MISTRESSES OF HORROR
by
L. C. Cruell, Diana Kemp-Jones, and Linda S. Scott
Award-winning
screenwriters L. C. Cruell, Linda S. Scott, and Diana Kemp-Jones bring you, "Mistresses of Horror."
The feature script "Mistresses of Horror" is perhaps the very first of its kind -- an all female-written horror
anthology.
LOGLINE: A mysterious brothel in New Orleans exists solely for those destined to find it, catering to only the
most select clientele. But for the corrupt, the decadent, and the damned, there is but one way in… and no way out.
Three award-winning female voices in horror gather to bring you six gruesome stories of flesh and fear. The Mistresses of
Horror present “Mistresses of Horror.” SYNOPSIS: Seven unsuspecting
tourists and curious wanderers learn the price of passion when a seemingly innocuous tour guide offers them a glimpse of the
real New Orleans. Led through the misty streets by night, they are shaken by tales told of the city's haunted, blood-drenched
past, until they reach their final destination. The infamous, timeless brothel, La Maison des Plaisirs, (The House of
Pleasures), welcomes them with open doors to tread the same paths as the most powerful and notorious figures throughout the
history of the city. Once inside, they meet The Mistress, descendant of the most powerful voodoo queen
ever known, and watcher and gatekeeper over this hedonistic domain. She will tempt them to sample the pleasures her mysterious
world provides, leading them down dark, winding corridors to rooms where they can choose to experience their darkest desires…
and their fateful consequences. Three award-winning female voices in horror gather to bring you six chilling
tales of flesh and fear that explore the dark side of the human heart, the power of desire, and the weakness of the soul.

Switch
by L. C. Cruell
Our desires can be the death of us. When boy meets girl, one night, one moment, one terrible choice…
and romance becomes horror.
A Sure Thing by Linda S. Scott
Ed, desperate to pay off a ruthless loan shark, cons a lonely nerd with money to burn with the erotic lure of "a sure
thing."
Each tale is either an award-winning short or a new short crafted just for this anthology script. "Mistresses of Horror" itself is a Finalist in Shriekfest 2008 and the 2008 Horror Screenplay Contest.
The immediate goal of "Mistresses of Horror" is to find and work with the right production
company to create a successful, profitable feature film that will establish a notorious new horror franchise and the three
Mistresses of Horror as preeminent voices in the genre.
The ultimate hope with "Mistresses
of Horror" is for it to lead to a series of popular, memorable sequels that could serve as a launching point for other
up-and-coming writers, with future sequels perhaps combining shorts by the three original Mistresses of Horror along with
shorts by other rising female horror writers thus increasing and highlighting the role of women in the genre.
"Mistresses of Horror" weaves tales that are diverse, dark, and disturbing, can titillate and terrify audiences
both male and female, and can combine to create what will hopefully soon become a staple series in the genre.
