I think they got the idea for this movie using this webpage:

They really did! "Halloween parade" is there too.
"Tell me, do you bleed? You will."
Actually, this is based off the short story by Tim Lebbon of the same name.
It can be found in October Dreams: A Celebration of Halloween from Cemetery Dance publishers.
That plot generator didn't half tickle me. Especially these 2 beauties:
-Nicolas Cage plays a veteran of eight world wars whose infant daughter, who happens to be the spawn of Satan, gets kidnapped at a kidnapper's convention and nobody cares.
-Nicolas Cage plays a substitute teacher whose granddaugter gets kidnapped at fat camp and Cage's only hope is to let time run out before time runs out.
Edit: I can't stop pressing it...
-Nicolas Cage plays a James Brown backup singer whose daughter-in-law gets kidnapped at a Ku Klux Klan rally and Cage kills himself in order to come back as a ghost and properly settle the score.
Funny stuff! I like this one:
Nicolas Cage plays a ghetto prince whose mute second cousin gets kidnapped at a rave and is brainwashed by Tom Cruise.
lol the generator is better time spent than this -B movie, this made me laugh
Nicolas Cage plays a homosexual dolphin whose cocker spaniel gets kidnapped during the demolition of the Statue of Liberty and is sent back in time to stop Hitler from committing suicide.share
I was playing with the random plot generator some more and it came up with the best plot yet...
Nicolas Cage plays a retired September 11th hijacker whose niece gets kidnapped at a UFC match and Cage gets his old crew back together to settle the score--him, his two fists, and a fifth of vodka.
"NC plays a Jamaican bobsledding champion who's hairpiece gets kidnapped at a Cincinnati Bengals game..."
I'm dead!
This is too funny! Lol
shareNicolas Cage plays an inept human resources director whose deaf mistress gets kidnapped by the God Zeus and Cage reads aloud from Ice By Ice, the autobiography of Vanilla Ice, for the remainder of the movie.
Nicolas Cage plays a black man whose imaginary friend gets kidnapped by a pack of resentful saber tooth tigers and Cage releases a sex tape to draw the villain out of hiding.
That last one is priceless. How dare they kidnapp Nic Cage's imaginary friend. lol
shareThis is one to end them all:
Nicolas Cage plays a midget whose step-sister gets kidnapped at Knott's Berry Farm and Cage's only chance at dishing out hot, steamy justice is to win a boxing match… with himself.
