I'm really enjoying this drive through the desert. There's so much to see. Cacti, rocky plateaus, rolling vistas, the occasional coyote on roller skates with a giant magnet on his back, tumbleweeds.

A dragon in a dirty alley eating out of a garbage can.  Shitty AI slop, but I just couldn't draw anything for this. 

From one of the half-hour comedy episodes:

EXT. HOME FOR MONSTERS - DAY
MAIL CARRIER approaches the mail box outside the Home for Monsters and hesitates. Mail Carrier looks at the bush next to the mail box.
MAIL CARRIER
Is that you? Hello? Do you want your mail?
Mail Carrier wedges the mail into the branches of the bush and turns to walk off. 
With a RUSTLE, the bush on the other side of the mail box unfolds, revealing itself to be WIND, a sentient plant-person. Mail Carrier SHRIEKS in fear.
WIND
Why did you give the mail to Albert?
MAIL CARRIER
(shakily)
Albert?
WIND
Do you think we all look the same?
MAIL CARRIER
(flustered)
What? No! I just...just thought that, I mean-
Wind LAUGHS.
WIND
I am joking. That’s just a bush.
Wind takes the mail out of the bush and walks up the path and into the Home for Monsters, still laughing. Mail Carrier looks at the bush.
MAIL CARRIER
Could be an Albert. How the hell can anyone tell these days?
Mail carrier walks off MUTTERING.

What happens when the mother of the Antichrist meets the Son of Cthulhu? Love of course! And the end of the world, but whose apocalypse is it going to be? Kisses and curses abound in "Satan Loves Cthulhu"! The poster is a hand-drawn shitty pic of Satan and Cthulhu staring at each other over the silhouette of our two lovers. 

Here is the first bit of the script:
EXT. ROCKY OCEAN CLIFFS - BLACKEST NIGHT
Lit by stochastic lightening, an OLD CRONE (f, 100) mutters GUTTURAL SYLLABLES over the POUNDING RAIN as she trudges up the rocky path to the top of a promontory overlooking the storm-whipped ocean.
OLD CRONE
Ain fthagan Cthulhu sep mornicus in et ackman alctatan doa! Ain Cthullulu! Ain Yog Shoggoth! Give me your child!
Old Crone spreads her arms and the waves CRASH higher and higher until one wave POUNDS over the cliff, washing her away.
Lightning CRACKS into the waves.
Thunder ROLLS over the ocean ROAR.
Another wave WHOOSHES over the cliffs, and Old Crone stands where she was before, sodden and dripping, but unharmed.
OLD CRONE
Thank you old ones and bless us with your madness! Give us the old gods to once again wake Azathoth! Bring me the spear of Lobon! Oukranos! Zo-Kalar! Tamash!
The SHOUTS of Old Crone are drowned out by the violent SMASH of the waves and the BOOM of thunder.
SUPER: “30 YEARS LATER”
EXT. GOTHIC CHURCH - MIDNIGHT
A neo-Gothic stone church with no roof, in severe disrepair,  stands forlorn in a field of weeds under the full moon. 
In the peeling paint on a sign by the entrance the words “ST. LAWRENCE” are faintly seen. 
EXT. DRIVEWAY - SAME
An old, dusty and road-worn black van RUMBLES down the driveway, the engine COUGHS and SPLUTTERS.
INSERT - REAR VIEW MIRROR OF VAN
A cartoon devil air freshener with the words “STINKY LITTLE DEVIL” hangs from the rear-view mirror.
BACK IN THE DRIVEWAY
The van CRUNCHES to a halt in front of the dark building.
REVEREND JANE HEX (f, 30), steps down from the van and surveys the area. She oozes charm and confidence.

EXT. DESTROYED WATER STATION IN THE WILDERNESS – NIGHT
Drops of water strike wet earth.

Slow.

And stop.

A drained water barrel, upended, peppered with bullet holes.

Slashed empty water containers litter rocky ground in the
small scrub-surrounded clearing.

A flag, emblazoned with a rain drop, droops from a whip pole.

Facing away, an INFANT in a pink onesie crawls in the dirt.
She turns her head. She's long since dead. No eyes to her
sockets, skin withered to the bone.

INT. TROY'S TRAILER - BEDROOM ALCOVE – DAY

TROY (a gaunt late 50s) gasps awake, heart POUNDING.
Flat on his back on a narrow pull-down bed, the last of the
late afternoon sun streaming through the window.

TROY
It's ok.

Bleak eyes give the lie, but the POUNDING quiets, slows.

Troy opens the drawer of a tatty console, retrieves a pistol.
He looks it over - his hand trembles - the gun shakes. It's
ridiculous, exasperating. But his hand won't hold still.

INT. RAQUEL'S APARTMENT - BATHROOM – DAY
Steady hands put the finishing touches on a flat twist crown.

SHIELLE (O.S.)
(16 and hopeful)
Well? Can I go?

Intent on her reflection, RAQUEL (21, Black, short, in a
uniform emblazoned 'Burgershed') ignores her. Inspects
herself with a critical eye - it'll do.

She heads for the...
