A student named Janan Kolcak proposes ideas for an original horror film titled "Nightmare on Bury Campus." The plot involves a haunted school with a killer teacher and a crazy girl named Mary who died at the school and now kills people. The main characters are Mary the killer, Chloe the heroine, and Janan's younger sister. In the opening, the new student Sarah dies after Mary lures her to the science lab. Janan provides potential costumes, props, characters, and locations needed. Peer feedback rates the initial ideas positively and provides suggestions for improvement.

15. SELL IT!!!!!!
Do you like horror films because if you like spine chilling
horrific and jumping in your seats then we advice you
to watch nightmare on bury campus . You will never
want to go school ever again. Walk down the corridor
alone or even lose your way in school. If you are a real
genius you will figure out what happens at the end but
hen you will turn dumb by getting it wrong so buy it to
act like a genius in the future.
17. Pros and Cons
Pros:
I think I liked my script because it is not very scary but it
is just jumpy my peer assessment buddy (Chloe)said it
was it was expanded well and it had more information
then the rest.
Cons:
The cons are I still need props and costumes and need
characters. My peer assessment said I need to write
more questions.
