Write a 4 to 7 page (not including the title page) properly formatted short script. Theme: "Creature Feature" Genre: horror, thriller, suspense, noir, or keeping with the season Rating: PG (no cursing or excessive violence) Challenge: Create a three page comic. Each scene would be one panel of a comic. And there could be one to 7 panels per page. Visit HyperEpics.com to help you visualize your action slugs. Submit your script anonymously to SimplyScripts.com/OWCNotes to the writer: Be descriptive with the visual cues, but leave the artist some room for creative interpretation. Also, be mindful of space constraints. Avoid extended sequence of dialogue/narration so that you don't overwhelm the images. You only have three pages at your disposal in the comic, so use page one as establishing the story, page two is where the action takes place, and the third page offers the conclusion. Surprise or twist endings will work well in this format. Lastly - be bold. Don't be constrained by budget as anything you imagine can be drawn into a comic format! One script will be selected by HyperEpics.com from the pool of top Writer's Choices to be translated into a comic. Note: If your script is selected to be translated into a comic you agree to allow Hyper Epic and SimplyScripts to publish the visual representation of your script to their respective sites. The writer will still retain all rights to the submitted screenplay. Writer will be credited with “Story by”. There will be a review page emailed to you for you to score the scripts you read. Please only give scores to scripts that you have read. Please do not rate scripts in your review. Schedule: Friday 10/12 - Theme and Genre release Friday 10/19 - Scripts due 11:59 pm edt Wednesday 10/24 - Writers Choice votes due November 10 - Writers Choice and Hyper Epic's choice revealed ( This isn't a contest - it’s a challenge. There are no official prizes… You may submit more than one script but it’s better to write one GREAT script than two or three mediocre ones. You may also have a writing partner. You can revise your script as many times as you wish up until the deadline. Do not put your real name on your script – this is an anonymous challenge. However, please use your real name when submitting your script. After the challenge closes you can either have your script removed or resubmit your script with your name on it. Participants are strongly encouraged to read and comment/review the other scripts submitted. Please put © on your title page. Best of luck and I hope everyone enjoys this challenge. --> |

Sorry if I’m being dumb, but on the one hand it says write a standard formatted script. 4/7 pages etc. This I understand.
On the other hand, create a three (different page length ) page comic. So I assume this is a separate document??
I am struggling to see how these match up.
Any examples of this blend that we could see to understand?
Thanks |

I'm interested in some input from Bill's query.
As one of the uninitiated I kinda get it, kinda don't, re the three page and then optional 4 to 7 page model.
I looked at the website examples and they are strong on the Narrator format i.e., running commentary.
Creature Feature horror comic, but more or less G-rated as well, like Godzilla I suppose. Interesting, but not sure it's up my alley.

Quoted from DustinBowcot PG horror? |
Yeah, there's plenty of that. It's like horror-lite I suppose. The Blog, The Swarm, old fashioned horror features like The Day Of The Triffids, King Kong, Godzilla. Only so far a horror comic can really scare you, surely. |

I don't see how anything can be scary if there hasn't been some explicit violence to indicate just how afraid one should be.
A poltergeist is just an annoying joke until it kills somebody. The more violently the victim is dispatched, the more everyone should be afraid.
I may try this... I just need to find the time with everything else I'm doing.
For anyone struggling with the format here, my advice, for what it's worth, is to write a normal script and leave the creators of the graphic novels to take what's important... much like a director does with the screenplay. Our job is mainly story, usually. That's how I'd handle it if I entered this, but I could be wrong. |

We had a PG horror challenge in the past. And the writer's choice was pretty impressive.
But I'm with Libby - it's hard to factor in the comics for me. That's why I won't be able to write for it. |

As Dustin said write a story first and worry about translation later... but for what it’s worth my understanding is that it takes 4-7 pages of script format to tell three comic pages’ worth of story. A panel is more or less one action sequence, of which several might fit into a traditional screenplay scene. It looks like Don is asking us to break things up so there’s just one action sequence per written scene. I like the idea and the chance to get it made, but as expected the October subject matter is a tough one for me personally. For writers who absoluy can’t write squeaky clean, you might be able to have a character yell “$@&#!” |

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.
All that means is we write with a few more restrictions, but the budget is unlimited. You can have literally anything happen, any effect, any time period, any setting. And these shorts will be well suited for animation or even getting filmed if you still keep the budget grounded.
You also don’t have to write that way. The OWC is a short script, and will be read and voted on based on its merits as a short script. If it isn’t suited for adaptation it won’t be picked, but it could still win the OWC. |

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! |

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. |

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. |

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. |

What a great idea for a challenge! As I've already got two up there I'll pass on this so others can have a go at getting their work translated to a comic format. Good luck to everyone and I'll try to read/comment on the scripts. |

Definitely one of the better OWCs I've seen in quite some time. I don't mind the PG rating. I go by the Gremlins 2 standard of PG. Plus there's been a children's horror OWC before, which I thought was a success as far as I can remember.
Tempted to join. I haven't written anything in two years. I can take the beating in context, but I have to admit: taking it silently for weeks on end for my first effort getting back on the horse doesn't appeal to me. Plus my October has been/will continue to be a merciless tempest of work.
Anyway. Good stuff. |

I took a shortcut and just rewrote an old story from memory. And since my memory isn’t the greatest (who can recall all their stories in great detail?), the story has turned out to be almost completely different. |

I want to play as well, but haven't even spent 5 seconds thinking about it.
Schlammied all weekend and today was busy as shit, and we have MNF on this evening.
But, at only 4-7 pages, this should be very simple, especially with basically no parameters to worry about. I'll get something in. |

I don't watch as much football as i used to. the taco salad i fixed up the day before last is a gourmet meal to me. I'm always shitfaced. hahaha anyway, if some of the posts in this thread are true, it's highly possible that some of these early subs may be, in whole or in part, thought up or considered by the writer to be part of the 7wk anthology challenge. My entry I didn't really consider for the 7wk, because it's under 10 pages. But I still might include it anyway. |

I don't see why not, Cindy. As long as it fits the parameters of this challenge. I have a feature I wrote maybe seven or so years ago that I was considering using as an idea. Obviously too long to cut down to less than seven pages, but I like the idea of it. |

Well, this is Don's show. He sets the rules, but since he has not chimed in, I would assume what I said is okay. |

So, would rewriting an old 20 page creature script down to a 7 pager or less be ok? Working too many hours lately. |

It's something that didn't cross my mind, I got more that enough of those, but I wouldn't dare gut half of it. When I think of OWCs I think of something new on the fly. There's also some shorts I have that would fit the parameters...but what would be the point of being anonymous, And what would be the point of a challenge? I could have used one of my werewolf stories, the giant bees, the gargoyle in the cemetery, etc. But I chose to write a new story. One I actually kind of like. (which means nothing because most of us...y'know...like what we cook up) |

I'm out after all as I want to concentrate all my efforts on the other one. One other reason - I thought I'd submit a part of my gurza story here but it would not even be anonymous. So, it's a pass for me this time. But I'm submitting something to the other one. 43 pages in and have more of a story to tell. Hope to see some of you there!) |

Oh super Wow. I am in Spain but this is awesome! I would LOVE to have something like this to pitch a feature I am working on. I was thinking of hiring an illustrator to put together a graphic pitch that sounds similar to this format.
Can we format it like a graphic novel? I see in Final Draft there is a template for such. |

I think it would be a good exercise to have the option try the comic format. |

Yes, you can format it like a graphic novel, but it is not required. Don |

Dangit. Just saw this. I need to get back to checking this site every day or so.
Busy day tomorrow, but if an idea comes to me in the middle of the night, I'll write it up.
Shoot. Would've loved to give this several days of work.

I haven't looked at mine since writing it. No time today. Hopefully, I will get a couple of hours to polish it tomorrow before the deadline. |

Nothing has come to me, and it's sadly looking like I'm out. For me, this was just too open...and too few pages to really build a story and characters. You never know...maybe something will come to me and I'll whip it out. |

I wrote my first draft yesterday. I figure it's 26 panels, too much. Cutting time.
I'll be in it for sure. |

Sadly, it's not gonna happen for me. Been on the phone all morning and just don't have anything in mind to throw out here.
I'll read and comment, though, but won't be entering.
Best of luck to all who do. |
