The theme is a golden oldie: Night Gallery. This horror show of the late 1960s (Night Gallery, for anyone who needs a refresher course or is learning about it for the first time) focused on a gallery in its wraparound segments, where it introduced paintings which depicted images related to the plots of the stories.
Now, while I call this the Night Gallery 7WC, it's only meant to be a guide. For your feature scripts, you should create your own Curator, your own paintings and your own original stories. Your feature should contain an introduction sequence, three to five vignettes and a finale for the wraparound (if you would like. The finale is optional).
In addition to all of this, all the stories should be horror derivatives. This means that any kind of horror script is eligible.
I hope you have fun and enjoy yourselves and... if you don't, send all your hate mail to me and I'll be happy to refund you. Good luck, everyone.
