Horror Film Ideas

After discussing with my group, we thought of different ideas of plots for our film. One idea was for the film to be set on halloween with trick or treaters knocking on various doors wanting excitement and to be scared. They actually get more than what they expected and after knocking on a eery looking caravan they are pulled in ... but nothing pulled them in. The film would centre around them trick or treating then finding the caravan and following the struggles to survive. This follows the conventions of existing horror films as it has mystery as the audience will have to wait until the end of the film to find out what is terrorizing the characters which is a common factor of existing films.

Another idea my group thought of was to centre around the caravan I mentioned in the first idea. We chose the caravan as a possible location because it takes something simple and adds mystery to it and it is also not obvious. We have used the 'haunted house' idea but developed it to a caravan. We thought one of the main characters could arrange a halloween party, as we would like our film to be based on Halloween as it is quite scary in itself as it is the night for people to dress up as scary characters. Ideas for the main points in the film could be the characters trapped in the caravan with something chasing and terrorizing them. It could be a real person or it could be something supernatural. These are still ideas. Possible endings could be all the characters to die. Another one could be all but one character could survive which would be a good aspect to stem a sequel on.
