IMHO, most scripts started out with a couple chitchatting that went on for pages. That is not a great way to start any script, but especially not a short horror. In most scripts there was no horror set-up. Just people doing their thing and then eventually some horror stuff happened. Guys, even with features, you need something to grab the reader/audience on the first page. In a short it's crucial. Just my opinion of course and I'm nobody.

"The BOUNCER, who is sat on a chair, is about 40 years old. He looks like a combination of Richard Gere, Harry Hamlin, and Richard Grieco, but with worse hair, and not as rich or popular (even though Richard Grieco isn't very popular anyway). He is wearing an old plaid shirt and Guess jeans with a fairly new looking belt. He also has a shiny necklace on that hangs down to his big, old beer gut. Some sweat or grease or some substance is dripping down his chin."
What do you think of that work of art?
No comments? No love? This was an actual OWC entry, by yours truly.
My apologies for not commenting on the last six I had to read tonight. I needed to get my ballot in so I wouldn't hold up the system.
This was rough. My absolute worst OWC entry ever! I was stuck for days and just had to end it, but the beginning sucked too. Damn 2019 goals! I couldn't NOT enter!
I can't believe nobody connected my entry with a OWC I wrote a couple years ago! The antagonist and protagonist. Hmmmm…. That was not an admission or reveal.

Honestly? Bit of fun I suppose, but... Why would you deliberately put up an entry riddled with exactly the type of rookie mistakes that you yourself are so scathing of?
You can write. I'd love to read a legit scary entry of yours, in a Horror themed OWC - one that is not 'for reals' and over the top.
Actually, maybe I just did read one. Still, most of these entries were over the top imho.
I also, now I come to think of it, read a script in this very challenge with: for reals in it. Now if only I could remember which one...
