I was wondering if you had to make a horror movie about an animal, which animal would you choose? Now i'm not talking about a giant animal or anything like that, just a regular one. You can give any reason as to why you chose that one and maybe explain what your movie would be about. If you choose something that's been done a lot like a shark or alligator explain how your movie would be different.
For me i would choose an Owl.
First off, check this out:

Owl's are fucking creepy as that video shows. Also they are nocturnal which is a big monster ingredient.
This is what my movie would be about. If you've read any of my books you know i like to keep things simple so i wouldn't go the SyFy route and have it been a genetic experiment or anything stupid like that. My movie would simply be about a boy who is terrified of the Owl that seems to be stalking him. No one would believe him until the bloody end. I wouldn't really give any reason as to why the Owl is evil or any kind of motive, it would just be there killing.
Now obviously this could be ruined by a silly title like "Wooo!" or by being too corny, people just not finding an owl scary or by the non explanation of it's killings. Still i think it could be done and be pretty good.
What about the rest of you?
