Tell us your Concept and the Group you have chosen.
La Llorona is captured by the government to be studied, experimented on and weaponized. There are rumors as to what the government building houses. On Halloween weekend, a group of high school students dare each other to find out what is in the building. I have chosen two groups; a team of professionals and a social group.
2. Tell us the Dying Pattern of this movie.
Most of the characters are killed off one by one.
3. Give us an Identity and a sentence for each character that makes up your group.
Example: Leader: Without much consideration, Mike sets a direction, then inspires or pushes the group to go there. Hopefully, he guesses the right direction.
I have not figured out all the characters. I envision the high school group bonding in detention, leading to their dare. Trouble maker: Tony.
Popular girl: Becca
Nerd girl: Jen
Jock: Christian
-Need to work on this. I’m unsure. –

La Llorona 2.0 -Terrifying Monster
What I learned doing this assignment is every monster has rules. The rules make it easier to move the story forward.
1. La Llorona 2.0
2. Give us a few sentences for each of the following for your monster:
Their Terror: She isolates by
being able to redirect sound. She can turn blood into ice and torture one
slowly. She can distort reality to confuse her victim.
Their Mystery: How can her
anger be quenched? Her motivation to kill be stopped?
Their Fear-Provoking
Appearance: Her skin has taken on a tree bark-like appearance. It’s easy
for her to blend in shadows and the dark.
Their Rules: Her only desire is
to inflict pain.
Their Mythology: She walks
bodies of water searching for the souls of her dead children. -
Hell Fest Horror Conventions
What I learned doing this assignment is I am over-thinking the story and not writing enough.
Title / Concept: Hell Fest
Terrorize The Characters:
Characters go to a travelling Horror carnival, where each section/maze is built up to be more terrifying, more interactive than the previous one.
Isolation:
Characters are separated, pushed to travel forward through dark passages with random live actor jump scares.
Death:
The lines between reality and make=believe are blurred. Difficult to tell what is part of the Horror Carnival and what is a true threat to their safety.
Monster/Villain:
A hidden killer is referred to as The Other.
High Tension:
Different rooms within the maze have real weapons and a lurking killer, who hides the bodies among the props.
Departure from Reality:
The Horror carnival was supposed to be carefree, fun with a group of friends but turned into a night of survival.
Moral Statement:
The characters who felt directionless and weak were put to the test, digging down for their strengths.
3. Hell Fest is a solid slasher film. It is simple but classic in its pattern of gore and scares.
4. Concept: Urban Legend becomes weaponized by the government
Terrorize The Characters: UL uses their upgraded skills
Isolation: UL escapes while being held in high security, secret lab
Death: UL terrorizes individuals before inflicting pain, leading to death.
Monster/Villain: La Llorona
High Tension: Weaponized skills makes it impossible to predict La Llorona’s movements or actions.
Departure from Reality: The lab and secrecy mean no one is coming to help those trapped in the lab.
Moral Statement: Actions have consequences
