Welcome to The Horror Closet's first, exclusive writing competition: Writers Unleashed™. We’ve been planning this for a long time and we believe we are now finally at a place where we can host it properly!


Posted Image
In this competition you will be up against both the experienced & beginner creative writers of this forum, week after week, as you complete the challenges and are scored and ranked by the judges (TheCheetahwings and GhettoSpiritMedium) and the final judge and host, (SnazzyShadeEmily).The last writer standing, is the winner. We hope you choose to sign up for Writers Unleashed™ today,and join us for this competition, and to grow as a writer. You don't need to have any experience at all to atleast try, so we hope anyone with atleast a smidge of interest gives it a shot. The challenges will be posted weekly. Round 1 comes this Friday Night, due Thursday, December 10th at 12/11C. Most rounds will be posted Saturday but since it's Round 1, you get an extra day. Use it wisely. Results come every Saturday night starting at 6/5C and running two hours. I'll post the next round shortly after. The round themes will not specify a genre, so feel free to do whichever you want as they will all be graded fairly using the same basic scale. When your entry is complete, PM it to Me/SnazzyShadeEmily, and I'll send it to the others once the deadline has been reached. I hope you all consider joining! Also, please make entries an original work unless stated within the challenge post.

Cman710 - Leprechaun: Back 2 Tha Hood

I thought this entry was a bit of a step down from your previous. I liked it overall, but at times I just felt like there was too much dialogue and waiting for something to happen. Thankfully when something DOES happen it’s beyond exciting & fun to read. I really loved the dialogue from the post-meltdown as well. I just wish more was focused on this because it would stand out way more. I thought the characters were pretty decent. I liked the “Thug” and “Hooker” characters just for being fairly amusing, and thought you narrowing them down to caricatures was pretty funny. It reminded me of The Final Girls having the cliche “Slut” & “Jock” & etc. Seeing that it felt somewhat like satire I enjoyed it. I thought you fulfilled the challenge really well for the most part, and it definitely contrasted the actual film (judging by what I’ve seen of it.) I thought you took the title and went in an original direction for a title which was honestly probably the hardest of all. But I do have to say that at times this didn’t feel like you used it’s FULL POTENTIAL. While the idea was really great and the meltdown was amazing, I do wish you went even further with it. It being even crazier wouldn’t have been too much like the actual movie either, even if that was intentionally messy/over the top. While this entry wasn’t nearly as great as some of your previous entries, it was still a solid & well thought out entry.


Kevin R. - Jack & Jill

It’s kinda random but when Alex says “Ohhh yeahhh.” in his sex scene I instantly thought of the Kool Aid man & couldn’t take it seriously. I’m sorry. :imfine: I thought this entry was really funny & well written. It was probably one of your more “casual” entries and it actually worked to your favor. It was nice to see something so different from you. I really enjoyed the social commentary from it considering when I started reading it I wasn’t sure what to think. But it definitely pays off by the end. I thought you pulled off the challenge perfectly, and put an interesting spin to the name. I’m glad you avoided the twins plot in general and that the humor wasn’t nearly as childish. As for originality, it’s not the most unique story ever but it certainly is a different storyline for a guy meeting a girl (The “Jack & Jill” title having a double meaning was a nice touch). I think the one thing holding me back from giving it a higher rating was that it just didn’t have the same climax that your other scripts did that I missed. Ngl I was expecting a twist where Jack as Jill is what helps Alex “get it up” or they even hook up or something. But the ending never did anything to take it to that NEXT LEVEL that I’ve come to expect from you. Overall it was a really good entry, even if I prefer some of your previous ones.




Matty - Fifty Shades Of Grey

First of all, Jay is a little bitch. Pea Soup is great. Him having an absolute MELTDOWN over soup is so extra. Honestly. WHY JAY. WHY. Okay but this entry was really great in every sense but the challenge. I honestly DONT know how it relates to the title. Which is a shame because it’s your best & most intriguing entry yet on it’s own. If you had just named the kid Grey, or maybe had her say “his eyes were a different shade of grey” it would’ve been enough to tie it all together & make it an amazing entry but it never happens. It’s a shame, because really everything else was on point and your score will be dragged down PURELY because of it.


Greg - Teaching Mrs. Tingle
HELP @ how wild this one was :imfine: i actually wasnt ready for the drama & intensity of it all. This is by far my fave entry from you even if I had to rush through it a bit to get to the game. But everything was on POINT. The dialogue, originality, & overall script was great. The names as usual were amazing too. Tingle Towers >>>>> I like how you went in a completely different direction with who Mrs. Tingle was and who’s “Teaching” her, so you fuffiled the challenge really well. Overall it was an awesome entry and I wish I had more time to write more about it. Also as for the dialogue it was easily your best in this with a great balance between the descriptions & amount of dialogue.
