And hey! I guessed Paul right! :P I'm getting better at this guessing game. :)

Nice. Congrats Al! Good job on entering guys — well done all!

Congrats, Al!

My first time competing in this (Paul finally talked me into it). An interesting way to exercise different story telling muscles!

congrast to all and to Britman for a great script. 4.28 - that's high!

And Butterfly was pretty awesome too.

I also liked the following several scripts. And the whole challenge!

Congrats, Al! Well done.

Story credit to Chris� daughter Jaina Hager, 8 on Halloween Spirit. Also, credit to her for being first to tell us the ending was broken.

We�ll be posting a revised version soon.

Congratulations to my two favourite scripts! Highly deserved!

Thanks to all who entered, it has been so much fun/pain.

Called it and I only read 2 :)

Thanks all! Had a lot of fun entering and reading everyone’s scripts!

Congrats Al, great script!

And to everyone who got a script in too!

Congrats, Al!

And to everyone! This lot of Halloween scripts were top notch and so much fun to read.
Here's hoping some get produced.

A big shout out to Mark!
The Body was especially entertaining for me, and cracked me up.  ;D

P.S. Thanks PK, (and Welcome, Chris!) for revealing the other 'half'. That would have bugged me if not.

Congrats Al... Great entry!

Thanks Don really enjoyed this OWC :)

Nice one, Britman - well deserved

Good job everyone, the quality in this challenge was outstanding.

Congrats, Britman. Really enjoyed The Great Zantini.

Already looking forward to the next challenge.

Congrats, Al. I feel good about second place to that. Yours was a well-crafted story.

And if anyone else has some directorial tips for BUTTERFLY - don't be shy - I intend to shoot it.
