I want to create a horror film, in the near future. I'm planning to write the script myself, but I'm sort of lacking ideas at the moment. The few ideas I have seem don't seem very original, but I'm not sure what else I could do within the horror genre.
#1: A group of teenagers, that will be played by myself and a few friends, are going out to the country to camp. They get out to their campsite and everything is going well. Then they learn a lot of teenage boys have been disappearing in that area, they don't really think anything of it until one of them goes missing...
#2: A few friends are hanging out at home, then the power goes out. When they try to go out to the garage to check the fuse box, they discover they are locked inside the house. They try to call the police, but the phones are missing. The group is then terrorized by a crazy killer.
Those are the only ideas I have right now and like I said, they don't feel very original to me. Which scenario seems best to you guys, and what do you think I could do to make it better? If you don't like either of those ideas, do you have any ideas of your own I might be able to use? You would get credit, if it ever becomes a reality.
