Well, if you're going to play in a circus...someone has to be the Ringleader and everyone else are clowns,

Another fabulous challenge Libby.

Quoted Text I'm not sure 8mm is classed as an Erotic Thriller.

Um...how about Jagged Edge? Another good one too.

Yes! Love Jagged Edge.
Was going to use a jagged-edge knife blade in the clues - thought it too obvious.

Still, my clues were not obvious enough.  

Hope you guys will be in!

Getting in the mood...watching Basic Instinct

Hmm. Wonder if Against All Odds qualifies as erotic thriller? I think so. Def one of my favorites...

I am not ready for OWC, but definitely it is a good genre. I will try to read all of them. Good luck to all.

Quoted from SAC Hmm. Wonder if Against All Odds qualifies as erotic thriller? I think so. Def one of my favorites...

Hmm, is it?

Steve, I looked it up and found this classic one-liner from Roger Ebert.

There have been too many sweet girls in thrillers. What we need are more no-good, double-dealing broads who can cross their legs and break your heart...

Of course this was pre Basic Instinct & Fatal Attraction.  

Struggling...a couple thoughts but nothing blowing my skirt up. And that's exactly what I need is an idea that tickles my fancy for this challenge. Not sure I'm going to make this deadline.

Quoted from LC Rick, I'm not sure 8mm is classed as an Erotic Thriller. Snuff themed films fall under a different genre - Horror imho. Btw, I did a search for Short films - Erotic Thrillers, (research, of course)   and came up with three, and one was an Erotic Horror.

No no, lol… I definitely don’t wanna go that route (snuff), I was just thinking out loud previously re: 8mm film and having an idea about (someone) finding some with questionable content, but now that I let that cat out of the bag, I’ll have to put the kybosh on that idea… for now.

Ditto, man. I haven’t written a single word, yet. I have an idea, I love the genre, I just need to get motivated…

Hmm, just discovered this OWC, 4 days late...

I'm 15 pages into writing a feature that should shoot in April...

Day job is super busy...

Definitely don't really have time for a diversion...

Erotic Thriller, never written one, or even close...

But I do love a good OWC

You can all do it!

You know you want to.    

Quoted from LC You can all do it! You know you want to.

No, no I don't want to.
I don't mind if it's closer to a film noir feel. ] I guess a better influence is something off The Murder Channel (ID Discovery) and the tabloid style true crime. Or maybe After Dark My Sweet or China Moon.

But it also depends on my mental state. Could I pull it off? Maybe.
Do I really want to write the OWC? My heart and soul isn't in it.

Well, do a film noir-ish one then, Darren. A lot of Erotic Thrillers owe their inspiration and style to that genre.

It's a challenge but that's what OWCs are about.

Just be thankful it doesn't include the parameters Stevie just mentioned to me:
- A dwarf, a scuba tank or a homing pigeon.

Wow, you can hear a pin drop around here. I hope you're all hard at it. No pun intended.  
Writing up a storm I mean.

A certain person just told me the link is not active for the OWC entries. And my apologies the dates are not up yet for when scripts will be posted,  & voting etc.

I'll PM Don to confirm.

I got nothing yet. Holding onto hope that I still might get inspired.

I can't write. I'm going through midlife crisis. It just sad to me that it had to strike during this OWC. This is like the best theme ever. Something I would have never attempted if it wasn't a task. Well, too bad. I'm sure there will be enough callers and a lot to read though. I'll be reading!
