Halloween short film? Maybe.

I have been thinking about doing this short for a long time. Horror movies are a niche — they do not get a lot of love. Not from production companies, (they do not give them big budgets) they do not get A-list actors, (lots of little experience/first timers) and they do not get premium advertising. But man is it weird that so many people love them.

I still think that The Exorcist is one of the scariest movies I have ever seen. Nightmare on Elm Street also caused me issues for a long time growing up. When is the hardest time to have an imagination and remember scary movies? Thats right — before you go to sleep. Oh yeah, and thats where Freddy is. Those were some scary times, some don’t turn the lights off times.

So anyway - I think I am going to take a shot at filming this short that has been going through my head over and over — maybe over fall break, we’ll see. Here are 3 pages of my storyboard. Undoubtedly it will be tough to follow, but its just a draft and a place where some ideas and shots are on paper.

Enjoy! And students — I am sure you will give me your opinions; I stand ready.
