“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 FIFTY-ONE:
“What would happen if you mixed Home Alone with Gremlins? You’d get an awesome new monster movie franchise to rival that of Trimark Pictures’ infamous Leprechaun series. Now if I can only get Jennifer Aniston to do a brief cameo as the mother…”
– Andy Cosby (Twitter)
“Knock, knock… He’s there!”
Pitch:
Agreeing to housesit while her parents are away, a young girl returns home from college, only to be terrorized by the cursed lawn gnome her mother purchased at a recent estate sale. Haunted by the corrupt soul of its former owner, the evil little gnome comes to life and stalks the defenseless co-ed, trapping her inside her own home while it plays a deadly game of cat and mouse. Answering a desperate text for help, the girl’s friends come to her aid, only to fall prey to the vicious creature one-by-one, until only our heroin and her boyfriend remain, desperately struggling to survive the gnome’s ingenious deathtraps and increasingly brutal attacks.
