Arrow What do YOU want to see?

I would like to hear some ideas of what you all would like to see as the plot for a really good horror story.

I've got so many crazy things floating around my head that I think could work, but it's what others think, the ones who'll be buying into it, that really matter. And with so many bad movies and lame reads out there of late, it's high time for some originality.

So lets hear it ...

What is YOUR idea for the next great horror tale? Make it brief, or include all the grizzly details. It's up to you.

It depends what sort of horror. If I was to go by a story I would like best I would want vampires, a interesting magick system, mages, secret societies, ancient curses, giant monsters and other supernatural creatures all woken into one tale. But if I was to go by what would scare me I think I would prefer something dark, slow moving and spooky perhaps with some Lovecraftian like creatures running around in the background driving people to madness.

I'm always saying that someday I really want to write and direct a film that will really terrify even the most seasoned horror movie veteran. I always complain that no movie can scare me, and that is why I am such a fan of horror movie because I am continually searching for a movie that will truly scare me.

That being said, I really don't ever have any ideas to back up this strong desire to create a great horror film. I think that mine wouldn't have too much to do with things that aren't believable, since people are most scared when they feel like what happened in the film could really happen to them. I find that truck drivers are usually a good bet... a la Wolf Creek and High Tension. They also include wide open, unfamiliar territory, which I find to be scarier than being trapped in a building or a cave or something.

And none of that shaking camera bullshit. =/
