Posted this question on my wall as well. What page length is too short to bother? 150 is the maximum as stated in the rules. My current play is 76 with an easy 85-90 if I add deleted/optional scene(s), very controversial so not sure if I should add . Any info greatly appreciated.

Dont make it 100 pages plus just for the sake of it. A lot of horror flicks are about 80-90 pages and also contained pieces. For example Phone Booth. That said try to get it to at least 85 pages by going over your scenes again and seeing where you can add more depth and colour especially in Act 2 and 3.
Thank you for the input, please accept my invites . Thinking 85-90ish for sure, would love to get 110 but just not in the story. Have been going from beginning to end, many edits. Trying to add any depth, detail, etc. Without overwriting and boring reader and hopefully prospective production CO. I quite certainly dove into the deep end with this one. Full length screenplay as more or less my first work. However I am having a blast, learning much through my good fellow creatives on S32. Thanks to all, and hopefully we meet up on stage.
