Happy Holidays, everyone! Hope you’re doing great! My name’s Maurice. I’m a screenwriter (mainly Horror and Action), ghostwriter, commercial writer, pitch deck designer, and Stage 32 Lounge Moderator.
Who’s your favorite Holiday movie character? Mine is Jim Carrey’s Grinch. He’s so hilarious and weird!
And this weekend is Stage 32's Introduce Yourself Weekend (Friday the 20th - Monday the 23rd)! Introduce/reintroduce yourself. www.stage32.com/lounge/introduce_yourself

Hello Maurice! Happy Holidays to you and yours! My favorite holiday character is, and will always be, Rudolph. <3
Happy Holidays to you and yours, Keely Kemp. I loved Rudolph growing up. I haven't seen Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer: The Movie in a long time. I might watch it this year.

Happy Holidays, Sandra Isabel Correia! I just came up with two holiday script ideas last night. One idea is for a short script and the other idea can be a short or feature. I loved ET as a kid. I had the ET plush toy. Hope you and your family have an amazing time on Christmas!

It's a hilarious movie, Billy Kwack! I might rewatch it this weekend. I watched the 2018 animated movie yesterday. It's funny! Have you seen it?

Hey Maurice Vaughan - always good to meet up on here. I'm not sure if I would count Charlie Brown as a holiday character but my favorite holiday show is "A Charlie Brown Christmas" so I'll have to stick with that. After that...John McClane!

Hey, Leonardo Ramirez. Always good to hear from you. Charlie Brown counts. A Charlie Brown Christmas is on my watch list this month. I might watch Die Hard too. And I might just watch Christmas movies the rest of the month. Home Alone, Christmas with the Kranks, A Christmas Story, etc.

I forgot to mention Home Alone 2 Maurice Vaughan. I’m fond of that one because it’s set in my birthplace of NYC and the slapstick is a bit more hardcore. Those bricks are brutal!

I'm not sure if I like Home Alone 1 or 2 more, Leonardo Ramirez. I like that Home Alone 2 has a bigger setting though. Yeah, those bricks are brutal! Harry and Marv really went through it!

Krampus is scary, Nick J Benson! I rewatched that movie the other day. Santa in the script I'm rewriting has some similarities to Krampus in "Krampus"

You're welcome, Sandra Isabel Correia. Thanks for the compliment! There's a lot of creative people on Stage 32 too, like you. I might write the holiday short script tomorrow. Have a great weekend!

Give me George Bailey in It's A Wonderful Life all day long. Everything, everywhere all at once Christmas character to me. John McLain comes in a distant second if helicopters and guns get involved. Happy and blessed holidays everyone!!

George Bailey is one of my favorite Holiday movie characters, Sam Sokolow. It's a Wonderful Life is probably my favorite black & white film. I need to rewatch that movie and study it. Happy Holidays!

Geena Davis as "Charly Baltimore" in "The Long Kiss Goodnight" (1996) written by Shane Black. Takes place during Christmas (like many of Black's scripts) and is badass and underrated but flopped bad. Too dark with too little feel good moments. But goddamn I love this movie. Geena was my first crush.

Hey, Michael Dzurak. I remember watching The Long Kiss Goodnight way back, I don't remember what happened in the movie. I need to rewatch it. Geena Davis is an incredible actress! She's in some of my favorite movies. I just found out she's in Blink Twice.

Maurice Vaughan nice to see you and happy holidays! My favorite Christmas character is John Mcclane, just because my entire family starts to go screwy during the holidays and wants to watch Christmas movies, so I always try to throw in some Christmas movies that I won't fall asleep and screw with them a little. :D

Maurice Vaughan well my family usually wants to watch a movie made by a Slovenian director in Poland called Letters to Santa. It's actually a nice movie and I like it, but I can usually only take one viewing per season and some others like Home Alone I need a couple of years in between. :)

Bill Murray's character Frank Cross in Scrooged. Honorable mention shoutouts to George Bailey, Clark W. Griswold, and of course John McClane.
Frank Cross and Ebenezer Scrooge in A Christmas Carol (1984) are tied for my favorite Scrooge character, Jason Mirch. Clark W. Griswold is one of my favorite Holiday movie characters. Chevy Chase is hilarious!
