Horror Movie Ideas

Hi, I would like to see some good horror movie Ideas. I am going to be studying film in LA in May soon, and anything to get my muse going would be great.


For this contest I would like preferably horror themes and darkness, and themes that could be created with a set and minimal special fx.


Nothing way too gory or gross, plus it's just not that doable.


I would love to see

-good imagery and show not tell
-creative characters and good plot development
-anything that would make a good movie- don't worry, I won't steal your ideas.


Hope I get good entries.

    Are you going for feature-length or short film?

      either way. At the end of next year I'll be doing my project on a feature film. Glad you're interested!

    My script was edited a little. More has been added and (personally) it gets more interesting.

    I have entered part of my sort story which I am currently writing. So far there is 8000 words in total, I could compile and enter the whole story if you preferred. Not a script, I know but this is great for a low budget film as most of the movie takes place in this ones guys home... and his disaster shelter.
