If you could write an idea for one of the 8mm home videos in Sinister...

😨 what's the creepiest one you could think of? If I was allowed to come up with an idea for one of the home videos of the murders in Sinister, I'd do "Spring Cleaning", and have a child possessed by Buguul mix household chemicals together (ammonia and bleach), and leave their family in the house with all the doors and windows locked or something, that'd be really freaky. Or "4th of July" - a family has a 4th of July party, and the same night they're killed by fireworks. Can anyone else come up with any better ideas?

UPDATE: SOME MORE IDEAS OF MINE:

-Canada Day (or 4th of July depending on where you live): A child loops the belt loops of their family members' pants to the hooks of a flagpole, hoists them up to the top, and then lets go so that they rapidly fall several feet down.

-New Family Pet: A family buys a large dog as the new family pet. Later on a child locks their family in a root cellar in their house and, out of starvation, the dog eventually eats them.

-Darkroom: A family is developing vacation photographs in a homemade darkroom. Later on a child drowns them in fixer, bleach and stop baths.

-School talent show: parents audition their children for the local school talent show. That night, the children tie up their parents on-stage and leave the stage lighting on until it catches fire, burning down the whole building.

-Whale watching: a family rents a boat for a day to go whale watching on (no idea if it's popular in the States but it's a very popular summer activity here in the Atlantic provinces). That night, a child ties each family member to a buoy in the stormy weather, and the choppy waves kill them slowly. The child films them from the safety of the boat.

-Bring Your Kids to Work Day: a guy who works at a chemical plant brings his kids along with him for job shadowing - at night - and the next morning his dead body is found corroded partially, floating in a chemical vat. Both his kids are missing.

This is not original but maybe a Thanksgiving in which the "turkey" is a stuffed human body. Implied cannibalism too.

that'd be pretty disturbing in a movie, it's a great idea for a horror film 😨

"This is not original but maybe a Thanksgiving in which the "turkey" is a stuffed human body. Implied cannibalism too."

Yeah that idea was shown in Q. Tarrintino/Rodriguez films Grindhouse. In between the double features of Planet Terror and Death Proof they showed previews of films to never come to theater (except Machete. One of the movie previews was called Thanksgiving where a killer was killing people on that holiday. While the family was about to eat dinner they lift the lid from the platter where there was supposed to have been a Turkey but it was a dead human insead who had been coooked and stuffed like a turkey.

So yeah that would be cool. And it doesn't matter if it's origianl or not. Hey the rats idea wasn't original and they used it. That idea was used in the second Fast and Furious films where the bad guy did it to the dirty cop that was on his payroll. The only difference is that he didn't let the rat kill the man, he just gave him a taste of what that would feel like.

Never argue with an idiot; people passing by might not be able to tell the difference.

Since it's a supernatural film, I'll go for a supernatural kill. The film starts with it's ominous creepy music and one of the kids walking around dragging a machete on the ground. She turns a corner to find her family all binded to chairs with their eyes sewn shut. She then levitates the family off the ground toward the ceiling and rotates them so they're facing the ground. Then, one by one, she slits their throats or slashes their bodies with the machete and creepily dances as their blood pours all over her. Could be cheesy if done wrong. Done right though, the child dancing in her families gushing blood to the right creepy music could be incredibly chilling in my opinion. Whatta ya think?

Call it blood bath. Blood rain. Baptized in blood. Or maybe somethin like dark rain to keep the viewer from knowing what they're about to see.

[–] tenebroussuspire 10 years ago

"Baptism" - Film starts with family at church, singing with congregation. Cuts to each member crucified with signs of torture. Acidic "holy water" is poured over their heads by the possessed child. Music could be similar to Pool Party '66.

That took me five minutes. ;p

[–] gasmaskproductionsbooks 10 years ago

That could be pretty creepy, the holy water idea would be great in one of the movies. :D

About the crucifixtion idea...

The main "kill film" in Sinister 2 revolves around the Lutheran Church where Courtney and her twin boys are hiding out from big bad cowboy dad Clint. The pastor's family were murdered in the church. They have one of the more disturbing deaths that involves crucifixtion to the church floor, hot coals, and rats. LOTS OF RATS!

[–] gasmaskproductionsbooks 10 years ago

Rats? Wow, the next Sinister seems to be going much further than the first one in terms of creepy scenes :D

"Barbeque" In the backyard where a family is having a party, they make a bonfire...and later that night they are all impaled on a spit roasting over it.

"You may think that...I couldn't possibly comment."

[–] theCurlyone 10 years ago

Simple poisoning.
Christmas movie, having a family toast and everyone begins to cough... Then they begin to cough blood and the child just giggles and giggles.

I think it's a joke

[–] BlackDog123 10 years ago

I actually really like your idea - we have to remember that a child is the one committing the murders (even if they are possessed), so it has to be something a child could do. The thought of your family innocently drinking some eggnog or sparkling cider, then going into horrible convulsions and drooling/bleeding out is horrifying!

They're coming to get you, Barbara!

"somebody used to live here"

[–] DavidTL 10 years ago

A large family go on a camping trip only to be discovered weeks later all dead.
Some hanging on trees. Others impaled on a tree branch. Others punctured with sticks. Twigs forced into their mouth and ears. Rocks used to smash their faces open. Skin and blood smeared on the moss. A head severed horribly and slowly by a sturdy small branch used to prod and pierce the skin over and over again. Leaves stuffed inside of the stump. People's feet cut off and all lined up with the shoes still on the feet on display. Socks taken off though and covers the bloody stumps.

How's that?

"Beach Party" A family are seen relaxing on a beach, picnic and swimming in the sea, the whole schmier. Camera then cuts to them drugged and immobile on the beach hidden behind a dune late evening when everyone else has gone, just as the tide rolls in and they all drown. Not the most original but only thought about it for five minutes

[–] nikki_roddy 10 years ago

Good idea, I like it.

[–] gasmaskproductionsbooks 10 years ago

Beach Party, that's one of my favorites so far - so simple yet so frightening. 😟

A video where a baby is being delivered, only for the newborn to become possessed before it enters our world and it tears its way out of its mother's stomach and grows to an adult human with demonic powers at an unnaturally fast rate as it slaughters everyone in the room and feeds on their life forces before it escapes, leaving the room in ruins with the doctors and its hapless parents spread across the walls, ceiling, and floor.

Oh, and of course, the camera would be strategically knocked over so that we can still see the demon exit through the doors. Also, it'll be cracked so that the picture is slightly distorted, and the sound is a little messed up, but we'll still be able to hear the screams of the demon's next victims in the halls.

Okay, well, not a home video, but in these movies, would you really dismiss the idea of some douche getting the birth of his child onto a camcorder without anyone objecting?

Maybe something different not so much Baghuul causing kids to murder but maybe a video where the kids are home alone and the 8mm camera turns on and Baghuul is playing ring around the roses with a few kids and all of their eyes are pitch black. And when they start saying ashes ashes the living room begins to catch on fire and when they say we all fall down they all drop to the ground as the entire room is engulfed in flames as Baghuul stares into the camera. End scene.

Ha! Nice!

I thought of "Road Trip", well, it starts when a video shows a RV driven along the highway, in the RV there is the big brother and the mother playing chess, while two big sisters are watching TV while the father is driving. The film switches to a scene when the father and the mother was lying down in front of the RV about 1 mile ahead. A big sister was tied under the RV while the another big sister and big brother was tied behind the RV. The RV starts to drive itself and thus pulling along the big brother and the big sister. Driving along the highway the mother and the father are crashed by the RV in an instant and the big brother and the big sister behind the RV are screaming of pain due to sliding along the highway. The friction starts to injure them severely. A moment later, the body of the big sister falls off the RV. Her face was scraped off including her entrails are visible. The RV is still driving along the RV more faster and the big brother behind the RV lost one of his legs. The scene cuts off.
