I have a feeling these are the episodes which were the inspirations for the scripts in the OWC. I see mine in the list.

Cool to see some variety here with which episodes everyone chose -- only 2 episodes I see were chosen by more than one writer (I think 2 for 20,000 feet and 2 for Death Ship).

I'll be hitting the hay in about four hours so will miss the grand reveal, so well done in advance those who bit the bullet.

Only two here I was thinking of taking on so I'm very much looking forward to seeing the revamps and will review them first.

I recognize some of these! Death Ship is one of my favorites. It, like so many other episodes, were based on books. The feature Countdown that we did a Script Club on a few years back was based on it as well. Great stuff! Will definitely try to read a few.

I went through all the Wiki entries for every episode before deciding what to write, there was some serious creative skill on display, Serling was a genius!

I think I'll read the entries first and then watch the episodes of the shorts that rose to the top. That way I'm not skewed by the original (and it will save me a Saturday).

I think Richard Matheson was in that same group.

Finally, I can join the party!

Feels like years since I did one of  these (even though I did one in Jan)

Disclaimer to anyone whos script I comment on - I haven't watched a single episode of TZ, didn't even have time to watch the one I used for the challenge, so I will have no clue as to how close or far your scripts are to the originals.

P.S thanks Don for posting the links to the Wiki, very helpful

P.S.S I also very much appreciate the 6-page limit, don't think I would be able to handle the reads if it was 10


Feature

42.2

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

I'm digging how some have drawn inspiration from two episodes, that's really thinking outside of the Twilight Zone!
