I don't see anything remotely good in the horror section that's recent, except maybe House of Whorrors. I'm open to horror from an SS member, but it's gotta be really good and not more of the same old shit.
I always thought it would be a good idea to take a SS script in whatever genre, and then compare it to a pro script of the same genre/tone so you can really constructively analyse the differences and help the SS member improve their script.
It's good to read pro scripts, but we're trying to help people get their scripts better, at the end of the day.

That is a good idea, Rick! Do we have a SS script we can use and if so, what pro script can we use to compare it with?

Maybe Mike's (spesh2k) Never After and A History of Violence? The only downfall with that one is he hasn't been around lately BUT I do know he plans to make a return (very soon) and start reading again soon as he submits his new script, which I'm co-writing with him. I can't think of another SS script for something like this suggestion except for maybe The Farm by Bert. They're the only 2 SS scripts that I think could stand toe to toe with a pro script (all that I could think of for now, anyway). What about you, did you think of any?
This sounds like a great idea and a even greater learning experience. But I have too much on my plate right now. Otherwise I'd be in like Flynn. Maybe if things get less hectic I wouldn't mind working on my writing chops with you guys.

What about Led's script - 'Equal Retribution' ('What Doesn't Kill You'), - you'd have to get his permission of course, given it's being produced, and share the link between yourselves -unless it's still posted on SS?? Just a thought cause it's a terrific horror/thriller.
Or Ryan's horror script which got top rating also on ScriptShadow - not sure if that's still up? but both are terrific screenplays.
Don't think I'll have time for this btw but just thought I'd throw a suggestion into the mix.
I think it's up to DBD to decide, but if it was up to me, I don't think I would chose a script that's already in production. I thought of a script earlier today though, one I really liked and that was Rick's entry to the last 1+6WC. I don't remember the title right this minute, but I really enjoyed that one. I even sent it to a production company with my own "RECOMMEND". Not sure that did anything, but I tried.
Gabe, I remember reading yours and liking one of them. Like I said though, it's up to DBD.

Deep In the Bone aka Bone Deep. Terrific script by Rick.
Did me a favour, though. It's better now, I think.
It would make for a reasonable discussion...there's certain strengths to it and certain weaknesses that are worth looking at from a writer's point of view, I'd say.
