IF YOU HAD $50 MILLION BUCKS?

[!MorganOnyx!]

What would y'all do if you won $50 million on the lottery??!! You can post any idea, but remember it must be horror movie related (hence the nature of the board :p). Would you open up your own horror movie memorabilia shop or buy your own cinema for late night cult classic showings? Perhaps you'd attempt to buy your way into the horror movie business by producing a new slasher flick or going the whole hog and starting your own independent film company that specializes in distributing low budget horrors?! Maybe you'd pay to organize the best ever 7 day horror convention featuring the world's best horror stars?!

The first thing I would do is get DON COSCARELLI to make the fifth and final PHANTASM movie. I'd throw all the money into the project to allow him to make the best and ultimate movie of the franchise to end it all. The only thing I'd ask in return is that he listen to the phans ideas about who and what to put in the movie. Oh, and I would have to be present on set every day as a 'script supervisor' and assistant director to the assistant director. :D

[therealjohng]

Without a doubt, I would open a small theater and show cult classic horror. It's always been a dream of mine to live in a town that does that. It would be a great honor to do that.

[!MorganOnyx!]

Yeah that's definately something that I would love to do too. Have an old school creepy ass theater like the one in JOHN CARPENTER'S CIGARETTE BURNS and show movies at midnight like SUSPIRIA, THE CHANGELING and PHANTASM :cool:

[vesaker]

I'd make some sort of thriller/soft porn movie where the killer is Scarlett Johanses as the killer and she's always naked and....... well it doesn't matter what else happens in the movie now dose it?? lol ;)

[Psychocandy]

Besides building myself the ultimate home cinema and assembling an incredible collection of movies...i'd likely take the opportunity of not having to work anymore to take some kind of film classes. Then i'd invest a couple of million in making a low budget horror flick. Definitely.

[zombievictim]

I would make a little theater in some small town that showed Cult Classics and just plain good ol horror movies. Have some cool little marathons once a month. Do like A Nightmare on Elm Street, Friday the 13th, and Halloween marathon. Do a "My Favorites" bit in which I show my favorite films. Then hold some independent film festival in the theater. That would be INCREDIBLE.

Then, since that wouldn't take up all the money, I would make an independent film with a couple million. Premiere it at my theater. It's got me excited just thinking about all I could do.

[slasherfan]

I would buy the right to all the classics so they could never be remade!

Umm...with the money we're given, you may be able to buy two:D

I know exactly what you mean! I went to bed one night and all I could think about was winning the lottery! From that, all of these kick ass ideas of what I could do with the cash came into my head. Ever since I heard about a fifth PHANTASM (about 8/9 years ago now) all the negative talk has involved money, and how they can't make the movie they want to because no one would put up the money for it. In the day and age of remake after remake where big studios are spending anything between $10-30 million, it makes me sick to think they won't provide DON COSCARELLI with the money to make a movie that would be a sure fire hit with phans all over the world.

I would give him whatever he needed to make it the right way. I even began thinking about the design of the poster art, along with the trailers and tv spots!!! :)

At this rate, that's better than nothing.

[!MorganOnyx!]

Oh I just thought of something else I'd do. I'd pay PARAMOUNT to give us fans of the FRIDAY THE 13TH movies the boxset we deserve! Every single movie UNCUT!!!!! A commentary with at least 5 major cast members in each film and shit loads of featurettes, trailers, tv spots, interviews and behind the scenes footage!!!! :D

[mrdeeds]

I would definitely open my own horror movie theatre, a small cineplex of say 3-5 screens.

FUCKING A!!! i've always thought that that box set was such a fucknig rip off i meen come on 8 or 9 movies on 5 discs!?!? WTF is that when you've got a 10 or so disc Matrix box set where 90% of extras are just interviews of the same actros saying the samethings over and over again.

THERE IS NO JUSTICE!!!!! :mad:

Exactly dude. I've still held off buying the boxset, even though most peeps say it's worth it for the extras that do appear. I can't believe we miss out on ANDY'S death in PART 3!!! And VERA'S!!! So many that I'm dying to see! All I have, apart from the original vhs versions, is the original on R2 UNCUT. That kicks ass, but that's it! :(

Details boy! What would you show on these screens? :confused: And would you have theme nights i.e slasher, monster, supernatural etc???

[EVILxxx]

Like some of you guys have already stated, I would open an old fashion theater and play horror movies 24 hours. that would be a dream.
However I would also like to invest in, and executive produce Alien 5 and finalize the series.

[ParileseMonster]

I would get Fangoria to have a convention in Sacramento and I would advertise the shit out of it because their lame efforts for the con in San Jose was sad.

I would buy some land and have a weird ass house like the Winchester Mansion and inside would be my own theatre and I would have some wet t shirt slumber party massacre parties. Bimbo Night, Gore Night, Slasher Night, whatever the hell kinda night with kooks and weirdo's and loose women running around. :D

Take a vacation to haunted locations and move Linnea Quigley back to LA where she belongs and want's to be.

It would be cool to have some sort of Joblo Schmoe type gathering so we could all meet each other and hopefully I would not be pelted too bad. ;)

Sounds like a horror movie waiting to happen ;)

Those ideas proper rock! I can't believe I didn't think of them already! Yeah getting all of us schmoes in the same place at the same time would be difficult enough, but money could make that happen! We'd have to have a special screening in your theatre of THE HITCHER in honour of THE ARROW and all get drunk to fuck!! (The original movie of course - we wouldn't want GRAVER'S proposed notion of a horror movie "waiting to happen" to ACTUALLY happen. Showing the remake to THE ARROW man may get the party kick started in a different kind of way! :p)

Ha! :D

[Bourne101]

I would take all 50 million and build a massive 30 auditorium theatre, which screens 30 different horror movies from all different years, and all limited release horror flicks will be automatically shown at my theatre.

[jimpickensj]

Start my own publishing company/movie studio and make the stuff that I want to see and read.

[X-Nightcrawler]

[Nima]

I would write, produce, and direct my masterpiece ....

Lesbian Teen Vampire Campers vs The Zombie Ninja Robots from Outer Space

It would not be PG-13. ;)

Of course it wouldn't be fun. We always need a little diversity to spice up a party. And I bet you'd be fun to drink with so I wouldn't go to a joblo party without you!:D

[Mentiroso]

I would build the ultimate zombie proof hide out just in case......

He'd probably just talk everyones ear off on how much better the new horror movies are compared to the old.

Haha. I would bring a copy of Silent Hill and threaten to burn it every time he annoys me. That'd shut him up.

Fine, I would threaten to blow up every Silent Hill dvd on the planet! (Little do you know that SH dvds are bombs and only I have the trigger! MWAHAHA!)

[Narfellus]

For $50 million? I would write the script for the Thing 2, maybe hire a pro screenwriter to help me, i'd rope in John Carpenter as a consultant, and i would hire the sfx team from the first film and some newcomers, and i would sure as HELL not have a bunch of stupid CGI, because in effect i would be the Producer of the film and calling the shots, although in a perfect world, the director and I would see eye to eye and we would revitalize a franchise and escalate the Thing 2 into stardom.

And i would have a plasti-cast model of Kurt Russel in the beginning of the film, frozen in ice...

[a7xfan]

this is a cool as fuck idea spinoff to loads of series of horror films,

okay with $50 million i would make a horror film starring michael myers,jason, freddy and all other slashers and stuff, and i would put them all into a saw film, that would be fucking cool!!!!

just imagine jason in that rib device from 3 and he loses... awesome, but dnt worry it dnt hurt him, he just walks away, also i would have the girl who plays amanda walking around naked for the entire film, she's hawt!!!! :P

anybody want to start a fund :D

[TheJadedGamer]

I'd make a PG-13 horror movie, watch as it makes a shitload of money, and then roll around naked on my money-covered bed as I sniff coke off the back of some hot hooker's ass.

Damn, its like you were born to be a Hollywood producer. :D

[LordSimen]

I'd use it to make the film script I'm currently writing a reality. Haha.

Actually, i like your idea better than mine. Yoink!

[X-Nightcrawler]

Originally posted by TheJadedGamer

But yeah, in all seriousness, I'd make a movie marketed for money (who cares what it's all about), then another then another. When I have enough bucks, I'd do one of my own.

[Dr.Loomis37]

I would let George Romero make the unrated zombie epic we've been waiting for since '78.

[!MorganOnyx!]

I'd tell HUGH GRANT the hookers are on me at a private party in the woods. Hire a limo to take us into the middle of nowhere and kick the fucking dog shit out of him until he agrees to stop acting altogether or make a film where he actually acts and doesn't just play himself. Smarmy, soppy bollocked cunt! :mad:

[zoom1200]

With 50 mil I would build a new house with a attached theatre which would seat about 30...

as well as invest in a indie film company, where I could get some of the movies I want made...

[Dark_One79]

Two chicks at the same time.

- OR -

I would spent the next few years in film school and try my hand at making my own films. It that didn't go anywhere I would buy a drive-in and spend the rest of my life there. Of course I would also have a very nice house and would be on vacation for around 10 months out of the year.

[!MorganOnyx!]

Nothing to do with the horror genre but I'd get rockstar games to develop a WARRIORS 2! I fucking loved the original game!! :D

[Tuukka]

I would put 49 million on a bank account and use 1 million to make a low budget horror movie. If it would go down well and become somewhat succesful, I would do another one, with a bit bigger budget.

I the film would suck ass and not make any money, then I would do another 1 million low budget horror movie, to see if I would have learned enough from my first experience.

Repeat that 1 more time, and if my movie would still suck ass, I would start searching for better talent, who's movies I could finance.

[Zeeboe]

I'd become a horror movie producer, cast myself as an extra and even give myself lines from time to time in the movies I produce.
