Can someone think of a plot for a horror script. Because I have a script that were doing in my english class that has to be due by the 29th of this month, for a book to get published, and I can't think of any plots or ideas for a horror script.

Can anyone think of something, because anything would help me out..

Try something else besides horror.  By sticking to that genre, you limit yourself.

And any story worth doing probably won't be given away.

I cant pick another genre, my teacher specifically assigned diffrent genres to different people so there would be a miz of different varieties of scripts.

I dont want a whole story, just some sort of idea or plot, because i can't think of any right now

I always wanted to see a movie about that whole "bloody maary" myth?  you know that one where you go into the bathroom turn off the lights and say bloody marry thrree times and she pops out the mirror and kills you.  it would be hard to make a whole movie out of it though

That seems interesting... I might think of doing that, but the people only die in the bathrooms or what??    I was kinda thinking like a slasher type of script..

Why a slasher? Why not a thriller or something with a little more thought?

I tend to write slashers more faster and better than thrillers.
I ahven't wrote a thriller before, and I don't think I'm planning on one yet.

So, u have an idea for a slasher? I could just do a typical killer and a group of kids.

Bloody Mary was the first script i ever wrote. It was like 30 pages and was not that good but it was interesting. I dont have it nemore becuz my computer crashed and i lost all my shit a while back. But a good horror plot would be this.

Summary- A group of explorers uncover an ancient tomb which dates back to over a million years ago. But what they don't know is that the tomb is the ground where lucifer was buried.

Something along those lines would be interesting.

Andrew, that sounds interesting...
But, who is Lucifer. I heard of it before, but can't remember. Isn't he like  God's right hand man that turned on him? I remembered a lesson we had in church one day.How can he kill people, and for what reason?

The devil. Gods right hand man that turned on him (your right). God defeated him and he fell on Earth. And i think the thought of where lucifer falls would make a good setting for a horror. And he does not need to kill people. You can have strange occurences and hauntings and stuff. Scary things. People can die from causes that are inside the tomb.

Lucifer is the devil, satan, etc.  He was God's top angel until he turned on him and was cast down into hell.  He's the devil, he can command demons and whatnot and a reason, well he's evil.

Mike.

Alright, going along with Andrew's idea, what if he possesses people ala
"The Exorcist"? Since evil isn't really a being that can be stopped, you know.

That is my point exactly (well the evil never being defeated) but i wouldnt aim towards posession in this. It has been used in one of the best horror movies. I would try something different. But thats my opinion.

Oh ok, i get Lucifer now. So, like, he falls from heaven or sumthing, and posseses someone, and the person that is possessed goes crazy and kills his partners?

Yeah, maybe it could be paranoia, so you think it's the devil and then *WHAM* it's really the people and nobody else.
