Top Ten Ideas for Horror Movies

Victor wakes up one day to find a pile of bloody corpses in his backyard. He searches his house and finds even more bodies. He is later diagnosed with a disorder that makes him an excessive sleepwalker, and he learns that he kills in his sleep. It's up to him to control it.

Really original and creative. This would make a great movie!

After her parents' divorce, Harmony decides to take a vacation with five friends at a beach house. Here are the six characters:

Harmony - Independent, kind, but extremely serious.
Keegan - Smart, humorous, but clumsy and out of shape.
Matt - Athletic and humorous, but not very smart.
Crystal - Skilled with weapons.
Mackenna - A brunette, surprisingly dumb, and practically useless in survival situations.
Jackson - Shy, somewhat suspicious, and Mackenna's boyfriend.

After the first night, they wake up to find Harmony missing. Eventually, they discover her body - she's been hanged. Now, the remaining five must try to escape.
Note: Harmony's mother is a suspect, but she is not the killer.

Tasha, a single mother of seven, lives in the "ghetto" of Detroit. Her husband died in a fire while at work. One morning, Tasha wakes up to find the streets deserted, and bodies hanging from electrical wires. Despite this, she sends her children off to school. When they return, they find her hanging as well.

Now, her seven children must try to survive with very little to defend themselves.

This reminds me of the game Outlast. Very well written - I can see the potential.

A very effective and engaging idea. I could see this becoming a full feature film someday.

A family of four goes camping in the wilderness for a couple of nights, and they never return. The father's younger brother, along with his sister, agrees to search for the family after the official search party fails. Only one of them survives.

Brielle owns a daycare center. One day, all her toys are mysteriously replaced with jack-in-the-boxes. One of the children opens one, and cyanide gas is released. The child dies. Now Brielle must ensure her own safety and the safety of the other children.

I'm doing horror trailers at school, and I think this is going to be a great idea for one!

Laurence is a mechanic who works from home. One day, as he works on cars, wrenches keep falling on him. Then screwdrivers. Then drills. Then nails. Laurence gets a cut on his knee due to one of the tools but survives. The killer keeps trying to kill him in many ways, but none of the attempts succeed.

A serial killer named Cathrine has already murdered 28 people and has never been caught. She keeps all the bodies preserved in a freezer. Cathrine sets her sights on a new victim, Elavia, but Elavia manages to escape. However, Cathrine watches in shock as Elavia is hit and killed by a suspicious truck. Then the truck tries to run over Cathrine.

The truck continues to kill people while the police remain mysteriously absent. Is this new killer worse than Cathrine?

I like this idea. This should definitely be made into a movie.

A fire devastates Reed City, Michigan, leaving only five survivors: Amy, Erika, Will, Trey, and Meredith. However, a sixth survivor is trying to kill them in this destroyed city.

Great idea! I'm using it for a horror movie project at school.

This movie is a princess story gone wrong. A princess named Cirilla has finally found her prince, Kennedy. Kennedy is killed three days later, so they don't live happily ever after. Cirilla must become more aware of her surroundings if she doesn't want to die.

Eleven people live in a deserted apartment complex. They all know each other and get along well. One of them is killed, and one of them is the killer. They keep diminishing until only two are left: the killer and the survivor. Both surprisingly die after stabbing each other.

So... the eleventh place goes to the only one with eleven in the name? Perfect.

Three friends visiting another friend's house for a party receive a call from a mysterious stranger, telling them they are now part of a deadly game of "Last Man Standing." Each friend soon begins to descend into madness, and they start killing one another. Only one friend survives, but later receives another call from the stranger on his cell phone. This time, he puts the phone on speaker.

The stranger congratulates him on winning the game and tells him to go into the laundry room to claim his prize. The friend, unknowingly still on speaker, takes his phone with him. As he enters the laundry room, he is shot in the back and killed. No one is there after the shooting, except for a smoking gun lying on the floor behind him. The friend drops his phone, and the stranger's voice is still heard over the speaker saying, "You lose." Behind the friend, a message painted in blood on the wall reads, "YOU LOSE!" The stranger's maniacal laughter echoes through the phone.

They should have a train crash for the premonition!

A high school is equipped with electric locks that only work when the power is on. One day, the power suddenly goes out. The students are unaware that someone has broken into the school and sabotaged the power box.

In the darkness, the killer begins picking off students one by one. Trapped inside, they have no way to escape without power.

One trap could be this: A person is trapped in a small room, chained to a pillar in the center. Only one arm is free, and they must retrieve a key from the bottom of a bucket filled with razor blades. The key unlocks the padlock securing the chains, allowing them access to an unlocked exit door.

They must act quickly, as the room is slowly filling with water.

One of the traps should have someone with a magnet glued into their back, pulling them toward buzz saws (kind of like the first trap in Jigsaw). The person has to rip the magnet out of their flesh.

A girl named Vallery goes to her bedroom and starts playing on her phone. About an hour later, she hears three knocks at her door. Vallery opens the door and sees a tall, shadowy figure standing in the doorway. Frozen with fear, Vallery watches as the figure stabs her in the chest.

She wakes up from what seemed like a deep sleep and walks to the bathroom. Looking in the mirror, she realizes her reflection isn't there. Panicking, Vallery runs back to her room and sees her own corpse lying on the bed. She turns around and rushes downstairs, only to find her family's corpses on the kitchen table. Vallery wakes up again in her bed, breathing heavily.

Two years later, a friend of Vallery's shows her pictures of houses (as she's thinking of moving). In every picture, a tall, dark shadow can be seen in the window.

A man buys an air conditioner that gains sentience and tries to kill him and his family.
