MERIDIAN ARTISTS SUBMISSION
Logline:
Screaming Soup is the world’s first fully animated horror host show featuring the comedic misadventures of Deadwest, a gas guzzling, ray gun slinging skeleton cowboy, who reviews obscure fright flicks from yesteryear and today while on sci-fighting rodeo adventures in the wild weird west with a kaleidoscope of monstrous characters.
Short Synopsis:
Screaming Soup is a Silver Bolo Award winning animated web series that follows the adventures of Deadwest, a horror host who reviews lesser known B-movies he thinks horror fans need to know about—and sometimes avoid. Joining him is his sidekick Billy, a lovable goat from hell, his ghostly girlfriend Mandy, and a delightfully dysfunctional gang of parody-style monsters. Currently in his 6th season, with 51 episodes and counting, Deadwest’s antics have ranged from big top bar brawls with evil clowns, booze cruises through the ass end of hell, and epic crossover specials with legendary B-movie companies like Full Moon Empire.

Pitch:
My name is Dan Fowler, and I’m the creator of the world’s first fully animated horror host show Screaming Soup!, a Silver Bolo Award winning web series starring a gas guzzling, ray gun slinging skeleton cowboy named Deadwest and his goat sidekick from hell, Billy. Together, they review obscure B-movies from yesteryear and today while on comical sci-fightin’ rodeo adventures in the wild weird west with a kaleidoscope of monstrous characters. The show has been positively recognized by horror host heavyweights like Joe Bob Briggs and Svengoolie, crossed over with legendary filmmakers and their properties such as Charles Band at Full Moon Empire, and even hosted film fests for one of the leading horror magazines in the world, HorrorHound.
