CUSTOM

Young man has a series of three dreams during which he is brutally killed by a masked killer (like a Jason in Friday the 13th or a Michael Myers in Halloween) and then wakes up in horror after each dream death. Masked killer and young man are the main characters; there may be a few supporting characters as needed for each dream. Here are the three dreams:

(1). Man is cuffed spread eagled to bed frame at ankles and wrists. He’s nude and thinks it’s for some fun with a girl he picked up at a bar earlier. But the killer torments him (with a sharp hunting knife) and then kills him by repeatedly stabbing him with that knife.

(2). Man is running in the woods wearing just shorts and running shoes. He’s nice and sweaty since it has been a good work out. He flexes his muscles and smiles cockily. He takes a selfie of himself flexing. He continues his run, thinks he hears something and thinks he sees something. He backs up against a tree and the masked killer wraps a leather strap around the man’s eyes and slowly and cruelly crushes his head.

(3). Man is sunbathing nude in nature. He looks at his phone, and it’s June 21 (the summer solstice). Then he’s knocked out by the masked killer who nails him to the cross and watches him die.

After waking up after the third dream, the man garroted by the masked killer using a metal wire.

All these scenes should be much longer, more violent / intense and bloodier than what we would see in a commercial horror movie. The young man should be screaming a lot in pain/ horror as he’s killed; his body should also be struggling a lot during the death scenes.

Introduction: Shot of the young man sleeping in his bed. He tosses and turns some. His window is open and the curtains move in the breeze.

Cut to first dream.

Dream 1: (based on a scene in Basic Instinct): Young man enters his apartment with young woman he has picked up at a bar. They flirt, kiss and remove the clothes from each other. Woman takes four handcuffs out of her purse and nods her head in the direction of the bedroom. He agrees, thinking he will be the one handcuffing her. But she reverses the roles and handcuffs him nude by his wrists and ankles to the bed frame. She blindfolds his face with an eye mask; promises that he’ll have the best night of his life and goes to use the bathroom, where she is killed offscreen by masked man.

Masked man approaches blindfolded young man who thinks it is the woman approaching. He flirts thinking it’s her. Masked man takes hunting knife and rubs the smooth cool blade against the young man’s limbs and torso; young man thinks it’s foreplay.

Then the masked man takes the tip of the knife and nicks the cheek of the young man, who yells in protest. Masked man removes the eye mask from the young man who realizes now that something has gone seriously wrong with his date. His eyes are open in anger; he struggles against his bonds and he yells at the masked man to let him go.

The masked man slowly makes long shallow cuts along the pecs, abs, arms and legs of the young man. He screams in horror, and he struggles in vain to get loose with his muscles flexing as he struggles. He looks in horror at the masked man and down to his own desecrated body.

The masked man then takes the hunting knife and plunges it repeatedly in the pecs, abs, and muscles of the young man. His body bucks back and forth in pain. Blood flows from the wounds, spurts from his mouth and drips from his nostrils. Young man is screaming in horror. Should be some different angles, close ups.

Masked man looks down at victim who is growing weaker and and dying and asking why he did this. Masked man is silent. Victim’s body and limbs tremble and twitch. He dies with a horrified death stare open eyed. Camera pans along the length of his entire body.


Young man wakes up screaming from dream and checks his torso and limbs for wounds, but there are none. A bit disturbed, he goes back to sleep unaware that masked man is in or outside the building. We see the masked man from our POV watching the young man and holding a leather strap in his hands.


Dream 2: (inspired by a scene from Friday the 13th Part 5): Man is running in the woods wearing just shorts and running shoes. He’s really sweaty since it has been a good work out. He stops and flexes his muscles and smiles cockily. He looks great and he knows it. He takes a selfie of himself flexing and admires his own photo. He doesn’t notice the masked man with a leather strap watching him from behind a tree.

He continues his run, thinks he hears something. He looks around, but the masked man is hidden behind a tree. He runs a bit and thinks he sees something - maybe a glimpse of the silhouette of the masked man in the forest. The cry of the hawk startles him and he backs up against a tree. He smiles, realizing it was just a hawk. That’s when the masked man flings a leather belt from behind the tree around the man’s head covering his eyes and slowly, cruelly crushes his head.

Man is surprised and cries out holding the strap screaming.

Several shots of the man struggling and screaming horribly as his skull is slowly crushed.

We should have close ups of the head and shots of man above the waist, as well as shots showing his entire struggling body and struggling arms/legs.

Blood should flow from nostrils and maybe his mouth, as well as from where the strap is crushing his eyes. As the crushing proceeds, the blood should drip down on his torso, legs and drip on the ground.

Towards end of death scene, young man’s body is trembling as he dies standing upright with his head crushed against the tree trunk. Then his body goes limp.

Masked man uses the young man’s phone to take a picture of the victim.

Masked man posts two pictures on an anonymous Internet forum: the young man’s posing selfie and the picture of him dead.


Young man wakes up screaming from the dream and touches his head and looks at his hands expecting to see blood. But he is all in one piece and fine. He is disturbed, but lies down and falls asleep. We see masked man holding mallet and heavy spikes watching the young man, who is unaware of his presence.




Dream 3 (sacrificed on the summer solstice by being crucified):

Young man is sunbathing nude. He looks at his phone and it’s June 21 (the summer solstice). Masked man knocks young man out.

Young man awakes. He is on a cross with his arms tied to it and his legs as well.

Masked man uses mallet to drive spikes through the young man’s wrists and the sides of his ankles. (Ankles should be nailed to side of cross, not the it’s front.). Young man screams and his body arches in pain each time as he’s nailed. Blood flows from each wound. Some shots of his screaming face as well.

Next shot is of upright cross with young man nailed to it. His body is shiny with sweat and blood drips from wrist to ground and along his triceps. Blood flows from ankles wounds down cross to ground.

Young man is having trouble breathing, so he pulls himself up by his arms to lift himself up to get some breaths. He screams in pain as he does so, gulps some deep breaths and then collapses so his weight is held up only by the spikes.

Young man’s body hangs limply on cross. Sweat drips off his nose, chin, bottom of his triceps and from his hair. His entire body is shiny with sweat. His eyes are open in pain and suffering. His body trembles.

Then his eyes go blank in a death stare.

Last shot is masked man looking at full body shot of the crucified victim.

Young man wakes up screaming and looks at his wrists, but he is unharmed. He is disturbed by all this since the dreams have seemed so realistic.

Finale:

Young man goes to his bathroom, washes his face in front of a mirror. He stands up and sees masked man standing behind him in the mirror. Masked man then wraps thin wire around young man’s throat and garrotes him as he watches himself in the mirror being killed.

Wire cuts into young man’s throat; he struggles vigorously trying release himself. Blood flows from wound and mouth / nostrils.

Young man’s body trembles as he dies; his body goes limp with eyes open in a stare.

Masked man lets the limp body of the young man drop to the floor. Masked man walks out of the apartment.
