However, everyone in his household is also a vicious killer. In the tradition of the infamous Benders of the late 1800s, the Cultry Family preys on travelers and everyone has a role to play in the real family business.

After springing their trap on a group of vacationers, the family discovers that one of their intended victims may have the potential to become one of their own.

THE COLOR OF EVIL
by Connie Wilson

​

Tad McGreevy, of Cedar Falls, Iowa, meets a clown at his birthday party who has "the color of evil." Tad is afflicted with a paranormal ability, Tetrachromatic Super Vision, which allows him to see auras around others that tell him who is naughty and who is nice. When he encounters a serial killer with "the color of evil" (khaki) he will relive the crimes of the evil-doer in terrifyingly vivid nightmares. All his life, his parents have urged him to keep this power secret, because it is not, necessarily "predictive" as Tad does not know if the crimes are happening now, have occurred in the past, or are going to happen in the future. When Pogo, the Clown (aka, Michael Clay) meets Tad and incorrectly learns that Tad can "see the future," the serial killer begins to stalk Tad, putting him and all those he loves in peril.

The Book Writer
by Kris Bauske
in Screenplay / Script

Doyle Tipton is a successful playwright and author, but her name causes most people to think she's a man. She has the chops to make it as a bigtime book writer for stage musicals, but she's never actually had a success in this area. Every time she proposes a concept to a band, they hem and haw and steal the idea without including the woman book writer. Finally, Doyle calls in a favor and gets hired, sight unseen, to write the book for a musical based on the catalog of Larry Limpet and the Lizards, a multi-platinum band that hit huge in the eighties. The only problem is, Larry Limpet is a male chauvinist in the truest style, and Doyle Tipton isn't taking any of his shit.
