This one was really funny.

Damn Pia you sure had a potty mout hin this on   you curse more than me

I'm guessing the other title for this could have been simply milk.

This wasn't horror, but it was a darn funny read.

Tanuguins....I get it now.  War & Peace in Sanskrit.  Ha! Very funny, indeed.

You know, I don't care what some people say -- I am going to go on record as saying I just don't get tired of these.

Not much horror (like I can gripe about that!) and not much milk -- but certainly a fun read.

A f**king stunt woman -- don't you just know she loved that!

Hey.

Not horror but still hilarious, and it involved milk more than some of the others on here...

I think my favorite was when Pia asks the guy in the hood about the rain and his response was "it got a little out of control".  Good stuff right there.

Reading this was like observing some odd, abstract piece of artwork that you're not quite sure what to make of.  It could be genius.  Then again...

My impression is that this was done tongue-in-cheek as some sort of inside joke.  I didn't quite get it but it was amusing in a quirky sort of way.  Mind you, if my name were Pia I'm sure I'd think it was absolutely brilliant.

This was kinda all over the place and made we wonder if there was a point to even making such a script, but some bits made me laugh.

It was alright at parts, and not very good in others. Nothing really special about iy though. It is like a giant inside joke, and not extraordinarily clever. Could have been better, and it's not a horror, and just seemed like you pieced a bunch of random things together. I also didn't feel your description  too much. Seems like you're just "milking" the familiarity of the simplyscripters with this.

Haha it's another SimplyScript script, except with less people. But wow, my eyes got wide when the homeless man came in. Pia was hilarious with her cursing, but things started getting trippy towards the end. So many things were happening--The tanugiuns, the milk, the man in the raincoat...It was weird, but funny. It wasn't horror, but you did include milk, so thumbs up.

Now I wonder who could have written this.

This was pretty out there, man.  Kind of a sci-fi-campy-50's-horror thing you have going here.  Plan 10 From Outer Space.

Nice inserting of the few SS references.  Big on the goofiness.  Overall a nice read.


Be excellent to each other

Haven't a clue what it's about, really. But I loved the irreverent tone!

Sorry. I didn't see where this fit the theme of the exercise at all.

I honestly had no idea what was going on for this, but found it quite humorous.  It was a nice quick read, but I definately don't see it as a horror.  I did love the ridiculous amount of cursing and the homeless man/snake joke was amazing in my opinion.  I'm sure I missed a lot of the inside jokes, but it was still funny even though it didn't fit the theme.

Okay, if this wasn't written by Helio... I'll shit in the middle of my street and start flicking it at people passing by with a hockey stick.

It was funny, very funny. Pia and her cursing, HA! Obviously it was Sci-Fi not horror and the milk thing at the end was pretty trippy and freaky but, what the hell, it was hilarious.

Oh, and I guess I can get past the Taratino instead of Tarantino mistakes.

Ah jeez... First, Helio, I get the message. Finish the Wakizashi thing. I've got it on my computer, I swear. Just gotta put it all together.

As for the script... Well, it wasn't really a horror. I laughed a couple of times at the absurdity, but it definitely wasn't one of your better ones. It felt like a bunch of random stuff thrown together with a very rough tie-in with the TaraNtino gag. It also felt like you wrote this in a big hurry. You need to take time to get that English working, and proofread. Your final scene was supposed to be freaky, and while I will grant that it was a bit, not in the right way.

So, you've got the comedic absurdity down, but horror this is not. Perhaps you should consider working for David Zucker...
