Updated plans:
Changing the structure completely now, it wasn’t until recently I had thought of a cheaper short film
idea.
With the fundraising plans being thought through, I wasn’t sure of another way I could still tell Mary
Ann’s story without having to go back to the Victorian era. But whilst I was at a filmmaking
workshop, there was a lot of mention about a short film only needing to be a simple idea that can be
made without money being involved.
Still unsure of how to go about that, it wasn’t until we started watching student horror films where it
came to mind that I could make a short film, about the urban legend on Britain’s first female serial
killer. Kind of like the whole ‘Bloody Mary’ story.
That way, I can base the story in the modern day not having to worry too much about the Victorian
style making everything a lot easier and simpler.
Needing to come up with the exact plot, a few key points that have been thought up include:
 Teenage kids uncover the ritual-based urban legend about Mary Ann Cotton
 A little of the woman is discussed still telling the audience who she is
 They mess around and summon her expecting nothing to happen
 She shows up and haunts the kids.
A cliché I know, but it’s what I have for a simple plot.
Now I did look around, but I was unable to find any legends relating to the killer so it does seem that
I will have to come up with that on my own as well. I just need to make sure the curse relates to the
original story. Like how ‘Bloody Mary’ is looking for her baby in some beliefs. Only it wouldn’t make
sense to do that considering Mary Ann murdered her family.
So, what I have to take into account really involves Mary Ann murdering her husbands and children
with arsenic poison for their life insurance, followed by her being hung for her actions.
I guess the most difficult part of this is coming up with an original urban legend, something that
hasn’t been used before but also clips in well with the killer’s motives. Especially when it wasn’t
really the most inhumane thing done.
