But rather than call the cops, he panics and tries to hide the bodies before his family returns.
I can see it taking a Carrie route, where she kills her abusive family.
And some of the stuff the principal was doing was really dark.
Jakob Owens
Like the girl is mentally ill and the characters inside her head are insane too.
But rather than call the cops, he panics and tries to hide the bodies before his family returns.
The movie ends with him running away in the cold, where he dies.
Yeah, thats a disturbing downer but its a horror movie for sure.
He runs away and meets his great-grandfather, and agrees to die to stay with him forever.
However, after discovering the truth, hes now stuck in the afterlife.
Eventually, only his mother is left, and shes now desperate and insane.
6.Liar Liar.General premise would stay the same with him trying to prove hes a good dad.
9.Youve Got Mailor any of those sappy 90s movies.
I always thought the movie couldve worked so well as an existential horror.
Chris Pratts character wakes up, struggles for months over his isolation.
Finally is driven to the point of waking another passenger up, thereby dooming them to the same fate.
Everything up until this point pretty much the same as the movie.
Teen girl has to escape an obsessive 100 year old vampire.
12.Ghostbusters: The ghost are all demonic and possess people and force them to do unspeakable acts.
The Ghostbusters are scientists and priests working together to perform exorcisms.

It is Christmas time, and she is dressed like an elf.
After the mall closes, he follows her to the locker room where he hears her singing Christmas songs.

Even if they arent his family at all.
He keeps calling them dad and mom.
They fear for the safety of their actual son, as the man is clearly not sane.
To keep him safe, they follow Buddys every word.
The husband is horrified when the Elf-man gives him lingerie.
What sort of sick pervert has inserted himself into their lives?
What does he want from them?
Holding the family hostage in their own home, Buddy forces the family to put up a Christmas tree.
He eats so much sugar that he doesnt have to sleep.
They then call the police; and a manhunt begins for Buddy the dangerous escaped mental patient.
At the mall, the store girl notices that the same odd man from the day before has returned.
He is fixated on her.
Staring hard, barely blinking.
She is uncomfortable and the man puts her on edge.
Something isnt right about him.
Quietly, she alerts a manager to contact security.
They see buddy and ping the actual police department.
The police arrive, and a chase ensues.
Buddy steals a red car from the parking lot.
To him it looks like a sleigh.Insert Dramatic Police Chase.
The chase ends with Buddy being surrounded by cops on all sides.

Buddy calls him Santa.
Its time to go back to the North Pole, okay?

The North Pole is safe and comfortable and he is happy here.
Im happy here, so what do I need to take these pills for?

Time to go spread some Christmas cheer.
Basically keep the same plot except they slowly find out that one of the group was behind it.
Or Ken Jeongs character.
They slowly start to have the gaps filled in.
Feels like you could get pretty twisted with it.
Basically like him chasing down a bunch of innocent crew members of like an abandoned cargo ship or something.
Maybe he toys with them knowing how weak they are and is something similar toAlienas well.
19.The Little Mermaid.Mermaids are already supposed to be dangerous creatures.
The story was originally supposed to be dark.
Ariels obsession with Prince Eric, and the royal family feud are begging for a horror depiction.
In a slowly-unfolding, psychological horror.
I think it would do well in the hands of the right people.
21.Waynes World.The real movie plays.
24.Truman Show.People inexplicably go missing in Trumans neighborhood.

Or, could the truth be even darker?
