Hey everyone... SO I just got the new project at school.. turns out we are making a video thing.. can be a commercial.. spoof.. movie trailer.. ANYTHING... if you can get people to dress in drag and do the hula.. GO for it.. Sooo.. I have a kinda outline for a movie trailer NO idea what to call the movie yet.. but here goes.. 3 friends... 2 girls 1 guy... Girl #1 mysteriously inherits big old spooky house.. they go check out house.. SURPRISE it&#39;s haunted.. they check into the dead guy who left the house.. then go get a ouija board and take it to his grave at night to contact him.. and they wind up summoning something ELSE... Something BIG.... BUT can they put it back???? &#40;cut to leave them hanging...&#41; ANYHOW... cheezy I know, but it has potential... &#40; I AM only a starving student ya know LOL&#41; any suggestions, comments etc as to how to &#34;jazz it up&#34; Title for the movie... ANYTHING... filming starts in March so I have time.. I am handing in my outline this coming week so anything anyone can contribute would be a great help... I am running an 88% average and I would like to have that up to 90% before I graduate in May this project will also be going into my portfolio that I would be giving potential employers... so I need it to look HOT!! Thanx for your help in advance Starr

Sounds like a great idea and a bit like a reality TV show I auditioned for last month called &#34;Haunted House&#34; &#91;I didn&#39;t get the &#34;call back&#34;!&#93; I suppose you can&#39;t use a title that&#39;s been used before? There&#39;s a flick out now called &#34;Long time dead&#34; about a group of students who use an Ouija board after a party and er... bring something back!

Actually because it is a school project for &#34;educational purposes&#34; I can use a title that has been used.. ALTHOUGH I would like to have a Unique name... LOL my sister suggested &#34;Inherant Evil&#34; but I think that has been done too... HUGZ on the call back... it is THEIR loss...

Hi Starr Not sure I wanted to spend a weekend in a creepy old house with 27 strangers anyway <IMG SRC="http://www.electric-ent.com/bbs/clipart/happy.gif" ALT=":&#41;"> Does the project focus more on the house than the ouija board or vice versa? How about something like &#34;Deadly Inheritance&#34; or &#34;Grave Secrets&#34;?

The project is more an overall.. the house is what makes them get the board.. and the board drags up something from the depths of &#34;Where ever&#34; that has been unleashed... keeping in mind this is JUST a trailer so I can leave LOTS of pieces hanging... I got the general overview approved... so it&#39;s MINE!! As for a title.. I like them both... &#40; added them to my book&#41; so I will have to see how the whole layout developes before I decide on a title... then again you might &#40; or someone else&#41; think up something Totally different and all good... Thanx for your help.. Starr 27 ppl in a haunted house... NOT my idea of fun<IMG SRC="http://www.electric-ent.com/bbs/clipart/happy.gif" ALT=":&#41;"> well......

Sounds fun! Maybe we can have some of our talented writers here hammer out an entire script! Those kinds of films have always been my fave. Legend of Hell House Haunting of Hill House House on Haunted Hill House Have them play with the ouija board in the house though not at the grave. That way, what comes through takes over the house. Netherworld Nightmare. It&#39;s so big it begins to distort reality. Bringing ITS reality into ours... dun dun DUUUUUUUU Attack of the 50 Foot Banshee Army of Darkness oops that&#39;s been done. The House that Breathed oops I think that&#39;s been done too.

Good luck on your project Starr..put a little humor into it also. a lil humor for F13: An Irishman walks into a bar in Dublin, orders three pints of Guinness and sits in the back of the room, drinking a sip out of each one in turn. When he finishes them, he comes back to the bar and orders three more. The bartender approaches and tells him, &#34;You know, a pint goes flat after I draw it. It would taste better if you bought one at a time.&#34; The Irishman replies, &#34;Well, you see, I have two brothers. One is in America, the other in Australia, and I&#39;m here in Dublin. When we all left home, we promised that we&#39;d drink this way to remember the days when we drank together. So I drinks one for each o&#39; me brothers and one for me self. The bartender admits that this is a nice custom, and leaves it there. The Irishman becomes a regular in the bar, and always drinks the same way: He orders three pints and drinks them in turn. One day, he comes in and orders two pints. All the other regulars take notice and fall silent. When he comes back to the bar for the second round, the bartender says, &#34;I don&#39;t want to intrude on your grief, but I wanted to offer my condolences on your great loss.&#34; The Irishman looks quite puzzled for a moment, then a light dawns in his eye and he laughs. &#34;Oh, no, everybody&#39;s just fine,&#34; He explains, &#34;It&#39;s just that me wife had us join that Baptist Church and I had to quit drinking. Hasn&#39;t affected me brothers a bit though.&#34; ===== Be still and know. Bwahahaha..my belly hurts!

Oh Starr, you could put in there when they start using the board like begin it as a joke..utilize candles and have 2 playing a joke on the other..with ropes and pulleys in the trees or rafters or whatever attached to a sheet like a ghost and at an opportune moment have one of the two pull the rope with sheet attachment to scare the daylights out of the other unsuspecting person .....as.....to borrow goosies dun dun duhhn...whatever they&#39;ve summoned is watching the whole scenario.

Sher, I almost suggested &#34;Two legged Freaks&#34; &#42;duck&#42; LOL @ Will. Thanks for the joke, it brightened up a dull Tuesday morn! I was also going to suggest the same as Goose about conducting the ouija session in the house, unless the grave was out in the back garden! It would also cut on location. Unless, one of the characters got possessed by the entity at the graveyard unbeknownst to the others and unleashed it&#39;s fury back at the house.
