maybe.
One takeaway is letting the audience know who the villain is in advance, and the "good" characters won't know until it's too late.

Yep. Dramatic irony. Works very well in Horror especially.

I'm intrigued, but I've been a little involved with Seinfeld and The Sopranos, preparing to watch The Many Saints of Newark. Plus, I'm pretty much always watching something every single day (new stuff, classics released before my lifetime, and making up for 35 years of lost time). On top of all this, I've already been writing a script with such a character, but haven't actively worked on it in a while.

I guess I'll consider my options.

Ooh I bet this OWC is going to be absolutely rammed!

This OWC has reminded me of an idea I played around with a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away. This may be the perfect opportunity for me to explore it.

I have to bow out of this one as well. Can't come up with an idea.

But I will contribute by reading the entries.

Me too. Usually some silliness comes to me right away. Not this time

Alright. Challenge accepted.

I'm definitely in!

Didn't get chance to write over the weekend and that's my writing time, but I'll see if I can do something in-between work. Not giving up yet.

I've been going over the notes I wrote for the idea I'm hoping to base this script on and the date of the document is 2000! Bloody hell I feel old.

So, the genre says Halloween, the topic is villain and it can be comedy, drama, horror, etc. I’m guessing that the time frame has to be Halloween or somewhere near the holiday? If so, how much does Halloween factor into the story?

As much or as little as you want. Halloween doesn't have to be a integral factor in the plot. At the very least it has to be mentioned or alluded to in someway.

Thanks for clearing that up.

Only a couple more days... Who all is in?

Not looking good for me. Damn, two challenges in a row!
