Pitch your idea for a new Syfy channel movie!

It’s been a while, so let’s do this now: Syfy is known for producing a lot of stunning movies, and the ideas must come from somewhere. Maybe they’ll read this thread and make our ideas into movies. Hey, it could happen.
My idea:

Coyotes Vs Wolves
Bubba and Wayne decide not to go into their families’ meth making business, and instead have their own small business venture - with a lot of guts and a couple of panel trucks, they and a handful of their friends bring people across the US/Mexico border at a steep price. They’re fairly upfront guys and, with the exception of that truckload of kids who died from overheating that one time, virtually all of their “clients” have made it, going on to experience the American dream.

Things go fine, just a few narrow escapes from overworked border guards, until one night when Wayne hears a distant howling off in the desert. Bubba tries to convince him that it’s merely a coyote, with a bit of rib nudging over the joke, but they then discover that one of their associates hasn’t returned from scouting ahead because he’s been ripped to pieces…

What should have been an uneventful border crossing becomes a fight for survival as a pack of werewolves attacks the hapless human trafficers. Will anyone live to see another day?

  • maybe someone should start a thread for movies meant for Lifetime or The Hallmark channel

Terror Turstritch: The Naked Cassandra!

–based on idea not fully realized in “Supergator”

Three of beautiful young coeds in a Florida park are trying out their outfits for the upcoming Skimpiest Thong Bikini contest when they are attacked by a giant mutated cross between an alligator snapping turtle and an ostrich. The giant armored bipedal beaked monster quickly downs two of the coeds in easy gulps, but the third, coincidentally the most bodacious and the skimpiest thong wearer, shrieks in horror and heads off into the jungle-like scrub around the park. The turstritch, as it is called, follows in hot pursuit. The camera does much switching between the hypnotically jiggling flesh of the retreating coed and the impassive yet bloodthirsty beaked countenance of the turstritch. the girl gets a lead on the monster and encounters some hikers, tries to tell them of their danger form the turstritch, but the hikers take one look at the wildly babbling almost naked girl and tell her to lay off the fancy recreational drugs. She runs off, hearing crashing in the distance, and the hikers are shortly thereafter chompulated by the turstritch.

After chompulating the hikers the turstritch makes up for lost time, especially since the thong-clad coed (more jiggling flesh) has encountered another group and tried to warn them, with identical results (chomp, chomp). In fact this process is what constitutes the bulk of the movie, with the naked Cassandra trying to warn people of the monster, they ignore her, she runs off in terror as it reappears, her breasts in constant danger of spilling out of her bra and her tiny thong overwhelmed by the hypnotic rolling mass of her shiny round buttocks, interspersed with scenes of people being eaten, trampled and torn apart by the turstritch of terror. Classic SyFy cinema, in short.

We add depth and meaning by having the people refuse to believe Cassandra for their reasons: the big game hunter is sure his prowess with his big gun will kill the monster, the scientists are sure their scientific know-how will turn the tide, and the elderly preist tries to persuade the beast to renounce its evil ways, but all share a common fate (chomp chomp).

In the end, just as it looks like the monster will devour naked Cassandra as she runs down main street of a large city with the monster in desperate pursuit, the police and the Army all hepless against it, the monster suddenly clutches its heart and falls over, dead. The shock of dragging the huge bulk of its monstrous body and armored shell as proven too much for it! We hear a Scientist intone that the monster has died of a truly massive coronary, having a truly massive heart.

But no, responds Cassandra’s boyfriend who has encouraged her all the way, the only one to keep faith with her by talking to her on her cellphone and actually encourages her to run faster by riding a motorcycle in front of her with a banana dangling from an upraised pole sticking out from behind the motorcycle, “No,” he said, patting her thong-clad butt as the monster lies at her feet, “Twas beauty killed the beast!”

Yah, I think that might gross a few mil.

Maybe, but if we could find a way to add killer piranhas to our films, we’d surely double the profits.

Sure, cross 'em with budgies, have them fly in flocks that devour people, call 'em piranhakeets. Let’s do lunch!

Oh noes! I killz ur thred, LOL!

Twivatar
A nerdy, self-conscious stammering, clumsy, wheelchair-bound ex-marine signs up for a tour of duty on a strange, hostile alien world called “ForkDora”, where she gets transported into a human/alien body, falls in love with a giant male blue-cat-like vampire-alien that hates her and is obsessed with her at the same time, contains glowy, iridescent “black-light” environments, long, staring sessions, stammering, and obsessive-compulsive behavior…

Oh, and EVERYTHING’S sparkly on ForkDora, not just the NaviPires

…oh, and I forgot, the NaviPires also love to play FootBalLacrossEy, the official game on ForkDora

this should be absolutely killer with the lucrative “obsessive loser teenager” market…

Squirrel!

My kids and I put a lot of work into this concept a few years ago.

A crazy pet store owner living in Texas imports a pair of Siberian black squirrels in a crackpot plan to breed them as pets. But the vicious squirrels turn on him. Disoriented by squirrel bites, he accidentally electrocutes himself and sets a fire that burns down his shop. And the squirrels escape into the woods.

Jump forward ten years. The town is the midst of preparations for its annual pecan festival. There’s a new sheriff – a handsome young Mexican-American guy who’s been elected on a platform of reform. Everything seems to be going great (except for the good-old-boys who resent the new sheriff) until the postman makes a grisly discovery. An old man who lives on the outskirts of town is discovered dead in his farmhouse – covered with strange bite marks.

The sheriff is baffled, so he asks the pretty young biologist who’s in town to do field work for help.

“What kind of animal made these bites?”

“If I didn’t know better, I’d say these are squirrel bites … but no North American squirrel is that big … .”

Things follow their usual course. The climax involves thousands of squirrels attacking during the pecan parade, a nasty end for the pecan queen, and the timely arrival of a good-old-boy farmer on a modified combine harvester … .

Son of Dr Moreau: Zombie Wombats

A small rural town in Tasmania is overrun by huge mutated marsupials after a Genetic Scientist (Radha Mitchell) is kidnapped and forced, under threat of torture, by a crazed madman (Hugo Weaving) to experiment on combining human DNA with animals.

The town is ravaged by these horrifying monsters, but is saved when a plucky assistant researcher (Samuel Johnson) discovers where the experiment went wrong, and manages to successfully create giant wallaby-men, assembling them into a ruthless army that wipes the dangerous creatures out.

SharkBear vs. Cobracondapus!

Hell, they’re probably filming it already…

Firecane!

Oil spill in the gulf at the start of hurricane season. A CATEGORY 9!!! hurricane sweeps the spill before it and magically absorbs some into the storm. It’s only a matter of time before a spark from a hurricane hunter plane sets it ablaze.

And it’s heading right for Corpus Christi. During spring break!

Love your concept, HK! Only the eensiest little thing … the title. Let’s face it, “Squirrel” does not really sound SyFyish. I suggest adding a good strong SyFy modifier: How about “Atomic Squirrels!”? Or “Squirrel Squad!” Also, how about have the Pecan Queen as the love interest, torn between the handsome young sheriff and her good-old-boyfriend, who hate each other but have to band together to defeat the Atomic Squirrel menace. And if we can throw some a giant mechanical spider in there, that would be good! Let’s do lunch!

I think that Cameron fellow stole you idea! Maybe if we switched it to robots that look like aliens, but aren’t, and had a dinosaur in there somewhere. Also, need a good SyFy Channel modifier in the title. How about : “Alien Holocaust: Robots vs. Vampires!” Or we could lose the vampires! My brain is percolating now! Let’s do lunch!

Giant Monocular Snakes vs. Crack Whores!

Genetic scientists, madmen, Creatures That Should Not Be, ruthless armies of Creatures That Should Not Be fighting them: Roger Corman called, he wants you to get out of his head!
