I'd be very interested in reading some 1 page horror shorts (either finalists or semi-finalists) from previous years, if the writers are happy to share their details/pass along their work.

Your script may not need another rewrite, it needs a reader who actually gets horror.

A dark, high-contrast photograph of a window with a bright beam of blue-tinted light shining through the curtain. The Killer Shorts Quarterfinalist laurel has been overlaid in the lower left corner. Above it, text reads: BEAMING | A one-page horror short by Cass Cooper.
On December 3rd, I challenged myself to write a fully contained one minute script. On December 5th, I submitted BEAMING to Killer Shorts. Beyond thrilled to see that it has now been named as a quarterfinalist in the one page category! Many thanks to @killershorts.bsky.social for the consideration 🛸🩸
