self bump

...

A Jew is haunted by nightmares of a lost nickel.

somthing simple

some little faggot tries to get the internet to do his homework and all they do is call him a faggot also some zombies or something.

oy vey,i don't want to be expel

A chad awakens to discover he has transformed into a virgin.

Writing only? Or will you have to produce it at some point?

Regardless, I recommend you take any niggling fear or paranoia you've got and exaggerating it tenfold. See what happens.

>expelled

Also make a metaphor out of it if possible, e.g. a monster. Like that one Black Out or Lights Out movie or whatever was a metaphor about depression with the monster that appeared in the dark

if you have the balls to pull this off it will be fucking great
try and claim it's a metaphor for the jew losing hope in society after the holocaust. make the nickel a gift from his grandad.

> A serial killer is on the loose
>Police cant figure out what that murder weapon is
>Its actually an icicle
>The murderer hides it up his ass
>He has to completes kills before the icicle melts

Its sort of like an American psycho/ Silence of the lambs thing

>Regardless, I recommend you take any niggling fear or paranoia you've got and exaggerating it tenfold. See what happens.

Just to take a random example, suppose you're a big guy and like to banepost now and then. Hotheaded janitors don't like that?

Well what if instead of a ban, your casual "BANE?" OP sets him off on a murderous rampage? He starts hunting you down, frames you so the CIA comes after you, and one day he puts a bag on your head, cuffs you, and sets your house on fire.

Now that's a horror movie.

Strong fantasy elements too

Exactly. This is why things like Friday the 13th work. Lots of teens back then would head off and camp in the middle of nature, but it's kind of scary. What if you see a bear or have to drive past a hobo?

The movie amplifies that into a magical, murderous hobo that's totally invincible.

Make it like a Telltale Heart kind of thing with a little bit of unreliable narrator. There's this calling out to him from under the floorboards, but the entire movie you have no idea why he keeps clawing at them, or screaming for "it" to shutup. The entire movie you keep hearing a coin drop, and rolling and him going "NOOOO". The reveal is he drove himself so insane the police came in and discovered what he was looking for, they pull up the floorboards expecting whatever, and it's the nickel. Then the final black and white scene gives the full reveal of what happens and matches up with the coin dropping and rolling sounds.

I had a dream a while ago where it was like a carnival setting but everyones just freaked out. Random bad shit keeps happening and I had to track down the reason why. Eventually I find out that a deranged clown dude is like killing people and writing satanic shit everywhere. Me and some folks who are with me find this guy in the act defacing a recently murdered case, but he doesnt give a shit we caught him. He looks at us in a disturbed and menacing way. Some of us shoot him down but theres no relief. It turns out he was killing people and writing satanic shit down everywhere as some part of a ritual and after he gets killed a freakish monster rises out of the shadows by his body and its like the world has turned upside down. Then I run the fuck away filled with dread because I'm terrified with horrifying sounds of a massacre coming from the tent.

I think it could be pretty good if it starts out x-filesish and upon the clowns death switched around to be a straight satanic horror.

A movie about a liberal on Election Night

Or let's take the mindset of film students. They've got fears like not finding a job/poverty, creepy/awful/shitbag professors, things go wrong on a film set...

So how about a professor sets up a class on horror films, with the first semester having each group learn how to write a script and the professor offering certain tweaks. More exotic locations, gorier scenes, adding in villains, that kind of stuff. Then the second semester focuses on each group filming their scripts and the professor working to make the horror films real.

I know this is a meme answer, but let's work with it as a challenge.

The problem with "omg Drumpf!" is that while it's an emotionally charged fear, it's ultimately not that personal. Someone at Antarctica Station watching shit go down on the Nostromo might be terrified, but they're not the best perspective. Even a worst-case, 10x-as-bad scenario of Trump rounding people up into camps is just Schindler's List with different skin colors.

You need to either go larger scale (Hillary on election night, getting hunted down as a political opponent) or smaller scale (like a corrupt mayor/cult leader getting elected then going all pod people/ethnic cleansing on the town or something).

I've always been creeped tf of out by the concept of a grey alien

I'm not even going to read this.

Is it because of their large, inviting eyes dissonantly combined with their pallor so eerily reminiscent of dead bodies?

you have to use metaphors, make the race be between Jesus and Satan. Have family members that voted for Satan. It's a short film, it doesn't need that much depth, you can just have the race be the instigator of a family tearing itself apart alongside the existential horror of thinking some of your family voted for "Satan". Bonus points if you set it in a swing state and some family members didn't vote because "both parties are the saaame man"
