Need your ideas for a screenplay!

[SpaceMutt07]

Hey folks..I could use some help right now. I've been dying to write something, a screenplay mostly, but cant think of a damn thing to write about. I want it to be horror, not slasher or ghost, nor do i want to do a sequel to any existing horror films...i need HELP. Someone, could you help me out??

try a mindfuck, they are always welcome, but kinda hard to write.

Make a "three story" script that takes place in a town, make the three stories really scary (have scary shit happen to the characters...apparitions, ghosts, scary hallucinations) and have them in three spans of time for example:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Character/Story 1:Jessica (18)
• Hour 1: She wakes up and walks out of her house. Sees everyone gone. Goes to school.
• Hour 2: No one in school, checks it out.
• Hour 2 ½: Finds Terry. Who proclaims herself to be ‘new in town’ and has an extremely hostile attitude towards Jessica.


Character/Story 2:Jason (17)
Back story: Not Real (He made it up, without knowing so)
• Hour 3 ½: He arrives in Crystal Falls from Forest Meadow, the town he is currently living in.


Character/Story 3:Carlos (30)
• Hour 4: Drives in town and sees everyone is missing.
• Hour 41/2: Sees Jessica entering the hospital
---------------------------------------------------------------------
And make the stories in NON chronological order, like so:
---------------------------------------------------------------------
• The movie starts with JASON arriving in town (Hour 3 1/2)
• Then, we see him take a room in a hotel.
• Something happens, he sees a ghost for instance.
WE CUT TO:

• Jessicca waking up the same day but three hours before (Hour 1)
• She arrives in the school. (Hour 2) but no one is in there, she leaves school and the town is empty.

Three stories in different spans of time and in no chronological order can get really confusing and leyered, so before writing, try serious brainstorming, take notes, visualize stuff, imagine twists. If you make it work properly, you would be amazed how layered and good it can get. If you go with something like this ,GOOD LUCK and don't forget to put NighCrawler in your credits. ;)

Hmm..interesting idea, Nightcrawler..I just came from reading another post and maybe doing something along the lines of a phobia type story...its hard to decide.
