Your dialogue is in the wrong format. Yur front page should only have the title of your script in capitalized letters, and it should be underlined. Two spaces underneath the title should be the words Written by, then two spaces underneath those words put your name. Then in the bottom left corner put WGA # whatever, and underneath that Copyright whatever year. Nothing else on the front page. And don't give your front page an actual page number. Don't show the number one on the first page either. Page numbers should be in the top right corner. when writing a scene heading, don't write: EXT - COVEN - NIGHT, instead write EXT. COVEN - NIGHT. Don't use technical terms like FADE TO and CUT TO. If you write cont'd into the script, don't write it under the character's name when he/she talks, write it next to them, like this:

TOM (cont'd)
What the hell?

This is my second attempt at a script, hopefully it wont be as bad as my first! I feel it's still really short and I may need to add things to it as well as choose an ending. I had 100 ending idea's for this to begin with and choose 3 to include with the script.

Also this "However some are they dabbling in something they cannot control?" should read "However are they dabbling in something they cannot control?", must of been late when I was typing it.

Also thank you Chris for reading my script so soon and giving me some technical advice. I'll get started on fixing it straight away.

Hopefully that is most of the formatting issues fixed.
