Good evening everyone,
I am looking to option a horror film for my production company. Script needs to be atleast one draft away from shooting, can be made for less then 100k, and shot in less then 20 days.

If you are a writer, please dont recommend your own script. We all love our own products, im a writer too. I would to hear from someone who has read a number of scripts on here and can give me a few choices. Please respond here or send me a private message. Thanks!

I don't read any horror here but I do know that if you want horror  James McClung would be your man. He is here somewhere.

can't remember he's horror scripts but he has a short posted here if you go to the thread you will be able to private message him.

Red Light is another I can think of. here is the link

Maybe you could shed some light on what type of horror you're looking for? Slasher, psychological, goth etc.

See, folks (**sniffle**), he really is just a big softie, after all...

Thanks, Phil -- but "Farm" is already under option -- like some of the other vets around here, however, I don't believe in tooting horns until the process is waaaay further along.  But I guess I should come out and say it now.

I asked the guy about pulling it down, and he didn't really care one way or other, so I haven't gotten around to it yet.  Interested parties might want to look before he changes his mind, though.

Agreed.  If you want zombies, for example, God knows we can help you out there....

Congrats on The Farm.

Desecration by Mike Shelton is pretty cool and could be made on a low budget

Bert's got a short set in a mall. The name escapes my mind at the moment.

Zombie Sean is the zombie expert if your into that.

Can you be a bit more specific in what you are looking for? Like page wise, and what type of horror?


Just Murdered by Sean Elwood (Zombie Sean) and Gabriel Moronta (Mr. Ripley) - (Dark Comedy, Horror) All is fair in love and war. A hopeless romantic gay man resorts to bloodshed to win the coveted position of Bridesmaid. 99 pages.

To all:

Thanks for the responses! You are right, I should have clarified more. Not zombies please. No offense, I just worked on a movie called "Zombieland" in Atlanta and am zombied out. Love more of a psychological terror or a great "Monster-In-The-House"

Thanks again!
