Hey.  This is the thread where we guess who wrote what.  I think if things are difficult, a nice idea might be to tell everyone what batch your in, but hold off for now, and just guess.

Private Pleasure - Pia
Peter Pumpkinhead gets laid - Jordan
Enough is Enough - elis
Everywhere You Look - Seth
Green Pumpkin - Death Monkey


Oh, and a hint for mine:

It's got a pumpkin in it.
And I'm in Batch A.
And I did not write 'How to Carve A Pumpkin'.
And I did not write 'Halloween Incorporated'.
And I did not write "Not a Problem"

There's no way I would even attempt a guess. There's just too many scripts involved.

Cindy

So maybe we should all just say what batch we're in to give a narrower range?

I'll start:  I'm in batch E.

As of right now, I also have no idea whose is whose.

I'll say I'm in Batch B.

I'll save my guessin' for later when I have more intel.

I still have to read batch E.

I wrote one, but everyone already knows which one is mine or so they should, so I'm not going to say which batch it's in.  ;D

Cindy

I've aleady been "outed" too, so no need for me to mention what batch I'm in.

I know who wrote "enough is enough" and "Peter Pumpkinhead gets laid". I think I know which one Bert wrote, but I could be wrong since there's another good one about a green pumpkin who's author is Mary El! I don't know if that's a coincidence or a hint. :D

Quoted from tomson ...there's another good one about a green pumpkin who's author is Mary El! I don't know if that's a coincidence or a hint...

Take another look at those author names and you might figure it out.  There are two trends for this one.  I wonder if anyone can get them both?  

And I didn't play.  Just reading some of 'em to be a good citizen.

There are a few where I know I haven't read the author before -- I wonder if those authors are even participating with reads of their own.....?

Were the author names only taken from The Farm and Jack Amsterdam? I thought there were some I didn't recognize?

Mine was in a later batch (C), although I haven't written too many other things that would give away my style...I will say that I appreciate greatly everyone who has looked at my entry thus far and value your feedback 100%...;-)

Quoted from Death Monkey Were the author names only taken from The Farm and Jack Amsterdam? I thought there were some I didn't recognize?

It's Jack Amsterdam, but the stage version, which is probably why there are some you don't recognize.


I'll take a couple guesses...

Pumpkin Love - Higgonaitor
Halloween, Inc. - James

Quoted from Shelton Halloween, Inc. - James

I didn't write one. I started to write one but it didn't work out. The story was too overblown for twelve pages. I thought it was funny though. I've never seen or read a comedy with a reference to the infamous porno with Screech from Saved by the Bell. Maybe next time...

In any case, here are my most likely wrong guesses...

Gourdy - Cindy
Pumpkin Love - Tyler
Baxter's Wish - sniper
Halloween, Inc. - Mike (you've tried to pin a script you wrote on me once before)

I also noticed the names of the authors. I caught The Farm references but wasn't sure where the other ones were from. Glad someone was able to clear that up.

Here's some wild guesses...

Never mind. So far I've been completely and totally wrong on all counts. Oh well, back to more readin' and reviewin'!

I'll mention also that so far they all have been really, really good.

Here's a few more guesses.

How to Carve A Pumpkin - MCornetto
Gourdy - Cindy
Goodnight Jack - Michel

I had put James as the writer of HI, but I forgot about my Chicago comment, so I'm going to change that one to zdamort.  I think he's from Chicago.

Also, I'm in a later batch and the guesses as to what I've written so far have been wrong.

I'm never really good at guessing as to I don't really know how everyone writes (and I've been on this site for about two years now), except for Jordan. Haha, so I'm gonna say that his is Peter Pumpkinhead Gets Laid, as to, it does seem like his type of work, and, well, everyone else says it is his.


To give yous guys a hint on mine, it's in Batch A...

Sean

James and Mike are wrong about mine. I didn't write Gourdy, but I'd like to know who did  ;D. Mine is in batch A along with Sean's script.   8)

Cindy

I liked Gourdy...Hmm. Cindy's from Michigan. Monster Party has alot to do with Michiganian Politics...Monster Party was also in Batch A...Therefore, it could only be assumed, then, that Cindy wrote Beacon Station.

Hey,

Yeah, I have no idea who wrote what.

I also think it'll be pretty hard for anybody to guess what I wrote, at least in terms of content compared to what I've written before, although I guess if you look around there are other indicators around...

So, I'll give a hint too, I'm in Batch D.

sheepwalker

Revenge of the Pumpkins - MCornetto
Enough is Enough - Elis
Peter Pumpkinhead gets laid - Jordan aka Flyboy

I only have three left to read so I might update my picks later.

There were several really good scripts and a few less good ones. Hopefully everyone will take all their comments as well intended and helpful.

I think my overall favorite so far was Gourdy.

Quoted from James McClung In any case, here are my most likely wrong guesses... Baxter's Wish - sniper

Yup, you're way off, James. I didn't participate this time.

A lot of people saying they didn't participate. Makes me wonder who all the 26 scripts were written by!

I have a feeling there will be quite a few that will not have read anything.

I want to thank all of those who have read and commented and didn't write anything themselves. You guys are awesome.

Quoted from tomson I want to thank all of those who have read and commented and didn't write anything themselves. You guys are awesome.

Yep. Thanks very much!

Few more guesses...
  
   Dslah did Truth or Bear
   Michel-Goodnight, Jack
   Elis- Enough is Enough
   Sheep might have done Horrific Jack Carver, although it didn't have a one armed rifleman...
   Death Monkey-Night of the Living pumpkin
   Zombie Sean- Not-A-Problem
   Mike Shelton- Baxter with Dweezil and Lars

They all have been really good and have enjoyed looking at them all.

Thanks for letting me comment on your stuff, and hopefully my opinions are helpfull to you.

Oky, so I have only been able to read a few, as I have been very busy performing "As You Like It" this week, but we had closing night last night and I should now have enough free-time to read........................and guess.

After tonight of course, it's homecoming.

I am going to guess that Michael Cornetto did Halloween Inc.

Sandra

It's too hard to say who wrote what.

The reviews seemed to have slowed right down; hopefully Don will release the names soon.

Hint: I probably watched too much tv growing up.

Seth

Maybe if Michael Cornetto didn't write Halloween Inc., then I could see it coming from Daniel Kreiner (aka: Eburke).

Lots of really good ones in this challenge... From the exceptional comedy of "Oh Lantern" and "Monster Contest" to the starkness and underplayed humor in "Beacon Station," there's been such a wide range of ideas coming to life in this challenge, it's really nice to see.

Sandra

Quoted from Seth Hint: I probably watched too much tv growing up. Seth

Got that one without too much tribble. Guessing the Full House one, Everywhere You Look..

If we are throwing out clues, here's one for mine...

XX-72-7-46-10  ??)  

(The guy on the left is a clue to the clue, too. It's not a math problem, cause I can't do math)

In Superbowl XX, Number 72 ran for an OFFENSIVE touchdown, contributing 7 points of the 46 to 10 win over the (hapless, at that time) New England Patriots.

My hint is...is it wrong to violate a pumpkin sexually?

Can you tell if the pumkin says no?

Quoted from tomson My hint is...is it wrong to violate a pumpkin sexually?

Have to check and see if Rain from Slice of Pumpkin shows up. If she does, then probably so. :D

Sorry Sandra.  I only wish Halloween Inc was mine.  I think mine turned out the most disappointing, which comes from a thinking a joke is funnier than it is.

See Pia,

This is why we need pseudonyms, then they'll never know.

Sandra

Hint...hint...hint...

- 25 + 37 (divided by) 2 - 4 x 163 + 3 (divided by) 8 - 525 + 4.5 - 5 + 25 = ___'s "tylesay"


I think that's enough...yeah...as confusing as it is, it's still a hint..though I think the second one might give it away


Woopee

Sean

Quoted from Zombie Sean 25 + 37 (divided by) 2 - 4 x 163 + 3 (divided by) 8 - 525 + 4.5 - 5= ___'s "tylesay"

I should have paid attention in algebra instead of spending all time my flirting with Donna (Double D)
D'Agnostino....

Possibly Revenge of the Pumpkins, though, and tossing out a guess that Mcornetto did "Not a Problem"....

Nope. That ain't right. Howabout this. Zombie did How to Carve, and McCornetto did Revenge with pumpkins "pffting."

Joe,

I'll second that.  I think Zombie Sean wrote Revenge of the Pumpkins.  But my guess is Phillyhawk for Not a Problem.

Hello... Anybody out there? It's spooky quiet here.

My guess is that everyone is waiting in high anticipation for the writers to be revealed. Probably sitting home biting their nails, nursing a beer or two, popping Valium or Zoloft...

Quoted from tomson Probably sitting home biting their nails, nursing a beer or two, popping Valium or Zoloft...

Coke Classic and Lexapro...

Here's one more clue:

According to Jerry Sienfeld, the woman's name in my short reminds him of a female body part...(Not Mulva)

A strange hint:

The setting for mine was a result of a vow I took in the cliché thread (http://www.simplyscripts.net/cgi-bin/Blah/Blah.pl?b-Chat/m-1187010318/s-75/) after proclaiming my disdain for cell-phones.

Quoted from Blakkwolfe Here's one more clue: According to Jerry Sienfeld, the woman's name in my short reminds him of a female body part...(Not Mulva)

I remember that episode. ;D Doris...

Shelton Edit:  Dolores

Thanks Mike!! ;D It's been a few years.

Blakkwolfe wrote Halloween Inc...

Quoted from Death Monkey A strange hint: The setting for mine was a result of a vow I took in the cliché thread (http://www.simplyscripts.net/cgi-bin/Blah/Blah.pl?b-Chat/m-1187010318/s-75/) after proclaiming my disdain for cell-phones.

Death Monkey wrote The Strange Prophecies of the Green Pumpkin.

For some reason I thought a woman wrote that one, but when I read your hint it struck me straight away.

Well done, mate. I enjoyed it.  

Quoted from Shelton I had put James as the writer of HI, but I forgot about my Chicago comment, so I'm going to change that one to zdamort.  I think he's from Chicago.

No, I didn't write HI, but good guess with the Chicago connection, detective.  :)

Actually, I've been using a sock puppet.  Higgonaitor and tyler are both... me.

I'm sorry.

don't band me.

And I actually didn't write that.

Quoted from The boy who could fly my hint:  I have a pumpkin in mine ;D

A pumpkin that may explode given the strategic placement of jumper cables?

Based in the guessing, I'm going to be REALLY embarassed when the names are revealed.

Clinky-clinky  Clink. Clink. Pling--ky. Plunk...

Clinky-clinky-clinky-clinky-pling--ky plunk... repeat then

waltz.... tra-la-la- Lah. Lah. La-la... la-la-la repeat then

Zinger

ZA-za-za, za, za za za.. za-za around the bend, it starts with Wen... la la..

He hides again.

Ok that gave it away.

You sure you wanna be relieving yourself in public like that? ;)

I'm wondering if the person who wrote "Pumpkin's Disappearance lives outside of Canada and Outside of the U.S.?

Quoted from Sandra Elstree. I'm wondering if the person who wrote "Pumpkin's Disappearance lives outside of Canada and Outside of the U.S.?

That would be Helio. He's from Brazil. :-)

Hmm... I was kind of thinking Australia.

I also had a thought that maybe Helio did "Baxter's Wish."

Some really good ones in this challenge even if they didn't fit with all out comedy...

One of the memorable ones for me was "Beacon Station".  Although not ha-ha funny, I saw how it had veiled humor and with the right actors and direction would be.  I think the person who wrote this lives in a larger city.

I'm getting more and more curious who wrote what.

I absolutely LOVED "Oh Lantern."  I can still see Mannie hitting send with authority.

I don't remember the name right now, but the story about the guy who kept his evil wife in a pumpkin, that was another good one.

"Halloween Inc." was fabulous as was "Monster Contest."

I can't wait for the credits.

Sandra

Quoted from Sandra Elstree. One of the memorable ones for me was "Beacon Station".  Although not ha-ha funny, I saw how it had veiled humor and with the right actors and direction would be

This was my favorite out of all of them.

I'd say The Prophecies of The Green Pumpkin was the best  overall, but the one that made me laugh the most (Hell, I was still laughing five minutes after I read it) was From Soviet Russia with Love.

I enjoyed Beacon Station and Enough is Enough the most.  Niether were really funny, but they were well told.  The most consistently funny was a Slice of Pumpkin Life.

Okay well, since the thread is up for who wrote what for this challenge, I think I will complete my hint for those who didn't fully understand it:

Quoted from Zombie Sean - third time's a charm

There's a point in my script where everything happens in 3s...sort of. It takes three tries to get things right at the beginning when the mother says goodbye to her son.

Quoted from Zombie Sean - Pride and _________ (but not over the edge)

Prejudice, but I didn't really go over-the-top like I meant to have.

Quoted from Zombie Sean - (contains all colors) and (the negative of all colors)

The "color" white contains all colors, while the "color" black contains the negative of all colors. Therefore, black and white, which is the colors back in 50s before colored TV was invented.

Quoted from Zombie Sean - 25 + 37 (divided by) 2 - 4 x 163 + 3 (divided by) 8 - 525 + 4.5 - 5 + 25 = ___'s "tylesay"

Do the math and it comes out to be 50, and "tylesay" is Pig Latin for "Style," put two and two together, and it comes out to be 50s Style, which is what my script was supposed to be like if it were filmed.


Well, there we have it. I like making things complicated some times so yeah. Haha.

...


Sean

Quoted from Zombie Sean colored TV

That's racist.

Quoted from Zombie Sean Pride and _________ (but not over the edge)

I had it figured for Pride and Glory, Zakk Wylde's Southern Rock manifesto before he went on to slay the metal universe with Black Label Society, but I was wrong.

Quoted from Shelton That's racist.

OOOPS! Sorry about that. Yeah, some times that kind of stuff just slips out. I get it from my mom. :P :P :P
