Can we please put the Art the Clown conversation on the Wish List page
After all, Jack is back this year
Well, it wasn't a total Wish List item - we were speculating what might go into Shrek and I was postulating that another 80s film doesn't make as much sense as something like Silence of the Lambs OR a more recent, less expensive IP property like Terrifier or You're Next.
However, I also was genuinely curious how a fan of that franchise would water it down enough to make it into an HHN house.
I've never written scene by scene house stuff, but here's kind of how I'd do it.
Then I won't mention Terrifier again so people don't get upset about Wish List stuff:
1-Start in the pizza parlor. Maybe have Art sitting in the booth and a blonde girl sitting on his lap taking a selfie or something.
2-Walk down the hallway INTO the bathroom that says Art on the wall in brown.
3-Back through pizza parlor with head-o-lantern
4-Through to the apartments where you're stalked by Art carrying his bag of tools
5-The pest control worker steps out to help you and Art hits him with a hammer
6-Head down to the basement where you have a stationary fake doll of the other pest control worker lying on the ground decapitated
7-Cat Lady jumps out at you at some point in the basement with the baby doll in her arms saying something creepy about Art
8-Continue to be stalked by Art in boo holes, and at some point have him on a tricycle riding around in circles
9-Art actor "eating the face" of a doll of Vicky and police come in and shoot him (shooting like Hopper in Stranger Things house)
10-Final room through the morgue where Art rises and strangles the medical examiner.
To answer your question, that would be a rough idea of how I'd write a treatment to make it into an HHN house. Now that I've answered that, I'll drop the Terrifier portion but still speculate that they won't put another 80's house into Shrek.
