I've been busy archiving IMDb posts to an alternative board, so I've been super busy. And I just now saw this.

Monster and/or cannibal. I'll see what I can do with it. I've got a seed of an idea: What if a literal monster became President? It would be a unique enough twist.

I already know this could be a bit out of my comfort zone, but I'll roll with it. Better than nothing, I suppose.

Scratch that, I have a better idea, one I can theoretically do justice within two weeks. I'm switching to cannibal. A food critic uncovers the dark truth about a burger joint that has never gotten a bad review... Or else. Works for me.

A group of mismatched individuals, joined by a similar birthmark, are invited to a plush meat connoisseur's get-together.

Dunno. It's got Howling 5 written all over it, but this is my initial idea, haha.

Sounds awesome. Lol. Run with it.

This has the potential for some good, campy fun. Curious where you take it.

Not able to play this time.

I will try and read and give feedback.

I haven't had much time and am travelling tomorrow but I suppose as the genres aren't my type of thing my focus has been weaker.

If I was going to look at something I had the idea of a disturbed ex alcoholic (sounds fun I know) seeing his AA meeting devoured by themselves as metaphor for how a drug can consume its host.

I thought of having these AA meetings descend into these violent episodes only to be figments of his imagination but with us left unsure whether the last one was real - blood on his hands etc

All the best

Cannibal? Hell I could re-submit my very first Scarefest script 'Meat Pies' lol.

Hoping to get one written but as usual time just slips away and I've not even started yet!

I haven't started yet, either.

I am 10 pages in.  I had to cut out a lot from the movie idea so that I could fit the story in the page limit.  Sadly, one of the biggest strengths of the story, the paranoia, had to go.

Imagine the Thing or the Hidden without all the paranoia.
I hope I can do my idea justice.

PS. Will we be able to list it before the deadline?

Do you mean submit the script? yes, you can submit before the deadline.

Sound's cool. Looking forward to great Scripts.
I think I'm going to participate too

I just saw this. Is this for someone who is wanting to film or is this just another parameter challenge similar to the OWC?

I would like a clarification on one of the rules.  Is the 15 page limit up to 15 or is 15 and a half pages OK?  I'm over a bit and want to know how much to cut.
Thanks
Dan

In a 15 page script, half a page should be easy to cut just but rewording and deleting a few sentences. I recently trimmed an adaptation down from 140 pages to 101. That was tough!

Unfortunately 15 pages is the maximum, Dan.

Like Pia said, cutting it down a bit shouldn't be too difficult.

Dan, go back and cut out any "hangers". Words at the end of dialogue or actions blocks that take up an entire line by themselves. That should be an easy way to cut out half a page or more.
