Pitching

[Brady Brown]

WOOT! Thanks guys!! ;D

[Matthew James]

So, honesty time.. I didn’t know how I felt about the idea until I really explored what you guys were going to do with it and now love the concept of having a bunch of writers instead of just one, though I do have two questions?

One| How many pages are you guys looking for? A full blown fifty pages or something smaller? Just wondering.

Second | I know you guys all ready have a story set around dolls, do you classify clowns in the same category? I’ve always been super freaked out by clowns and my idea would come from a somewhat “true story.”

NOT AFRAID | Sixteen year old Claire Morgan, was too old to be afraid of clowns. At least that’s what her mother Elaine told her the morning Claire asked her to take down the painting of the knife juggling clown, which had hung opposite her bed since she was a baby. Sadly it is Elaine’s resistance that will lead Claire to take matters into her own hands and for the Morgan family to discover, nothing is as it seems... in... The Void.

50-60 pages is the standard amount we're looking for.

I'm afraid we can't greenlight this idea yet. While it has potential, It's very vague and needs more development.

So, while working on "Sally" for The Void I had this sudden idea rush and the next thing I knew I was writing out a synopsis Lol. And with "Sally" 's first draft being close to finish, I thought I would pitch this and see what happens.

**UPDATED**

"Midnight Massacre"[/i]

Sixty years ago, on Halloween night, after the midnight showing of Devilish Delights the lights turned on revealing that every movie goer had been murdered in the most brutal of ways. The small town of Clearview lived in fear for the authorities had no suspects, no leads, just dead ends. As time past, and wounds began to heal, six local teens decide to take the tragedy and turned it into a taboo Halloween tradition, Midnight Massacre. Bringing life back to the old Clearview Theatre and the midnight showing of Devilish Delights. But as the lights turn off and the crowd settles something sinister begins to creep through the ambiance of the projecting motion picture. Something that's been dormant for far too long.

Darrin, sorry for being so late with this one. You're GREENLIT!!!

[Deleted]

HAHA! It's okay, Carey. Thanks!! XD I think I'm just going to alter the pitch slightly and make the timeline a little longer than 22 years because I have this thing where I am constantly using 20-someodd years ago and it's getting a little old Lol. So I'm adjusting it to 60 years ago, it's not going to change anything about the story, it's just going to give me an other decade to channel. Hope that's okay?

MJ, you had me at Thin Man. I had no idea who or what he was until about a week ago. Creepy, creepy stuff. I hope this gets greenlit because holy crap, I just got scared reading your pitch Lol.

[Jamison]

^ Oh god... not Slender Man! NOOO! LOL I'm terrified already, dang it!

[MJ]

Considering my sister and I managed to mind f*ck ourselves while writing the outline, hopefully it lives up to it's terrifying expectations!

[Carey]

Well MJ... you've been GREENLIT!!!

[Deleted]

OMG! MJ when did you add a picture to your pitch? Way to freak me out! Lol.

Carey, I just came on here to tell you how much I love this series idea. I keep coming up with all these ideas for episodes but I don't want to pitch them because I have other jobs I need to do! Lol. So, instead I've started a notebook of ideas. Two thumbs up for you!

[stevieg]

I'll give this a shot. I think the stories fit in with the idea as along the lines of 'Twilight Zone'.

Note: I saw this as more of a two stories in one script (approx 25-30 pages each), but both have a kind of theme to them that are similar. It's hard to describe the story without giving it away, so if wanna know a bit more about it I have a PDF which reveals my thoughts about the two stories, and the revelations/twists in them if wish to see first I can send via PM link.

The Disease:

Brad Andrews is a nobody, who gets by in the world moving from town to town and surviving. But when the true nature of what lays behind the mask is discovered, he becomes labelled as one of the diseased that has been eradicated by society over the last decade and hunted down like vermin across the streets of the city, all the while in search of somewhere he can call home and someone to love him for who he really is ....

Passing of the Guard:

When a stranger arrives at a deserted cafe in the middle of the desert, he finds himself drawn into discussion with a mysterious female customer about the finer points of humanity, life and the world all around us. The two go on to discuss the implications and incidents that have surrounded us for the past millennium and possibly what the future holds for us all ....

[Amin]

IMO (I haven't spoken to Carey yet) the first idea sounds perfectly fine albeit underdeveloped and a little unclear, but the second one I'm not at all getting a story from. What you've got sounds fine and dandy for a scene in your script... but what's it actually about? And what fantasy or sci-fi elements are there to it? It's all too ambiguous right now and I can't really decide one way or the other.

[Carey]

stevieg, although The Disease is a bit vague, its been GREENLIT.

Passing of the Guard, however, is not. While it sounds interesting, it doesn't seem to fit in the Void, I'm sorry to say.

[David]

Hey, Carey, are you airing episodes in order of completion or in order of who pitched what firstfirst?

[Carey]

Order of completion most of the time. If several episodes come in that have similar subject matter, I may switch some around to keep it varied though.

[David]

Okay, thanks

[Carey]

MJ, I'm glad to be able to say you've beenGREENLIT!!!

Just be careful though. Don't go too far with the Anti-Twilight and references to how vampires don't sparkle and the like. Do try to give it it's own identity.
