Quoted from Scar Tissue Films
Does the script shadow thing have to be low budget?


I think so, especially as it will be made.

Of course what is a low budget is open to debate and something can look good but be cheap - I'm sure you know well more than me on this

I'm certainly looking to enter low budget, simple location type scripts.

Others may take a different route.

Quoted from Dreamscale
That's not a good draw at all, and my fears for this challenge are now realized.

"Monster" is too generic, as peeps are already asking redonkulous questions about if this or that is a monster.

"Cannibal" is the opposite of monster, in that it's too specific, and every single script will revolve around the same plot points, maybe even setting.

ARGH!!!!


It's definitely a tough draw, but that is what makes it a challenge. You guys can do it.

Well, I was just clarifying....some people don't consider monsters the same way...like I would consider 'humans' to be monsters. So what I was asking was are we talking about traditional monsters or not?

I don't want to start writing one thing only for everyone to go...no a deranged elephant isn't a monster......

Yeah, but as I said, the 2 sub genres do not go hand in hand at all, meaning, it's one or the other.

The "monster" genre is simple, as there are really a limitless supply of monsters, but it's also so open, peeps may say, "that's not a monster".

Yeah, agreed, and that's the problem here.

But, IMO, "monster" refers to almost anything, but I wouldn't include regular old psychos (humans" to be monsters in this regard.

A giant alligator?  Sure.

Some creature that is unknown?  Sure.

The usual breed of monsters, like werewolves or the like?  Yep.

Aliens?  Tough call, but the "alien" in the Alien movies are definitely monsters!

Yeah Aliens are a tough one for sure, in the realm of monsters.

I would assume if an alien arrives from a crashed meteor and starts eating people, it's a monster.  If it arrives on a ship and starts laser blasting people, it's sci-fi.

I think this challenge just may call for me going "back to the cabin".

Elijah, the hermit cannibal may make a return appearance!!

I  am having issues narrowing it down to 1 choice.  Since this isn't anonymous, I'd like some advice.  
I have so main choices.  

Monster vs monster.

An ID type creature

A supernatural creature decides to destroy the entire life of the person who imprisoned it years ago.

I have others, but IMO those are the best.

Thanks
Dan
