365 days of Sci-Fi
“From the mind behind the mega-hit Syfy show you’ve probably never heard of (EUREKA) comes a tribute to all those no-budget Syfy original movies and the “so bad, they’re good” films that inspired them. Move over Roger Corman, step back Ed Wood, make way on your weekend programming schedule Mr. Stern, because here comes Andrew Cosby’s 365 DAYS OF SCI-FI.
And it’s all happening here! Each day, your friends at CHUD will bring you a brand new bad movie pitch — the best of the worst title Cosby can come up with, no matter where he’s at or what he’s doing, rain or shine, drunk or sober. That’s a whole year of the quality concepts you’ve come to expect from the network that brought you MANSQUITO and SHARKTOPUS.”
Day 1 – Day 2 – Day3 – Day 4 – Day 5
And now… DAY SIX:
“Today, we continue the vampire theme with one of my personal favorites…“
– Andy Cosby
“In Alaska, no one can hear you scream.”
Pitch:
During what was supposed to be a routine hunting trip, retired Army Ranger Jonathan Parker and friends stumble upon an illegal toxic waste dump hidden deep in the Alaskan Wilds. They return to camp to report the discovery, only to find their truck smashed and the tents in tattered ruins. Stranded, with the temperature dropping and no way of communicating with the outside world, the men desperately search for shelter, instead finding a MUTANT MOOSE, horrifically transformed b ytoxic sludge into a bloodthirsty killing machine. Now the hunters become the hunted as the man-eating uber-moose stalks them through the wilderness, brutally taking them down one at a time until only Parker remains, forced to pit all of his skills and cunning against nature’s most unnatural predator.
Nick Says: This one would require deft handling of the titular creature. It’d have to have all the qualities we’ve grown to love in the moose population, but also those of an unstoppable hoof machine. It’d be an FX powerhouse. Bonus points if they employ Sam Raimi’s “Camel Head, Samel Head” technology. I think we all agree when someone mentions a retired Army Ranger for a film like this, Jay O. Sanders is a slam dunk.
