1st Place - Accidentally Dead
Written by Tom Flynn
A horror comedy about a ghost who haunts a house in order to stay out of Hell. Trouble comes into play for the ghost when he falls for the new tenant of the house. He can either scare her away, stay out of Hell, and possibly be lonely for an eternity; or try to find a way to live happily ever after with the woman of his dreams. On the road to happiness, Jonas battles all-American families, a chauvinistic landlord, redneck date-rapists, giant eight-foot demons, an evil ex-girlfriend, bureaucratic angels, and a supreme ruler who appears in the form of James Earl Jones.
