Script-of-the-Week: Buffy the Vampire Slayer “Hellmouth”

by Joss Whedon (56 pages)


Awards: None that I could find


Points of Interest:

  • Pacing: Quick opening with strong character development. Each act ends on a cliffhanger including the end of the episode -- To Be Continued.
  • Screen Visibility: Character description is lithe but visual.
  • Formatting: Sharp formatting that flows seamlessly from scene to scene.
  • Act Structure: Teaser, Act I, Act II, Act III, Act IV. Approximately 45 Scenes.

Note: Pilot episode for the TV show based on the movie of the same name.
