Octobers Children Pilot

Octobers Children Pilot

Project Overview

October’s Children is an episodic full cast paranormal mystery/action horror audio drama set in a small college town in New England. Show format would chiefly be in the form of present tense discussions and ‘action’ scenes, with occasional forays into Single Narrator story relation and ‘flashback’ sequences.


October’s Children focuses on a small, diverse group of 20- and 30-somethings trying to survive the trials and tribulations of ‘everyday’ life in Wolfbrook, New Hampshire. Unbeknownst to them at series start, the group will face increasingly strange and dangerous situations as the boundaries between our world and another fade, and monstrous creatures begin to infiltrate and invade Wolfbrook.



this is currently the pilot episode. once recorded this will be pitched as a full series. If picked up the show will begin recording for a 10 episode season with a break between seasons.

  • Can’t believe you’re making me drive 

    to the bar.

  • The hell is that? You hear that?


    BEN

    Ayunh. Think maybe your radiator’s

    on it’s way out?


    LISA

    Only if it swallowed a rabid fisher cat first.

    Jesus. I’m gonna pop the hood, see if anything’s

    on fire. Or bleeding. Shit. The hell was that?



  • Now just wait a second. You think the 

    sound of a thousand souls being dragged

    to hell by their short hairs is my radiator

    giving up the ghost, but you get scared 

    by a deer or some damn thing?


    BEN

    That ain’t no deer.


    LISA

    Well it ain't no bear, neither, nor a moose,

    and there’s not much else out here worth being

    scared of.

  • Yeah, well, I was the D.D. last go, 

    so it’s your turn this time. We go through 

    this every other goddamn week. 


    LISA

    But I’m the one with a broken heart! Terry

    just dumped me, and you know that she did!


    BEN

    (with good natured derision)

    Sure, and I also knew what you were up to

    with Mrs. Henricks last Thursday. Plus, this

    is what, the third time Terry’s kicked you 

    out since April? Might as well just say it’s 

    a Tuesday at this point.

    BEN (CONT’D)

    Oh my god, oh my god, oh my god. Gotta

    call for help.

    place, I think my friend is dead, and it’s 

    coming this way!

    law with more years of experience than she’d like

    to admit and an encyclopedic knowledge of her

    community. The other is a college drop-out

    with a penchant for bad coffee and a frankly

    scandalous browser history. Now. Let me hear

    you say it’s a prank call.

  •  (smiling viciously)

    Do you want to tell me it’s a prank and 

    apologize for wasting my time, or do you 

    want me to tell Odette you’ve been slacking

    off and wasting taxpayers’ dollars? I mean,

    if you really want, I could even look up your 

    parents, tell them they’ve raised a delinquent

    who spends their time looking up—



  • Excellent. I’ve always admired your work ethic. 

    Now, I am going to head home. And you, you’re 

    going to finish your shift and forget all about

    this. There’s no use in getting worked up over something that never even happened. Is there?

  • So I say, ‘Well, if that’s how you want 

    to play it, then that’s how we’ll play it.’ 

    An’ she looks me square in the eye, steel 

    in her gaze, an’ she says ‘Don’t test me. 

    You’ll lose.’ And I say ‘How’s that?’ 

    An’ she says ‘I’m going to beat you 

    so badly your friends will need your 

    dental records to recognize you.’ 

    Scared the shit outta me, I’m not

    too proud to say.

    JEFF

    Four and a half. I think she gets it 

    from those damn police procedurals her 

    mother binges on their weekends together. 

    Gonna have to have a talk about that.

    just how we set the thermostat. Our hearts

    Oh, nothing all that exciting. Bit

    in a residential zone was worth more than 

    my family name, and then my dad agreed with

    Mostly when a light bulb needs changing.

    He was tall, you see. Also, credit where

    credit is due, he was dynamite in the sack.

    to any more sales people while he’s out.

    many, and we have plenty of cutlery.

    Such a pity she’ll die screaming. They all

    die screaming…
