"Horror, Thriller, Action, Adventure."

Does it have to be all the genres or not?

"No Comedy, no pissers, no Drama."

Short for 'pisstake'. As in a parody. It's become part of SS language since I mentioned it a couple of years back, lol

The setting of the Pacific Northwest has to be important and be present, especially since most of the script will be set outside.

Pretend a production company located in the Pacific Northwest contacted SS and presented this challenge, saying the film will be shot on location in the Pacific Northwest.

You may want to look into exactly what the Pacific Northwest is and what features makes it unique.  Many think of it as Washington and Oregon, but upper California and even British Columbia are included.  Hell, I think some say Idaho is included, but I'm not sure why exactly.

I remember the millions of pine trees and redwoods we drove through! I also recall gettiting shitfaced at Lone Eagle reservation casino in Washington, lol.  We also ran out of petrol in the snow near Easton, east of Seattle.

It can be either Horror, action, adventure, or thriller.  Or, it can be a combination of some or all of these.

Pissers are so bad they're funny, like SciFy or Asylum movies.

For a perfect example, check out my scripts No Meat, Wolves at the Door, or any of The Cabin/Cannibal scripts, al in older OWC threads.

Another silly question, can this be set on the coast, or at the sea?

There no silly questions.

As long as it's set in the Pacific Northwest, it can be anywhere...land, sea, mountains, valleys, forests, cities, or in "The Cabin", as long as the locale comes into play.

Don't know why I immediate think of Twilight when this area of the world is mentioned - god there must be more to it than that

Actually I have supported, in a very very loose sense, the Seattle Seahawks since I was 16, maybe a time for me to visit. So if the kid is wearing a Seahawks shirt, that's mine.

Time to think.

Another silly question: Although set in the Pacific Northwest, can the setting there be fictional?  Like a fictional town or mountain?

Would acid vomit be considered a form of projectile weaponry?

Give it a week before talking about, "No silly questions."

Yes, and what about pies??  Tossed into the face?  Would those be considered projectile weaponry, as well?

Keeping in the spirit of Bert's questions:  If there's a massive shift in the tectonic plates, and the Pacific Northwest is moved to Antarctica, does that still count as the Pacific Northwest?

Seriously though, this is pretty good.  I just hope there aren't a lot of scripts set at the same location.
