FOR SATAN - short, horror, 14 pgs (revised draft) - A group of thrill-seekers explore a creepy old house on Halloween night. Think you know this story? Think again.
Okay, I know a lot of people are going to be asking questions, so I'll try to think of all of them here and beat them to the punch.
1. Here in the U.S., we think of sewers as those big (or small) pipes running underground carrying all sorts of foul things, primarily human waste and other nasty things. I take it this is what you're shooting for, and not something in a sewage treatment plant or above ground drainage systems. The reason I ask is that each country has their own system, and some, none at all (or very primitive).
2. I take the majority of the action (comedy) needs to take place in the sewer or be integral to the story, much like the whistle has to be integral to the story. But other parts of the story can take place outside the sewer as well.
3. In all parts of the challenge, the page limit is still 5 pages.
4. Comedy has to be the primary driving force of the script, but other elements, like drama, can be a part of the script as well? Like a dramedy?
Anything else I'm missing?

An utterly mediocre writer who somehow still falls bass ackwards into getting some of his scripts produced.

1. I'm willing to concede that certain countries have certain ways of doing things. As long as the location (or its equivalent) is met, or attempted, it is acceptable.
2. The entire script is not confined to the sewer if you don't want, but a good portion should be.
3. 5 pages in all rounds.
4. Of course. The script should have a comedic slant, but no comedy in history has ever been 100% comedy.
