The BEST OF the Monster Shorts thread...

[Sprocketboy]

I like how Charli, one of the writers of MONSTERS BEWARE, gave herself the Best Script Award. She is a modest gal. Personally, it was a Saturday Night Live skit with no real tangible story. My kudos go to the Director. Fun to watch though.

Best Cinematography: “Rusalka” – beautiful lighting, very film-like quality.

Best use of Blood: “Rusalka” - the burst of blood from the mouth and the angle was awesome.

Best Twist: "Rusalka" - was a very nice surprise to see that the son was the vampire.

Best believable performances by Adult Actors: “Rusalka” – she’s on the floor and we totally feel that she's dying… “Rusalka” – he’s under terrible distress and you can feel it.

Best believable performance by Child Actor: “Rusalka” – flawless performance by this little girl, even in the small whisper mimic “pretty please” at the end – super.

Best use of Unique Genre: “Rusalka” - a classic campy 1950s B&W horror story….”Rusalka” - an out-of-the box monster Musical… “Rusalka” – Film Noir.

Best Original Musical Score – “Rusalka”totally captivating and endearing.

Best Score that captured the Tone: “Rusalka” the total score and music fit the 40’s-50’s classical horror flicks.

Best surprise Genre: “Rusalka” – didn’t see a musical coming by a mile.

Best production-like quality: “Rusalka” - this could pass off as a snippet from a television show on cable.

Best opening: “Rusalka” - with the comic book introduction and then dissolving into real-life… “Rusalka” - with the superimpose factual information on black at the beginning brought goose bumps.

Best interaction of characters: “Rusalka” – those two guys had so much dialogue and so much banter that it was quite entertaining.

Best script: (bias) “Rusalka” - the dialogue flowed naturally without being over the top or flippant and the story had a beginning, middle and a quirky ending.

Best homage to Filmmaker: - “Rusalka” – take that “Death Proof”- Tarentino!

Best Poster: - “Rusalka” – just an incredible movie-like poster.

Best use of Monsters: - “Rusalka” – contains a Vampire and Siamese Igors in counseling session along with a Frankenstien at the end… “Rusalka” contains a Werewolf, two Zombies, a Reanimation and a Female Alien who collects monsters.

Best heart-wrenching story: “Rusalka” - two Jewish boys sent to the gas chamber, very difficult to watch.

Lawrie - I LOVED that!!! That was freakin' awesome.

morbid - welcome!

Shawn - yours definitely felt like a music video for awhile and I would love to see a music video festival here. I think that would be a great idea!

Sproket -

1) the story is based on the director, John. I did not come up with the concept, instead, I gave him feedback after feedback until he finally asked me to take co-writer title, then we worked on it together.

2) before I tossed that award towards our script, did you notice I put (BIAS) in parentheticals?

3) It had a BEGINNING - the capturing of werewolf, MIDDLE - the interaction in the car where you discover how the Zombie and Reanimation achieved their demised and their abduction and revealment of a female Alien collector - Ending - the opening of the trunk and discovering of a half-Zombie who may or may not have eaten the Alien Chic.

A skit is a comic theatrical sketch. VII falls under this category.
