Synopsis/Details
This is EP 3 of my original series - The Madman's Daily Unequivocal Comedy, which is my take on shows like Black Mirror and The Twilight Zone. Jailbreak is my tribute to some of my favorite horror movies like Halloween and Jaws and deals with a lot of different themes in the backdrop of a simple children's game of jailbreak on a summer night. Themes include - Suburban life, generational conflicts, religion, lore, manipulations, and friendship. I don't like giving a lot away, but Halloween is my all-time favorite horror movie. I think it is the most perfect example of how to make a horror movie work on a relatively low budget. I took some inspiration from that style, but I also know there would be a lot of Stranger Things type special effects. I can still watch that movie like Halloween over and over, plus the music is awesome. One of the screenwriters who wrote Halloween lived in the town over from where I live. Haddonfield was actually used in the actual Halloween movie but it is actually a town in southern New Jersey. I had this idea two years ago, but the entire story never formed. I revisited it recently and the ideas and images started to flow.

The Writer: Raymond Giuffrida

I am a screenwriter and songwriter. I've been working over the last few years on my series idea - The Madman's Daily Unequivocal Comedy, which is my take on shows like The Twilight Zone and Black Mirror. I have 12 episodes written for season one and many ideas for future episodes. Each episode features new characters/settings, although some episodes continue previous storylines. Also have three feature-length screenplays ready to be produced. Go to bio
