if you were to make a good horror movie,what kind of story would you tell?

Answer 1

MY LIFE AND MY FAVORITE BAND MAYHEM AND THEIR BACKGROUNDS

Answer 2

I would tell the story of Yahoo! Answers and the questions being asked. There would be a main character who is answering questions, even the rediculous ones that the asker cannot spell or write correctly. Then, someone asks a stupid question, like the one yummymummy asked:

Mother's who breastfeed way too long,DISTURBING... is no excuse to breastfeed a 3yr old!?
Should breastfeeding(over 1yrs )of age be considered child abuse?
Breastfeeding benifits a child (immunity) to the age of Nine months,so what gives?

Then the main character replies:

They say that once the baby starts to teethe, then they should stop. If the mother really wants to keep giving the baby breast milk, then she can pump it.

Where she gets a message:

From: yummymummy

Subject: your answer to the breastfeeding question

Message: Why do you need to stop when they have teeth? Do they turn into baby cows? Have you ever tasted fromula? Have you ever read the label?


And she goes back to that page and answers:

Did your kids get taken away because of it?

And now the main character has a psychopathic serial killer stalker hellbent on getting all kids breast fed until they are 30.

Answer 3

First off...as someone who is struggling to get his own Great American Novel off the ground....thank you! Just your question gave me an idea or three. Points aside you've helped make my day.

So what story would I tell...probably something with a hint of H. P. Lovecraft to it, in that the horror comes from people being just plain *overwhelmed and helpless* in the face of the unknown, and in the face of something that is *more* than what a human can even imagine, never mind handle.

And the twisted part. No tentacles required. :) No Cthulu references either.

Just have a generation of these real-life magical school girls show up, and play off on how odd, and alien they are, and how unfathomable their motives or agenda is.

You know, kind of like the deal with _The Omen_ (the original, thank you), only with a whole generation of kids like *that*, and no "Good Book" giving you half a clue or any fair warning as to what they are up to. ;)

As in all you know is, suddenly there are these surreal little kids, little girls who can just *do things* people should NOT be able to do, and they are flat-out messing all of human society and civilization up, because....they have these abilities, are doing all this weird creepy stuff, killing folks and trashing cities...

And they talk to NO ONE, nobody but each other it seems.

Scary enough?

Answer 4

Actually, I'm in the process right now of writing two films. The company that I co-own was contacted by a director to co-write a film about a family of cannibals. In fact, HorrorSociety.com did an article on us. I'm also in the process of writing a zombie film trilogy. BUT, it is NOTHING like any other. No cliche's like you see in the countless other zombie films. This film has the things you want to see happen in all the others, but don't.

Answer 5

Something that could really happen. Like Silence of then Lambs. A stalker/killer deceiving people and killing them in some wiley way that makes people afraid to go out to check the mail or to the gorocery store!

Answer 6

I would base it off of Laurell K Hamilton's Books about a woman who raises the dead so that they can be asked questions by their loved ones, She also kills vampires in her spare time by working with the police. It's set in St. Louis and vampires have "come out" and walk among the living. It's a wonderful series.

Answer 7

It'd be about a young girl that lives a life of easy street then one day all is taken away by the future monster..She finds herself destitute,turning into a street urchin,bound for doom,and thru it all she meets under world characters that challenge her sanity..only in the end she commits suicide..then it turns out to be a world dream...Main Star...Paris Hilton...who else?

Answer 8

A story that actually makes since and makes people want to watch for the plot and to be scared.

Answer 9

A remake of the german classic "Kondome des Graue." It's a great foreign movie that had me shaking in fear the entire time. It's about a mad scientist who creates an army of killer condoms to attack the world.

Answer 10

Mine would be called "West Wing Massacre". It would be about a little boy that went crazy when he saw his parents die in front of his eyes. My friends and I wrote the story back in 3rd grade and we're looking to re-write it.

Answer 11

I'd tell the story of a down and out loser who gets up at the same time every day, drags his butt to the same job every day and does the same things every weeked. Wait...that would be my autobiography.
