New Horror Screenplay

 I have indeed started writing a new horror screenplay.

It is a werewolf movie with the (generic) title of Wolves at the Door.

I truthfully tried to think of a better title, but this one fits.

At one point, it was called Earthsblood, but not only is there a prominent video game about werewolves with that title, but it doesn't tell the audience at all what the film is about. I also think of when the financier of the original Evil Dead told Sam Raimi and the guys, "You have to change the name from Book of the Dead. People are going to be thinking they're gonna read for 2 hours!" And Tony Tenser changing the name of Satan's Skin to The Blood on Satan's Claw, saying that the original title, sounded like someone with a skin disease.

At any rate, I won't divulge the plot, as always, as I am very protective of my plots and aware that many people out there would steal them for their own ends. 

But... this is my 3rd werewolf script (after the period piece Hooded and the allegorical Cubs).

I beleive werewolves are indeed my favorite monster to write about.

Perhaps it is due to my massive affinity for dogs.

I have no idea.

Second to werewolves would be demons, in terms of horror villians/monsters I choose to write about.

And I believe that is entirely due to my German Protestant upbringing. 

But, to date, I have not written a vampire or zombie script.

I have one for each monster planned, and somewhat mapped out, but not written yet.

Soon, though...
