The Halloween '24 One Week Challenge Theme is...   (reply) Posted by: Zombie Sean
Date Posted: 12 minutes ago

Quoted from Don


It's a tradition.  Everyone else on the site has done it.  There is a whole hidden thread of the "Order of the SimplyScripts Thong" pictures.

Once you submit your thong picture, you are granted access.  

It's quite an honor, really.



I can attest to this. I’ve seen proof of Don’s shrine of “thong photos” that have been submitted.

Love it, and clearly a labor of love.

Quite the brood you've got there, and you can kind of tell who is the boss amongst the cousins.

The voices sounded like watching an old Peanuts cartoon.

Brilliant.     That witch scared the crap out of me. Always hated witches. Never work with kids or animals, indeed - loved the dog cameo, and fine performances from all.
This was really great, Pia!

So, this past July, I had the less-than-great idea, some might even call it stupid idea, to make a Halloween movie with my grandkids, ages 7, 7, 7, 5, 5. They say you don't want to write kids or animals into your scripts and now I know why. I honestly think it would've been easier if I had tried to make a film with our cat. 😁
Their attention only lasted for 15-20 minutes. After that, it just all turned into a circus. We tried a second day, but it started out with two kids stepping in dog poop, and there was no recovery from that. 🤣
Anyway, this is Pumpkin Nightmare 3.

Hey LC! I just wanted to let you know that I took your advice and reworked my scene description. I will wait for Zack (and/or others) to post his/their feedback to see if I should change anything else to make the story clearer.

Thanks again!

Salem's Lot   (reply) Posted by: Grandma Bear

I guess to me it was disappointing that some of the scariest moments in the book didn't really work here at all, but the biggest letdown of all was that it could easily have been swapping vampires for zombies and it would have been like a million other zombie films we've seen. They also showed Barlow too much. When you have a monster, don't overuse them, or we become dull to their appearances.

Quoted from JtF
Dear Steven,
maybe have some camera feed of Ed pulling into the gas station as my inital thought was "why him?", then the three cowboys being Tres Amigo's or ZZ Top!?
I think you need to show the QR code penetrating his eye (and brain).
If the misdirection was competing Big Oil companies. As written it just seems a bloodbath.
Best - JtF


ZZ Top would have been funny!

I like the idea of the QR code penetrating his brain.  Would make for a nice scene, and a challenge to write!

Wasn’t necessarily thinking competing oil companies more than I was thinking the big money corporations who seem to have control over everything. Getting a bit cynical in my old age.

Steve, have you, after all this time, not learned how to edit your post?

The transition from what's cooking good-looking to now I'm going to snap your neck, darling, was effective. Perhaps he snaps back to consciousness - a moment of clarity of what he's done before getting the knife? That might add a layer of sympathy and audience reaction.

Like I implied before, establish the rules of this concept and really go for it.

P.S. On second read, there's an additional full-stop second paragraph p.3.


Yes, I know how to edit. Lol. I just got lazy is all.

Thanks for all the catches. On another read of this I can see it’s littered with them! Damn, I should’ve prodded this harder but I kin...

I watched the new one. It's a mess. Huge chunks of the film just seem to be missing. The entire town becomes vampires way too fast, IMO. There's a lot of good stuff, but overall it's a missed opportunity. Still, I didn't hate it. Lol.

Salem's Lot Posted by: Grandma Bear

Salem's Lot is, for me, the scariest of all his books. I have watched the old movie with David Soul and Bonnie Bedelia many times and I like it even though it's by no stretch of the imagination a great film. I was really really excited about this new that came out a few weeks ago since I thought the trailer looked great. Before I go on about my thoughts on this film, have any of you guys seen it? What were your thoughts?

Dear Yeshwanth,
yes the bond between humans and dogs is very special. I think you could compare and contrast the serenity of the first painting with a Lab's "free form bouncy behaviour" and add further tension with the door PLUS a phone call at the same time to distract.
Then the search would be nothing less than frantic. Tight snatched dialogue "I've lost my dog!" "Have you seen a dog!" etc.
All worth it for the final image resolve. Best - JtF

Hi

So, I kinda loved this. I'm basically your target audience and I'd definitely watch this. It's super fun, I LOVED that scene with the nurse, and I was invested in the characters. Great choice to have us believe for like almost half the whole thing that Casey is the big bad. I was theorizing she was some sort of witch that wants the baby, and so on. Really fun.
Yeah, sure, there's some cliches here and there, things we often see in horror, but really who cares, you know. It's impossible to put something on screen that hasn't been done already in some way or another. Some things are cliche for a reason. And that's because they work. Just look at Smile. Sure, it's full of stuff we've seen before, but it works, dammit.

On...
