And CREATURE FROM THE BLACK LAGOON is an absolute fave. I have a framed poster over my computer as I blather write now.

I have a long simmering idea for a cheesy 50s style creature feature I might write and produce myself.

#scriptsky #scriptchat So as a wrapped a draft of my latest feature. It is a part 3 of a trilogy I have created a new problem for myself. I have to pitch 3 features…

It's hard to get back into the swing of things! Maybe set an end of the year goal to finish a short or outline?

I tend to like creature features but not much else that qualifies as trad "horror" genre stuff.

Lets do it! #Scriptsky #ScriptChat

I've never been a horror person. I understand many others are, but I am very not.

"Victories"? Yeah... right. GOOD ONE!

The best screenwriting news I've had of late is I have yet to quit.

Actually, I'm not sure if that qualifies as a victory or a defeat.... 🤣

Sure. Why not. We need the dues.

October is Halloween month aka Scary Story Time, which always reminds me of the idiotic fact that my western spec PERDIDO actually started life as a chupacabra story.

There remains not a single bit of that original stuff. 🤣

Just a few more wins. #scriptchat #scriptsky

Some wins during September! #scriptchat #scriptsky

If you're a screenwriter (ahem) "of a certain vintage," you need to participate. Or nominate some fellow decrepit fossil! (Hi, there! You look lovely tonight...)

Brad does yeoman's work for us dinowriters.

For #FirstPageFriday-- the opening to VAMPICONDA!, the only thing I've written that qualifies at all as "horror," but even then it's hyphenated as comedy-horror.

This silly thing started as a joke in a social media thread yet remains my most requested script.

There is no logic here.

#scriptsky

VAMPICOINDA! p1
EXT. LOUISIANA SWAMP ROAD -- DAY
Slick black water hugs the bottoms of thick cypress trees. The air so heavy, you can almost hear the humidity. Ominous clouds hang heavy and pregnant as distant thunder rumbles.

DUST ON DIRT is more of a woman-in-peril / survival thriller than a horror - but it takes some steps in that direction. Just finished an update on it this week so here it is for spooky #FirstPageFriday. #scriptsky

A dry scrubby rocky hillside under a hot blue sky. A few clouds, but they're a mockery: there's no chance of rain.

Text: A script by Adele Smaill / DUST ON DIRT

EXT. DESTROYED WATER STATION IN THE WILDERNESS – NIGHT
Drops of water strike wet earth.
Slow...
...and stop.

A drained water barrel, peppered with bullet holes. Slashed
empty water containers litter the rocky clearing.

A flag, emblazoned with a rain drop, droops from a whip pole.

Facing away, an INFANT in a pink onesie crawls in the dirt.
She turns her head. She's long since dead. No eyes to her
sockets, skin withered to the bone.

INT. TROY'S TRAILER - BEDROOM ALCOVE – DAY
TROY (a gaunt, weathered 50s, white) gasps awake, heart
POUNDING. He's flat on his back on a narrow pull-down bed,
late afternoon sun streaming through the window.

TROY
It's ok.

Bleak eyes give the lie, but the POUNDING quiets and slows.

TROY
Not like I'd forget.

He retrieves a pistol from the tatty bedside console, hand
trembling as he looks it over. Ridiculous. Pathetic, even.

EXT. OTAY WILDERNESS, U.S. – TRAILER - DAY
The wilderness has Troy's old trailer surrounded. Only tire
tracks hint at a way out through rocky, sage-clad hills.

A water feeder for birds stands full to the brim.

Nearby, an old monster of a 4x4 pickup, with dark-tinted
windows and a lifted cab. On the rear bumper, a faded sticker
reads 'HOLD THE LINE - SECURE THE BORDER.'

INT. TROY'S 4X4 - DUSK
A flat bench seat up in front. Troy slides in, stows his
pistol and drives off, hands steady on the wheel.

Hey #ScriptSky, instead of a #FirstPageFriday for the first October Friday, here's a horror short I adapted, shot, directed, and produced. Enjoy. Potential TW: the subject matter involves stealing a Black woman's soul for forced labor.

Clearly I'm biased, but the new transcribe feature in Screenwriter seriously rocks.

Outline and screenplay, side by side, fighting the good fight. Heck yeah 🤓🤘
