SUICIDE WARNING
THERE IS THINGS TO THIS PLOT/STORY ID LIKE TO ADD THAT WOULD ADD A DARKER CONNOTATION.
I TOOK INSPIRATION FROM ‘obsession (2026)’ and incorporated the be careful what you wish for message in the plot.
This is meant to be a lot more about awkwardness and that weird feeling you get in tense moments.
It is not a slasher horror.
Also wouldn’t say it’s nessacarily a psychological horror, but it would lean towards that.
It would start with a blank screen and laughter.
The movie would be about A young man struggling with finding a career path, doing the occasional comedic job on stage. His jokes would never get laughs. Maybe slight chuckles or coughs. But one night, he does one more stand up. This time nobody laughs. Dead silence. 2nd hand embarrassment galore. After A grueling 3 minute bit, of nothing but unfunny jokes and awkward looks. The comedian would go home and cry. The backstory of this character would be about how he would always make his family laugh, but, unlike traditional standards, got all the support in the world. Yet when it was time to make it big, he could never get anyone to laugh at his jokes. These backstory flashes would last a few seconds. Nothing enough to make it a sob story but make give the characters purpose meaning. After these flashes, he opens his eyes and says “I wish I was the funniest comedian in the world”. The next day he continues living his life, but something’s different. The tone of the movie changed from that awkward stance to everyone being upbeat and positive towards the MC. The comedian would eventually do another stand up gig after just barely getting a call from his local club. He would say terrible jokes. No better than before. But everyone would laugh. Not laughs that come from laughter. But overbearing laughter. It would create awkwardness, but not in the sense of before. Not embarrassment, but confusion and a sense of difference. When his small bit was done, he came off stage and became a hit. Everybody loved him. They laughed. Too much. He would continue these gigs, going higher and higher in the food chain of popularity. Then finally, he’d be in a business room. He’d ask for serious advice and talk to other comedians. They’d just laugh. The comedian was serious but they’d just LAUGH. There was one problem with his midnight wish. No one would take him serious. This is where the more horror part would start and his life would go from comedian to darkness like that. That awkward state never left. But, changed how it looked. He hadn’t noticed the flaw. But only realized too late. He’d try to reverse it or beg to the sky. But nothing would work. He’d try to kill himself, and the movie would end only by the doctors laughing at what happened. Not saving him. It would end on a blank screen. Only followed by laughter. The same laughter at the start.
