Our initial ideas for different film plots.

1. Horror Film Plot Idea #1
Death at the party

2. • Location: Nice sized house located in a village/small town setting
• A teenage party
• Cast: 20/30 teenagers drinking, dancing, talking. The whole house is
full of the teens, very busy atmosphere.
• Suddenly there is a loud disturbance and everyone becomes very
disorientated and doesn’t know what's happening.
• The trailer shows how a girl has been killed and found dead in one
of the bedrooms. Sprayed onto the wall with red paint next to the
dead body are the words “Enjoy the rest of your party, I know I
will”.
• Although the teens are all very scared and want to leave, they
realise they are trapped in the house and there is a supernatural
force amongst them which is teasing them and preventing them
from leaving until they find out who killed the girl.

3. • The trailer shows a lot of violence and frustration from this
point onwards between the main characters who are two 18
year old boys who are competing to be the “hero” who saves
everyone at the party.
• Eventually it becomes clear that everyone they falsely blame
for having something to do with the murder, actually becomes
possessed and the characters who are still pure must attempt
to get their friends real spirits back.
• The trailer shows lots of chaos, loud noises and creepy things
happening within the house, and the rivalry between the two
boys eventually becomes camaraderie as they realise they are
the only ones who can solve the murder mystery and destroy
the evil spirits, bringing back their friends.

4. Horror Film Plot Idea #2

5. Characters
• Main Character- Lucy. (played by Annie Peers)
She is a ‘dumb blonde’ stereotypical character, very
ditzy and popular within school. She is mischievous
and will get herself into trouble for popularity.
• Villain/ghost
• Other classmates
• Caretaker

6. Plot
• Lucy’s late to assembly, there’s nobody about in school but
she hears a tapping noise coming from one of the empty
classrooms. She slowly creeps in to see what it is, but then it
turns out to only be a caretaker in the cupboard tidying up.
• He is angry at her and told her she should not go exploring
alone if she hears noises. She’s confused and questions him,
and he finally reveals that the school is haunted at night. He
told her to return to her assembly and to never go looking for
trouble otherwise it could lure the ghost out to start haunting
the school in the daytime.

7. Plot
• It then cuts to when she is sat with her friends. She tells her friends what she found out, about
the school being haunted.
• They all find it funny and dare her to come into school at night and find out for herself if it’s real.
• She is certain that the caretaker was just scaremongering, so she accepts the challenge. It them
becomes found footage of Lucy recording herself on her mobile phone, breaking into the school
and walking through the corridors at night looking for the ghost.
• She begins to hear strange noises but there are explanations to them all, until she goes into the
toilets and every time she turns the tap off, it comes back on. From then onwards, strange,
unexplainable things start happening and she becomes very distressed as she begins to realise
the story of the school being haunted is actually true.
• It then becomes a case of her trying to escape from the school but being unable to make it out
as the ghost is following her and tormenting her, stopping her from leaving.
• There are lots of shots of her hiding and being crept upon and then the trailer finishes on a clip
of her shaking hiding under a table in a classroom, then a loud scream and the camera being
knocked out of her hand.
• The audience is left on a cliff-hanger as to whether or not Lucy escapes from the school in one
piece or whether the ghost prevails.

8. Horror Film Plot Idea #3

9. • A young girl was found dead in a park as she
committed suicide, police investigated and found
out she did it because she was being bullied.
• The audience find out who the bullies are, then
they begin to receive threatening texts from the
dead girls phone.
• The dead girls ghost is visited by a group of evil
ghosts who have all also been victims of bullying
but have turned sinister due to it. They teach the
girl their evil ways and help to torment the bullies
as a way of gaining payback.

10. • The trailer shows the girls trying to escape from the evil
spirits which are haunting them and the girl’s ghost who
they bullied.
• Each girl ends up getting killed one by one until there is just
one left, and it is up to that girl to show remorse and take
the consequences of what her and her friends did to the girl.
• The audience should end up not knowing whether to feel
sympathetic for the girls who are being haunted or to still
side with the girl who committed suicide, despite her ghost
carrying out these horrible events in an attempt to gain
revenge.
• Location – park, school, houses – where the girl was found
and where her friends go to school and where they live
• Characters – popular group of friends young 16-18years old
girls – the girl who commits suicide is different to them
more shy, insecure and un-popular.
