The Darkness Pitch

AHS, comics, darkness, horror, Top Cow

This is the last comic script I wrote, which was a proposal for a new take on the Darkness. The idea was to write the book as a horror series, more like American Horror Story, where there was no clear hero or villain, just an unstoppable evil that would try to ruin the lives of everyone it encountered. I finished writing this just as Stranger Things came out, and there were some close similarities, such as the “Darkness World” that was leaking through to our realm.
Since it has been well over a year and no one even contacted me in regards to this script, I am going to assume Top Cow and I have no further business together and I am posting the script for the world to read.
As always, feel free to comment or contact me about it. Artwork by the wonderful Rob Doria.

The Darkness

 

 

Page 1

 

 

Panel 1: ESTABLISHING SHOT of the brand new CALIFORNIA STATE HOSPITAL, a prison for the mental ill and deranged. It is 1955, the building is new and the paint still fresh, the flowers that grow in the garden are tall and full of color.

 

A van sits in the parking lot to the left side of the building, with the word’s THE MARVELOUS MIFF on the side. The truck belongs to Miff the Magician. It is painted black with playing cards and gold stars on it.

 

Panel 2: INSIDE the hospital, in the open gymnasium. Magic Miff has set up his gear in front of the basketball net. The inmates sit in chairs about twenty feet away, with orderlies stationed next to all the rows of seats. There are 12 rows all together, totaling just over sixty inmates. Doctors are scattered among them, as well as a few nurses. A young nurse, blonde, tall and slim, stands in the front row, a clipboard pressed to her chest. Miff is a round, happy, man with an unusual moustache. He wears a red vest over his black tuxedo and he holds a long, black, wand in his hand. Nearby covered under a black blanket is a six-foot tall ominous looking box.

 

MIFF: THANK YOU, ONCE AGAIN, FOR ALLOWING ME TO PERFORM HERE TODAY, FOR ALL OF YOU. FOR MY SECOND TRICK, I WILL NEED A VOLUNTEER.

 

Panel 3: Miff looks at the inmates, smiling at the assorted freaks and weirdoes, a wide grin on his face.

 

MIFF: THE TRAVEL BOX REQUIRES A BRAVE SOUL, WHICH OF YOU WILL IT BE, EH?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Page 2

 

 

Panel 1: The old hospital administrator, a mean looking old man who leans on a black cane, approaches the young blonde nurse. His name is Mr. Coldfax and his eyes are too large and too shiny, he is clearly not well.

 

  1. COLDFAX: MARTHA, WHY DON’T YOU VOLUNTEER? I’D PREFER HE LEAVE THE INMATES IN THEIR SEATS WHERE THEY CAN ENJOY THE SHOW.

 

Panel 2: Miff takes Martha by the hand and leads her toward the Travel Box.

 

MARTHA: THIS BOX CAN TAKE YOU ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD, ANYWHERE YOU WANT TO GO. YOU WON’T REMEMBER IT OF COURSE. . .THAT’S THE MAGIC OF IT. . .

 

Panel 3: The young woman takes Miff’s hand is lead into the box.

 

MIFF: WHEN I CLOSE THE DOOR, I WANT YOU ALL TO CLAP YOUR HANDS AND SEND THIS NICE YOUNG LADY ON HER MAGICAL JOURNEY! ACROSS THE STARS TO WORLD’S UNKNOWN!

 

Panel 4: TIGHT SHOT: The door is closed, the latches secured. The crowd begins to clap.

 

Panel 5: The magical box is rotated around on its special stand. Two or three times the box turns, turns, turns.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 


 

Page 3

 

Panel 1: The box comes to a stop, the Magician smiles for the clapping crowd.

 

MIFF: ABRACADABRA!

 

Panel 2: Opening the door, Martha is gone!  Miff bows, his hat in his hands.

 

Panel 3: Closing the door again, the Magician continues with his trick.
MIFF: THANK YOU, THANK YOU! NOW LET’S BRING HER BACK FROM HER AMAZING JOURNEY!

 

Panel 4: Once again the box is revolves around and around. This time the shot is closer, tighter, more claustrophobic.

 

Panel 5: Miff throws open the door, but Martha is gone. We do not see the back of the box, instead we see only darkness.

 

MIFF: ABRACADABRA!

 

 

 

 

 

Page 4

 

 

Panel 1:

 

Miff peers into the box. The rest of the audience is worried, they can sense something is wrong.

 

MIFF: EXCUSE ME, FOLKS. JUST A MINOR SETBACK HERE.

 

Panel 2:

 

Miff studies the box, front and back, but cannot figure out what happened.

 

CROWD: WHERE IS SHE, WHERE IS MARTHA?

 

Panel 3:

 

The Magician gets closer to the box, trying to see into the blackness.

 

Panel 4:

 

Miff steps into the box, his face just inches from the dark.

 

Panel 5:

 

CLOSE-UP of Miff’s horrified face. Suddenly Miff can see into the dark, down into the blackness and what he sees is madness and evil incarnate.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Page 5

 

 

FULL PAGE SPREAD:

 

The panel is framed by the magical box and we can tell that this is what Miff sees.

 

Martha drowns in a sea of blackness, surrounded by massive white gleaming teeth. Her clothes are shredded, her flesh torn open, her face twisted in horror and pain. It is the Darkness incarnate and it is terrible to behold.

Panel 1:

 

CUT TO: A beautiful suburban neighborhood. Prominent in the panel is a gray family van parked on the street with those stick figure stickers on the back. There is one for a mother, a father, a cat and a baby sticker.

 

Panel 2:

 

A middle-aged female real estate agent Linda Blair walks toward the van as the James family gets out and gathers in the front yard. A moving truck is parked in the driveway and the movers are almost finished moving everything into the house. The side of the truck reads FULL SERVICE MOVERS. PACKING AND UNPACKING OUR SPECIALITY.

 

Robert James, his wife Tabitha and their baby girl Mona are a beautiful, young, hip, family. Robert holds the baby, since Tabitha was driving the van.

 

LINDA: MR. AND MRS. JAMES! HELLO AGAIN!

 

Panel 3:

 

Linda hands the keys to the house to Tabitha, a big grin on her face.
LINDA: THE MOVERS ARE ALMOST DONE, EVERYTHING IS READY TO GO! HOW WAS THE DRIVE?

LINDA: HER ROOM IS ALL SET UP, I MADE SURE OF IT PERSONALLY.

 

Panel 4:
As Robert enters the house, the two women stand in the yard.

 

TABITHA: THANK YOU, LINDA. WE REALLY APPRECIATE ALL YOU’VE DONE FOR US.

Fear crosses Robert’s face. He can make out the shape of the person in shower even in the dark.

 

Panel 4:

 

SLOWLY he leans forward on the toilet seat and places his hand on the curtains.

 

Panel 5:

Panel 1:

 

The shadows around him conceal his features, making him seem like nothing more than haunted eyes and a gaping mouth.

Panel 2:

 

WIDE PANEL: Tabitha looks around. It is a beautiful day, people are out playing in the park, but she feels a sudden sense of danger. The shadow of the tree is just a few feet from the baby and the Darkness Man waits there patiently, hands folded in front of him.

Page 18

 

 

Panel 1:

 

Robert hurries down the hall but it seems to lengthen and stretch away from him.

OUR DARK GOD IS IN HIS TEMPLE

IN THE EVIL, ROTTEN MIND

SFX:

HE HAS COME FROM DEEP WITHIN YOU

COME TO SWALLOW ALL MANKIND

 

Panel 3:

 

The door flies open and Robert tumbles into the room, scrambling to turn on the light. The baby’s crib is hidden beneath the viewer’s eyeline, bottom of the panel.

 

SFX:

 

HE WILL FEED OUR DESPERATE HUNGER

HE WILL SEE THAT ALL HAVE DINED

 

Panel 4:

 

The light switch won’t work, but now we can see what is in the crib: The baby is surrounded by vicious looking little Darklings.

UPON THE SOULS OF ALL THE PEOPLE

DARKNESS FALLS ON ALL MANKIND

Robert’s screams echo outside the house.  The Darkness Man now stands near the rear of the gray van.

 

SFX: NOOOOOOOO!!! NO! SOMEONE HELP ME!!!!!!

 

Panel 3:

 

TIGHT SHOT: The Darkness Man peels the sticker off the back of the van of the baby. His nails are clean but inhuman looking, his fingers boney and misshapen.

 

Panel 4:

 

TIGHT SHOT: The Darkness Man places the baby sticker on his tongue, a grin on his face, and swallows it.

 

SFX: NOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!

 

 

TO BE CONTINUED.

Bernie Wrightson was THE greatest American horror illustrator of the 20th century. His work defined the scary comics of the seventies and he continued to influence the horror genre well into the new millennium. Like Frank Frazetta before him, Mr. Wrightson was a unique and vibrant artist that will never be replaced. Thank you for everything, sir.

MASH IT UP!

books, dracula, horror, james bond, mashup, writers, writing

Mash-ups seem to be a hot topic these days. From Pride and Prejudice and Zombies to Alice Cooper VS Earth, Wind & Fire, today’s generation loves to take two distinctly different things and slam them together. In music, mash-ups have been going on since the creation of rock, but thanks to the digital era just about anyone can take two songs and smash them together. Whereas a remix takes a portion of a song and replaces it with another musical sound or beat, a mash-up will often the full parts of songs and weave them over or beside another song’s vocals or music. When a mash-up is done well, it creates a whole new song that becomes its OWN entity, greater than the sum of its parts.

Perhaps due to their monthly episodic nature, there have been more crazy mash-ups in comics than just about any other genre. From Superman & Spider-Man, to Doctor Who & Star Trek, there have been thousands of crazy comicbook mash-ups. At one point Dark Horse was putting out so many crossover comics with franchises they had acquired that it became a running gag. I believe their peak achievement was Buffy Vs Aliens Vs Predator VS Terminator.

Seth Grahame-Smith is without a doubt the current king of Mash-ups. Not only did his books capture the eye of the internet generation, but he was chosen as the Hollywood go-to guy for mash-up movies. Pride and Prejudice and Zombies managed to make it to #3 on the New York Times bestseller list, mainly due to public interest in the mash-up. Not bad for what is basically a re-write of a public domain novel. I’m not knocking the work, I did the same thing with GAME OF BLOOD . Creating a mash-up requires a whole different skill set than writing in your own words. You have to carefully balance the words of the original author with what you are putting in; if you do it poorly, it will be glaringly obvious which parts of the story were jammed in. Sometimes the material is difficult and requires major re-writes of large parts of the story; other times everything just falls together on its own. I had a lot of help with GOB because Bond was described as cold and inhuman in Fleming’s original novel. All I had to do was emphasize the traits that were already there. It was more difficult to change the villains because once they became vampires too, I needed to devise new ways to kill them off.

Hollywood has been making mash-ups since Frankenstein Meets the Wolfman, released in 1943. The biggest mash-up of my generation would have to be Alan Moore’s The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen. The film didn’t have the drama or horror of the comicbook series, but everyone knew what it was and who the characters were in it. The way Moore depicted London, England, was a huge inspiration for LONDON UNDEAD. If you love mash-ups, London Undead features the cast of Dracula against a horde of zombies. Fighting both against and with them are the characters from The Phantom of the Opera (now haunting a theater in England) and The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. A link to the book can be found at the end of this post.

If you are not sure what kind of story you want to write next, consider a mash-up. They can be fun to write and a great exercise for the brain. I loved writing the mash-ups I’ve done; they were great mental work-outs to get me prepared for writing my own original work. A mash-up might just be what you need to break through that writer’s block.

You can find the book here:

LONDON UNDEAD

man-fixing-tie

In a world where vampires are real and the forces of the supernatural are as deadly as any terrorist organization, only a vampire secret agent can protect mankind from the creatures of the night.

One of the world’s deadliest vampires, a man known only as “The Number,” has been a prime target of MI:13 for years. If Bond can wipe out his bankroll, The Number will likely be “retired” by his masters, a mysterious organization known only as GHOST. But what if the cards won’t cooperate? After a brutal night at the gaming tables, Bond soon finds himself dodging would-be assassins, fighting off brutal torturers, and going all-in to save the life of his beautiful human counterpart, Vesper Lynd.

In this 21st century mash-up of Britain’s greatest secret agent, you are introduced to a whole new world of shadowy espionage, blood-drinking spies and ancient, unspeakable evil.

My Apologies For London Undead

books, horror, writing

I’ve been giving away copies of London Undead all week and I finally got a print copy for myself. I was horrified to discover numerous typos on the first page. I was certain I did a thorough job but apparently I did not.
So I apologize for the mistakes and I am working to fix them now. A new updated version of the book will be updated to Kindle, so if you have a digital copy be sure to update to get the new version. If the typos ruined the experience of the book for you, send me an e-mail with a receipt that you paid for the book and I will refund it for you, or I can mail you a pdf of this book when it is corrected or any of my other books.
In my rush to release the book on Halloween, it was not up to the standards I have set for myself. I apologize to everyone who has the book for letting LU be released in this state.
The first wave of corrections were uploaded today. Hopefully this won’t take too long and the print version should NOT have the errors. I’m sure something will still slip through but I am committed to doing the best job I can editing this book.
Thanks to everyone for the support, I am sorry  I let you guys down.

R.

books, heroes, horror, science fiction, zombie

From Monday March 14th until Friday March 18th, the week of March Break, I will be giving away some digital books. The following titles will be free the entire week:

The Corrupter: 

The future.

From the first moment Oberon O’baron laid eyes on the robot, he was in love. With just a glance the petite artificial girl set his heart aflame, sending him into an obsessive frenzy. As the old-fashioned Englishman struggles with his new found passion, he is led into a world of political agendas, futuristic vice and sexual frustration. Oberon is obsessive, cowardly, self-loathing and weak but his mind is sharp and his dedication unwavering. All the pleasures he had denied himself, all that he had missed out on could be reclaimed. All he needs is HER.

The Corrupter is a science fiction tale of obsession, set in a world where everyone is watched and nothing is private.
TheCorrupter

 

London Undead: 

If you liked League of Extraordinary Gentlemen or fantasy mash-ups like Once Upon A Time or Pride and Prejudice and Zombies, then you’ll definitely want to read this horrific romp featuring some of London’s greatest monsters!

A gypsy curse has spread across Transylvania, killing the population and turning them into hungry, walking corpses. Fleeing to London, Dracula soon discovers the curse has followed him.

For three generations the men of the Griffin family have worked to perfect an invisibility formula. Larry believed he could succeed where his father and grandfather had failed. Unfortunately for Larry not even being invisible can protect you from a pack of hungry wolves.

Now back in the United States, Larry must stay one step ahead of the vicious supernatural mobster named Mr. Loogosi who wants his family formula.

Even being invisible can’t keep him hidden forever.

Only $1 on Amazon. If you’ve never read one of my stories, this is a perfect place to start!

Harmony Gibbs only wanted to see her abusive father die, instead she witnessed the death of everyone in town. Yet with all the secrets kept in Sweetwood there was still more, buried deep beneath the earth. Beneath the town was a twisted mirror image of Sweetwood where the Midnight Children hid. The war between the two species had shook Heaven and Earth and things had come loose, escaping in the chaos and flames. The Midnight Children were the descendants of ancient monsters and now for the first time in millennium the monsters have returned to walk the Earth.

When Harmony meets one of them, a wounded thing named Scavenger, both wounded hearts find the one thing they never expected to find in the center of a maelstrom of death: true love.
