
Sorry Hoody. Just make that idea into an independent script and do something different for Scarefest.

Why? Write the script the way you want to and submit it. The only difference is that it will be in the shorts section as "Your Title", instead of in the series section under "Scarefest: Your Title" |

Shelton is absolutly right, Hoody. Don't toss the idea aside because it doesn't meet the requirments for Scrarefest.
I've dropped the approval thing, but what I said earlier about rushing a script into me still stands. Take your time.... Once you've finished your script, set it aside for a few days and then come back to it. You may have different feelings about it.

I do plan on writing it. I'll probably keep it in a television format cause it has the 3 acts and will only work as a 30 pager -- unless I drag it to feature length, which I won't.
A 10-15 page horror short should be no problem for me. I can and most likely will write it in one sitting but if I didn't just tell you now, you'd never notice....that doesn't mean I'll write it and submit it an hour later. I'll probably let it sit for a couple days and then come back and revise it 'til I feel it's ready for the world. |

It's okay to write a script in one sitting... but it's not okay to write a script in one sitting and then say it's finished. Go over it a few times. Write another draft. And then, once you think it's finally finshed... write another draft.
Please remember to send me the title of your script once you have one.

What you can do is submit half of it in one episode for this series (or wherever you can find a good cliffhanger for the first half) and then you can submit the other half as a continuation to submit for the next series submission. Just a suggestion. Sean |

Good luck and have fun.
