“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 THIRTY-FIVE:
“I’ve got a thing for Norse mythology. Always have. When I was a kid, my dad would go on business trips abroad and bring my older brother back these little metal miniatures of the Norse Gods. Pretty cool, right? I mean, what dad does that? Anyway, between sneaking peeks at my brother’s lead figures and stealing his THOR comics, I guess I just developed a taste for Vikings and the like. So this one’s for my pops, who’s probably giving ‘em hell up in Valhalla even as we speak.”

“It’s Hammer Time!”
Pitch:
When a father’s only daughter falls for the lead singer in a Swedish death metal band, he’s horrified to learn that they plan to sacrifice her as part of an ancient Nordic ritual meant to bring about the prophesized end of the Earth. Teaming with the high school music teacher and her ragtag band of glee club geeks, the father fights to save his little girl while battling hordes of mindless teenagers infected by the evil incantations subliminally backmasked on the band’s music tracks.
Nick Says: You had me until Glee Club. This is a fun idea, and a good opportunity to rock ass and then slaughter ass. I personally would make it the most harmonic laden epic of all time but with many mutilations to keep is from being too happy.
