Lets make up a Horror Flick!!!

[Jack Corbett]

This is just a little Game I've thought of.

Okay, here's how it goes: Sombody suggests a genre for the movie (e.g. Dino flick, Slasher, Space, etc.). Next, other people can make up the story, characters, key scenes, deaths, ending... it's limitless. Also, you can start your own part of it if you want, you can plan everything on your own, etc.

Here's an example:

GENRE: Dinosaur movie
NAME: Dinosaur Carnage
and then make up the rest or let others do it for you.

Have fun...

[Lycurgus1985]

Ok, I got one.  Here it goes...

------------------------

GENRE: Supernatural/Slasher
NAME: Playtime

------------------------

In a house, during a quiet serene night in the village of Kenston, Tobias Dunche lays in his bed, sleeping.  A moment later, his daughter, Selena, creeps into the room, trembling a little.  Selena makes it over to the bed and shakes her father gently.

SELENA: Daddy?

Tobias wakes up, groggy at first, then alert to his surroundings.  Looking down at Selena, Tobias' face turns to concern.

TOBIAS: Selena, what's wrong?

SELENA: Daddy...

Selena turns away for a moment, her voice breaking in a frightened tone.

SELENA: ...I'm really scared!

Tobias crawls out of bed and approaches his daughter from behind, putting a hand on her shoulder.

TOBIAS: Oh, Selena.  You know I'd never let anything happen to you.  I promise.

Selena turns to face her father, looking up at him with quivering but hopeful eyes.

SELENA: Do you really mean that, Daddy?  Will you protect me?

Tobias kneels down to his daughter's level of height and puts both hands on her shoulders now.

TOBIAS: Yes, of course I mean that!  I will always protect you.  I would never want to lose you, Selena.  You're too precious to me.  You're my daughter... I love you.  I know this news of the children in the neighboring villages disapperaing has you worried.  It worries me too, to think that I could lose you...

Tobias takes a moment to regain his composure as the thought of losing Selena hits his mind.

TOBIAS: ...But I won't ever let that happen!  I don't want either of us to suffer like that ever again... after losing Mom.  Trust me, you will be safe.  You have nothing to worry about.

Selena looks into her father's eyes, her eyes wet.

SELENA: Daddy?

Selena embraces her father in a hug, smiling.

SELENA: You're the best!  I knew you'd always protect me!  Thank you.

Tobias lets out a cheery laugh, embracing his daughter in return.

TOBIAS: Oh, you're welcome baby!  It's good to see you in high spirits for once.  It's been so long since I've seen that smile...  Anyway, your 7th birthday is tomorrow.  I've planned out a whole day for us.

SELENA:  I can't wait.

TOBIAS: I'm glad to see you excited.

Tobias glances over at the clock, seeing it is nearly midnight.  Tobias then turns back to Selena and stands up, taking her hand in his.

TOBIAS: Well, we had better get back to bed.  It's much too late for us to be up.  I'll walk you back to your room, ok?

SELENA: Ok, Daddy.

........................

Tobias leads Selena into her room, then hoists her up, and carries her to her bed.  Tobias then sets Selena down onto the bed, tucking her in.

TOBIAS: Good night, Selena.  I love you.  Remember, we have a big day tomorrow so try to get some rest, ok?

SELENA: Alright, Daddy.

TOBIAS: And remember, if you need me at all during the night, just call for me, ok?

SELENA: I will.  Good night, Daddy.  I love you too.

TOBIAS: Sleep tight.

Tobias kisses Selena on her forehead and slowly stands up, leaving the room.  

........................

In the hallway, on his way to his room, Tobias hears a strange noise come from the living room, like something banging against the floor.  Cautiously, Tobias enters the living room to inspect the source of the noise.  Letting out a sigh, Tobias sees one of Selena's presents, wrapped up in a big box, had fallen over.  Tobias walks over and picks the present up, placing upright against the wall.  Tobias then exits the room and heads back to his bedroom.  

However, as Tobias leaves the room, the present begins to shake, as if something is trying to get out.

........................

Selena opens her eyes, hearing the faint, strange sounds drift into her room from the living room.  Crawling out of bed and standing right next to it, Selena listens closer to the odd noises that have peaked her curiosity.  However, Selena begins to feel a wave of fright fill her.

SELENA: What is that noise...?!

Suddenly, a deep yet very sweet sounding voice fills the room.

VOICE: Join us...

Selena backs up against the wall, shivering.  Suddenly, the room begins to change different colors as the sound and voices of children fill the room.

SELENA: What's going on?!

Selena, quaking at this point, hears her bedroom creak open.  Selena watches in awe, as some indistinct figure enters the room, laughing in a sweet yet malicious voice.

........................

As Tobias is about to crawl into his bed, he hears the high pitched scream of Selena followed by the sound of a window being smashed.  Tobias immediately darts out of the room.

TOBIAS: Oh my God!  Selena!!!!

As Tobias makes it to Selena's room, he only finds it empty, with shattered glass all over the floor.  Tobias falls to his knees, grabbing the sides of his head in a wave of emotions.

TOBIAS:  Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!  SELENA!!!!!!!!!

........................

The sun begins to rise, however, it is still bleak out.  Tobias sits outside of his house, frozen in a melancholy expression, as the police exit out the front door.  The chief of police walks up to Tobias and tries to comfort him in a futile attempt.

POLICE CHIEF: I'm sorry, Tobias...  There's not much evidence to go off of, just like all the other cases.  I really hope Selena doesn't become another lost case the others though.

Tobias just sits there in the same position.  The police chief sighs and walks away.

........................

Tobias enters his daughter's room and walks over to her piano.  Tobias has a seat on the piano bench and fixes a gaze on the piano keys.  Suddenly, a grim rage overtakes his gloomy facial features and he bashes his fists into the piano keys.  Tobias shoots out of his seat and shouts out.

TOBIAS: You bastards!!!!!!  You took my Selena!  Give her back, otherwise I'll make you pay by sending you to Hell myself!

Suddenly, the tune of "Death Valzer" begins to play on the piano all by itself.  Tobias cocks his head back down at the piano keys, seeing them move all by themselves.  Tobias stumbles backwards, nearly tripping over the piano bench, and bumps into the wall.  Tobias' eyes widen as a bunch of apparitions of children appear and dance around the piano as the tune continues to play.  When the tune reaches its' end, the apparations vanish from sight.  

As Tobias is about to race out of the room, he notices a piece of wrapping paper flutter down on the piano keys.  Hesitantly, Tobias approaches the piano and picks the piece of wrapping paper up.  Recognizing the wrapping paper, Tobias darts out of the room and into the living room.  As he reaches the area where he had placed the presents, he notices that the present that fell over last night is missing.

TOBIAS: It's missing... Why didn't I notice that before?  Where could it be?

Suddenly, a noise stirs Tobias' attention to the fireplace as the box and wrapping paper the present came in flutter onto the fresh pile of wood inside.  Tobias approaches the fireplace and peaks inside.  Rummaging through the wrapping paper, Tobias discovers a folded cardboard tag.  Opening up the inside, Tobias finds a poem that reads:

Journey hither little ones
Come forth where turrets rise high
Where youth forever retains its' beauty
Where dusk is the beginning of new life

As Tobias finishes reading the poem, he notices a faint burning smell that seems to be coming from above him.  As he looks up, Tobias jumps back in fright as something drops a burning log from above in the fireplace.  Tobias watches, adrenaline running through him, as the log hits the bottom of the fireplace and ignites the logs and wrapping paper.  Wiping his brow, Tobias checks the back of the tag to find the name of the store, Boakes' Toys of Enchantment, in the neighboring town of Hildebrandt ,from which he had bought Selena's present from, inscribed on it.

........................

Tobias arrives in Hildebrandt near dusk and approaches Boakes' Toys of Enchantment, hoping to speak to the store owner, Toby Boakes, before he closed for the night.  However, Tobias was too late because as soon as a little girl and her mother walked out of the store, somebody flipped the sign from Open over to Close.  Tobias cursed under his breath and kicked the ground.  As he stood there for a moment, Tobias overheard the little girl and mother's conversation as they walked away.

LITTLE GIRL: Thank you, Mommy!  He's absolutely adorable.

MOTHER: You're welcome, Sherry.  Now come, let's hurry home.

SHERRY: Yes, Mother.

Before they disappeared out of sight, Tobias noticed the little girl was carrying a marionette similar to the one he had bought Selena for her birthday.  Tobias, having nothing else to do until tomorrow morning when he could question Toby, he decided to rent out a room at the village's inn.  

........................

Tobias entered the inn and approached the desk clerk.

DESK CLERK: Yes sir, how may I help you?

TOBIAS: I would like a room for the night.

........................

Later that night, as Tobias was sleeping, a bloodcurdling scream filled the entire village.  Tobias shot out of bed and looked out the window of his room to see the mother of Sherry run outside, covered in blood, screaming and weeping.  Tobias ran out of the inn and headed outside.  Tobias ran over to the hysterical mother, a crowd developing around them, and grabbed her by the shoulders.

TOBIAS: What happened?!

SHERRY's MOTHER:  My little Sherry... She's been murdered!  It killed her!  That wicked toy killed her!!!!!!!

Sherry's mother collapsed to the ground, crying uncontrolably at this point, as Tobias darted toward the house from which the mother ran from.

........................

As Tobias entered the child's room, he let out a gasp as he saw the now lifeless Sherry face down in a huge pool of her blood.  A demonic giggle filled the room, grasping Tobias' attention as he turned around and saw the marionette sitting in the corner, giggling, with a knife in its' hand.  Suddenly, the marionette shot up from its' resting place and ran for the window, jumping out.  Tobias ran over to the window and watched the murderous toy flee.

TO BE CONTINUED...

------------------------

Alright, now it's someone else's job to continue the story.  Keep in mind though not to end it as I will do so myself.  ;)

[Jack Corbett]

Damn...

That was WAY better than I expected... Cool.


I didn't even think I'd get a reply on this.

[Jack Corbett]

Dawley was sitting in the surveilance van, eating a packet of chips. Roberts was trying to plug a console into monitor fruitlessly, while Blake was impatiently waiting for Roberts to finish.

BLAKE: C'mon man, I wwanna play my f**kin' game.

ROBERTS: Wait...

BLAKE: I've been waiting for hours, man.

Roberts turned and stared at him.

ROBERTS: It's been ten minutes, dumbass.

BLAKE: Meh.

Roberts resumed. Then Dawley started laughing.

BLAKE: (Sounding annoyed) What? What the f**k are ya laughin' at, man?

DAWLEY: We're just like little kids.

Dawley turns around and looks at them.

DAWLEY: Well, at least you guys are.

Roberts and Blake stared at him.

DAWLEY: (Laughing) I'm just kiddin'you man!

BLAKE: (Annoyed) We know.

Suddenly a red light started to flash.

DAWLEY: Okay we got a location on the little bastard.

A man pops out of the front. This is Sawick.

SAWICK: Where?

DAWLEY: Uh... it appears to be going west on... Shuser boulevard, heading... heading up to the White Household. Little f**ker...

SAWICK: Lets roll!

The van starts up and screeches along the road.

BLAKE: Hey Dawley , is this gonna be like the Australian incident?

DAWLEY: (Annoyed) For the last f**king time, that was the...

BLAKE: Yeah, yeah, I know, I know...

Blake leans closer, grinning.

BLAKE: By the way, were some of them kangaroos?

Dawley stares at him.

.............

Okay, that's my take.

By the way, there's a back story to Dawley. He's in a script I'm writing for a movie I'll shoot with my friends. I'm keeping all hush about it, but I play a character called Brian who is bitten and becomes one (I'm keeping anonymous, try to guess hat it is). Anyhow, I eventully get torn in half in a door and get kicked around a room.

I've given clues, guess what the movie is about...



"Name's Ash. (Cocks shotgun) Housewares."

[Lycurgus1985]

Uhhhhhhhhhhhhh...

I guess I should have specified the setting a bit more clearer.  I thought it was clear but obviously not.  The movie is set in old time villages, like those old SNES RPGs.  In other words, no modern day technology.  Sorry man.  It's well written but what you wrote ends up completely disregarding the setting I had had described/set up.  Sorry man but if you could write something different or at least revise it to fit with setting, I'd much appreciate it.

[Jack Corbett]

Ah, s**t... sorry man, I misunderstood. Misconception.

Still, good idea. Hows this?

PLEASE NOTE: You don't have to continue with the following idea. I am already writing a script for it

GENRE: Zombie flick
NAME: ATTACK!!! of the Living Undead.
PLOT:
While out camping, a guy gets bitten by a swarm of ants. When he gets back, he zombifies and attacks some people. We end up with about thirty of these things. The guys friends get stuck in their summer home until an agent from the organisation, S.A.R.S., shows up. Cue the use of golf clubs, machine guns (Lt. Dawley), a chair and cars.

By the way, the title forms when a head explodes and showers onto the screen.

[Jack Corbett]

Ah, since I screwed up last time, how's this:

....................

Milton was walking down the dirt road, enjoying the cold night air. The stars were bright, Milton thought, as he continued on his brisk pace. He loved midnight strolls, but he kept thinking something was unusual. Then it hit him.

It wasn't silent.

He could hear some people yelling, they sounded angry, frustrated, and overall, scared. He paused and listened. After a short while the noises faded, then stopped. Milton breathed a sigh of relief, and walked for a bit more. Suddenly his shoe kicked something. He jumped and looked down at his feet. Lying there was a little marionette. He laughed at how afraid he had been, picked it up, and looked at it.

The marionette had a little suit on. Trousers, a long-sleeved white shirt, and a no-sleeve jacket. It had a thick brush of brown hair on its head, and a gentle, almost welcoming, smile on it's face.

MILTON: Urghh. You look like a bloody clown...

Milton had a deep childhood fear of clowns. Nothertheless, he had some children that would like it. Three. And his wife was expecting. Only two months into her pregnancy. Then he remembered.

MILTON: Ahh, shoot... the Keylans...

The Keylans were their next-door neighbours - there were four of them - and they were coming to dinner tonight. Milton shrugged. He had plenty of time. Before pocketing the marionette, Milton noticed something underneath it's shoe. He looked at it. in the dim light he was able to make out some writing:

"WILLARD"

Milton stared at it and spoke, although he knew he was speaking to an inanimate object.

MILTON: Well then, "Willard", I don't want you, but I have good news. My kids will love you. You'll have fun, buddy.

Milton pocketed the marionette and continued walking.

....................

In the dark, Milton didn't notice Willard's smile get just a little bit wider.

....................



By the way, Lycurgus, what century does this happen in? The 1800's ?

[Lycurgus1985]

As far as the time period goes, yeah, it's about 1800's.

[Jack Corbett]

Lycurgus, you do the next part. I'm tired as hell.

[Lycurgus1985]

Man oh man, I don't get it.  Why is this one not catching?  Is it too involved for people to give it a go or something?  :p
I mean, seriously, it's a horror movie about marrionettes killing kids so far!  And there's still more to come.

-------------------------

Tobias, motolov cocktail in hand, ran toward Boakes' Toys of Enchantment store, ready to break the door.  After several shoulder rams, the door gave way and Tobias entered, anger consuming him.

TOBIAS: TOBY, YOU BASTARD!  GET OUT HERE RIGHT NOW!

Tobias pulled a match from his pocket, ready to strike it.

TOBAIS: TOBY!  GET OUT HERE RIGHT NOW OTHERWISE I'M BURNING THIS GODFORSAKEN STORE TO THE GROUND!

At that moment, someone approached him from the back and cracked him on the side of his head with the back handle of a scythe.  Tobias fell to the ground, clutching his head in pain.  Disoriented, Tobias hardly noticed that his unknown assailant was raising its' weapon, ready to strike.  As Tobias' vision cleared slightly, he saw a woman with a malevolent smirk on her face, bringing the scythe down to make contact with Tobias' chest.  

By rolling out of the way, the psychotic woman missed Tobias and got the machete stuck in the floor.  However, when Tobias rolled away, he pushed into a shelf which lost balance and fell over on top of him, trapping him underneath.  The woman armed with the machete freed her weapon from the floor, splinters flying, and approached again.  As he futilely tried to crawl out from underneath the shelf, Tobias slid his arm out and set the motolov cocktail on the floor, then pulled out the match again and lit it.  As the woman reached him, Tobias picked up the explosive weapon and threw it at the vicious female.  Slowly the fire spread through the shop as Tobias continued to free himself from underneath the shelf, almost out.  

Finally sliding out, Tobias jumped to his feet and contemplated whether he should run or retrieve Toby from upstairs before the fire spread there too.  Thinking about it for a moment, Tobias realized that he still needed Toby to answer some questions for him.  As he turned toward the stairs, Tobias saw Toby standing before him, his eyes and lip twitching in an emotional upset.

TOBIAS: Toby, come on!  We have to get...

Tobias let out a choked gag as Toby grabbed a hold of his neck, squeezing tightly, and then threw him over the counter.



The woman let out howling screams of pain and suffering as the flames engulfed her.  After a minute of running around like a human torch, the woman fell to her knees and ceased to live.

-------------------------

Ok, and that's all I'm writing for now.

[Jack Corbett]

Lycurgus, how about this:

Milton gets back to the house with Willard and the Keylans are there. Altogether there are now nine people there. Then the mob, who have been following the marionette, find the house where Milton and the others are in and they seal them in. Then Willard goes into killer mode, stalking everyone and killing the people in the house. Maybe at some point he gets out and starts to kill the mob outside, but goes back to the house to finish off the people inside. You know, leave no witnesses, etc...

Sorry about not continuing to the story, but I'm watching Jaws for the first time in years. I'll write another part a bit later. What do you think of those ideas?

Oh, and can you please visit the B-film Roleplaying thread? Thanks.


"Do ya feel lucky, punk?"

[Lycurgus1985]

Man, I've been away too long.

I'll go ahead and continue the story in my next post.

And Jack Corbett, that sounds like a fairly good continuation, but I don't think the mob thing would work out.  But also, we'll have to play it by ear somewhat.  I'd say we're about 20-30 minutes in.  There's still the finale at the castle! :))

[none]

Wha kind of stupid story is this?

[Menard]

My question is: Why would you hunt down this topic just to ask that question? (:
