Alright, here we go—let’s dig into this! A ghost roach haunting a dad & daughter? That got layers! Beyond the laughs, I see a mirror for transformation. A closed-minded dad, challenge by the impossible, forced to open his mind—or at least try. I can just imagine him facing off with this little undead critter, wrestling with more than just bug spray.

Thanks for rating and commenting, Mista Martel! Yep, that's how it goes down in the script. The dad doesn't use bug spray though (I thought about using spray in the script).
I'm pitching the script, Billy Kwack. I outlined and wrote the script as one of my November Write Club goals.
