Happy Halloween, friends! Today, you get a lil treat.
Like Rob Gordon, I guess I’ve always been a professional appreciator of movies, and I just wanted to do something new, put something new out into the world, and kind of really put my money where my mouth is. All of this to say, I’ve been working on an original screenplay!
I tend to use pop culture to process my emotions, and horror in particular for my heavier/darker ones, so a horror screenplay feels exactly right. A creature feature screenplay, even more so. And ever since I first saw the Thriller music video, I keep coming back to werewolves and their carnivorous lunar activities. They’re not as sexy as vampires, or as fun as zombies, but they’re captivating and horrifying in their own right. Maybe it’s my chronic pain that draws me to them, since werewolf transformations are always explicitly painful. In any case, it’s werewolves for me.
Anyway, enough stalling. Please enjoy the opening scene of my original screenplay. Working title: I Was A Teenage Werewolf Hunter.
(The rest of the scene is paywalled because I’m shy 🫣🐺)
