Somebody please define the rules on horror, cause I wrote a script in the WT with blood oozing from orifices, a plane crash and a character leaving a baby to die but it wasn't horrific (horror) enough. That led me to think most of you equate horror with gore?
To me, horror is something that is scary or at least trying to be scary. Simple as that.

I agree... So, define what you believe equates to horror.
That was definitely a "horrible" movie, but it was not horror.

Scary, as in "horrific", which is a few notches above just "scary".
The characters/character in a horror script, are/is put through or goes through horrific things, and as the audience, hopefully, we feel their horror, as well as the horror in the piece.

Maybe I'll just write the sequel to Mother. That was definitely a horror.
Mother! was a comedy. The movie was funny as all hell and it was a blast and definitely NOT horror.

Yep, when I said it was a horror I meant like Jeff said that it was a truly horrible mishmash of filmmaking. Glad you enjoyed it, Sean. Horses for courses.

Shockingly, I have my story in my head and even more shockingly, I'm even mapping out scenes already.

Please tell me if I am wrong. The theme is Halloween After Party. In the description, it says the party is over, after they are done cleaning the dishes and the last room is swept, a scream is heard. It is only the couple in the house, or is it?

Mike, it sounds like you’re ticking all the boxes.

My idea hit me practically right away. I'm not gonna score any points for originality, but I'm having an absolute blast writing it.
Awesome challenge, Steven!

Does the scream need to take place at the start? Or can it happen a page or two into the script?

based on what Steven gave us, as long as it's "before midnight", I think anywhere is good, personally.

IMO, there's no need to worry about what level of cleaning they are on or have already partook,
End of a party. A couple...at least - Steven already said there can be unlimited characters and children.
