The stories will blend -

Example - if one character is rushed to the hospital that will blend into another short that takes place in a hospital.

Same with a newscast - that may blend into another story.

I agree that if the writers collaberate and put their imput that this could go over really well.

Already some of the best zombie writers on this site have expressed interest in writing for this.

Personally the idea came about when I was thinking -most zombie flicks have entire towns being overrun but only focus on a select few people.
The anthology is trying to get the entire perpective and different angles.

So the first question to ask - where should this take place?

For everyone who wants to be involved in this - make note of landmarks and characters that may interact with the general populance.

I.E if you have a journalist in your story PM the other writers about them. Or if there's a landmark and geographical areas.

make a list of all the writers involved... that would be a lot of help to everyone

Sure -

Here are the people who have expressed in writing for this film.

The Goose
R.E Freak
Balt
Andrew Roby

St. Looooooouis Missouri..

Cause if so..  I have 4 nearly 5 short zombie scripts for you to choose from..

In the horror section see Relapse of the Dead..  I wrote it as 4 short films and put them together..  And if you are intersted in using those..  I can easily change them to coinside with someone else's script.

wow... we posted at exactly the same time

Sure St. Louis - why not.

"Relapse of the Dead" that was innovated as hell.
PM me with a synopsis.

So I can put you down as a possible writer?

You live in St. Louis, LOL

I live in Kansas City, strange world... small at times, really small.  How's the arch?  

I think you should base it in a small mountain town... it's big enough to populate and have the up to date current settings, but it also has the looming mountains and pine trees around to give you an isolated feeling, like... if it were to be bombed or nuked or whatever... Life would still go on around.  Maybe give into the fact that the outbreak might be containable, if everyone works together.

I dunno... I see a mountain-like back drop, large pine trees around, sprawled out city, not a concrete jungle... somewhere like Oregon or Seattle... to the extent, maybe.

Anyways, I'm pretty interested in the way this has evolved and seemingly overnight.  This has potential if you get a group of hard rock talent on board, really.  People who know the genre and people who can scare you with words and thoughts.

I think you're gonna have to set up rules and guide lines -

What writers stories go with what
What writers need to be paired together
How to tie them all together
Do any characters from one story blend into anothers story, if so, you gotta lot of work in that cause the other writer might not know that character and will need to read the respected story.

See, it's a task at hand, but one 4 or 5 writers could easily get together on and pound out and make brilliant.  

I have full faith in R.E. to make something gel, so you got one money shot for sure.

Good thoughts~

C.K.

Sure..  I'm in a talk with a producer at the moment who is interested in the script..  But if that all goes under I want to do something with it.. and I like your idea..

So yeah put me down..  I could write something else as well..

I was working on a script called Shudder were a guy is trapped inside his large apartment complex as a zombie epidemic spreads.. and he decides to just stay in there.

Or another one where prisoners are left behind as the epidemic starts and they make the prison the fortress and try to defend it from the undead..  I like the irony in that story..  they use to want to get out real bad.. and now they decide to stay..

anyway..  i could easily turn both of these into shorts and use them to someway..  rawr..

Well I like your treatment - and this is coming along great.

So the writers involved are:

Andrew Roby

Balt

The Goose

R.E Freak

Shudder

The writers can decide who they want to collaberate with.

But as just a suggestion here's the writers that I think may work for the horror film.

Balt, Andrew Roby

R.E Freak, Shudder
