Coming Soon: An anthology series that celebrates the ridiculous excess of ’80s horror. Eight separate terrifying stories, each told by horror fans, specifically for horror fans.

Not sure how I missed this FYC script of The Incredibles, but here it is. Thanks “John” for the heads up.

The Incredibles – undated, unspecified FYC draft script by Brad Bird – hosted by: Cursos de Guion Online – in pdf format

Now known exclusively by his secret identity, Bob Parr, he lives with his wife Helen, formerly Elastigirl, and their three children Violet, Dash, and Jack Jack.

AND THEN HE COMETH (11-page short horror screenplay) by Warren Duncan

A Halloween party descends into chaos for a young girl and her partner when they take center place in an ancient ritual.

One lesson I’ve learned in life; never go to a party unless you’re personally invited or you know people there who were invited. Especially when it’s at some creepy farmhouse in the middle of nowhere. Unfortunately for Lily and her boyfriend Axel, they learn this lesson the hard way. And that’s putting it very gently.

While strolling around the city during Halloween festivities (Lily in a sexy devil costume, Axel dressed as a demon), they conveniently receive a flier for a “Demons & Devils” – themed shindig. Why not, right?

They hop in an Uber and, next thing you know, they’re at a farmhouse in the middle of nowhere. It’s pretty much just as advertised – everyone’s dressed as devils and demons, just like them. But something about the vibe seems terribly off – all eyes seem to be strangely focused on Lily. Could it be the sexy costume? Who knows? But Lily and Axel aren’t feeling it. As they attempt to ditch the party, a demon-dressed party-goer practically pressures them into staying for at least one beer. “One drink and we go!” Axel tells her, yelling over the loud music.

Things don’t go quite as planned and Lily ends up waking up on the couch without Axel and without her cell phone. It seems like the party’s over, a demon-dressed man sweeping the floor around her. Even stranger, it’s not even midnight yet.

Lily wants to leave and it seems as if the demon-dressed man, the only other person who seems to still be there, is trying to help her by calling an Uber. But it turns out that he (along with everyone else at the party) knows much more about Lily than she knows about them.

If you’re a fan of films like “House of the Devil”, you’re going to LOVE this, especially the awesome “gut punch” of an ending. Uniquely horrifying visuals really elevate this one over your average demonic cult film.

BUDGET: Low. One location, three main actors and extras in robes and demon costumes. Oh, and some practical effects (blood, mainly).

ABOUT THE WRITER: Warren Duncan writes screenplays and comics in his spare time and has been lucky enough to have several shorts produced and the first issue of his comic book series published. Warren can be reached at: Warren_duncan(a)hotmail

SCAVENGE (5-page short horror screenplay) by Steve Miles

A backpacker stumbles upon an abandoned campsite only to discover he’s not alone when it comes to an appetite for scavenging.

All right, filmmakers, if you’re looking for something super-low budget to shoot while keeping social distancing in mind – and I know a lot of you are – look no further than “Scavenge” by writer, Steve Miles.

The story opens as a lonely backpacker (never a good thing to be in a horror movie) named Lars happens upon an abandoned beach – the perfect spot to post up for a few days. After setting up shop, he decides to explore the area a little bit while scavenging pretty much everything he can get his hands on – candy wrappers, bottle caps, beer cans, etc.

Lars hits the jackpot when he stumbles upon an abandoned campsite, camping gear and loads of trash (or treasure if you’re Lars) scattered around the remains of a campfire.

But where is everybody? And what happened to them? Not too concerned with any of those questions, Lars peruses the abandoned items like a kid in a candy shop, taking with him a cooking pot and nice camping chair. He even finds an unopened can of beer! Score!

However, Lars spots something else – fabric poking out from under the ground. As he pulls on the fabric, he discovers that it’s a tent buried under the sand. Oh, well, nothing Lars can take with him.

It isn’t until later that night when Lars realizes that something about this abandoned beach is very, very off…

I know this sounds like the set-up to a typical slasher film, but the way this story plays out may surprise you. I know I wasn’t expecting it. In fact, this may be the antithesis to the typical slasher film. For one, there’s no dialogue. Also, there’s no cheap jump scares. Everything is carried by raw tension, specifically a terrifying, visually arresting (yet simple) scene when Lars is in his tent and realizes that he’s not alone.

If you were afraid of camping before, this story definitely won’t help you get over any fears. Quiet, tense and visually horrifying, “Scavenge” is a perfect horror short to film during social distancing. But I wouldn’t recommend watching it alone.

BUDGET: Shoe-string. All takes place outdoors at an abandoned beach with two actors (one main actor).

ABOUT THE WRITER: Steve Miles enjoys writing in a variety of genres but leans toward raw, grittier characters and the worlds they inhabit – from the deadly serious to the darkly comic. Fortunate to have a number of shorts produced (some of which can be seen at Steve Miles’ Short Scripts alongside a range of scripts) with short films Forever Red and A Cool Green Place soon to be released, and The Cold Season which you can watch on Amazon Prime. Steve can be contacted via his website.
