So me and a couple of buddies are about to work on a slenderman movie.
We have a lot of good ideas, anyone interested in helping out?
Opinions, yeah, not so much fuck is given, I just want some more ideas of scenes from you guys. The good ones may get put in.
Thanks.

Holding a door shut and tendrils/tentacles coming through the keyhole and the cracks. A window become completely blacked out from being covered by the tentacles. A room with a ton of monitors playing scenes from various Slenderman series. The Operator symbol constantly referenced in background and scenery elements like a subliminal message.

Alright, I was thinking at first maybe it would be a first person kind of thing, but seeing all of the stuff on youtube and my friend talking to me, I think I may just make it like a LEGIT horror movie to scare people shitless.
And sounds pretty good. I want to make it unique among the other movies.

Subtlety is the most terrifying aspect of horror. Keep that in mind and you're golden.
>> Anonymous 11/08/10(Mon)17:38 No.6162321
Yep,
the way I think, is people are afraid of what they don't know about.
People are induced fear by lack of knowing and simply fear itself.
I would give out all of my thought up plans, but I want to keep it kind of secret for now.
It's going to be a full-length movie, so yeah.

I once had a dream that the world was infected with slenderman-like beings, except that they were called 'butlers'. The butlers were rushing into our neighborhood, trying to break into our house.
I wonder if that could serve as an idea..?

Nah, mass hysteria kind of ruins the whole creepy effect.
Short glimpses and stuff are more opt to scare people.

Yea it should be isolated incidents. Start with a series of unrelated events which freaks out one particular character who constantly warns the protagonist and such, but I reckon a twist must be present. Maybe that the protagonist promised all his freinds to the Slendy if he would be left alone? I mean that would be AMSOME! Comon like a hero who acts all freaked and shit, but sells his own freinds for his safety...slendy must be that terryfying and also hidden in the shadows...

Ah.. I see. The idea that the slenderman could be anywhere, or 'all-knowing', should be put in the character's heads. However, they do know that the slenderman has some weaknesses, right?
Maybe the reason why he abducts children has something to do with his history. You should go deeper into the plot and try to figure out his role too.

Focus on children. Give it a nursery rhyme/brother's grim kinda feel to it.
Like, originally he was said to only steal kids and stuff. Work with that, but don't get too cliche about it. You can go overboard with the whole innocent kids/horror contrast in a movie, to the point where people are sick of it. (i.e. Alma from F.E.A.R. and Alessa from Silent Hill)
Also make sure the acting isn't utter shit.

I agree with that. Some of the older children should be given some depth in personality too, and eventually their character will be mentally unstable. However, the kids could also be used for minor comic relief.

Have a good climax, a feeling of adrenaline and danger in the final scenes, that always makes a good movie, if you do it right. Music is very important too

Haha, you guys don't have to worry about us making some shitty kind of thing like those idiot 12 year olds on youtube. Here are some qualities that can assure we won't bullshit this.
1. We are imaginative
2. Us being /x/ people, we KNOW fear.
3. I know my way around a persons sanity and fear
4. We are all pretty good with audio and video editing.
Don't worry about it.
Anticipation and nail-biters are always pretty good, but I want something that will keep people on the edge of their feet, ready to make a brake for the door.
>> Anonymous 11/08/10(Mon)18:12 No.6162611
And not so sure.
I will try to get it in within a few months.

If anyone is good with video effects, it would be a bit helpful.

Perfect. In way of that, make the oldest being near 14 or 15, youngest 10. They shouldn't be obnoxious, victim fodder characters either. Make each one of them interesting. They don't all have to be likeable, but make them so that you actually care about what happens to them, whether it's good or bad.
I suggest using like, two brothers and a couple friends. Maybe make them twins, or at least pretty close age wise so there's no annoying little brother/older brother rivalry thing that shows up a lot in shitty movies.

Don't make Slenderman into something with a backstory or whose motives you can understand. He should be unpredictable and inexplicable, like a force of nature. Get a good soundtrack. This is really important. Some nice subtle music can do more towards setting the tone than any visual cues ever could. Again, don't feel like you need to explain who he is or why this is happening. The fact that he's a creepy guy is more than enough to get people going.
Have some sequences shot in the daytime, if your effects can stand up to it. There's something about seeing a monster appear during the "safe" time that is really horrifying.
>> whatatroy !!jtTqSsN+V0O 11/08/10(Mon)19:04 No.6163133
Well, a few words of advice:
1) Make it in a world where EverymanHYBRID, Marble Hornets, Tribe Twelve etc doesn't exist. You'll end up having your characters rely too heavily on them if you do, even if you don't realize it.
2) Have some scenes where Slender Man actually physically attacks somebody. Sure, in MH Alex had some blood on him and in everymanHYBRID Evan got his shit fucked up a a little, but I'm talking organs everywhere and people impaled on trees.
3) No Operator symbols. Seriously, that shit was from MH and now it's been seriously overdone.
>> Anonymous 11/08/10(Mon)19:09 No.6163183
Slendy should absolutely not be "captured" or "defeated" in the end, that just destroys the fear.
Make the characters draw sketches of him but show the real thing as little as possible.
Nursery rhymes and musicboxes (dunno the correct term, those creepy ass boxes which play simple melodies).
And we need someone going insane because he's seeing Slendy, but in the end he won't get taken.
>> Anonymous 11/08/10(Mon)19:11 No.6163201
Yeah, I kinda figured.
I want there to be somewhat of a history, like knowledge the character can look into. But it won't have to much. Just some findings.
And I guess what I CAN give you is the "After movie text" So you can see what direction I am going.
"After a couple of weeks, the police were asked to investigate a missing family, when they checked the house they found a camera with footage of some weird activity, along with blood stained floors all over the house. The bodies of the mother and the baby were not found, but the 16 year old son was found lying in the kitchen with no organs. The cause of the death and disappearances were never found."
>> Anonymous 11/08/10(Mon)19:13 No.6163225
I would NEVER make it so that slendy was captured, that defeats the purpose of a horror movie.
I think slendy should be shown in moderation to induce more fear on the characters, leaving the audience more thrilled.
We have a lot of good ideas, anyone interested in helping out?
Opinions, yeah, not so much fuck is given, I just want some more ideas of scenes from you guys. The good ones may get put in.

Perfect. In way of that, make the oldest being near 14 or 15, youngest 10. They shouldn't be obnoxious, victim fodder characters either. Make each one of them interesting. They don't all have to be likeable, but make them so that you actually care about what happens to them, whether it's good or bad.
I suggest using like, two brothers and a couple friends. Maybe make them twins, or at least pretty close age wise so there's no annoying little brother/older brother rivalry thing that shows up a lot in shitty movies.

Don't make Slenderman into something with a backstory or whose motives you can understand. He should be unpredictable and inexplicable, like a force of nature. Get a good soundtrack. This is really important. Some nice subtle music can do more towards setting the tone than any visual cues ever could. Again, don't feel like you need to explain who he is or why this is happening. The fact that he's a creepy guy is more than enough to get people going.
Have some sequences shot in the daytime, if your effects can stand up to it. There's something about seeing a monster appear during the "safe" time that is really horrifying.
>> whatatroy !!jtTqSsN+V0O 11/08/10(Mon)19:04 No.6163133
Well, a few words of advice:
1) Make it in a world where EverymanHYBRID, Marble Hornets, Tribe Twelve etc doesn't exist. You'll end up having your characters rely too heavily on them if you do, even if you don't realize it.
2) Have some scenes where Slender Man actually physically attacks somebody. Sure, in MH Alex had some blood on him and in everymanHYBRID Evan got his shit fucked up a a little, but I'm talking organs everywhere and people impaled on trees.
3) No Operator symbols. Seriously, that shit was from MH and now it's been seriously overdone.
>> Anonymous 11/08/10(Mon)19:09 No.6163183
Slendy should absolutely not be "captured" or "defeated" in the end, that just destroys the fear.
Make the characters draw sketches of him but show the real thing as little as possible.
Nursery rhymes and musicboxes (dunno the correct term, those creepy ass boxes which play simple melodies).
And we need someone going insane because he's seeing Slendy, but in the end he won't get taken.
>> Anonymous 11/08/10(Mon)19:11 No.6163201
Yeah, I kinda figured.
I want there to be somewhat of a history, like knowledge the character can look into. But it won't have to much. Just some findings.
And I guess what I CAN give you is the "After movie text" So you can see what direction I am going.
"After a couple of weeks, the police were asked to investigate a missing family, when they checked the house they found a camera with footage of some weird activity, along with blood stained floors all over the house. The bodies of the mother and the baby were not found, but the 16 year old son was found lying in the kitchen with no organs. The cause of the death and disappearances were never found."
>> Anonymous 11/08/10(Mon)19:13 No.6163225
I would NEVER make it so that slendy was captured, that defeats the purpose of a horror movie.
I think slendy should be shown in moderation to induce more fear on the characters, leaving the audience more thrilled.

No, no, no.
What you should do is simply have a scene where some characters are talking in their house at night. They can be discussing anything, it doesn't matter. And then as they talk, there's a window in the background. Have Slenderman peek in through the window and have him remain there for a good minute or two, but never have the camera focus directly on him and don't have the characters notice he's there at all. Then just have him leave unnoticed. Think of that one scene from the Strangers where the burlap sack guy walks into the background and stays there for a whole minute before disappearing, but a little less noticeable.

Good, but in my opinion you're gonna have to have more scare tactics then him just subtly showing up in reflections.
As much as we all hate them, you're gonna have to have some pop up moments to scare a certain audience, as well as mindfuck scares for another audience.
Also, the pop ups shouldn't be predictable like in most movies, where they have music getting louder and louder so you kind of expect it. Make it sudden, so it scares the shit out of people not predicting it.

For Slenderman, I think maybe you should try to find a tall, slim figured actor and then maybe get a decent suit and something for the face since you're on a low budget. Not really sure how that would turn out though.

Tall actor, good suit, put something in shoes to make him a little taller.
You can get rid of the face by putting light, pale cloth over his head and then editing out what's left with simple software editing.
Alternatively, stilts. Expensive to buy, but relatively cheap to make.
Or, you could make a Slendy yourself. Pic related.

Just be really careful with how much you show Slenderman, I think you should seriously cut the popup/slendy unnoticed in the background moments to minimum and focus on mindfucking people with the feeling of unseen terror. That way you don't need to worry about the actor so much either, since he will only be showing in crucial moments.
And I support the slithering through keyhole and around the door idea.

HERE ARE 3 TRAILERS ME AND MY BROTHER HAVE COME UP WITH WHICH WE THOUGHT WOULD BE FUCKING AWESOME FOR A SLENDER MAN MOVIE:
1. A small girl is playing in a sandbox but suddenly shit gets foggy. The camera pans around her as she looks up to see a vague shadow of a very tall man in the fog. She then, without saying a word, gets up and walks into it. As she disappears into the mist, the camera cuts out.
2. A guy is in a shitty apartment scrawling on a desk. The light above him begins to frantically flicker and on one of the flickers a tall shadow is seen cast across the wall behind him before the light finally blows.
3. A kid is seen in his room, at his computer, chatting on an instant messenger. You see him just finishing up what is obviously a Slender Man story saying "And they say that the bodies were split open, and some of them were never found at all..." and then whoever he's chatting with responds with "Dude, don't talk about that kind of stuff" and the kid replies saying "Why? It's bullshit anyways lol" and in the reflection of the computer screen you can see Slender Man's head peek in through the slightly opened door behind the kid.
Opinions?

Basically, the main character begins to see and experience weird things. So he begins doing research and trying to found out what is going on. The more he researches, the more he mentally breaks down, realizing that slenderman could very well be stalking him.
He tries to document some of the weird things he is finding and some of the stuff that is happening.
So it's a battle of self struggle and fear.
But, I also want to put in some stuff involving police investigation and missing people.

Yea it should be isolated incidents.

Maybe that the protagonist promised all his freinds to the Slendy if he would be left alone? I mean that would be AMSOME! Comon like a hero who acts all freaked and shit, but sells his own freinds for his safety...slendy must be that terryfying and also hidden in the shadows...

Have a good climax, a feeling of adrenaline and danger in the final scenes, that always makes a good movie, if you do it right. Music is very important too

Haha, you guys don't have to worry about us making some shitty kind of thing like those idiot 12 year olds on youtube. Here are some qualities that can assure we won't bullshit this.
1. We are imaginative
2. Us being /x/ people, we KNOW fear.
3. I know my way around a persons sanity and fear
4. We are all pretty good with audio and video editing.
Don't worry about it.
Anticipation and nail-biters are always pretty good, but I want something that will keep people on the edge of their feet, ready to make a brake for the door.

Perfect. In way of that, make the oldest being near 14 or 15, youngest 10. They shouldn't be obnoxious, victim fodder characters either. Make each one of them interesting. They don't all have to be likeable, but make them so that you actually care about what happens to them, whether it's good or bad.
I suggest using like, two brothers and a couple friends. Maybe make them twins, or at least pretty close age wise so there's no annoying little brother/older brother rivalry thing that shows up a lot in shitty movies.

Don't make Slenderman into something with a backstory or whose motives you can understand. He should be unpredictable and inexplicable, like a force of nature. Get a good soundtrack. This is really important. Some nice subtle music can do more towards setting the tone than any visual cues ever could. Again, don't feel like you need to explain who he is or why this is happening. The fact that he's a creepy guy is more than enough to get people going.
Have some sequences shot in the daytime, if your effects can stand up to it. There's something about seeing a monster appear during the "safe" time that is really horrifying.
>> whatatroy !!jtTqSsN+V0O 11/08/10(Mon)19:04 No.6163133
Well, a few words of advice:
1) Make it in a world where EverymanHYBRID, Marble Hornets, Tribe Twelve etc doesn't exist. You'll end up having your characters rely too heavily on them if you do, even if you don't realize it.
2) Have some scenes where Slender Man actually physically attacks somebody. Sure, in MH Alex had some blood on him and in everymanHYBRID Evan got his shit fucked up a a little, but I'm talking organs everywhere and people impaled on trees.
3) No Operator symbols. Seriously, that shit was from MH and now it's been seriously overdone.
>> Anonymous 11/08/10(Mon)19:09 No.6163183
Slendy should absolutely not be "captured" or "defeated" in the end, that just destroys the fear.
Make the characters draw sketches of him but show the real thing as little as possible.
Nursery rhymes and musicboxes (dunno the correct term, those creepy ass boxes which play simple melodies).
And we need someone going insane because he's seeing Slendy, but in the end he won't get taken.
>> Anonymous 11/08/10(Mon)19:11 No.6163201
Yeah, I kinda figured.
I want there to be somewhat of a history, like knowledge the character can look into. But it won't have to much. Just some findings.
And I guess what I CAN give you is the "After movie text" So you can see what direction I am going.
"After a couple of weeks, the police were asked to investigate a missing family, when they checked the house they found a camera with footage of some weird activity, along with blood stained floors all over the house. The bodies of the mother and the baby were not found, but the 16 year old son was found lying in the kitchen with no organs. The cause of the death and disappearances were never found."
>> Anonymous 11/08/10(Mon)19:13 No.6163225
I would NEVER make it so that slendy was captured, that defeats the purpose of a horror movie.
I think slendy should be shown in moderation to induce more fear on the characters, leaving the audience more thrilled.

Or, for a less subtle but equally mindfucky approach, do the same shit as above, except instead of having a tentacle slither past the camera, have Slenderman rise up so that his head is visible in the backseat mirror.

I go to put some ramen in the microwave, the camera is at a sideview, also showing the window in my kitchen.
So I open the microwave and put in ramen, I close it and begin to cook, and as I shut it, you see slenderman in the window, but I don't notice it.
Good?

No, no, no.
What you should do is simply have a scene where some characters are talking in their house at night. They can be discussing anything, it doesn't matter. And then as they talk, there's a window in the background. Have Slenderman peek in through the window and have him remain there for a good minute or two, but never have the camera focus directly on him and don't have the characters notice he's there at all. Then just have him leave unnoticed. Think of that one scene from the Strangers where the burlap sack guy walks into the background and stays there for a whole minute before disappearing, but a little less noticeable.

Good, but in my opinion you're gonna have to have more scare tactics then him just subtly showing up in reflections.
As much as we all hate them, you're gonna have to have some pop up moments to scare a certain audience, as well as mindfuck scares for another audience.
Also, the pop ups shouldn't be predictable like in most movies, where they have music getting louder and louder so you kind of expect it. Make it sudden, so it scares the shit out of people not predicting it.

For Slenderman, I think maybe you should try to find a tall, slim figured actor and then maybe get a decent suit and something for the face since you're on a low budget. Not really sure how that would turn out though.

Tall actor, good suit, put something in shoes to make him a little taller.
You can get rid of the face by putting light, pale cloth over his head and then editing out what's left with simple software editing.
Alternatively, stilts. Expensive to buy, but relatively cheap to make.
Or, you could make a Slendy yourself. Pic related.

Just be really careful with how much you show Slenderman, I think you should seriously cut the popup/slendy unnoticed in the background moments to minimum and focus on mindfucking people with the feeling of unseen terror. That way you don't need to worry about the actor so much either, since he will only be showing in crucial moments.
And I support the slithering through keyhole and around the door idea.

The mind is an easy thing to manipulate.
But I want it to mindfuck and scare the hell out of people.
The audience knowing something that the character doesn't gives themself a certain fear, knowing that behind their back, the same thing could be watching them.
Mindfucking is good, and I plan on doing it. But I also want to legitimately scare people.

HERE ARE 3 TRAILERS ME AND MY BROTHER HAVE COME UP WITH WHICH WE THOUGHT WOULD BE FUCKING AWESOME FOR A SLENDER MAN MOVIE:
1. A small girl is playing in a sandbox but suddenly shit gets foggy. The camera pans around her as she looks up to see a vague shadow of a very tall man in the fog. She then, without saying a word, gets up and walks into it. As she disappears into the mist, the camera cuts out.
2. A guy is in a shitty apartment scrawling on a desk. The light above him begins to frantically flicker and on one of the flickers a tall shadow is seen cast across the wall behind him before the light finally blows.
3. A kid is seen in his room, at his computer, chatting on an instant messenger. You see him just finishing up what is obviously a Slender Man story saying "And they say that the bodies were split open, and some of them were never found at all..." and then whoever he's chatting with responds with "Dude, don't talk about that kind of stuff" and the kid replies saying "Why? It's bullshit anyways lol" and in the reflection of the computer screen you can see Slender Man's head peek in through the slightly opened door behind the kid.
Opinions?

Okay, ideas. You should have a scene in a character's house. They have a dog and it's looking (poking its head) out a window with curtains and barking at something off screen. The character is like "(dog's name here) what are you barking at?" then they go to check it out and just see a tall, slender shadow seemingly stare at them, wanting something
That's all i got so far.

Basically, the main character begins to see and experience weird things. So he begins doing research and trying to found out what is going on. The more he researches, the more he mentally breaks down, realizing that slenderman could very well be stalking him.
He tries to document some of the weird things he is finding and some of the stuff that is happening.
So it's a battle of self struggle and fear.
But, I also want to put in some stuff involving police investigation and missing people.
