mine is a slasher with the murderer who wears a gasmask and a trench coat he's also vary hard to kill . im talking flying limbs. what are all of your ideas........
Wise. Been cooking on some stories myself for a 'Twilight Zone' esque collection of horror-comic tales. Some idea's are crap, but some I'll indeed won't just share on the net just like that.
But for a peek at one of my minor baddies: a 17'th century 'psychologist' that seeks the border between sanity and madness. On this mission he constructed an mechanical exoskeleton in which he places his 'patients' and takes control of their bodies, but not their minds, and makes them kill imprisoned loved-ones, mutilate themselves and more nasty things, while they are kept awake and aware by drugs. All just to find out at which point the mind can't take no more and starts to shift to madness...
#1: The Wrong Kids: Don, Duane, and Trixie Wrong are three ordinary high school kids...at least by day. But when night falls, they carry on an unusual family tradition: hunting down creatures of the night. Armed with intelligence, athletic prowess, courage, and (limited) magical skills of their own, they aren't your average horror movie teenagers! Evil has finally met...THE WRONG KIDS!
#2: Bloody Mary: Or, what happens when the undead slasher's the good guy? Mary Winters died trying to avenge her boyfriend's murder. Now, she can't rest in peace until her killer's brought to justice...even if she must rise up and do the job herself! (Basically, think The Crow meets Jason Voorhees.)

Heh, what do you think of The Wrong Kids though? Does it sound too much like Supernatural or Buffy or anything?

(Yes, I know...a "horror movie" retelling of Shakespeare's The Tempest. And yes, I know about Forbidden Planet, so stop telling me my ideas are unoriginal! I just thought a "slasher movie" version of one of Shakespeare's plays would be cool, OK? )
A group of teenagers/twentysomethings and their wealthy parents are the only survivors when their cruise ship washes up on an uncharted island after a storm. Wandering about the island, they get feelings of an unseen presence observing their every move. Like an unstoppable slasher, the being hunts them.
One of their number, Ferdinand (who calls himself "Fred" because it sounds less effeminate) discovers a beautiful girl on the island, and after a talk learns her name is Miranda. He also runs into her father, John Wayne "Duke" Prosper, who possesses weird superhuman powers...including, it turns out, the ability to summon the storm that sank the ship in the first place!
Duke tells his story: he was once mayor of Milan County, until he was framed for a crime he didn't commit. He and Miranda were driven out of town by rioting townsfolk, and got away on their houseboat. Then their boat washed up on the island, where they discovered a wrecked spaceship. Experimenting with the ship's technology gave Prosper his powers, and there was also a survivor: a brute named Caliban.
Prosper turned Caliban loose on the wealthy old men who framed him, but now Caliban is also hunting their children -- Fred's friends! Fred and Prosper will have to put aside their differences to stop Caliban.
So, whaddya think?
