WHAT DID I WATCH?

THE SCRIPT
Welcome new writer, Davy Perez!
“Horror and Sci-Fi are the two things that brought me to the written word in the first place. It’s in my blood; I’m literally born on Halloween.” ~Davy Perez
THEMES
On my wish list, for Season 12, was that scripts have some significant, smart, social, political commentary on real world concerns. Ta Da!
