Amusing Idea for a Horror Movie
 

Okay, me and my friends are working on this small series of movies. The first one is going to be just an oddballish comedy called "Must Love Tacos" and you probably wouldn't care to hear the plot, all you need to know is that there are four main people and two stoner jahova witnesses. Either way, the second movie is going to be called "8 Slices of Evil" which is a comedic horror about a killer pizza boy who slaughters people who don't tip them (all in pizza related deaths of course). Think it would be good for a couple of laughs?

Ill have a large pepperoni and a 2 liter of coke.

Just have the guy shove the pizza down somebody's throat because they complained the pizza was cold, and he dies from choking.

I think I've seen this movie.

Not to be an asshole or anything, but this sounds weak.

What's with the food fascination? Tacos. Pizzas. What's next? Ho Hos?

Examine why you like films and filmmaking. Look at your favorite films. Examine their structure, characters and plotting and try again.

That sounds like the winning film!
...............

On a more serious note, while your ideas sound like they could be entertaining for a few chuckles, I'd try to keep them at about 5-6 minutes. Anything longer than that would be ridiculous.

If this is all for shits and giggles, go for it. If you're looking to make something that can be appreciated, take Rod's advice.

Well the food fascination is complete accidental. The first movie isn't actually based around tacos, it more has to deal with the type of relationships between all the characters. I made the title for the first one, but didn't come up with the second one, the other titles of possible future movies will not be food related. As far as it being weak, there is far more to the movies than just what I've explained, but it would be more wasting your time for me to try and explain the plot, because I have no nack for just explaining things.

Moving on though, there is definitely a bit more to the plot then I explained, but I would have to get in depth with the first one in order to explain the second one.

I don't think we are going to be able to give you any worthwhile advice or opinions, being that we really aren't being given the specifics.

The only thing I can guess at what you're shooting for, is something like "Santa's Slay", or some of those other silly movies you see on store shelves that are in the horror section, but are more comedy oriented than anything else.

Only other thing you have to take into account, is that with the taco title, if it isn't about tacos, it will still be branded that way for the most part.

Fair enough, but to be honest, I was just more looking for fun reactions, but I really do appreciate the advice as well and yes I am going for that "Santa's Slay" kind of style with 8 Slices of Evil.

Horror is serious business around these parts, hombre.

haha nice advice dicks... like any of you know anything about making "good" movies.

LOLOLOL

:D

:mad:Hey I thought my scene suggestion was pretty good.

I might just use it haha, it would be a great first scene for the movie haha.

I do...kinda...like the title "8 Slices of Evil" ... I think it's got potential.

But then again, I would also love to see a movie about killer oranges, so, go figure.

Juices of Evil?

An Axe to Rind?


(sorry I'll never post again)

Yeah yeah

"Juices of Evil -- The Squeeze of Juicifer"

Personally, I'd go for the one about the pizza delivery boy myself and I take it you've had some experience in such lines of work but how does this grab you:-
A Newton's cradle made out of human heads or:-
a human torso put on a spike in kebab shop?
BTW:-have you made any of these films yet? Look at how Robert Tapert, Bruce Cambel and Sam Raimi started their careers?

This is a forum. You have as much right as everybody else but I'm not one of those prats on youtube that respond with comments like 'go f*ck yourself, wanker!' (this wasn't aimed at you. Just the idiots who post that sort of response if they don't agree and don't take it personally). If I don't agree or have an opinion, I don't reply. YOU CONTINUE POSTING IF YOU WANT AND JUST BE GLAD YOU'RE NOT ON GAMESPOT!!!

I like it. Sounds like it could be good for a few laughs. I'd watch it, so long as it didn't go on too long. Perhaps give the pizza guy some humourous back story? Why is he the way he is? Don't make it a deep look into his life, I think some stupid reason that shouldn't have as much of an effect as it clearly does.

I can not officially say how long we suspect either movie to be, but we do plan on giving the Pizza boy an interesting back story haha

8 Slices sounds pretty funny, however I didn't notice a reply regarding your level of experience on this sort of endeavor. If you want my advice, don't let your friends get drunk during filming.

Well not long, me and my brother have done short videos and my brother is currently taking a class on it to kind of help. Either way, this will be our first full length. Though if any of my friends were drunk when they come to filming, I'll beat them sober haha.

Well sure, but beating up drunk people is another movie all together.

Seriously, don't let your friends get drunk during filming, they'll try, and it'll turn into a big waste of time. People hate working for free, even your friends, and generally when people are not getting paid it makes them feel like turning it into a 'good time'. I have seen it happen more times than you are years old, trust me.

What about if there doing cocaine? Things will get done with more speed and efficiency surely.

Ups the budget too much - cheap and nasty speed is better..

ya, blow is way too expensive. Stock up on instant coffee and Pixie Sticks instead.
