• Seth Branson : Or the same rotting flesh. Kieran's right. The gothic genre is all over TV right now. American Horror Story, Hannibal, Bates Motel.

  Jake Fitzgerald : What about Texas Chainsaw or Halloween?

  Noah Foster : Those are slasher movies. You can't do a slasher movie as a TV series.

  [Everyones turns to Noah, Mr Branson then motions him to continue] 

  Noah Foster : Think about it. Girl and her friend arrive at the dance, the camp, deserted town, whatever. Killer takes them out one-by-one. Ninety minutes later, the sun comes up and survivor girl sits in the ambulance watching her friends' bodies being wheeled past.

• Seth Branson : The gothic genre is all over TV right now. You have American Horror Story, Bates Motel, Hannibal.

  Jake Fitzgerald : What about Texas Chainsaw or Halloween?

  Noah Foster : Uh, those are slasher movies. You can't do a slasher movie as a TV series.

  [everyones turns to Noah, Mr. Branson then motions him to continue] 

  Noah Foster : Well, think about it: You know, girl and her friends arrive at the dance, the camp, deserted town, whatever. Killer takes them out one-by-one. Ninety minutes later, the sun comes up as survivor girl is sitting in the back of the ambulance watching her friends' bodies being wheeled past. Slasher movies burn bright and fast. TV needs to stretch things out. You know, by the time the first body is found, it's only a matter of time before the bloodbath commences.
