Ghosts Vs Zombies

In the spirit of "High Plains Drifter", the ghost of a local politician who was murdered a year earlier returns to find out who killed him. Shortly after his arrival, the city is overrun with zombies.

I haven't quite yet worked up a storyline, but I've thought up a couple of interesting scenes.

The city has a corrupt mayor, who does what all corrupt mayors do in these movies, and was a political opponent of the slain politician.

At some point, the mayor gets infected by a zombie bite. While his loyal bodyguard is thinking of a possible escape, the mayor, now a zombie, makes some comment about "making an appeal to his new constituency", then kills & eats his bodyguard. A short time later, the slain politician shows up, & seeing that his former rival is now a zombie, pulls a gun & says "I always wanted to do this. Here's what I really think of your projected credit non-deferment policy!"

Of course, being a ghost, the slain politician can move freely amongst the zombies, as he collect guns & food for survivors.

In one scene, the slain politician has an encounter with his own cadaver, and has to shoot "himself" in the head.

That's about all I have for this one, except for a scene in which the slain politician encounters the ghosts of previous city leaders going back 200 years, but I'm not sure that would serve any purpose.

Wouldn't the slain politician be able to repossess himself? :question:

I'd thought about that, but I thought some angle having to do with this whole "separation of the confines of the body & freedom of the spirit" thing might work better, not to mention, it makes for an amusing situation.

I also thought about having the corrupt mayor's ghost coming back to make amends after the slain politician puts his zombie down, but this is one of those cases where I have a couple of scenes & I'm trying to build a script around it. No plot or storyline yet.

Edited to add: Would anyone be interested in writing an interactive b-flick based on any of the premises where we can all chip in?  I've done it before and the story takes some wild turns when each writer leaves off with a cliff hanger kinda thing.

Yes. Yes, yes, yes, let's do that some time!

A masked pro wrestling champion (perhaps El Hijo del Santo) is headed for a tour of Japan when suddenly bad weather forces an emergency landing of the plane in The Carpathian Mountains. Soon they are all headed for Transylvania. Also on the plane was a MMA fighter headed for Japan ( a Martial Arts master),  a hardnosed black detective, a former Olympic gold medalist female gymnast and a professor who specializes in the supernatural and who's been exhibiting an ancient Egyptian Mummy he claims can be brought back to life .  Soon they come across a mysterious, eerie castle, the  property of a fearsome Count, who has as his guest a scientific genius obsessed with extending life, a servant who's a hunchback and even more firightful surprises. As it turns outs, they've long been awaiting some guests but the Count warns them something decidedly out of ordinary , or as out of the ordinary as it gets for Transylvania, has been going on in the area of late.  There's been strange lights seen in the night skies, following which some say the dead are made to walk the Earth once again...and the Count fears these occurence are growing ever nearer to his castle's domain. Still to come...werewolves, zombies, aliens, a giant monster, a robot, pro wrestling, Kung Fu, a blood-draining murder mystery, and the formation of a supernatural team lead by a genetically enhanced El Hijo del Santo, designed to defend the Earth starting with Transylvania.

I've actualy been working on this one.

"Cyborg Zombie Dinosaurs!"

Some evil mastermind wants to overthrow the leaders of the planet, but he needs an army to do that.

"I could use men," he thinks to himself, "but men can be wounded, killed. They can be killed because they live. But what if i were to make an army of the UNDEAD?"

But his moment of glory soon fades. "Zombies are slow, soft, and dull witted. BUT What if I were to give them robotic limbs and implant an A.I. in their brains? GENIUS!"


Then basicly he decides to take it a step further and make them cornivourus dinosaurs instead of humans.

I want to do a flick about a vegitarian/vegan who becomes a zombie, and has more angst then Ann Rice ever dreamed of! Naturaly, its a chick flick...

Oh..oh! Why not one, where an executive working for the Sci-Fi channel gets hold of good movies, and actualy has them shown on the network!?....nah...just not believable...

A dentist scrapes stuff off the teeth of a nuclear plant worker. It grows into a blob like monster, that sucks the bones right out of people. PLACK, THE UNBELIVABLE!- " dental hygene just got a lot more important."

I have a couple ideas for truly terrible films.

Armageddon II
The mother of the original asteroid decides to attack Earth as revenge for her son's death. Featuring all of the surviving characters from the first film. More bad music, more inappropriate humor, more animal crackers for your summer movie pleasure.

King of the Grasshoppers
A deranged madman uses an unholy mix of science and technology to create three monstrous grasshoppers that inexplicably feed on human flesh. Using advanced brainwashing techniques, he attempts to use them in his bid to take over the world.

Pretty much the only idea I had for this one was that I wanted the guy who always says "We're all gonna die" be the one to survive through no effort of his own. I always sympathize with that character type for some reason.

So do I. It's because the poor guy only wants to get home safe!

And stop reading my thoughts! I had this idea too, it would start with the Bruce Cambell/Reggie Bannister/Corey Feldman type hanging upside down with their throaght slit.

No, it's not your fault, I didn't even mention it before.

I know. I was j/k. It's all good, though.
