This one didn\u2019t come together until I saw the second pic. The first pic is a bunch of friends celebrating a birthday. Nothing bad but not much material to work with. Until we add the second pic. That\u2019s what sparked the idea.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s not the people but where they are. Looks like a corn field behind them and that\u2019s what we\u2019re going with. This could be more of an opening scene to set the stage of the story. These characters aren\u2019t the story.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m thinking they\u2019re more wrong place, wrong time sort of thing. It would take place in September and it\u2019s still really warm, hence the shorts and causal summer outfits. October and Halloween is still a long ways off.<\/p>\n

The place they\u2019re at does events and stuff. It feels more like a business vs someone\u2019s backyard at their house. It\u2019s somewhere in America and we\u2019ll go with a creepy\/scary type (cause cornfields) and there\u2019s a serial killer on the loose. Maybe there\u2019s a couple of them. I have a few ideas\/groups that it could be even if we don\u2019t want to create somebody completely new.<\/p>\n

I don\u2019t see this being a straight slasher type story where everyone at the party gets killed, but that\u2019s certainly an option. Rather I think this could be a good bounty hunter type of story. Maybe the Duncan Brothers are hired to find and take down this serial killer.<\/p>\n

The locals are too scared or unable to handle this sort of thing. Maybe this takes place in an area that only has state police come through a couple times a month, in the middle of nowhere America sort of thing. And maybe somebody from the birthday party has connections and that\u2019s how we could bring in the Duncan Brothers and tie the story together.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m liking that angle.<\/p>\n
