A sci fi action story with the main character being the "immortal soldier" archetype, and inspired by Vietnam Veteran's experiences. It touches on the effects of prolonged combat on the mind and how even the greatest soldiers can't go through combat without taking psychological wounds along the way.
I have a social horror that deals with mental illness and the stigma towards it in modern society. It's basically "A Nightmare on Elm Street: meets "The Babadook"
For everyone who has a Horror script, there's an Open Writing Assignment in the Writers' Room (https://www.stage32.com/writers-room). A producer is looking for original Horror feature scripts until November 22 (tomorrow).
Maurice Vaughan, the stories of real Vietnam Vets are really wild. One guy for example on his first day is dropped off in a forward position in the jungle. He is 18 and just out of training. He doesnt know anyone. The first night the entire area is overrun by human wave attacks. Enemy with suicide vests storm into fighting positions and detonate themselves. Theyre firing their machine gun until the barrel turns white hot and sags (melting). Its a terrible battle, tons of people killed and wounded. He is pulled out of the jungle a year later and sent home when his term is up to try and put a life together after 365 days of hell. This is why so many Vietnam Vets had severe PTSD. To this day they still call the Veterans crisis line about flashbacks (some). Its crazy the things we have sent our young men into and then hardly given them any support on their return. Luckily its gotten better since then, but its still got a long way to go. They're beginning to seriously look at psychedelic treatments for PTSD which are as close to a miracle cure as you can find.
That’s amazing Alicia VaughanJim BostonRobert Russo and everyone here. I hope I can read your scripts and collaborate with you guys. Maybe we can learn from each other
Wow, Robert Russo. It's terrible what Vietnam Vets went through. Your script's gonna bring much needed attention to what soldiers go through during war and after war.
Decided to transcribe a novel that's been sitting around for a long time. I do all my first drafts by hand so I've been reading it into the system for a few weeks. It's a new challenge,

A western. Been doing it for a while.
Plus I am going to finish a horror I started with a bit of a franchise bent. That should be a simple sale.
