Nice though!

No offence to anyone else here but I thought it'd be better than saying I'd make a film with this in it and that would happen etc etc, I just wanted to share an idea I'd actually thought about and once I started typing I found it hard NOT to give the idea more flesh so to speak.

[Make Them Die Slowly]

I'd redo Dennis Wheatley's novel "The Devil Rides Out" but set it in the late 60s early 70s freak/hippy scene. In my head it looks not unlike Jean Rollins directing "Performance" but with more hairy, naked hippy chick Satanists than you could shake your magic wand at.

I'd pay good money to see that!

I know where you're coming from skankenstoned, I enjoy writing myself. Which is why I'm hoarding my ideas, you never know who might be reading, looking for ideas....or maybe I'm just paranoid...

That would be a totally different horror film.

It certainly would.

Who's gonna give us a plot......?

Drunk
Pool
Barrymore
Senseless
Drowned

Buggered

No offence taken, I just loved how detailed it was!!!

I can see it as a Phantom of the Opera type affair, with a masked Barrymore haunting the set of Strike it Lucky giving everyone the willies.

I would make just an all out action flick with a **** load of gore and death scenes, A bunch of shock scenes, A bunch of Kung Fu fight scenes, A bar fight scene, A car chase scene, A few shootout scenes and it would end in a mexican stand off!
It would star Kurt Russell, Charlie Sheen and Arnold Schwarzenegger and have funny cameos and would have a gang of Bruce Lee imitators.
Basically I would be wasting the studios money for a good laugh but **** it would be worth it!

I would have loved to do what Dario Argento is doing at the moment - shooting a new version of Dracula. It would not be in 3D, that's for sure - who needs this crap, anyway?

However, I'd love to shoot it on classic film - with a nice amount of real grain.

It would begin with a sepia coloured flashback - telling us some real facts about Vlad Țepeș.

As for the plot: basically the way Bram Stoker created it. But - and that's a big fat 'but' - with a decent amount of splatter and one single real nice gore scene at the climax (although I don't have an idea which character I'd pay the compliment).

As for the cast: here you are.

The male main characters:
- Count Dracula / Vlad Țepeș: Graham McTavish
- Doctor Abraham Van Helsing: Jack Nicholson
- Arthur Holmwood: Johnny Depp
- Jonathan Harker: Robert Pattinson
- Quincey Morris: George Clooney

The female main characters:
- Mina Harker: Rose McGowan
- Lucy Westenra: Milla Jovovich

The rest:
- Doctor Seward: Josh Brolin
- James Renfield: Quentin Tarantino
- Maria Ouspenskaya: Vanessa Redgrave
- "The Brides of Dracula": Juliette Lewis, Eva Green, Monica Bellucci
- "The Man from the Woods"*: John Jarratt
- Female Servant Olga*: Conchata Ferrell

As for the production: I don't care. But I sure would love to have Tom Savini doing the make-up.
