Columbus Day Massacre
I had the opportunity to interview Kane Hodder over the weekend, a video you will soon see, goatlings. As he's the star of Friday the 13th, I asked him if there were any holidays left that hadn't gotten the horror movie treatment, and he gave a pretty sweet answer.
I won't reveal it here, but might it have been Columbus Day?
What sort of plot might that have? It would have to be a period piece set on a boat, right? Or, maybe it could be a modern movie where a bunch of frat boys trying out for the America's Cup race "discover" a new world...of terror.
You can give me your own ideas for a Columbus Day horror plot, or you can fill out the poll. I'm happy either way.
I'm guessing a bunch of white guys show up & start a new disease vector? Coupled with light genocide? "Light."
"Grandparents Day... guess who forgot their pills?"
"Arbor Day... you can't see the forrest through the fear!"
"Personal Assistants Day... I wouldn't call them secretaries if I were you!"
"Take Your Kid To Work Day... little Timmy likes his father's sawmill."
In 1492,
many a sailor's face runs blue.
The Santa Maria runs aground
with many lost and never found.
Oh Maldoror! Doth derail
the plans of those who wayward sail!
Oh Maldoror! Do sucketh breath
from Spaniard sailors in their death!
And whilst Columbus fevers frantic,
follows Maldoror o'er the Atlantic...
Whilst Ferdinand and Isabella sleep,
To Madrid, doth Maldoror creep!
Bastille Day...one word-
Guillotine.
I went with Kwanzaa. You could do this whole zombie thing with it that would be awesome.
And Todd I'm disappointed. Mother's Day http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0081186/ has already been done. It's available on Troma and it ain't half bad for being a second rate knock off of Last House on the Left.
