A Developing Story...

The Heebie Jeebies

Here are the blueprints that I have noticed to creating a successful suspense-horror film in the new milennium:

Step 1: Whisper your dialog. ALOT. Even in your own house and especially for the sake of the trailer. This is why libraries are so eerie. For reference, see every Bruce Willis movie after Die Hard 3.

Step 2: Long glances at oneself in a dirty mirror. The eyes are the window to the soul, so why not have the soul looking back at you in glass that is horribly in need of Windex?

Step 3: Spooky fonts. Make that verdana text look like it was molested by a hobo. No M. Night Shamalyan spook-flick is complete without it. A kitch variation is the oh-so-artistic crummy handwriting on yellow stained wrnkled notebook paper. Perfect for the promo website. Hey, it worked for Ashton Kutcher. REMEMBER: When in doubt - spoo-oo-hooky fonts.

*An old quack in a vintage book store is always a nice touch. He likes books. Of course he's a sicko.

Step 4: At some point, your lead actor MUST stare at his own hand in fear. This is the all-too-important "My God, am I capable of such attrocities" shot.

Step 5: The teaser trailer will put asses in the seats if you have ominous text spliced beteen scenes, such as:

"What if you could see events..."
