I've read the first 6 pages and I don't see how people think it's bad, who cares about a couple grammer errors unless the writer cares

The first 6 pages are imaginative, if it's based off of Texas chainsaw but not really you shouldn't put that in there unless it's just like it later on i don't see a reason to mention that

What do yall think if I wrote a Axe Mutilation Prequl, showing how Amy came to the Farm?

I'm still writing it, if some of you don't like the idea, but I want to know how many of you like the idea and how many of yall don't.

Very basice movie. Your whole craft needs.... something. You just don't graps the concept of what a "SCREENPLAY" really is. It is a picture, put into words, so we "THE READER's" can visualize what we see.

I read a few pages of it and couldn't see a damn thing, but the fact you took an idea from someone else and made it your own.

I'd like to see you write another one and really think about what is "new" what is "old" and what's been "used"

I told myself over 2 years ago.. "NEVER WRITE A MOVIE THAT SEEMS TO DONE"

I get the feeling you write just to write. And that's good, but it also can't be taken serious when you do it that way.

If I'm writting something and I see it going the way of "POP CULTURE CRAP" like all new horror movies and comedy.... I will simply erase what I have and go from scratch, untill I find my niche.

I have wrote 2 trilogy's and seven other screenplays. One being a "SUPER MARIO BRO's" movie... Nintendo had read it and declined to release it's movie rights, but hey, it's still a great film... even if, we've seen him before.

See, I didn't take another idea and make it mine. I took someone else's idea and made it better.

Keep writting.

I didn't take someone else's idea. That based off thing was the beginning only. Where the narrator is talking. That is it. The rest of the film is my own ideas.

But thanks. What trilogy's have you wrote?

I have wrote the "CANYON TRILOGY" the first just being posted today and then "What a long strange trip it's been - TRILOGY"

Coffin Canyon and the other 2 are ZOMBIE westerns, set in a fictional utah desert.

W.A.L.S.T.I.B. is in the vien of creepshow & the twilight zones... Real good stuff in these movies. 15 stories across the 3 movies, that have never been done before.

I hope to be able to post them... I just registered them with the W.G.A. and got my copyrites in place. The name gave me a bit of a hassle, but as many of you know... a name cannont be copyrited in most cases.

I hope you give Canyon a look though... I'll be looking forward to seeing AXE M. 2 from you.

Cool. I'll give Canyon a lokk right now. Axe Mutilation 2: The Beginning will be ot soon, after i finish writing Camp Dead Remake.

Also, the grammer error's these guys are talking about are moot. They are not that big of a distraction. You miss-used a few common words that are often thought to be something else.... we all do it.

TUFF---TOUGH
To --- Too -- Two
Their -- Their's -- There's -- They're

You get the point.... You right good. You have a good style. You just need to spark some of your creativity on something epic, something your's and something new.

I'm not saying you copied every single snipit from the TCM, like these other guys are. I did see the beginning and some of the first couple pages that way. Everything else.... it just needs a little more diversity.

I really want to read what you come up with for the second one... I think with some time and some working out, you could make it really good. If all else fails, go back to the 3 act--postcard--plot point way.

Fill each act with as much new as possible.
act 1 - act 2 - act 3

"Right" was supposed to be write...

Here i am talking about grammer and can't even do it right myself...

The script is the same as almost everyone you see. I like this one though. This would probably be the best work that I have seen fro Casey. Here's some advice though, leave it alone. Don't make a sequel. It's perfect the way it is.

My main problems with this screenplay are simple... "I went back and read it with a more open mind"

These "TEENS" are in a bar drinking...   ???

The Car wouldn't be going any slower, had it been full or almost empty...  ???

Steven is what, White or black?

Why would ERIN be with ROB and just up and go it alone on a dark road by herself? Better yet why would he let her go alone on a dark gravel road alone? "OKAY" is all he can mutter, nope! I don't buy it.

The ax killer just comes down and killes beth to quick. Why did he even let her live?

Where did ROB find GAS?

Why does ERIN not care that her friends are dead? "ARE CAR GAVE OUT ON GAS AND SOME GUY WITH AN AXE KILLED THEM"?? Alright.

The scene where she is picked up by the gas station guy just screams out "HOUSE OF A THOUSAND CORPSES"

This movie just screams TCM and HOATC and TCM3

It just does. It's got it's fair share of problems. I'm glad I went back thru it with a more open mind, it was an entertaining read and one many horror writers should check out.

Don't get discouraged. It's not bad by no means. It's just gotta find it's own face.

Make sure the follow up is something new and refreshing to the genre and above all else, yourself.

I think the TCM remake had a great way to set up the story and how they get where they get without it being to "Lets go to this old house and see what's inside" Of course they do that but at least not right away

Those of you who LIKED Axe Mutilation, what would you like to happen or what what you like to go down in this prequal? I would like to know, cause when I do this, I want people to enjoy it cause there was things they liked and wanted in it, so let me know anything you think of, and I will keep a file on it to when I begin on it.

I think Casey needs to stop writing for awhile. He has ideas, some are good and some are terrible. His ideas have all been done before. If you go to Blockbuster I'm sure you're going to see tons of movies like his. What I think you should do is sit down and think really hard about a really good idea. Something that hasn't been done. Or it could be done with like a twist and all that good stuff.

What would yall like to see go down in the prequal? This is before Erin and her frineds. The one where Amy is killed. Give me some ideas of what you would like to happen.

I think there should be:

* alot of topless girls running around for no reason
* characters that speak shakesperean
* a bit of necrophilia
* an old lady that saves the day
* a talking automobile

Don't like the suggestions? Then you shouldn't ask. You're supposed to surprise us so we say "oohh I didn't expect that to happen"

Why don't you take the very best characters and scenes from a number of your scripts and combine them?

or

try writing a totally different genre to challenge yourself.
