Baboons Invade: Make Your Own Plot
A few years ago, I flew into Cape Town, South Africa to do a story on diving for great white sharks. What scared me as much as the sharks were the baboons I discovered on a trip to the Cape of Good Hope. As I climbed up the many stairs to view the wonders of the Cape (which is truly an otherworldly site), I dealt with some slightly evil members of the local baboon population and that was very off-putting (to put it mildly).
Now, reports Sky News, "The chacma baboons, which live wild in the Cape peninsula, have been raiding people's homes for food and causing thousands of pounds in damage.
"People here are getting very angry," Dr Peter Kirsh said, as a baboon strutted along the street beneath his balcony.
"They get into the kitchens, they know where the fridge is, they open it and take everything, and then they defecate everywhere." Wouldn't this make a great horror film if the baboons took things a step further? Along those lines, what kind of innovative horror plot would you write? Of course, are many films withh evil baboons, starting as early as Balaoo the Demon Baboon (1913). So you've got your work cut out for you.
Oh that's horrifying! I think baboons are creepy in general. Was it a baboon at the beginning of 28 Days Later in the lab? I am probably wrong, but that could be scary. It's probably been done before, but how about a baboon infected with a killer zombie virus or something--it escapes and infects lots of other baboons and they run amuck. I would be afraid.
pretty scary! lots of shots of those fang-filled choppers might work, too.
Don't forget, baboons damn near killed Ned Flanders (if it weren't for Reverend Lovejoy of course). Fiesty little fellas.
Wasn't it baboons freaking out and jumping all over the car in The Omen when they drove through that safari park?
My baboon film would somehow work in Samuel L Jackson on a plane. Perhaps the baboons escape their crates and cause havok by making bad in the barf bags and slinging it on everybody. "Primates On A Plane" sort of has a nice ring to it.
your title mos def has a great ring, cracker.
I've been afraid of Baboon's since Harryhausen's Sinbad movies. Any who, of all the animals in the world Baboons are the ones that I think would take over and destroy us all and eat us. Yeah they would freaking eat us. Bears, Lions, Tigers, Alligators they are like, well if we are hungry enough maybe but a freaking Baboon, he would definitely eat you just to spite you and then throw your carcass all around and smash it against trees and run with it until your appendages started falling off all the while it would be screaming and shouting like they do and baring their hair-less pink asses and teeth at their rival baboons who would be quite jealous of their opponents new trophy and dinner. Then they would start hunting human flesh to equal the others trophies and pretty soon they start getting stealthy and learn that it's easier to take humans in their sleep. Grabbing them and wrapping their heads in pillow cases and dragging them out of their homes. Then they begin communicating on a higher level because they've been dining on human brains and picking up on stuff, watching us, studying us learning, getting smarter. All the while with all the blood they've been consuming their eyes begin to turn more and more red and with all the night hunting they get more adept to seeing in the dark. Becoming thinking, unstoppable killing machines who dine on human flesh and move about the night unseen and unheard. The slient killers of the jungles, smart effective and deadly. Yeah Baboons scare the hell out of me.
baboons are definatley scary. theyre big, ugly, and look fierce. my plot would probably invole baboons in a lab that take some kind of chemicals (from a silly doctor-scientist), grow big, and kill and terrorize. it would also need a 5 word long 50s scifi title too.
