The Ghostbusters

As supernatural activity amps up all over New York City, three parapsychologists from Columbia University form a paranormal extermination team. When things escalate to biblical proportions the team is joined by a former U.S. Marine. Along with their abrasive and sarcastic secretary, The Ghostbusters must battle the forces of evil in order to save New York City and the world from the Apocalypse. This is darker R-rated take on the Ghostbusters mythos inspired by darkly comedic movies like "Evil Dead" "House" and "The Frighteners"

Angels & Demons

As of right now this is basically just a list of actresses.

The Sorority House Massacre

"A group of college students are attacked in the middle of the night by a knife-wielding psychopath in a mask." I know I'm completely straying away from the original movie, but I want this to be truly scary. Make you double check the locks on your doors kinda scary. To me, there's nothing scarier than bad people doing bad things. It's HEAVILY based on the November 2022 Idaho College Murders. It might be "too soon", but I just can't get that out of my head. You always hear people saying "It was just like something out of a horror movie!", but not really... Well, on that cold November morning in Idaho, it actually was just like something out of a horror movie.

The Texas Chainsaw Massacre

On August 18, 2023, Sally Hardesty, her invalid brother Frankie, her boyfriend Jerry Hooper and their friends, Kirk Hansen and Pam Henkel fell victim to a deranged, cannibalistic family of serial predators. For them, a peaceful Summer afternoon drive became a nightmare, and the media firestorm that followed led to the discovery of possibly the most horrific crime in annals of American History... The Texas Chainsaw Massacre.

Hack/Slash

The story follows Cassandra "Cassie" Hack. The lone survivor, and daughter of serial killer Delilah Hack, also known as the "Lunch Lady". Following the Lunch Lady murders, Cassie sets out to hunt down and destroying "slashers" wherever she find them.

ASHLEY

"ASHLEY tells the story of Ashley Benton. A twisted sociopath who was nurtured to be a serial killer by the murderous couple that abducted her an an infant." The films that inspired this story are Henry: Portrait of A Serial, The Devil's Rejects, and Leatherface: Texas Chainsaw Massacre III... If you've seen TCM3, imagine if the creepy little blonde girl grew up.

Elm Street: The Springwood Slasher

A three part mini-series set in 1968. Chapter 1 "Suffer The Little Children" covers the murders of 20 children in Springwood, OH. Chapter 2 "The State vs. Frederick Charles Krueger" covers Freddy's trial and eventual mistrial. Chapter 3 "Purification By Fire" covers the parents of Springwood exacting their vigilante justice on Fred Krueger. Since Freddy killed children, it would be tough to take the traditional horror/slasher approach so I would make it more of a crime thriller/horror similar to The Silence of The Lambs.

Gotham Knights

This story picks up eight years after the events of The Dark Knight Rises. Bruce Wayne is still presumed to be dead and former GCPD Detective John Blake has been acting as Gotham City's Dark Knight. He didn't take up the mantle of Batman however. Instead, John Blake took to the rooftops as Red Robin with Commissioner Jim Gordon and Lucius Fox assisting him as they did Bruce Wayne years ago. Now, a gang war between newly minted crime lords Oswald "The Penguin" Cobblepot and Roman "Black Mask" Sionis has erupted in the streets of Gotham. When Jim Gordon is tragically killed in the crossfire, his daughter Barbara, now a discharged U.S. Marine, returns to Gotham looking for answers, and vengeance. Barbara joins John Blake and takes up the mantle of "Batwoman" as a tribute to the man that save her from Harvey "Two Face" when she was a kid. Together, with the help of Lucius Fox's son, Luke and two troubled teenagers, Drake Todd and Stephanie Cain, they wage all out war on the two gangs.

Friday The 13TH

FILM 1: Friday The 13TH - Taking the Rob Zombie's Halloween apporach, the first movie is part prequel part reimagining of the first film. Film 2. Friday The 13TH: Camp Blood - Picks up right where the first ends. Jason's gets his legendary hockey mask and begins a killer spree through Camp Crystal Lake and surrounding community. Taking elements of from parts 2, 3 and "The Final Chapter". Film 3. Friday The 13TH: Revelation - This one is a completely original story and again, we pick up right where the previous film ends. The community of Crystal Lake, NJ. is in near panic and the body count rises, but secrets from the past could be the key to stopping a maniac that seems to be unstoppable.

The Batman Chronicles

NOT A REMAKE OF BATMAN BEGINS With the help of his butler, Alfred Pennyworth, his tech manager at Wayne Enterprises, Lucius Fox and Police Lt. James Gordon, young Billionaire Bruce Wayne adopts the mythical guise of a bat in order to instill fear into the hearts of Gotham City's underworld and rid Gotham of the crime that took his parents when he was a child. Unfortunately for Bruce Wayne and Gotham City, his theatrics opens the door for a new kind of criminal.

The Dark Knight: Legend of The Batman

This TV-MA series revolves around Bruce Wayne and his extended "Bat Family" 20 years after Bruce began battling crime in Gotham City as "The Batman", and things are about to get much darker for The Dark Knight and the rest of the heroes of Gotham City, as well as the entire DC Universe. The series would feature appearances from many other heroes and villains from the DC Universe, and open doors for their very own spin-offs. The ultimate goal would be building up a Justice League mini-series a few years down the line.

Halloween

A Reimagining of John Carpenter's 1978 Classic. "Halloween Night becomes a nightmare for the small Midwestern town of Haddonfield, IL. when a maniac goes on a murderous rampage after being released from a psychiatric hospital."

Freddy vs Jason

Based on the franchise timeline, I'm placing the events of Jason Goes To Hell in 1999. 24 years after the events of Jason Goes To Hell, Stephanie Freeman joins forces with Tommy Jarvis as well as "The Dream Master" Alice Johnson and her son "The Dream Child" Jacob Jordon to once again go into battle against Jason Voorhees and Freddy Krueger.

Batgirl: No Man's Land

Gotham City suffers a magnitude 7.6 earthquake, and in an attempt to rehabilitate the "Worst City In America", the United States government declares the entire island city a No Man's Land, effectively quarantining Gotham from the rest of the country. In the wake of the "Cataclysm", a new hero will rise to help Batman and his allies save the broken city from certain doom.

The DCEU

I truly enjoyed Zack Snyder's vision of the DCEU and I wish it would have remained intact. This is my casting choice for an expanded DCEU based on that universe. Films that are cannon in this universe include Man of Steel, Dawn of Justice, Suicide Squad, ZS's Justice League, Aquaman, The Suicide Squad and Peacemaker. I'm excluding the Birds of Prey film mainly because of what it done to Cassandra Cain's character, and the unnecessary race bending of Black Canary. I will also be staying true to the comics in regards to which Robin the suit in BvS belonged to.

Pet Sematary

This 22 episode one off series is faithful adaptation of Stephen King's 1983 novel.

A Nightmare On Elm Street

Taking the "Rob Zombie's Halloween" approach, the first half of the film would be a prequel, and the latter half of the film would a re-imagining of Wes Craven's original story...

Shadow of The Bat

Loosely inspired by such stories as The Dark Knight Returns, Kingdom Come, and DC Future State, this grim and gritty R-Rated series centers around Bruce Wayne and his extended family 32 years after he first took up the mantle of "The Batman". The series would also feature a pantheon of heroes and villains from across the DC Universe.
