Don's Edit: Sincere apologies for yet another cock-up. In an attempt to random "the rest' some of the scripts got mis-attributed. I've gone back and fixed the error, this is the final, correct standings.
Theme: Vehicular Suspense Genre: Horror Challenge: The majority of your screenplay must heavily feature some sort of vehicle AND have at least one sequence of prolonged suspense. But that's not all. This OWC has a twist. Gore is to be kept to a minimum. Put readers on the edge of their seat with suspense, don't shock them with disturbing gore.
