I Need Help Coming Up With An Idea For A Short Story Which Will Then Be Turned Into A Film...
Basically I am an Actress/Writer/Movie Maker, & I have come up with a new & interesting idea for an online youtube show, which will then be made into a feature film.
I don't want to give to much away about my idea at the moment, but I do need help from you guys to kick start this whole thing off.
I need an idea for a short story. I want it to be a horror, so anything to do with Ghosts/Vampires/Werewolves/Psycho killers - you name it, I want it!
ALTHOUGH - this will only be low-budget, so nothing to out there or expensive to film.
It needs to be around 15-20 minutes long, have a cool twist & end on a cliff hanger. I want it to be interesting to both teenagers & adults alike, as this is the audience I am aiming for.
I want a maximum of 6 characters - 3 boys, 3 girls. They can be friends, related, dating - dating but also having an affair with her best mate, ANYTHING to add drama!
Please - serious answers only - & if I use your idea, you'll get credit I promise x

I liked the movie Let The Right One In where the vampire was a young child. I thought of an idea that might be a bit too controversial for you: a young-looking vampire that preyed on child molesters. I suppose you could change it to serial killers, make a vampire version of the Showtime series Dexter. Somebody evil enough that we don't mind them getting eaten alive.

I have an idea for your story.The 6 kids are home alone they keep hearing creaking everywhere.The house is set along a cliff over looking the Pacific Ocean.They slowly go looking around the house for the creaking sounds.The house is 11,000 sq ft three levels.The creaking is actually the piece of land the house sits on is giving way. but they think there is someone inside.That is a start for you,don't forget to give me credit.

sounds awfully long for a youtube video ...
I wish I could add anything but I would surely advise some horror movies or conversation with people who are into horror movies.Like (1)

If you message me with a snail mail mailing address, I can send you something I made that actually helps a writer generate good, original stories. You sound creative so I think you would get a lot out of this
Story Box, as I call it. I have over a hundred phrases on pieces of paper that include both characters and situations, mostly what the film world calls "high interest" material. You shuffle them and mix them up and then select three of them and use them to brainstorm a story. You can do this any number of times or play around with the slips of paper in other ways. I keep the slips of paper in boxes and my students use this as writing prompts when they want to write fiction/drama. I would only be sending the slips of cardstock paper and you would have to find a place to keep it big enough to shuffle the prompts (an oatmeal box works well). Let me know if you are interested.Like (1)

Since writing is also a pursuit of mine, if I come up with any good ideas, I plan on keeping them. Let me suggest that you put together a play list of dark music and go for a long drive or walk, because the music will put your mind in the right place and the time alone should get the wheels turning, so to speak. If you consider yourself a writer, then cultivate your own ideas and scenarios and play with them. Some of them may go nowhere, but the ones that do grow legs will be worth it.
