Hey, I'm currently working on a script for a low budget horror movie for college and I need some ideas for then next scene.

I've introduced the characters, the ghost and the location (which is at the college they go to) and the characters have just ran into the ghost for the first time and they ran away but I dunno what to do next, make them speak at the front of the building about their encounter or wait until the next day.

Any ideas?

This sounds like a plot from a scooby doo film! :rolleyes:
:D

If it was me i would be straight down the bar getting pissed, and college students need precious little excuse to do that. They can chat there.

lol well its nothing like Scooby Doo and besides if you just saw a ghost wouldn't you run from it speicaly when it screams "GET OUT!"

Oh and the film has to be like ten minutes long, I got this idea for the next day but I don't really know what to make them say when they just saw it and after there conversation about it.

Got any more ideas?

Thats a good place to go, maybe there could be a creaky old janitor who points them in the right direction

..Yeah...its cool when then use an old guy/lady who knows alot about the paranormale....its called the learning stage in movie terms..i think...but if it gonna only last 10 min. then it would be hard to have an decent presentation of the actor....

They all ran into a ghost???? Then they should be discussing the current situation right now, not the next day.

You should make them go to the local pub after they run off to discuss the situation and they mention it in front of one of the locals. The whole bar goes quiet and some old crotchity man in the corner smoking a pipe tells the story about the ghost of some janitor that was murdered with a mop bucket or something and still roams the halls of the local college.

The reason he told them to "Get Out" was because he just finished mopping the floor and they are tracking dirt in on his nice clean floor.

Guaranteed an A for that one. Horror should have an element of humor in it.

I always find a film to be more enjoyable with a hint of dark humor.
