Escape the House

Horror/Comedy feature script for option or sale Picture Monster House as a live-action movie Sub-genres: Contained Horror/Supernatural/Young Adult Budget: Low ($3MM-$5MM) Short Synopsis: A disobedient teenager named Julie and her mom, Andrea, move into a small-town house that’s alive. Knowing it’s alive, their new neighbor, Harriet, warns them so they’ll move out. The house introduces itself as Hank and says it wants Andrea and Julie to be its family; to replace its wife and daughter who died. They say no, so it locks them inside and says they’re not leaving. It tells Harriet she will be the family’s maid. Julie, Andrea, and Harriet try to escape, but the house stops them from getting out. After finding out about the house’s main weakness, Julie and Andrea injure it and escape. Why This Movie and Why Now?: I wrote this script because I wanted to write about teenage disobedience in a fun way. I also wanted to write something that was contained and low-budget. Why make this movie now? There are millions of disobedient teens around the world right now. This movie can change them (and they’ll be entertained by it too). Thanks for hearing my pitch.
