Halloween Baby! by The Other Purple One - Short, Horror - A hip scientist invents a way to summon his dream girl from hell, but is she everything he's dreamed of? (PG) - pdf, format
Musical theater was never my thing, so I couldn't get into this. Others might love it, though. Had a Rocky Horror/Bride of Frankenstein vibe to it. Insane visuals and equally demented lyrics.
I liked this and with some work it would make a good cartoon. It's written very well. Some of the lyrics missed but that's to be expected with just a week to work with.
This will take a long time to get perfect, but would be worth the effort, IMO. Some light-hearted Halloween fun.
Very original. I don't think anyone would have come up with that for this challenge. It explains why he has to say dialogue out loud. Lol
It's a hit or miss for people on genre. I liked it. Lol.
How did the cat die? I don't recall he ever died.
Hope this helps, Gabe

Hard to fully appreciate without the music, but agree with the above - this would make a fun animated short, perhaps stop-motion a la Nightmare Before Christmas?
Wow - that was weird! I'll give the writer on this one lots of kudos for creativity. It's colorful, decriptive and well written (not sure I cared for the specific lyrics though.) The concept's bizarre and over the top - and it was meant that way. And it could be quite visually bizarre if filmed. Blake Snyder would be sooooo upset about poor Twigs, though!
This is my first OWC to read and I'm glad I picked this one. Very unique and fun to read.
I thought it ran a little to long and figured it was padded to meet the challenge's criteria. Sometimes, a script can get away with it and sometimes it can't; this one couldn't.
SPOILER SPACE
You need to give a little more emphasis on Twigs' demise. It didn't register when Flash killed him and I had to go back and reread it.
This was a work of art for me. It picked up my interest from the get go, then held it up - you have it all, elements of horror, fun characters, well-thought lyrics. There were quite a few hysterical lines - the funniest when he called her bitch and in the middle when he became quite just for a moment and just asked "baby?". Lol, very funny.
I'm going to reread it just for fun and sing it out - I'll try to come up with a tune that fits. Overall, it was a lot of fun, very entertaining, in fact amazing entry. I didn't expect to see anything like that in an OWC, let alone this particular OWC.
It's my first read in this OWC but I'm sure this one will remain my favorite. I'll remember it for a very long time.
