Carl Ellsworth wrote the episode Halloween. He has also written for Cleopatra 2525 and Xena: Warrior Princess. Carl wrote the screenplay for the Wes Craven movie Red-Eye. He spoke to the Louisville Courier Journal about how he left the Buffy writing team: “One day I was called into Joss Whedon’s office expecting to get notes on the script, but he said, “Carl, we are taking the script away, and we have nothing else for you.” They fired me. It still shakes me up to think about it. I had never been fired before. As I look back, there are so many reasons. It just wasn’t a fit. … When you are a staff writer, it’s an entry-level position, and you have to learn when to pitch ideas and when not to. At that time, I was a little too green, and I don’t think I was able to capture the voices of the characters in high school. It was a personal blow, and I had a classic depression — I couldn’t type a word. That lasted about six months. … I got back going with Animorphs, a Nickelodeon show.” |
