Ok, I just had the best idea for a horror movie:

Imagine if ghosts were real. Sounds like a standard ghost movie, right? WRONG!

Imagine if every chicken, cow and pig you've ever eaten suddenly decided to haunt you?

MOTHER. FUCKING. CHICKEN GHOST ARMY.

I'm going to be so rich. :party-sicko:

    I once watched a mediocre horror film in my sleep. By that I don't mean that my dream was like a mediocre horror film, the dream was about me watching a horror film, which actually had a sorta consistent plot and characters.

    It starred Robert Downey Jr as a single dad, someone who mayyyybe was Julia Roberts (only younger, she was around 30something or 40 in the movie) but it wasn't entirely clear playing his friend who lives on the apartment just above his (and who is also implicitly lesbian, I have no clue why that detail was there but it was), some kid who played... Well, RDJ's kid, and some old guy who used to own a tavern close to my home as RDJ's dad. So basically an all star cast.

    The basic plot of the movie was that there's this demon that rings your doorbell, and when you answer, he basically gives you a curse where whomever's name you THINK of, they are killed by the demon. So it is sorta like Death Note except it is extremely easy to kill someone you love accidentally and that's kinda where the drama comes in. It's kinda blurry but I think RDJ's dad died that way eventually.

    I even remember a typical fake out scene, where the bell rings again and RDJ is sure it is the demon because he isn't expecting anyone, but his dumb kid just rushes to open the door (since the kid doesn't know about the demon shit) before RDJ can stop him, and there is all this tension and musical cues and it turns out it's actually just implicitly lesbian maybe Julia Roberts, who wanted to surprise RDJ with a cake because it was his birthday. Wasn't a good movie but the dynamic between single dad RDJ and lesbian friend maybe Julia Roberts was kind of unusual and I liked the scenes with them. Maybe it is because single dads aren't terribly common in movies, and if there was a female character involved, she would normally end up being a love interest, whereas now they're just friends living next door and having wholesome birthday dinners together while demons are trying to kill them.

    What I'm saying is, I make better movies than Blumhouse in my sleep.

      It's True Believer. I haven't seen the movie and have the weirdest fucking reason for knowing this.

      Partner and I were going through my giant VHS collection in my parents house and took some unlabeled tapes to see what they were. One was kids in the hall taped off TV in the early 90s and that movie was advertised constantly. This was like three days ago.

            I'm not half remembering, it's literally a movie that doesn't exist and I made up in my sleep lol

            Or I guess my brain made it up, I wasn't conscious...
