You should make them go to the local pub after they run off to discuss the situation and they mention it in front of one of the locals. The whole bar goes quiet and some old crotchity man in the corner smoking a pipe tells the story about the ghost of some janitor that was murdered with a mop bucket or something and still roams the halls of the local college.

The reason he told them to "Get Out" was because he just finished mopping the floor and they are tracking dirt in on his nice clean floor.

Guaranteed an A for that one. Horror should have an element of humor in it.

lol@murdered with a mop bucket. Sounds like classic Troma material. :D

And who says horror doesnt have to be funny. Target practice in "Dawn of the Dead" remake wasnt funny??

Some of the lines in "Dracula" by ANthony Hopkins wasnt funny???

Come on guys sick humor is the best humor.

lol Sick humor is where it's at. :D What would this world be like without sick humor? :)

Is anyone else sick of ghost stories?

I mean if I went into a building that was creepy (and it better be a damn good reason) and a F**king ghost tells me to "Get Out!" I get the F out and that's the end of the story. Ghost is happy, and I'm freaked out but alive.

The only logical way to do it is to somehow make these people trapped with the ghost otherwise people just think the characters are stupid and deserve to die for going back.

Well the ghost haunts their college so they'll need to go back lol.

I have an idea of them going back one last time, most die this night, the ghost has sealed off the college and they're basicly trapped until dawn.

Ghost defeated thing is simlair to the "Darkness Falls" ending where the toothfairy thing can die because of sun light, thats what I was thinking how my ghost can die. But at the very end, when the main hero is at home and thinks its all over it comes back and kills him.

Sound any good to you guys?

Also I just got to scene 12 and I was thinking that the ghost kinda chases them and then they split up and then start dying but I dunno if I should of them just running or make the ghost show up and then chase after them. Any ideas?

The thought that scares me about any ghost story is that once a person is so misfortunate to encounter some form of ghost, they can't shake it (like in The Entity). You got ten minutes of college kids seeing a ghost. Let it stick to one while the others run, except of course for one devoted friend/girlfriend who will investigate to find out who it was, why it's there, why it's sticking to you, and how to get rid of it (and that's the part that should be interesting). My resolution to this would be to stick it to the devoted friend/girlfriend. Hardy har har.

Well I do plan to have a twist where it was there minds that actually killed them, it wasn't the ghost that killed them but it was the ghost that made them crazy.

Month and a half and you haven't finished a ten minute film?

[Y2DAZZ]

I've had other work to do for college, including another script.

And besides I don't start shooting until the 9th of December.

So the ghost is out all day and night? Because if it's just there at night then they have no reason to go back.

Well it appears about midnight and they decided to go back to try and kill it because it killed their friends.
