2015 Screenplay Contest Semi-Finalists

The Tapestry Written by: Steven Prowse

A medieval horror story as witnessed by seven different people. As each tale is told, more of the tapestry can be seen and much that was assumed at first may not be the case. Winner of three three screenplay competitions last year.

The Time Changer Written by: Vanessa Wright

A man is given the choice to go back in time and make a single change. Once that change is made it cannot be undone. His only task now is to choose wisely.

Union of the Snake Written by: Jason Harris

When two folklorists join a DEA agent to head to the Everglades to investigate cases of missing children and a mysterious snake cult, they discover more than the slithering horror of the river of grass.

The Proposal Written by: Diana Lee Woody

When Maggie tells Connor they need to talk, Connor assumes she is going to break up with him. So he and his best friend Jack devise a hair brained and disastrous scheme to get her to change her mind.

When Babies Cry Written by: Mary Beth Holland

When his daughter begins experiencing night terrors that threaten her waking life, a father must confront his violent past in order to save her.

Ghosts of Christmas Past Written by: Margaret McCarley

A reluctant stepmother must save her new kids from the malevolent spirits in the haunted Christmas house next door. Inspired by actual events. Decades after the gruesome Christmas 1956 murder of a family, a woman moves in next door to the murder scene along with her new husband and two hateful stepchildren. The stepchildren soon become friends with two kids from the neighborhood…the two children who were murdered next door almost sixty years earlier. When these ghosts lure the stepkids in to their yuletide freak show fun house, the reluctant stepmother is forced to battle the evil, vengeful ghouls to save her family.

The Inn final Written by: Josh Lee

Unknowing criminals run afoul of the law to an inn run by malevolent witches.

The Nightmare Written by: Paul Punzo

A young girl is captured and held hostage by a ghoul who reveals himself to be her father haunted by his mental illness.

Mindseye Written by: Paul Bianchi

After being drugged and kidnapped, Mel and her friends find themselves unwilling models in a series of fatal art installations and at the mercy of a trio of sadistic artists.
