When Zombies Attack!!!

[longmanshort]

End is Nigh, obviously ...

[Richmond Clements]

LMS, what sort of length of script are you looking for?
Anything you can get your hands on, I presume?

[longmanshort]

One, two, or three-pagers! (though I'm short on the two and three pagers!)

[Mr C]

Reckon you guys should see this.

Ghouls are not dead, they are humans who feast on nothing but human flesh. They desend on battle feilds at night to finish off the wounded and eat the dead.

[House of Usher]

Max, that's a Warhammer Fantasy Battle definition. There are others.

I think it was probably Dungeons & Dragons that formalised the late '70s definition of a ghoul as an undead monster that can cause paralysis with its poisonous claws and is especially vulnerable to silver weapons.

There was a 1933 film starring Boris Karloff as a vengeful Egyptologist who comes back from the dead intent upon murder; a 1975 one with Don Henderson as a cannibal afflicted with a tropical disease; and a 1980 one (The Monster Club) where ghouls were non-human monsters that ate human remains out of the cemetary, but weren't too fussy to turn down a bit of fresh meat either.

[Max Kon]

ghoul /gul/ n. L18. [Arab. gul.] In Arabic mythology, a desert demon preying on travellers; gen. an evil spirit or demon supposed to rob graves and devour corpses; a person unnaturally interested in death. ghoulish a. resembling or characteristic of a ghoul M19. ghoulishly adv.

I'm writing one (along with a load of other stuff).

The 1933 film 'The Ghoul' is much better than the seventies one (and it features Ralph Richardson posing as a vicar!), although the Freddie Francis one does have an excellent emotional performance by Peter Cushing (only two films since his wife, Helen, had died).

The less said about 'The Monster Club' the better ("the Shadmock whistles!")

[longmanshort]

Huzzah! Obviously, let me know if you're working on something - even if it's not finished! But also maybe mention it on the Yahoo newsgroup so anyone who'd either like to help/would like to draw your idea/can lend a little advice can put in their tuppence's worth ...

[Byron Virgo]

I spoke to Bolt about it yesterday, so I said I'd work out a preliminary draft of the script so that both you and he could get a better handle on the strip.

[Phuz]

With all this talk of the living-challenged, I?m really in the mood to draw a zombie story [see below] ? I can fit in a one/two page strip over Xmas, after that I won?t have the time, so if anyone?s interested could they get a script to me by the end of the week?
