Recently I took my girlfriend to see My Bloody Valentine and Friday the 13th and after seeing them I really feel like I could write a scary movie. The movies themselves weren’t that bad, but I found a lot of similarities between the two. So, I thought to myself, “How hard could it be to write a movie? Just pick the setting, get some kids together, and then have a killer with a soft side murder them in the most gruesome way possible.”
First, pick a setting where you want your movie to take place. This is pretty easy because there are two choices. Pick either a quiet suburb that has a dark secret or the woods with a dark secret. Personally I might shake it up a little bit and combine the two…….what am I talking about? That might be a little too much. Relax Steve, relax.
Second, get a group of kids (about 6) and make sure they all look like Abercrombie & Fitch models. Let’s start with the guys. Two of them need to be real good looking. I’m talking if Brad Pitt and Matt Damon had a kid it would like these two. Oh yea, one should have short hair and one should have long Ashton Kutcher hair. Then there is the 3rd guy. He needs to be the quirky one of the group who likes pot or is “artsy”. He still has to be good looking. Not Abercrombie good looking, but at least Sears Catalog good looking.
