“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 NINETY-SIX:
“My friends and I used to love jumping in the car and driving down to the French Quarter for some chicory coffee and those delicious beignets. Add some horror to the mix, and you’ve got all the ingredients for today’s bad movie pitch.”
– Andy Cosby (Twitter)
“He’s the soul survivor.”
Pitch:
While visiting New Orleans for what he thought was the first time, a young man can’t shake the eerie feeling he’s been here before. People and places ring oddly familiar, and he’s haunted by visions and flashbacks of events that, to his best recollection, never actually took place. After exhausting every other conceivable resource, the man turns to an old friend with contacts in New Orleans’ voodoo underground. She takes him to a Houngan (Voodoo Priest), who informs him that he is actually a revenant – a reincarnated spirit seeking vengeance for some past transgression. As if that wasn’t bad enough, the soul in question was damned, and hell has never been too keen on losing one of its own. With more undead literally on the rise, tasked with bringing him back by any means necessary, the man struggles against the forces of darkness, hoping to unravel the mysteries of his past life before his present one comes to an abrupt and horrifying conclusion.
Nick Says: Fuck. Wes Craven is going make this. FUCK.
