Quoted from ReneC This is a normal OWC. We write a short based on the criteria. The only difference is what happens with one selected script. To help the adaptation to a comic, include strong visuals in your script. The wow factor, something cool and stylish. Dialogue should be sparse, your story needs to rely on visuals more. And remember, there is no sound unless it is to be written on the comic panel, far less effective than heard on screen, and the lighting isn’t dynamic. .

This helped, thanks.

I'm all in on this OWC. Very cool challenge with a great 'prize'. Not sure why a PG-13 concerns people, it just takes some self-editing. Look at the classics from the 1930's (e.g. Frankenstein, Dracula, Mummy, etc.). We just need to refrain from necrophilia and profanity.

Don - Great challenge!

Sounds like fun, but I don't like not being able to offer up hard R rating scripts.

But...I can do it!!  

Stevie should have this in the bag, as his entire life is PG rated, at best.  

Quoted from DustinBowcot PG horror?

One of my faves is a cult/low budget from 1980 called Tourist Trap.

In addition...
House With Clock In The walls (out now, and doing fairly decent!)
Poltergeist
The Gate
Arachnophobia
Gremlins
Critters
Something Wicked This Way Comes
Jaws

and many others that have gotten a Pg 13 rating, such as A Quiet Place or the Insidious films.

Quoted from Don Rating: PG (no cursing or excessive violence)

Side note: a little bit of blood I think we can get away with. Just read Tooth Of The Matter on their site. Sure, the gore is at the end in one and a half panels, but maybe I'm flipping but it sure looks a bit bloody to me  

No excessive violence is the guideline.

Check out Mark's: The Survivor.
Bit of nasty stuff in the denouement - the rat, a little blood, and the villain.

Mark has Cyborn up there too fyi.
Great job on both, Mark.

* DJS, yes, the Tooth Of The Matter was pretty bloody at the end.

I wrote a script for this in a few hours yesterday. It's an adaptation of a short story I wrote around 25 years ago. Wow, that makes me feel old.

I'm currently doing rewrites on 2 audio drama adaptations, but will still have time for this. Rewrites are easier than the creation, in my opinion, they just feel like real work. I'm also working on a feature for myself (spec). Sometimes stories bang away at my head until I release them. They can only spend so long as captives in my mind, it seems.

So, in that respect, it will be nice to get a form of this story read by somebody other than my girlfriend. She read the short story that I originally wrote by hand on A4 paper.

I was debating since I'm concentrating on the other challenge, but after some thought, I'm in on this one anyway. I have just the story. I have my title.

The other one is a bunch of shorts tied together by a common underlining story.
What if we submit one of those shorts here. Would that be allowed?

Well I'm out then.

So long as it is 4-7 pages and suits the requirement, I don't see why not. A story adapted to a graphic novel is a different beast to the same story adapted to film.

Just completed my script.  Looking forward to this one.

Wow, that was fast, Xavier! Good luck. I might submit something to this. To this one and the other one!!
But keeping my fingers crossed.

I really want to play, but I've got nothing. I think I’ve got some serious writers block at the moment. I will read them all at the very least.

Good luck.
