I think I'm ready to post some new screenplays here. I said I wouldn't as no one really reads or reviews like they used to do, but I'm taking a chance and doing so anyways.

I've got 10 screenplays converted from sophocles this week and ready to send in. I'm asking anyone who wants to read my old material to do so and I'll review a screenplay of yours. To kinda get some buzz going again.

My 10 screenplays are as followed... and I'd like to have them all in one thread, if possible... I'll cross that bridge when it comes though...

On with the on...

-------------------
DEVILS DICE
MIDNIGHT CHIMES
THE HIT
TIMELESS
4 BLOCKS OF FEAR
JACK's TRIP
A LIMB FOR A LIE
MY DREAM BOAT
LITTLE KID, LITTLE KID, LET ME IN
SUBLIMINAL

-----------------

I've taken some of the best work from my growing libary of screenplays, some new, some older... all very very good to my standards. I don't think you've read anything like them before and I don't think you'll walk away from any of them with a wasted time feeling... trust me.

Bert, sorry it took so long getting back to you... I've already cracked your screenplay opened and am working my way thru it in my spare time today.

I'll give you a full on review when I'm done. I'm actually very jealous right now... I love your descriptions and how full of life they are, even though so little is said. I strive to write just like this... I'm very impressed with your writing so far.

I'm at the part with ANGEl's FIELD and the WINDMILL and the ANCIENT OAK TREE... I stopped thre cause it seemed like a good pause.

Love it so far, very interesting and deep. It's one that I really wish I could've read in one duration.

That's great, man.  Frankly, I was really hoping you would be up for a swap.

But you gave me nothing back. To read, I mean.  A little detective work led me to "Lady in the Window".  Looks good, so I'll start with that.

Tell me what else you want looked at.

I think the review aspect of this board is its greatest strength, and hope we can really get it jump-started with some active exchanges.

New-Posters take note.

I'll give one of your screenplays a read. You seem to know what you're talking about in terms of horror. I thought I knew a good deal but then again, I haven't seen Motel Hell, which I've only recently learned is a classic in the genre. Let me know when they're up and I'll read one.

Hey Balt,

It will be great to read some new stuff from you, its been a while.
Was wondering if these new scripts you've got are going to be connected in some way, like the WASLTIB series (Not sure if I got the name right - sorry if I didnt).

Plus, are these shorts or full length? I was curious as I still have not been able to read that Coffin Canyon script as you pulled it from the site. Any plans to put it back up?

Actually I've gotten a few e-mails from people to re-read it or to actually read it again... I will probably put it back up... I dunno. It's my baby. I love that screenplay to death and I don't mind tellin' anyone how brilliant it really is... I wrote two follow ups to it and, though still good, they just don't draw you in like COFFIN CANYON did. I've let countless people that I know read it and everyone just really gets into the characters and actually cares for them... WELL EVERYONE BUT CARVER & PACO ;)

Yeah, I might post it again or if you'd like to read it I could send it to you... I'm actually going to send WES a few screenplays that I'm not posting here to see what he thinks about some of my newer stuff.

Also, the above 10 sripts are all shorts... 24 to 35 pages. I really only write shorts... aside from a few full length movies

COFFIN CANYON
RETURN TO COFFIN CANYON
CANNIBLE CANYON: DEAD MEN TELL NO TALES
LYCANTHORPY
MOURNING AT MIDNIGHT

Then I wrote two fan fic scripts and entered one into a screen writing contest.

THE FLASH & SUPER MARIO BRO's

Those are both full length ones.

Right now I'm working on a couple more full length ones called --

JACK RABBIT (a.k.a.) THE BUTCHER BUNNY
I CRY WOLF
THE FOG OF WAR (along with a friend of mine, it's really his idea)

I also helped write TRICK-ER CREEP with the same friend. It's sprawling and very interesting for a horror movie, trust me. I wish he'd post it here for everyone to read, cause it's amazing. It has 3 paths thru it, like a choose your own adventure but deeper than that even. It'd be a DVD lovers wet dream.

Anyways, aside from about 40 more short screenplays that's my work.
