About Me |

THE MIDNIGHT EYEI am a Scottish writer of horror and fantasy fiction and screenplays. Keep up to date with my blog HEREDerek Adams is a Glasgow PI with plenty of time on his hands. Until the weird cases walk in.The city's dark side soon takes hold of him. And it doesn't want to let go! Book 1: The Amulet Book 2: The Sirens Raymond Chandler meets H. P. Lovecraft meets Willie Meikle--a darkly magical mix. Randy Chandler, author of BAD JUJU Black Death Books AMAZON (UK) AMAZON (US) SCRIPTS AVAILABLE I've had four shorts produced from my scripts, with three other shorts and a feature currently under option. The following scripts are available(the shorts are free to the right person). If anybody wants to see some scripts, just drop me a line. -o0o- An isolated island is no place to be alone when mutant beasts roam in the fog. Island Life, 90 pages, is a Scottish monster movie in the vein of “Dog Soldiers” and "Descent". The script is based on my novel, Island Life, published in the USA in 2001 by Barclay Books. A scientist and two lighthouse keepers do battle against a tribe of mutated creatures on their isolated island. But everyone else they know is either dead or missing, and when night comes, and the fog rolls in, the fun begins in earnest. -o0o- Booze, Broads and tentacles in the city. The Amulet is 105 page B-movie noir-meets-monster tale revolving around a Bogart buff and the MacGuffin of an ancient amulet of power that has gang-lords in a frenzy trying to locate it. The monster barely appears and needs little FX, if any… Based on my novel The Midnight Eye Files: The Amulet, published by Black Death Books in 2005. -o0o- At first it's a simple lost son case, but soon PI Derek Adams is up to his hips in mer-women, shape changers and ancient fisher cults. An ancient god is waking up, and only blood will stop him. Sirens 97 pages is a B-movie monster tale set in a city and a remote fishing community revolving around a Bogart buff and the MacGuffin of the curse of a race of mer-women. Based on my novel "The Midnight Eye Files: Sirens", which will be published later in 2007 by Black Death Books in the USA. -o0o- At the Beach (8pp)A ghostly encounter on a beach as an old man ruminates on the nature of love and loss to a youth who is only looking for some peace and quiet -o0o- The Wrong Room(12 pp) A businessman looking for some control visits a sex club, but finds there are sharks in all areas of business. -o0o- Creature Feature (6pp) A wannabe horror film-maker gets more than she bargains for on her casting couch. -o0o- The Worst Sound (2pp) What’s the worst sound –you’ve- ever heard? -o0o- All scripts are complete and available in Final Draft, pdf, Word or txt formats. |
