Congratulations to the winners and finalists of our 2016 Horror Screenplay Contest!
Out of more than 1,000 submissions, The 49th Day by Craig Peters has been selected as the Grand Prize Winner of the 2016 ScreenCraft Horror Screenplay Contest. Intelligently designed and genuinely frightening, the emotional script has a thoughtful spiritual core and an original and wholly empathetic protagonist. The story centers on Diana, a nine-year-old Japanese-American girl, whose imaginary friend–Death in disguise–starts killing off her family one by one. She must find a way to convince her parents of the horrifying truth and save them from brutal deaths. The 49th Day was also a finalist in the 2015 WeScreenplay competition and has also recently earned a coveted spot on the 2016 Blood List's Fresh Blood category. The BloodList was founded by literary manager Kailey Marsh.
