Just if you're wondering why I'm doing this: I don't want this post to go to waste. I'm sending in my ideas. Why don't you?

Ah, screw it...

I would add to these but ya know, I don't want anyone stealing my fantastic ideas and making a fortune from them...

Trust me, thats the LEAST that I want to do.

I did say that you don't have to reveal everything about it and/or put all your ideas onto it. Those are just a few of mine.

Remember when we played this game something like two years ago, and actually almost wrote a movie?

I wasn't here then. I found this website about three weeks ago.

I wasn't saying that as a "Look what the stupid newbie did" comment.  I was just being nostalgic out loud.  Er, out print.  Er, whatever.

No, no, no, no, NO. I WASN'T saying that you were calling me a newbie. I meant I wasn't here at the time, that's all. No offence.


By the way, what do you think of Headless?

Heh.  Calm down, brother.  We're all friends here.  I don't take offence to much, and certainly not to anything you've done so far.  But if you talk about my mother, I keeeel you, MY MOTHER'S A SAINT!  Um...the valium has kicked in now.  I should be okay...yeah...
And what's Headless.  Let me guess, something else I've missed by coming in late and not reading all the posts, right?

Uh, Headless is reply No. 1.

Ah.  Sounds vaguely like something from one of the Scary Stories to Tell In the Dark books, except with gore.  Me likey gore.

Here's one:

Wave of the Dead
Horror

The plot, inspired by current events and the strange things they wash ashore:  A huge tsunami strikes the coast of South Africa.  The wave, having washed ashore many strange things from the deep, brought with it a strange box containing a plague that carries symptoms similiar to the ebola virus.  Once the victim is dead, the corpse re-animates and attacks the living.  About halfway into the movie, a race of fish creatures surfaces, carrying sophisticated technology allowing them to breathe on land and communicate in human dialect.  They destroy the zombies, explaining that the plague was their creation, an accident of scientific research that they thought was destroyed.  When people start turning up mauled viciously, it is discovered that the fish creatures are doing the killing, and that the plague was actually a bioweapon they had planned to use on an enemy race from a planet on the edge of the galaxy.  Now they are trying to destroy all traces of it and everyone it could have come in contact with before their enemies discover the weapon and attack first.

I burned up all my creativity with that plot line, which I just made up on the fly in about five minutes.  As such, I have no character names and will call everyone in the movie "Bill."

Y'know, not to toot my own horn or anything, but that's a damn nifty idea.  I think I may just use that...

Well, it does sound like the type of story we would have been told as kids, and probably were, at summer camp. Of course, and a lot of slasher flicks have used this, a counselor would then jump out with their shirt pulled up to the top of their head.

If you plan to actually have a headless character in a video, that is a difficult effect to pull off realistically.

It does open itself up for humor with a potentially clumbsy killer.

It also opens itself up to weird horror as the killer can decapitate its victims and then place the head on itself effectively integrating the personality of the camper as a killer.

Of course I cannot let this go without making the comment: well that certainly gives new meaning to 'getting head'. (:

What movie did you almost write? And what thread was it? Can I see that thread?

I don't mind giving out my ideas freely, as you can see in the related thread "Make your own B-movie!" The way I see it, people in Hollywood are too dumb to see that all of the original ideas are to be found in places like this anyway, and besides, I'd be rather pleased if someone actually used my ideas, since I never seem to be able to flesh out the dialogue and other details myself. (And if you happen to be some kind of B-movie maker, chances are I'll never hear whether you used my idea or not, so it won't make any difference if you make a total hash of it.)

That idea I once had for a "boy switches places with girl" flick, for example: why hasn't some Hollywood writer already thought of that? There was that "father switches places with his son" plot in Vice Versa and it worked just fine, but no one ever tried playing with a boy-and-girl tag team before. As one of my college acquaintances said when I mentioned that idea to him once: "Man, if that happened to me, I'd be the cleanest girl in the school because I'd always be taking showers!"

I'm guessing that the reason why this story hasn't been done yet is that it really needs a husband-and-wife tag team of writers to get it done properly. I've been a single male all my life, and don't really know much about how the girls live, so I can't guess whether the girl's reaction to suddenly being a guy would be anything like my acquaintance's. (Guy: "Dude! I always wondered what it was like to carry these things around on your chest all day." Girl: "Whoa! I always thought it would be pretty neat to have one of these!") Maybe with all of the sordid (and hence short-lived) affairs and sheltered living in Hollywood, they simply haven't been able to find a pair of writers who can get along and write a believable version of this story either.

Brother Ragnarok, that's cool.

Anyway,


Lester (I got the idea off of the cartoon Ned Nightmare, might change his name) is pretty much a "fresh" corpse; he isn't rotted in any way. Now the way he sees is kinda wierd. He wants the head of one of the kids, but will kill others and use their heads to find his way around. Here's one:

He fights a guy who shoots him really badly. He cuts off his head, then picks it up and puts it on his neck stump. He says "f**k YOU!!!" with the head and spits on the body before throwing off the head and crushing it. Because he can't see (and doesn't know his way around the buildings) he mainly stays outside until he hasa head to see with.


If you want to know what Creature looks like, get either "The Deltora Book of Monsters"or "Deltora Quest 2: The Shadowlands". It looks like a Vraal.

What do you think of those monsters?

Now I'm gonna steal Brother R's idea and go make a fortune from it...

::punches Odinn in the neck::
This is what I get for trusting geeks on the internet.  Wait, I'm a geek on the internet.

Hey! I resemble that remark!

As do we all, brother.  Look around you.  Would anyone but geeks start a thread about whether or not Gamera could take Godzilla?

Well, my wife actually refers to me as a 'dork'. Perhaps it's the same thing to her?

But WAIT, odin7 and Brother R. You don't know the ENDING!!!

Trust me, it's a killer. You'll never guess it.

(chuckles evilly)

No pun intended?


I'll take a stab (heh..heh) at the ending.

Does it come before the final credits?

Ohhh! Hey, it IS a pun.

I didn't notice it. Thanks, Menard.

What do you think of that idea? (Reply No. 2) The mutant is an "Ugly Motherf**ker", is around 7 feet tall, and does some really nasty s**t. Here's an example:

- It sticks its teeth (they're really long; like dog teeth) underneath the face of some guy and sucks all of the flesh underneath his face out.

-It snaps a guy in half on a pipe after stabbing him with his gun. (i got that off of 28 Days Later)

Nasty?

Oh yeah, forgot to tell you: They baby isn't "Born". It explodes out of the mother. and rips it's way out.

Some deaths:

-One of the soldiers is killed when his gun jams and explodes, filling him up with shrapnel
-A guy gets killed when a gasoline tank explodes, lights him on fire, and the explosion hurls a humvee onto him.
-The Mutant Baby gets a grenade shoved into its mouth, gets stabbed in the jaw, gets both of its feet blown off at close range by a shotgun, and fals into a giant ventillation fan.
-Guy's face lands on a broken bottle.



Squeamish enough for ya?


"Do ya feel lucky, punk?"
