“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 SIXTY:
“Isn’t it about time someone did a big animated Lovecraft movie? I think so.”
– Andy Cosby (Twitter)
“Something’s Fishy…”
Pitch:
When a cargo ship goes down off the coast of an uncharted tropical isle, a small group of survivors wash ashore, only to find themselves facing an even greater threat — a vicious horde of humanoid amphibians with a taste for blood. Seeking refuge amidst the ancient ruins of some long lost civilization, one of the castaways, a professor from Miskatonic University, manages to decipher the arcane hieroglyphs contained within, uncovering the trick to taming the terrible beasts…only to discover that the island still holds another dark secret, one that will ultimately force friend and foe to work together if they hope to survive.
Nick Says: Not only is it a great name and fun concept, it’s the perfect vehicle to get James Spader where he belongs: fighting tentacles.
