Quoted from DarrenJamesSeeley
Why do I get the feeling that...at least one script will have the scream come from the late night horror movie playing on the television?



It just occurred to me - I never said the scream had to be human, did I?

I wonder how creative people will get with the scream. I'm using it in a pretty creative way, or at least I hope so. Lol

Got 7 solid pages and the action is just about to ramp the fuck up.

Where are you at, Jeff? You get a draft knocked out yet?

And what about you, Matt Taylor? You in, Dude?

Oh, hmm okay...

After the challenge I'll be interested in what inspired the challenge perameters, Stevo.

The after-party scenario is an interesting choice given the standard would have been the actual party as drama/horror.

It’s pretty simple really. I chose after the party because I thought during the party would have just gotten things too cluttered, too many characters, too much shit going on. I wanted  a couple to hear the scream because, let’s face it, bad shit usually happens when no one else is around. That’s when I thought, well what if only one of them hears the scream.

I explained to Bill earlier that this was kind of set up this way to make it easier to film - most likely one location, low character count and, of course, horror.

Other than that, there really was no grand scheme. I feel lucky I was able to come up with anything at all.

It’s all Pia’s fault!

Nah, I'm out. Not a fan of writing horror and I should really concentrate on the many other projects I have started and not finished

I will jump into the reading though

Two steps to writing a good screenplay:
1) Write a bad one
2) Fix it

Last minute reminder, and only because I just now noticed, but on the submission page you can scroll through a list of all the horror sub genres. So if you wanted to do, say, a Faith Based/Family Horror, you’re good.

I haven't started yet.  I also haven't really thought about it since I came up with the idea over the weekend.

I'd like to say I'll write it today, but I bet I'll actually get to it tomorrow...hopefully sooner than later.
