Hi everyone,
I've been writing and redrafting screenplays for a film idea I had for the past 3 years. In the spirit of Halloween this year, I am finally starting production on it next week, wrapping up in mid October to be approx. 95 minutes long. Here's the plot- just tell me what you all think- criticisms and all, please.
PLOT: The plot is inspired by the murders of John Wayne Gacey. It has been nearly 13 years since his execution in 1994, and the world has begun to forget the horrible image of Gacey's clown alter ego: Pogo the Clown. But far away from Illinoise where the original killings took place, something dark is stirring way down in a suburban neighborhood of Merritt Island, Florida. A teenage male has become fascinated with the long since dead killer Gacy, and has come to almost idolize him, hanging pictures and newspaper articles all over his room, and even donning clown make-up in the spirit of Pogo the clown. But soon, his infatuation can no longer be restricted to personal expression, and that's when the killing begins. One by one, students from the local high-school begin dropping off like flies, thier bodies mutilated by this Pogo wannabe, and stuffed under the floorboards of his home. His terror spreads throughout the nieghborhood and soon the city, causing a complete curfew lockdown on Halloween the following day. That will be the day of the film's climax, leading to a shocking discovery that the killer is much closer to the surviving teenage girl then she thinks.
