Script-of-the-week: Buffy the Vampire Slayer

by Joss Whedon (approx. 123 pgs.)

My copy was clearly re-written since it was full of typos but enjoyable all the same.  Here are my notes:

1. Pacing was a little slow in the beginning but picked up over time.
2. Main characters are well defined with a few supporting characters appearing to be less clear.
3. Emotion builds up and fulfills its objective by the end.
4. Although written before Legally Blonde it could be describe as LG with Vampires.
5. A good mix of horror and comedy with some very funny moments.
6. Although the teenage dialogue is dated I imagine it was appropriate for the time.

I would recommend this script for all screenwriters and especially those looking to improve their comedic writing.
