Slapstick is out, I guess.

Good luck to all. Can’t wait to read them.

Just seen this and I've already missed two days

I'll have a think but not sure if I'm in or out as I'm working on a TV pilot for a competition deadline.

Twilight! :O

I bet this OWC is gonna be super interesting. Can't wait to read them all.

I’m sitting this one out. Work is kicking my arse just now and I’m caught up with other stuff to devote much time to write. I will however read and review any submitted scripts. Good luck to all who enter.

Twilight Zone? I definitely want in. I'll see what I can pull off in 4 1/2 days.

OK, submitted. Never before submitted this early, but every time I (re)read the script to make sure it’s good to go I feel compelled to change something, which almost always results in the story being out of scope with the initial idea, so I better just go with what I have; ho hum...

Anyway, best of luck to those participating!

I've not even finished reading the Wiki entries for the first series yet and Gum has submitted!

Lol, in my defense, I’m a TZ geek, and even though it’s been eons since I’ve watched the series, I could surprisingly remember quite a few off the top off my head, except the actual names of the episodes… that I had to Google.

That being said, in the end, I just went with the first one I thought of. Hopefully, it works…

I don't see how this is going to work for me...or others who are not familiar with the show and episodes.

I mean, in the original series alone, there are 156 episodes!  No way do I have time to even look over 15 to see what would work in a 6 pages script.

I just don't see it happening and I most likely will have to be out.

Jeff, the challenge is to right a 6 page (or less) script based on an idea prompted by an episode of the show... I read the synopsis of the original series, so 156 eps, on Wikipedia and came up with 18 ideas... just read a few and see if anything tickles the muse.

Any good slasher TZ episodes? Lol

Quoted from Zack Any good slasher TZ episodes? Lol

As a big fan of TZ... No. Although, Lou Diamond Philips keeps getting killed over and over in "The Pool Guy". That's close... Lol.

EDIT: Technically, "Hunted" would count, but it never feels like a slasher. It's more a mystery/thriller.

If you use the original episode as a prompt then any of them (well not ANY) could be a slasher... e.g. episode 123 is one of the famous ones where William Shatner sees a gremlin attacking the engine of the plane he's flying on... what if the gremlin was a lot more dangerous, boarded the plane and slashed everyone up.

See? Nice, easy, relaxing OWC this time. Or, better yet, paranoid non-Shatner thinks that that's happening. Now, it's a psychological thriller. =)
