My New Project Is Out! "Children Of The New World" Please check it out :))!!

My New Project Is Out! "Children Of The New World" Please check it out :))!!

I don't want to reveal too much about the plot, but I'd love to hear what you think of the video from a technical standpoint.

There's still some text I need to add before the interview footage.

Also, if anyone's interested in doing some amateur voice acting for the video, feel free to hit me up! I honestly have no idea what to do about the voices lol.

Here's a brief summary of the story:

Through an experiment, it was conclusively proven that there is no life after death, and that this is the absolute universal truth. Some time later, a being claiming to be an angel descends from the heavens, dividing the world between believers and skeptics.

Tape 1 (the one I'm currently working on) is called "Interview With an Angel."

The following tapes are titled "Children of the New World," though I don't want to reveal anything about those just yet haha.

By the way, I just want to clarify that even though I'm using the FBI tape format, that's the only cliché I'm intentionally leaning into. I'm not going to rely on the usual analog horror tropes like sudden loud noises or faces randomly distorting to create scares. I have some different ideas for how I want to build the horror instead.

I wish Robert Eggers would make his own movie about Krampus! Here's my concept poster (Not AI)

Manifesting this 🙏🙏

Who would u cast as Krampus? I think Willaim Dafoe would be perfect for this role.

Who are your top 10 hottest characters in slasher movies?

Here is my personal top 10 list of the finest characters to ever grace a slasher flick lol

1 - Tommy Jarvis (Friday the 13th Part 6)

Hands down THIS IS THE HOTTEST SCREAM KING to ever exist. Specifically in Part 6 played by Thom Mathews. Absolute perfection.

2 - Sam Carpenter (Scream 5 and 6)

Melissa Barrera is ridiculously gorgeous. Watching her look effortlessly stunning while completely covered in blood during the third act of Scream VI did something to me. I really hope Sam comes back someday and fuuuuckkk Spyglass.

3 - Chad Meeks-Martin / Jay Simmonds (Scream / Heart Eyes)

Mason Gooding is insanely hot in both roles. Honestly he can survive as many stab wounds as he wants and I won't complain. Bring him back for Scream 8 😭😭

4 - Phillip Anderson (A Nightmare on Elm Street 3)

Such an underrated hottie. I fell for him the first time I watched Dream Warriors. Bradley Gregg looked so good back then. He deserved so much better. I was genuinely sad when he died so early.

5 - Melissa Kitt (Black Christmas 2006)

Michelle Trachtenberg was an absolute baddie in this remake. May this gorgeous woman RIP.

6 - Lucas Bowden (Scream 7)

Yeah the movie wasn't great but seeing Asa Germann on the big screen was worth the price of admission. I've had a huge crush on him since Gen V and I genuinely think this is the best he's ever looked.

7 - Sara Washington (Wrong Turn 4)

Holy character introduction. This woman is absolutely gorgeous and thank God this movie was as horny as it was. 🙏🙏

8 - Melissa McKendrick (Fear Street: Prom Queen)

Another severely underrated scream queen. Ella Rubin is just so damn fine, I was so insanely excited to see her get a big movie role on the big screen when Until Dawn came out. She has that perfect classic horror star look.

9 - Erin Hardesty (The Texas Chainsaw Massacre from 2003)

Peak 2000s slasher perfection. Jessica Biel in the knotted-up white tank top and the cowboy hat is permanently burned into my brain. She is unreal levels of gorgeous and a top-tier final girl.

10 - Trent Sutton (Friday the 13th from 2009)

The character is a completely unhinged arrogant jerk but Travis Van Winkle made him look way too good. Once again thank God this movie was as horny as it was lol.

Honorable mentions: The Mom and Dad from The Strangers: Prey at Night, Wayne, Maxine and Lorraine from X, Anika Kayoko and Quinn from Scream VI, Sienna Shaw from Terrifier 2 and 3, Claire from Sorority Row, Roman from Scream 3, Jill and Olivia from Scream 4, Cici Cooper and Derek from Scream 2, Chloe Parker and Ben Brown from Scream 7, Cole and Quinn from Clown in a cornfield and Blake Washington from Wrong Turn 2.

My Urban Legend Reboot Concept Poster!

I added a mask to the killer because it never really made sense to me how no one knew his identity. Shadows just don't work that way lol.

I didn't design the mask, so I don't know who to give credit to.

I just removed the zip thing from the mouth.

I had to take a screenshot of the image with the flash because for some reason the image was saved with the flash being purple.

Hope u like it! :))

My Idea For A New Slasher Killer & Film + Concept Posters!!

​

When Clover, a teenager from Pineville (a quiet town tucked between dense forests and towering mountains, seemingly frozen in the mid-90s) discovers an old VCR buried beneath the rotting floorboards of her uncle's failing video rental store, she can't resist plugging it into an old television to see if it still works.

Inside is a forgotten 1980s slasher film that no one seems to remember. But the VCR hides a terrifying secret: Pressing the 'Eject' button brings the movie’s characters into the real world. Now, Clover must confront a cinematic serial killer and beat him at his own game by following his horror-movie logic to stop him.

FAQ / Mechanics

Why not just destroy the VHS player?

Much like the board in the Ouija movies, it always come back.

What happens if you shoot or harm the kille?

He "dies," but it’s only temporary. He’ll be back on his feet shortly.

What if you just pull the tape out?

The killer remains in the real world.

So, how do you actually stop him?

You'll have to read the script to find out! :p

What is the lore behind the VHS player?

Same answer as above, saving that mystery for the script!

Characters:

Clover Steinfield

The protagonist of the story. Clever, resourceful, and endlessly curious, Clover spends most of her time helping at her Uncle Ian's struggling video rental store. Growing up in Pineville has left her craving excitement, but she never expected to find it buried beneath the floorboards. While she isn't a horror expert, she's quick to adapt, and her determination to protect her friends makes her the group's unlikely leader.

Sidney Rhodes

Clover's outspoken best friend. Sharp-witted, creative, and never afraid to challenge the status quo, Sidney constantly questions the slasher villain's outdated "rules" (especially his obsession with targeting sexually active teenagers) She sees herself as a critic of horror tropes and isn't shy about pointing out every flaw in the killer's logic.

Emma Brown

The wealthy and popular member of the friend group. Beautiful and charismatic, Emma is far kinder than her reputation would suggest.

Quinn Ellison

Pineville High's resident bad girl. Bold, rebellious, and unapologetically confident, Quinn thrives on attention and enjoys pushing boundaries. Unfortunately, her carefree, sex-positive lifestyle makes her the perfect target for a slasher villain operating under old-school horror movie rules.

Zach Harris

A quiet, awkward horror fanatic with a massive crush on Clover. Zach knows everything there is to know about slasher movies, from obscure sequels to forgotten cult classics. While he lacks confidence in social situations, he's often the smartest person in the room when it comes to understanding the killer's behavior.

Mason West

A star athlete and Quinn's current hookup partner. Mason is handsome, athletic, and not exactly known for his intelligence.

Ian Steinfield

Clover's uncle and owner of Pineville Video, the town's last surviving video rental store. A lifelong movie lover, Ian stubbornly refuses to let go of the past, even as streaming services have driven his business to the brink of collapse. Friendly, nostalgic, and full of stories about old films.

My Until Dawn 3 Idea!

​

Hi!! This is a silly idea i had after seeing a similar post on this community.

​

Hope u like it!! :))

​

UNTIL DAWN 3

​

Synopsis

​

Black River is a small, isolated mountain town in Oregon, completely deserted today. Its total abandonment followed a silent tragedy: dozens of residents died of poisoning due to a mysterious contamination in the local water supply. Rumors quickly spread, with many locals attributing the disaster to an outbreak of modern witchcraft. Although alleged evidence of rituals was found in the area, authorities were never able to prove anything.

​

The apparent calm is shattered when Margo, a young resident of Misty Hills (the neighboring town), vanishes without a trace alongside her boyfriend, Brandon, after venturing into the ruins of Black River in search of adventure. Desesperate for answers and intending to close this painful chapter, her childhood best friend, Cate, decides to head into the ghost town with the rest of their friend group. Their plan is to find the couple or, at worst, hold a symbolic funeral to bury a friendship amulet on the site.

​

However, the trip quickly transforms into a nightmare. Upon arrival, the group discovers that someone has sabotaged their truck, leaving them completely stranded and cut off just as a violent, destructive storm hits the region. The situation escalates into absolute terror when they realize they are not alone: a masked lunatic wearing a deer skull as a mask stalks within the shadows of the abandoned structures, determined to hunt them down one by one.

​

Characters:

​

Cate Ryder (Lola Tung)

​

Personality: Determined, loyal, emotionally driven.

​

Dynamic: Cate is the emotional core of the group. The disappearance of her childhood best friend, Margo, has left her devastated, but also fiercely committed to uncovering the truth. Her loyalty often overrides her judgment, pushing her deeper into danger when she should be turning back. Despite her inner fragility, she carries a quiet strength that anchors the group. Her relationship with James becomes her emotional lifeline, grounding her when fear threatens to take over.

​

Noah Ryder (Charles Melton)

​

Personality: Protective, serious, responsible.

​

Dynamic: Cate’s older brother, Noah never intended to get involved in the expedition to Black River, but ultimately gives in out of obligation and love for his sister. He provides transportation and reluctantly becomes the group’s de facto guardian. As the situation deteriorates, Noah is forced into a leadership role he never wanted, carrying the burden of keeping everyone alive while the storm closes in around them.

​

James Freeman (Froy Gutierrez)

​

Personality: Loyal, grounded, protective.

​

Dynamic: Cate’s boyfriend and emotional support system. James is practical and level-headed, often acting as Cate’s anchor when her emotions spiral. While he prefers avoiding unnecessary risk, his devotion to Cate pushes him to confront escalating dangers head-on. Beneath his calm exterior lies a growing anxiety that he struggles to suppress as Black River begins to reveal its true nature.

​

Chloe Harding (Antonia Gentry)

​

Personality: Confident, direct, rational.

​

Dynamic: Chloe is pragmatic and unafraid to speak her mind, even in the face of fear or superstition. She dismisses the town’s legends and maintains a logical approach to survival. However, her blunt honesty and emotional detachment can create tension within the group, especially with more sensitive members like Mia.

​

Olivia Anderson (Jessica Treska)

​

Personality: Image-conscious, perceptive, emotionally fragile.

​

Dynamic: Olivia is an influencer accustomed to controlling her environment through curated online presence. She initially sees Black River as the perfect backdrop for content, but the lack of signal, the isolation, and the encroaching storm quickly strip her of control. Cut off from her digital identity, she becomes increasingly dependent on Dalton and struggles to cope with a reality she cannot filter or escape.

​

Dalton Richards (Devin Craig)

​

Personality: Charismatic, outgoing, protective.

​

Dynamic: Olivia’s boyfriend and the group’s natural extrovert. Dalton initially treats the trip as an adventurous getaway and a chance to support Olivia’s content creation. Beneath his playful and relaxed demeanor, however, is a deeply protective instinct that surfaces the moment danger becomes real. As the situation escalates, his confidence is tested in ways he never anticipated.

​

Elliot Maxwell (Asa Germann)

​

Personality: Quiet, observant, introspective.

​

Dynamic: Elliot rarely speaks unless necessary, preferring to remain in the background. However, his silence hides a sharp awareness of his surroundings. He notices details, inconsistencies, and patterns that others miss in their panic. Though socially withdrawn, Elliot proves to have a quiet resilience that becomes increasingly vital as survival grows more uncertain.

​

Mia Bailey (Katie Douglas)

​

Personality: Religious, anxious, highly sensitive.

​

Dynamic: Mia is the most emotionally vulnerable member of the group. Her strong religious faith becomes both a comfort and a source of fear as the town’s history and rumors of witchcraft begin to resurface. Under pressure, her anxiety intensifies, making her prone to panic and critical mistakes. As the terror in Black River escalates, her faith is tested in increasingly terrifying ways.

​

The Plot Twist:

​

>!Just like Until Dawn and The Quarry, the apparent human threat is ultimately revealed to be a misdirection.!<

&#x200B;

>!The masked killer stalking the group throughout Black River is not the true villain.!<

&#x200B;

>!The real danger lurking within the abandoned town comes from the Witches, grotesque humanoid creatures with unnaturally elongated limbs, gray skin, and distorted features. They were once ordinary women who practiced dark rituals within the forests surrounding Black River. Over time, repeated exposure to forbidden occult forces slowly stripped away their humanity, transforming them into predatory, feral beings driven by instinct and devotion to an ancient power.!<

&#x200B;

>!The figure the survivors believe to be their murderer is eventually revealed to be Evelyn, a mysterious White Witch who has spent decades hunting her corrupted sisters and preventing them from spreading beyond the mountains. Ruthless and intimidating, Evelyn deliberately cultivates the image of a monster in order to keep trespassers away from places where the creatures gather.!<

&#x200B;

>!The truth behind Black River's downfall dates back to the early 1990s, when a secret coven settled in the region. Obsessed with achieving communion with a dark entity they worshipped, the witches carried out increasingly dangerous rituals beneath the surrounding forests. Their most catastrophic act was the deliberate poisoning of the town's water supply as part of a large-scale sacrificial ceremony. The contamination caused the deaths of dozens of residents and forced the eventual abandonment of the town.!<

&#x200B;

>!While the outside world dismissed the tragedy as an unexplained environmental disaster, the ritual had a far more horrifying consequence: many members of the coven became permanently transformed into the creatures that still roam Black River to this day.!<

&#x200B;

>!What the group believed was a hunt orchestrated by a masked killer is actually the final stage of a decades-long war between Evelyn and the monstrous witches hidden within the ruins of the town.!<

&#x200B;

Connection to Until Dawn:

&#x200B;

>!In terms of narrative continuity with Until Dawn, Cate is undergoing psychological treatment under Dr. Hill.!<

&#x200B;

>!As the story progresses, Cate eventually encounters the entity that controls the witches. This presence offers her a disturbing choice: join the coven and be reunited with Margo, or refuse and accept her fate as just another victim of the witches’ hunt.!<

&#x200B;

>!During this sequence, Cate experiences a powerful hallucination in which Dr. Hill appears once again. In this distorted psychological space, he attempts to manipulate her, subtly encouraging her to surrender to the coven and embrace its corruption. His influence becomes increasingly invasive, pushing Cate to confront not only the external horror of Black River but also her own fractured mental state.!<

&#x200B;

>!Ultimately, Cate’s transformation becomes a player-driven outcome. Whether she resists the influence of the coven and Dr. Hill, or succumbs and becomes a witch herself, is determined entirely by the player’s choices.!<

I HATE SCREAM 5'S WARDROBE DESIGN FOR THIS ONE MISTAKE 😭😭😭

&#x200B;

Hear me out because I KNOW this is a super niche fashion complaint, but the complete lack of consistency in Liv McKenzie’s wardrobe has driven me crazy since the second this movie came out.

If you look at her character design strictly from the neck up, the blueprint is SO clear. She is LITERALLY coded as a 2021 e-girl. You have the pink dip-dyed hair, the moody dark makeup, and the classic black choker. Everything about her styling from the shoulders up screams alternative TikTok aesthetic.

But then you look at her actual outfits and it makes ABSOLUTELY NO SENSE. It’s like the wardrobe department was dressing three entirely different people.

In one scene, she’s in a bright blue knit cardigan paired with a traditional plaid schoolgirl skirt which gives off some preppy, Clueless vibes. It completely clashes with the edgy energy her hair is trying to sell. Then, in the bar scene, she’s wearing a bright, flowery, boho-style crop top with basic denim shorts. It is a standard, mainstream festival outfit with zero alt edge whatsoever. Even that striped baby tee she wears on the couch just feels totally disconnected from her actual makeup identity.

What kills me is that Scream movies are usually brilliant at using fashion to instantly tell you exactly who a character is. The style actually makes sense for the characters and their personalities.

With Liv, it feels like the designers couldn't decide if they wanted her to be the popular preppy girl, the casual girl-next-door, or the edgy alt chick, so they just threw a random mix of Pinterest trends at her and called it a day. It feels so messy and it COMPLETELY strips her of a cohesive identity.

Am I the only one who finds this styling oversight incredibly distracting, or has anyone else noticed how badly they dropped the ball here?

Hot Take: The next Friday the 13th movie HAS to be a reboot or a requel. Anything else is box office suicide.

Hey everyone,

With all the talk about the franchise finally waking up from its legal nightmare and that upcoming Crystal Lake show, there’s always a debate on whether the next movie should be "Part 13" or a total fresh start.

Let’s be real for a second: The next movie absolutely cannot be another direct sequel. It needs to be a hard reboot or a Halloween (2018) style requel that just wipes the slate clean.

As hardcore fans, we might love the absolute mess of the original timeline. But if we want this franchise to actually survive in the modern box office, it has to appeal to the general public. An audience for whom Jason has basically been dead since 2009.

Here is why trying to continue the original continuity is a terrible idea:

1 - The timeline completely fell apart after Part 7

Up until The New Blood, the franchise at least tried to maintain some kind of linear slasher logic. But after that? The writers just threw up their hands and did whatever:

Part 8: Jason takes a cruise to Manhattan, gets melted by toxic waste in the sewers, and somehow turns back into a little kid.

Jason Goes to Hell: Total mythology rewrite out of nowhere. Suddenly Jason is a body-hopping demonic parasite that can only be killed by a blood relative.

Jason X: He gets frozen and sent to outer space in the year 2455 to become a cyber-zombie.

Freddy vs. Jason: He’s just back from Hell, totally ignoring the space stuff or the weird worm parasite.

We forgive this stuff because it’s campy and fun. A general audience will not. No studio is going to drop $10M+ on a movie where the casual viewer feels like they had to do homework on a 1993 box-office flop just to understand the plot. It’s a massive turn-off for regular moviegoers.

2 - The general public has moved on

The last time casual audiences actually saw Jason on a theater screen was the 2009 remake. That was almost 17 years ago.

There is an entire generation of teenagers and young adults right now who only know Jason as a pop-culture icon, a skin in Fortnite, or a meme. They’ve never experienced a Jason Voorhees movie in a theater. You can't expect them to buy a ticket to a movie that relies on 40-year-old continuity. They’ll just go watch whatever Blumhouse or A24 are putting out instead.

3 -The only two realistic ways forward

If Jason wants to reclaim his crown, the filmmakers need to simplify the recipe. There are really only two options:

- The Requel Route (The "Legacy Sequel"): The Tommy Jarvis Factor

Do exactly what Halloween (2018) did, but adapt it for Crystal Lake. Keep the original 1980 film (Pamela) and Parts 2 through 4, or honestly, go up to Part 6 (Jason Lives).

That is exactly how you pull it off. Keeping Part 6 (Jason Lives) changes the game completely, and bringing back Tommy Jarvis is the ultimate Requel move. It gives you that perfect Halloween (2018) or Scream (2022) dynamic: a legendary legacy character passing the torch to a new generation, but without the baggage of the later sequels.

Why stop at Part 6? Because everything up to that point is incredibly easy to explain to a casual audience in just two or three lines of dialogue. You don't need massive exposition dumps.

The pitch for the general audience: "A crazy mother started it, her son Jason took over, a kid named Tommy Jarvis killed him, but then accidentally brought him back as an unstoppable zombie. Tommy managed to chain him to the bottom of the lake, and the camp was closed forever."

Boom. Done. That’s all a modern viewer needs to know to enjoy the movie.

You could technically argue for keeping Part 7 since it’s a direct sequel to 6, but let’s be real: a general audience in 2026 is going to laugh if you try to seriously explain that a telekinetic Carrie rip-off fought Jason. It’s better to just erase everything after Part 6. No toxic waste, no body-hopping demons, no outer space.

By keeping up to Part 6, you get to bring back Tommy Jarvis, the absolute fan-favorite survivor of the franchise. He becomes your Laurie Strode or your Sidney Prescott. He’s the grizzled, obsessed veteran who knows Jason is still out there waiting at the bottom of the lake, and he has to team up with a new generation of characters when a podcast crew, developers, or new counselors inevitably mess up and let Jason loose again.

This grounds the movie perfectly. It rewards the old-school fans by keeping the best parts of the original run (the Tommy Jarvis trilogy) while keeping the narrative lean, mean, and accessible for everyone else.

- The Other Route Is The Full Reboot: Start from absolute scratch with modern cinematic sensibilities. Honestly, the 2009 remake did a great job condensing the essence of Parts 1-4 into one tight survival movie. A total reboot lets them make Jason genuinely terrifying again, stripping away the late-90s B-movie camp and focusing on pure, isolating tension.

The original timeline is way too convoluted and contradictory after Part 7 for a modern audience to care. Since Jason has been missing from theaters for over 15 years, a Reboot or a Halloween-style Requel is the only logical way to make him relevant to the masses again.

With all that said, how would you revive this franchise?

My idea for a new SLENDER MAN movie (Including the full script &amp; concept posters!)

Posters made by me! (NO GENERATIVE AI WAS USED IN THEIR CREATION. DM ME FOR SCREENSHOTS OF THE CREATION PROCESS. IT WAS ACTUALLY PRETTY SIMPLE.)

Hey =)
This is my idea for a new Slender Man movie! We all know how disappointing the 2018 adaptation was, so I figured that if I wrote my own script, there was no way it could turn out worse than that disaster.

I’ve looked through other Slender Man movie scripts before, but most of them aren’t written in actual professional screenplay format. Thankfully, that won’t be a problem here for anyone who enjoys reading real cinematic scripts!

Also, this isn’t just the typical found footage story about a group of teenagers wandering into the woods and dying one by one. (Although there’s still a little bit of that in the script, just enough to scratch the itch.) I wanted to give the story my own twist while still respecting the original lore. Don’t worry, though, it doesn’t stray too far from what made Slender Man interesting in the first place, but it’s also not overloaded with references or fan service.

Instead of trying to cram every single interpretation from the games and fandom into one character, my main goal was to write a genuinely coherent and creepy horror film that feels like something that could actually exist as a real movie instead of just fan fiction.

Honestly, I think I pulled it off.

Hope you enjoy it! HERE'S THE SCRIPT: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1yCr0iNm1ercJs5Qjeij4lCf9Yyc-lx4-/view?usp=sharing

SLENDER MAN (Horror / Thriller / Mystery)

Seven months ago, the Harlow family vanished without a trace during a camping trip. The nightmare seemingly ends when Danny, the young son of the family, is rescued from the clutches of Shauna McHale, a deranged woman holding him captive on the outskirts of a remote town. Traumatized, the boy is sent to live with his aunt and uncle: Laura Andrews, a sharp investigative journalist, and her husband, Josh Andrews.

However, Danny’s return brings no relief. The boy is in a deep state of shock, completely non verbal and capable of communicating only through disturbing, low growls.

As terrifying, paranormal occurrences begin to escalate around the household and Danny's erratic behavior takes a dark turn, Laura uses her investigative skills to uncover what actually happened to the family in those woods. What she unearths goes far beyond a tragic kidnapping every clue points to a single, ancient urban legend. A faceless, towering entity with elongated limbs.

A malevolent force known as The Slenderman.

Main Characters

LAURA ANDREWS-HARLOW (41) A tenacious and relentless journalist. She possesses a sharp, piercing gaze and a face visibly exhausted from endless, sleep-deprived hours in front of her computer. Deeply traumatized by the mysterious disappearance of her brother Daniel and his family, she has turned her office into an obsessive investigation hub filled with maps, coordinates, and news clippings. Laura is fierce, intensely protective, and serves as the ultimate driving force to keep her family alive against an oncoming cosmic dread.

CASEY ANDREWS (16) Laura’s eldest daughter. A typical, casually dressed teenager who appears permanently glued to her phone and largely indifferent to her mother's strict rules. While she puts up a rebellious, apathetic front, she hides a fierce protective streak for her family. Initially highly skeptical of urban legends and her mother's theories, she maintains a playful, teasing dynamic with her younger sister.

DAWN ANDREWS (7) She’s Laura and Josh's highly chaotic and imaginative youngest daughter. Her bedroom is a minefield of scattered toys. She is often found wearing oversized headphones, completely absorbed in her iPad, harboring an innocent but eerie fascination with creepy internet videos about forest cryptids. 

DANNY HARLOW (7) Laura's nephew. Introduced as a vibrant, energetic, and joyful child who loves his toy dinosaur and singing pop songs in the car. After being taken by a sinister entity in the woods, he is recovered in a state of profound, haunting psychological trauma. He returns pale, alarmingly thin, with dark hollows under his eyes, locked in near-total mutism.

JOSH ANDREWS (41) Laura’s husband and the girls' father. Warm-faced with a deeply laid-back, grounded, and gentle disposition. A true family man who loves cooking from scratch. Josh constantly tries to defuse the growing paranoia brought on by Laura's investigation.

Other stuff…

“Why is Keira Knightley the lead?”
I wanted to find a casting choice that felt realistic for the lead role. An actress who was recognizable, but not insanely expensive. I looked at other options, but Keira ended up having the best photos for the poster. (The image is actually a still from “The Woman in Cabin 10.”)

“What’s up with the freaky ahh dialogue?”
I wanted to throw in some campy dialogue here and there. I love campy horror movies, even if that tone slowly disappears once the creepy stuff starts happening.

Do u think this could work? :p

My Idea For The New "Child's Play" Requel + My Chucky's Redesign!

Child's Play (2028)

Five years ago, Lily Henson, the youngest daughter of the Henson family, mysteriously vanished while sleeping in her room. There were no signs of a struggle. No open doors or windows. Not a single clue.

She simply… disappeared.

Now, years later, Sam Henson, the tech obsessed middle child, convinces his parents to buy a new Good Guy doll manufactured by TECNAI: the company that reinvented the iconic toy line with advanced artificial intelligence and a modern redesign.

At first, the doll seems harmless until it begins to behave in impossible ways. Secrets only Lily knew. Buried memories. And a terrifying possibility:

Lily’s soul is inside the doll.

As a brutal killing spree shakes the community, the family begins to question what is real and what is not. Is the doll actually possessed by Lily… or is something using the Hensons' grief to manipulate them?

CHARACTERS

James Henson (Warren Kole)

The patriarch of the Henson family. A kind, laid back man trying to keep his family together using awkward humor and modern references that almost always fall flat. Though he does his best to connect with his children, Lily’s disappearance has left him emotionally drained. James is the most skeptical of all, desperately clinging to rational explanations as the paranormal events in the house escalate.

Margo Henson (Ana de la Reguera)

The mother of the family. She's rotective and emotionally fragile since losing Lily. Margo never truly moved past her daughter's disappearance and lives obsessed with the idea that she might still be alive. The arrival of the doll begins to awaken a dangerous sense of hope within her.

Blake Henson (Sadie Stanley)

The eldest Henson daughter. Sarcastic, intelligent, and emotionally guarded. Blake masks her pain with cynicism. Although she puts up a front of indifference, the doll's arrival forces her to confront feelings and memories she has spent years avoiding.

Sam Henson (Miguel Mora)

The youngest son and the family’s resident tech nerd. A fan of programming, AI, and all things gadgetry. Sam is the first to notice that something is wrong with the Good Guy doll. He begins investigating TECNAI’s systems on his own, discovering disturbing details about the toy and its connection to Lily.

Olivia Cain (Mckenna Grace)

Blake’s best friend and the Hensons' neighbor. Popular, charismatic, and an aspiring influencer. Olivia seems to have the perfect life: a cheerleader, loved by everyone, and constantly filming content for social media.

Logan Murray (Asa Germann)

Olivia’s boyfriend and Blake’s childhood friend. Laid back, funny, and seemingly carefree. Logan and Blake have always had an evident tension between them that predates his relationship with Olivia.

Tori Cain (Katherine Waterston)

The Hensons' nosy neighbor. Obsessed with appearances and proving her life is "perfect." She maintains a passive aggressive competition with Margo over everything: the garden, decor, clothes, and even their children. The quintessential Pilates Mom, though her daughter can barely stand her.

Lily Henson (Billie Roy)

The family’s missing daughter. She had a sweet and creative personality before vanishing without a trace at age eight. She owned a classic vintage Good Guy doll she found in a park. While officially still missing, her presence haunts the family especially since the new doll arrived. When she disappeared, her original doll vanished with her.

Detective Sonnya Shermann

The detective assigned to investigate the recent murders. Intelligent, cold, and extremely observant. Sonnya suspects the Hensons are hiding more than they let on and begins to link the current homicides to Lily’s disappearance years ago.

Linda

The Henson family’s maid.

How it fits into the franchise?

Throughout the movie, there is no apparent connection to the series until the third act reveal that the spirit inside the doll is actually Charles Lee Ray. Once TECNAI announced modern Good Guy dolls, Charles needed a test subject to ensure the new technology was compatible with possession, so he targeted a child for his experiment. It worked, and he subsequently discarded the doll that held Lily’s soul. Now, Chucky can inhabit this upgraded model, making him more agile and powerful. The limitation is that he cannot possess more than one of these bodies at a time because the AI detects the soul as malware and deletes it, making a successful possession very rare. Plus, vintage Good Guy dolls are becoming harder to find. Chucky claims he kept an eye on the Hensons after Lily vanished and, when they bought a new doll, he got rid of it to take the opportunity to tie up loose ends for his own amusement.

My Idea For The New "Child's Play" Requel + My Chucky's Redesign!

Processing img rzcslzybed1h1...

Processing img n618sertad1h1...

Child's Play (2028)

Five years ago, Lily Henson, the youngest daughter of the Henson family, mysteriously vanished while sleeping in her room. There were no signs of a struggle. No open doors or windows. Not a single clue.

She simply… disappeared.

Now, years later, Sam Henson, the tech obsessed middle child, convinces his parents to buy a new Good Guy doll manufactured by TECNAI: the company that reinvented the iconic toy line with advanced artificial intelligence and a modern redesign.

At first, the doll seems harmless until it begins to behave in impossible ways. Secrets only Lily knew. Buried memories. And a terrifying possibility:

Lily’s soul is inside the doll.

As a brutal killing spree shakes the community, the family begins to question what is real and what is not. Is the doll actually possessed by Lily… or is something using the Hensons' grief to manipulate them?

CHARACTERS

James Henson (Warren Kole)

The patriarch of the Henson family. A kind, laid back man trying to keep his family together using awkward humor and modern references that almost always fall flat. Though he does his best to connect with his children, Lily’s disappearance has left him emotionally drained. James is the most skeptical of all, desperately clinging to rational explanations as the paranormal events in the house escalate.

Margo Henson (Ana de la Reguera)

The mother of the family. She's rotective and emotionally fragile since losing Lily. Margo never truly moved past her daughter's disappearance and lives obsessed with the idea that she might still be alive. The arrival of the doll begins to awaken a dangerous sense of hope within her.

Blake Henson (Sadie Stanley)

The eldest Henson daughter. Sarcastic, intelligent, and emotionally guarded. Blake masks her pain with cynicism. Although she puts up a front of indifference, the doll's arrival forces her to confront feelings and memories she has spent years avoiding.

Sam Henson (Miguel Mora)

The youngest son and the family’s resident tech nerd. A fan of programming, AI, and all things gadgetry. Sam is the first to notice that something is wrong with the Good Guy doll. He begins investigating TECNAI’s systems on his own, discovering disturbing details about the toy and its connection to Lily.

Olivia Cain (Mckenna Grace)

Blake’s best friend and the Hensons' neighbor. Popular, charismatic, and an aspiring influencer. Olivia seems to have the perfect life: a cheerleader, loved by everyone, and constantly filming content for social media.

My Concept For A New Evil Dead Movie "Evil Dead Rot"

Poster by me! :))

Hi! This is my idea for a new Evil Dead movie set in a hospital. If this concept sounds familiar to u that's because you read my idea for "Evil Dead: Disease" a year ago. Well... This is what that idea evolved into.

Hope u enjoy it!!

Evil Dead: Rot

For years, Grace believed her pregnant sister, Julie, died in a horrific fire during a weekend at the family’s secluded lake house. But when she receives an unexpected invitation from Tyler—Julie’s grieving husband—and travels to his isolated home deep within the wilderness, she uncovers a terrifying truth... Julie never died.

On the night of the fire, Julie and Tyler encountered a man possessed by an ancient evil lurking in the forests surrounding the lake. The attack left Julie infected by a demonic force, transforming her into a Deadite while still carrying her unborn child. Unable to bring himself to kill the woman he loved—or the baby growing inside her—Tyler spent years hiding her away, chaining and sedating her in the basement while obsessively searching for a way to save her soul.

Against all odds... he succeeded.

But the Julie who returns is no longer the woman she once was. Physically shattered and psychologically scarred, she struggles to reconnect with a world that moved on without her after years trapped inside her own body. And despite the passage of time, one impossible thing remains unchanged: Her pregnancy.

As Grace reunites with the sister she thought she had lost forever, the family’s fragile peace begins to unravel when a violent storm strikes and Julie suddenly goes into labor, forcing them into an emergency trip to a nearly isolated hospital.

Something has been growing inside Julie all this time. And no one is prepared for what is about to be born into the world.

CHARACTERS

Grace Howard

Grace is deeply disturbed by Julie’s return and refuses to fully believe Tyler’s story about demonic possession. Instead, she suspects Julie was kidnapped, abused, and psychologically broken after years of captivity at Tyler’s hands—someone Grace never trusted due to his volatile personality and history of shifting from loving to violent in the blink of an eye.

Julie Howard

Once vibrant and beautiful, Julie is now a horrifying shell of her former self. Her body is covered in scars, patches of hair are missing from her scalp, several teeth are gone, and her skin constantly appears unnaturally damp, almost corpse-like.

But the deepest scars are emotional.

Julie exists in a state of denial regarding her condition, behaving as though everything is perfectly normal while avoiding any discussion of the possession or her impossible pregnancy. Whenever Grace questions her, Julie becomes defensive and hostile. Though she once doubted whether she should remain with Tyler, she now appears completely submissive and emotionally dependent on him.

Tyler Douglas

Tyler is an emotionally unstable man whose relationship with Julie had already shown signs of toxicity long before the fire. But after dedicating years of his life to “saving” Julie and her unborn child, his obsession has consumed him completely.

Now, Tyler will do anything to protect the family he fought so desperately to keep—no matter how violent or horrifying the consequences become.

Miranda Howard

Miranda is the deeply religious mother of Grace, Julie, and Finn. Julie’s disappearance shattered her emotionally, sending her into a spiral of grief and depression that caused her to distance herself from her remaining children for years.

After being contacted by Tyler and learning the truth, Miranda became the first person to see Julie before the evil was supposedly removed from her. She now views Julie’s survival as a divine miracle and sees Tyler as a savior chosen by God. Grace’s skepticism deeply frustrates her, creating a painful divide within the family.

Finn Howard

Finn is the teenage younger brother of Julie and Grace. He was too young to fully understand what happened when Julie disappeared and grew up neglected after his mother emotionally abandoned the family.

As a result, this reunion feels deeply uncomfortable and unnatural to him.

Finn is withdrawn, sarcastic, cynical, and emotionally detached—often masking his fear with dry humor and bitterness.

MINOR CHARACTERS

Dr. Wong

The doctor overseeing Julie’s pregnancy during the storm.

Leslie Morgan

A nurse working the overnight shift at the hospital.

John Newman

A mysterious elderly man staying at the hospital to care for his dying wife during the storm. Quiet and unsettling, there’s something deeply off about him.

Maggie Newman

John’s bedridden wife.

Other Characters

Receptionist, Janitor, Female Nurse.

I’ve finally finished the script for “HALLOWEEN REBORN". Well, at least the first draft.

I’ll be the first to admit that the third act is a bit of a mess right now, but that’s what first drafts are for! I’m completely open to feedback, so there’s still plenty of time to make changes and tighten things up .I hope you at least had a blast with the kills, lol. I also want to say a huge thank you for the support my first post received when I initially shared the idea. :)

In case you missed that post, here is the plot:

Lucas Russo is a young man obsessed with the legend of Michael Myers. A man who was shot multiple times on Halloween night in 1978, fell from a great height, survived brutal attacks in 2018, and only stopped breathing when an entire mob turned against him.

How was that even possible? Lucas has a theory: Michael Myers, The Boogeyman, is more than just a man. He moves through the shadows, unnaturally resilient, and drawn to one thing: fear.

Lucas believes fear is what fuels him. To him, Michael is the physical embodiment of the Boogeyman on Earth. The more people fear him, the stronger he becomes. He cannot truly die until people stop being afraid.

And that’s exactly why he died that Halloween night years ago. When the town of Haddonfield stood together, Michael Myers finally died because, for the first time, no one feared him anymore.

At least… not in Haddonfield.

But the moment someone feels that fear again… he will return. When a copycat in the town of Willow Lake murders a girl while wearing the mask, the old terror spreads like wildfire. Just as Lucas theorized, Michael Myers manifests once again, emerging from the shadows to turn Willow Lake into his new hunting ground.

Thanks for reading!
