Hi Stage32 army! We hope you are well :) I'm Allison (on the left) and I'm Samantha (obviously on the right!) but we're better known as the Garcia Sisters. We are authors and screenwriters for the horror genre. We are proud to be part of the Stage32 family, we have learnt so much being here, we've made amazing connections and wonderful friends.
Currently, we are working on a horror-thriller anthology series titled Monstra. What are you working on? What are you currently reading/watching?
We just finished watching Squid Game...intense! I'm (Allison) re-reading Scream by Kevin Williamson and Samantha is reading Fargo - season 1 - by Noah Hawley. When we're not writing, we're reading and vice versa. Let's connect! Lovely to meet all of you.

Hello Allison and Samantha. Nice to meet you both :) Ohh, I am such a scary cat when it comes to watching horror haha (I love scoring horror films and games though haha). I agree,, Squid Game was intense. Alice in Borderland is also an interesting show in the same genre.

Welcome. I seen you both before somewhere. "Monstra" sounds intriguing, I'm working on a horror, trilogy of pulps, rom com and a thriller.
Are you sticking to the anthology as film or turning into novel or other transmedia tools?
Hi Debbie! We're sticking to anthology tv series at the moment, that way we can be creative and change the story and keep it interesting, we have adapted Monstra from our first published book titled The Door, we just made a few changes that we thought would translate better on screen

Welcome to you both, so good to see other women working in horror on here! Monstra sounds like a cool concept, hope you can tell us all more about it at some point. I haven't watched Squid Games yet but I'm so excited to hopefully start it this coming weekend, everyone seems to be saying amazing things about it. I'm currently finishing up a horror short score (imagine Inside Out but make it slasher/gore) and reading Kafka's The Castle. What's the Fargo book like? Intrigued to know as the film/series have been brilliant.

Samantha/Allison Garcia ok great so like I said the name of it is The Stop Over - During a stopover flight, a high school graduate is stuck in an abrupt seven day lockdown. Broke & uncertain, she reluctantly accepts a generous offer to stay at a local (BNB) Bed & Breakfast but little does she know surviving a lockdown will be the least of her worries would love to hear your feedback on it, if I need to make changes, what I can do to make it better. I am all ears!!!!!
You know, the Brothers Grimm also have a "G" in their last name. Just sayin'. Welcome aboard, Sisters.

Hi Allison & Samantha Garcia! Wonderful to meet you both! Welcome to Stage 32! I'm a horror buff myself, and it's my go to genre as well. Currently, I'm working on a feature action/thriller titled "The Trail ", and a TV pilot titled "" P.I.T " (Paranormal Investigative Team). Anthology Horror is a favorite of mine, going back as far as Dead of Night 1945, Torture Garden 1967, The House that Dripped Blood 1971, and Asylum 1972. I think it's great that you're tackling this endeavor of yours. Keep me informed and let's chat, anytime. Success is so much sweeter when we all achieve it together!

awesome and welcome aboard
Ophir Zonicle love the title "The Stop Over" ! we really like that at the start, the protagonist has already so much "against" her like being broke, she's uncertain of her surroundings, and is stuck in a seven day lockdown - every travelers worst nightmare! We're wondering if something more dangerous is about to happen in the generous bnb?? We're intrigued!! We can see horror, action and survival all wrapped up here! Maybe give a hint of what's so sinister about the bnb or what she's up against? This is a story we'd love to see!
Samantha/Allison Garcia yes there is some danger that awaits her at the bnb...okay love the feedback I will definitely try to incorporate that into the logline...I would love to keep you guys updated with script development at it progresses, if that's okay with you
