Great. I liked this a lot. It deserves to get made and will definitely get a few chuckles. Nothing new here, but it's a good example of the genre.

Hi Luis,

SPOILERS - Sort of


Quoted Text
KATE
You know, I don’t scare easily. I’ve
watched the first two seasons of ‘Are
you Afraid of the Dark?’ with my kids.
I own both ‘Ghostbusters’ movies on
Blu-ray. I even went on the Seven
Dwarfs Mine Train at Disney World...
Twice.



Quoted Text
Billy begins pounding his head on the fridge.



Quoted Text
An oblivious Patrick sits on the kitchen bar, headphones blasting
music, newspaper opened in front of him. Sharon gets dragged violently
towards the hallway by an invisible force.
SHARON
(screaming) Dad!! DAD!! HELP ME!
Patrick bobs his head to the tune of his song.



Quoted Text
The
sound of children laughing turned into
finding Billy hanging from the
basketball hoop with a penis drawn on
his forehead.



Quoted Text
Billy sits innocently on the couch, his legs dangling off, the words
“ANTICHRIST” written on his forehead.



Quoted Text
KATE
Yesterday, Billy used my lipstick to
write a message on the mirror. He wrote
“lick”. But he spelled it like: L-L-I-K.
At first I thought he wanted to lick
something and he just didn’t know how
to spell it. But then it turns out he
was just spelling “Kill” backwards.
(pause) So there’s that.


The whole exchange about what happened in the house.

All the above mentioned quotes and point were laugh out loud funny, really great job on this one. That's how you do comedy.

Unfortunate that it got released during a challenge, really deserves a few more reads. I recommend you do a shameless bump if it gets lost on the boards when the challenge is over.

Would love to see this made.

All the best.

Again thank you for the read, I'm glad you liked it!

Once the challenge is over and the Quickie Scripts aren’t dominating the boards, just repost on your thread asking for more reads. This will shoot your thread back to the top of the pile.

People will obviously like it if you offer return reads, but that's up to you.

I'm probably going to be in the minority with this one after reading all the comments, but I actually didn't think it was all THAT funny...a few of the jokes felt way too forced, and other jokes were rehashed, nothing I haven't already seen in all the "Scary Movie" and "A Haunted House" parodies.

Don't get me wrong though, I still laughed here and there. Comedy is pretty damn tough to write and a lot of people on here can't pull it off - but you're pretty good at it. Keep it up man.

I would love to see this get filmed though... in my opinion, comedy is a lot harder to read than it is to visualize, as some of the jokes are much funnier when you see them play out.

All the best.

Thank you. All reviews are appreciated. Thanks a lot for the read. I actually thought "A Haunted House" was a terribly mis-lead movie, and i really only cared for the first Scary Movie. And you're right, comedy is very tricky to write.

Anyway. thank you.
