Cartoon is near completion, moving on to something bigger

Sekto Springs · #1 08-08-2004, 11:20 AM

Dear person(s) who takes time out of your miserable lives to read this,

As you know, I have been working toilessly on my cartoon 'The Bloody Escapades of Mr. Smiley' and I am happy to announce that it is very near to completion. Since the subject of months work has now basically ended, I decided to get a jump-start on a newer, much larger, project. A live-action film. It is a horror (of course) and the script itself is still in draft mode. I am wide open to any ideas, character suggestions, scenarios, and such. The movie itself is based around a spree of neighborhood killings caused by a pumpkin faced man. A group of neighborhood kids must collect in a posse with everyone who saw the nightmare of the pumpkin man's past. They must use the small clues left by the psychopath to find a friend he is holding hostage. Will the kid's beat the pumpkin man at his own sadistic game? Or will the pumpkin man be forced to send their friend back to them in pieces? Or will the game itself drive the small group of kids insane?

Who knows? Your ideas will decipher the outcome.

Halloween is quite popular in the USA aint it?Halloween is more or less ignored over here.still a few a trick or treaters.hmm....I think too many movies have good endings....Drive em insane!

Sekto Springs · #3 08-08-2004, 11:25 AM

It is very popular out here. I like your idea. I never intended for my movies to have 'good' endings. But it really depends on the story itself, if I think it will play out better with a good ending, than it will have to be so. But I like bad endings, or suspensful ones.

Cyber-Slig · #4 08-08-2004, 11:49 AM

Bad ending would the choice.Cos the ''good guys'' always win which really annoys me.I like command and conquer due to the evil storyline and baddies win.as for characters......Kids are obviosly going to be some kids called joey , mikey , sarah etc whatever and that pumkin guy reminds me of billy and mandy.You could call him pumpking

Sekto Springs · #5 08-08-2004, 12:09 PM

Pumpking? Sounds like something off of Yugi Oh. The kids were actually going to have less clich'e names. Namely Dennis, Brook, Weldmen, and some guy they call Wolf, who is a real punk-ass dickhead (one of those asinine characters you just want to get killed the worst way). The pumpkin faced guy is called just Pumpkin Face. His real name won't be revealed until later, but you can bet it will be something unoriginal like Jack.

Cyber-Slig · #6 08-08-2004, 12:38 PM

Probably.It is from yu-gi-oh.I dont watch it or collect it but my friend used to.Just thought of that and thought of it

Codek · #7 08-08-2004, 01:23 PM

Sounds like another teen horror flick. Convo me on MSN when you start having original or at least half decent ideas.

Mac the Janitor · #8 08-08-2004, 02:59 PM

Hey - my toon is almost done as well. Should be done tomorrow.

And it will PWN YOUR TOON

Nah, but I seriously look forward to Mr. Smiley and this new movie you're making. Will you be posting it on the net or what?

Al the Glukkon · #9 08-08-2004, 03:05 PM

Sounds good as long as it's original. I get tired of the horror movies where they do stuff like a character gets grabbed by someone but it just turns out to be another good guy. God I hate Yu-gi-oh. My freind used to play it at lunch and it embarassed me.

Cyber-Slig · #10 08-08-2004, 03:06 PM

Lol I hate it too.My friend sat there and played while I had nothing to do.Its mind boggling.

Smitz · #11 08-08-2004, 03:21 PM

Tch, my friend plays it with her teenage cousin all the time.That's right, I said teenage. It reminds me of Pok'e'mon, sorta.

Esus · #12 08-08-2004, 09:46 PM

I don't like teen horror movies, they're unoriginal and boring.
The only good part of the movie, as it currently seems, would be the good guys searching for clues which drive them insane - but it would be hard to get right.

Can't wait for The Bloody Escapades of Mr. Smiley though.

the brew master · #13 08-08-2004, 10:06 PM

call pumpkin face fluffy or something............

im not sure about drivin them insane,its been done to death(Blair Witch Project).

maybe you could have this wolf character think hes all big and beef and thinks hes the best and when he encounters the pumpkin face he like totaly gets freaked out.

Codek · #14 08-09-2004, 06:03 AM

I MSN'ed some ideas to SS, he seemed to like them so he'll probably relay them here.

Fez · #15 08-09-2004, 07:26 AM

They should kill Pumpkin man and then all get slaughtered by mad, angry men made out of hot Bovril and Gravel...... and then run over by an Ice-Cream van...... Indeed.

Sekto Springs · #16 08-09-2004, 10:09 AM

Codek gave me some ideas that seemed to make my story a little more original. He suggested that when the killings start, many people leave but a few stay behind to guard the homes. One of the few is a scientist who is intrigued by The Pumpkin Face's twisted mind and calls upon his military friend (Who "kicks ass" as Codek so bluntly put it) as a body guard in order to get close and personal with the insane pumpkin fiend. The others including a group of teens, an elderly couple, and a couple of newly weds are left as a bait for the scientist's twisted studies and are slowly picked off one by one by the evil Pumpkin Face, the baited residents strive to stay alive but break down after they find one of their friends has been kidnapped by the pumpkin man. In an attempt to find clues left by the diabolical maniac they end up being killed and driven insane by the menace's games. Atleast I think that's what the story will be, alot of changing is involved. I'm still open to changes, suggestions, ideas, and such that you have. So submit some, damnit!

Codek · #17 08-09-2004, 10:28 AM

That's basically what I suggested.

The only parts you've left out are how the pumpkin face became evil and... well... pumpkin faced. And also the part where the scientist and his bodygaurd finally manage to get samples from the pumpkin face, and retreat to the home of the scientist's deceased father (which is a spooky hilltop mansion with lots of science labs).

Cyber-Slig · #18 08-09-2004, 11:42 AM

Well sounds like Halloween + Friday the 13th.Now for ideas....pumpkin face could be evil due to the scientist secret experiemnt with him and a pumpkin ^^

Al the Glukkon · #19 08-09-2004, 11:50 AM

That sounds good. I like the scientist bit, maybe they could capture the pumpkin man and ask him some questions. What kind of weapons will he use? Maybe tools used for carving Jack-o-lanterns.

Cyber-Slig · #20 08-09-2004, 11:52 AM

Or he could've went in to get a bad tooth removed and woke up finding himself with a pumpkin head

Codek · #21 08-09-2004, 01:25 PM

He doesn't actually have a pumpkin for a head - it's just a facial deformation which occured during a nuclear reactor accident. His brain was subject to a type of gamma ray which affected certain polarised areas of his neural pathways. His grasp of right and wrong were effectively inverted - causing him to react in the worst way possible to absolutely everything.

You find this out when the scientist and his military buddy go to a pond near the reactor where they take samples of fish affected by the radiation there.

sligster · #22 08-09-2004, 01:27 PM

pumpkin head.... kill him and make pumpkin pie! yay!

Cyber-Slig · #23 08-09-2004, 01:28 PM

Blinky the 3 eyed fish comes to mind

so hes basically a mutant?Sounds realy whacky and really fun

Codek · #24 08-09-2004, 01:34 PM

Something tells me the film will be based around the morals of using nuclear reactors for power. Depending of course, entirely on where SS wants to take it. At the end of the day it's going to be his movie.

I would say that whacky and really fun is always a safe bet when SS is in the driving seat.

oddguy · #25 08-09-2004, 02:07 PM

I can't wait to see SS's and Mac's toons.

-oddguy

Huh...I had a friend who wanted to make a horror flick. It was about some guy bringing Hitler back to life. And Hitler's minions would be those who died in the Holocost.

Terrible.

Sekto Springs · #26 08-09-2004, 05:39 PM

Yay. Music....

Huzzah.

Codek · #27 08-09-2004, 05:44 PM

Hmm, this looks like fun - I'll go make some music too.

caracal · #28 08-10-2004, 04:44 PM

add your typicall terror movie hero, the one who always survives, and follow him closely until the killings start, when they start make him die in a really stupid cocky way, and make him one of the first

Codek · #29 08-10-2004, 04:51 PM

That's not a bad idea actually. Have a "faux hero". (got a pretty good ring to it eh?)

Have him survive one or two killings and then get grossly fuxed...

Cyber-Slig · #30 08-10-2004, 05:39 PM

Now the ways of killing are important...The grossest way of dying could be getting chopped to tiny little bits which you could probably eat if you wanted to.Maybe the kills could get worse and worse every killing.E.g. the first killing is strangling 2nd is slit throte 3rd is decapitate and so on.
