This is great. Is Kenny the actual killer? She’s mentally insane?

What I learned from this assignment:
The concept I have formy horror script is not strictlyI horror, it is also satire, so I need to really figure out how to carve out more specific elements like the method of terrorizing the characters, drilling down the isolation, high tension.
I broke down two movies —
CONVENTIONS OF HORROR
“Ready Or Not” A Bride must survive her first night of marriage in her husband’s family estate while they hunt her down for a sacrifice to the Devil playing a game of Hide And Seek.
TERRORIZE THE CHARACTERS
The family members hunt down the new bride in a game of Hide And Seek in their mansion using archaic looking weaponry.
ISOLATION
A huge estate far from any other homes.
DEATH
Stabbing. Choking. Bow and arrow. Mallet. Implosions.
MONSTER/VILLAIN
The Groom’s Family that sold its soul to the Devil for wealth and who violently hunts her down for a sacrifice.
HIGH TENSION
The Bride is forced to fight back and kill the Groom’s family members in a series of bloody attacks before sunrise.
DEPARTURE FROM REALITY
A family that is willing to grotesquely and flippantly kill people, even their new family members to pay debt to the Devil.
MORAL STATEMENT
Money is the root of all evil, especially when it comes to in-laws.
CONCEPT
“E Conde” A Vampire fakes his death during the time of Marie Antionette’s beheading and becomes the dictator of Chile in the 70s. He fakes his death again and escapes to a remote island with his Wife and Servant when authorities investigate his ill-begotten wealth and human abuses. After 250 years he loses his will to live until he falls in love with a young and crafty Nun who is hired by his adult children to murder their vampire/ex-dictator father so they can finally inherit. The Vampire’s unknown mother, Margaret Thatcher, shows up to thwart the young Nun and the Servant beheads the Nun. The Vampire then kills his Servant and his own Wife. In the end he and his mother, Margaret, rejuvenate by eating their hearts and then move on to a happy new life as child and mother.
TERRORIZE THE CHARACTERS
The Vampires murder victims by removing their hearts, putting them in the blenders of their victims, and drinking them like slushees.
ISOLATION
A remote island the family lives on alone in exile in shame.
DEATH
Guillotine. Throat slitting. Blood draining, blender, mallet.
MONSTER/VILLAIN
A murderous vampire, who is also the disenfranchised dictator of Chile and long lost son of Margaret Thatcher spawned from a Vampire assault.
HIGH TENSION
The Vampires eat the hearts of people that get in the way of their fascist crimes. The Vampire’s children want their inheritance, and finally, will the Nun kill him or vise versa?
DEPARTURE FROM REALITY
The dictator of Chile is a 250 year old vampire and the son of Margaret Thatcher who is also a vampire.
MORAL STATEMENT
The dictator of Chile might be dead but his fascist criminality lives on like an undead vampire.

Hi, I’m Leslie. I’ve written just a couple of scripts. Half-hours. I’ve placed in multiple contests and festivals. I consider myself still very much a novice.
