GENERAL PITCH (sorry for yelling):
This fictionalized horror anthology begins and ends in a sandwich shop, where many mysterious things have begun happening. Guests come in for a bite to eat but instead get drafted by the head chef to tell them a story, lest they get fed to the monster in the basement. As such, it’ll be an episodic series where each episode can stand on its own without the need for a backstory or continuity. The only recurring characters are the narrator, the head chef, and Sethard.
Genre(s): Fiction, Horror, Comedy
Speaking roles per episode: 5
EPISODE 1 PITCH:
(I’m less sorry for yelling this time.)
This first episode shall act as an introduction to the series and main character(s), so as such it shall tell the tale of how the Sethard made it to the sandwich shop. We actually don’t know if he just works there or owns the place, moving on.

At 15 minutes per episode, I figured I’d have to break up the chunks of time into dramatic sequences, so this is a very rough outline of the format the show shall follow.
