365 days of Sci-Fi (Archive)
“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.”

And now… DAY TWENTY-THREE:
“And now, with an obligatory nod to both Night of the Comet and Red Dawn (two bad movie masterpieces), I present to you… “
– Andy Cosby
“School’s out FOREVER!“
Pitch:
Following a brawl during first period math class, a group of troubled teens are sent to detention (which happens to be held in the school’s old bomb shelter), emerging hours later to find their classmates have mysteriously vanished along with the rest of the world’s population…victims of a mass alien abduction. Amidst the ensuing invasion, our ragtag group of mischief-makers must put aside their differences and work together to save mankind from extraterrestrial extinction.
Nick Says: A great premise (coming from a person currently writing a bomb shelter horror movie – YOU ASSHOLE!) and a perfect opportunity for the next Chris Makepeace to be discovered.
