Congrats, Damien! I had a feeling this would be the overall pick. Nicely done!

Congrats Damien and to all that entered, great challenge!

CONGRATULATIONS! I only had time to read two and I loved yours!  

Since this is a challenge and not a competition and Don may reach out and slap my hand, I will not use the word “wonâ€� but instead will say my favorite entry prevailed!  Congrats Damien on your entry and for the pleasure of reading it. Also thanks to all who entered a script and joined in the fun of the Halloween OWC. Great job everyone!

I demand a recount! They cheated and voted multiple times using rigged machines and dead writers! Oh, sorry - for a second there I thought I was in an election!

Congratulations, Damien- that was one of the ones I really enjoyed.

Hey All!

Thank you for the kind words. I would have been proud to have written any one of these scripts.

This year I was given the opportunity of judging the screenplay competition at a couple of festivals. It was an interesting experience and I can say hand on heart, that the group of writers who call SimplyScripts home are on a different level.

The quality of each and every one of you is incredible, I shit you not!

Best

Damien

Well done, Damien!

I didn't get to read them all, but I read that one. Enjoyed it a bunch.

Now I see there are several others I need to read.

Best,
Paul

Damien has a SS mug!
Well done, congrats, salutations, and of course when you lift that mug: sláinte!

Terrific turnout - long may OWCs prevail.

And thanks to Andrea (her inaugural OWC) & Don.

Big congrats to Damien and to all who took part in this challenge. It's been a fun one!

Congrats to Damien, and everyone who participated. I had a blast!

Quoted Text And thanks to Andrea (her inaugural OWC) & Don.

Aww, so sweet of you.

Congratulations and thank you for a great story.

And another thing, thank you for the joke. I hope you don't mind if I share it. It's getting great responses.

Yay! My favorite script won. Congrats, Damien and everyone else who took a crack this month.

Congratulations, Damien,
This month's 19 scripts were fun to read.

Hopefully next time we go  over 20!

Good job , everyone.

Congrats, Damien!
A great challenge with terrific entries.
I am suitably suffused with embarrassment in the "bolting on of Walt's frozen head" to a rewrite cryo thread from my scratch reel. There's no foolin' you lot. All best - JtF
