Hitch!

Nutshell: This horror, slasher, thriller is like THE HITCHER meets Tarantino’s DEATHPROOF!

About me: I am a professional stand-up comedian with over 20 years of experience. In my “previous life” I was a public prosecutor, and have witnessed first hand the horrors one human can do to another. I’ve had a passion for the horror/thriller genre since I was young, I’ve filled my days and nights with stories and novels and movies that peered into the deep, dark wells of human evil. I’ve taken all I’ve seen and learned about the evil that exists in the world, both from real life and in fiction, and have brought these two worlds explosively together.

Overview: We’ve always been taught to never hitchhike or pick up hitchhikers because one of them could be a serial killer...but this time, both are.

Characters:
Bishop: The protagonist/antagonist, a vicious serial killer that preys on unsuspecting hitchhikers. By day he’s a crime/death scene cleaner and knows how to “clean a scene”. As the sun sets he sets out to “hunt” for his next victim, prowling the highways and byways like a predator. With his disarming smile and friendly manner he lulls his victims into believing he will take them to their destination, but once in the passenger seat, and the seat belt fastened, he unleashes unspeakable hell.

Abi: The protagonist/antagonist is as vicious a serial killer as Bishop. Disarming because of her physique and looks. By day a musician and music teacher, but as the sun sets, with violin case in hand, she raises her thumb at approaching cars, and the person that is unlucky enough to pick her up will become her next victim and will meet an end their wildest nightmares couldn’t imagine.

Bishop & Abi both have a desire to wreak havoc in the most horrific manner possible.

Bishop preys on hitchhikers, lulling them into a false sense of security with his warm smile, charming personality and the offer of a comfortable ride, only to later unleash the most sadistic evil upon them.
Abi uses her innocent, almost pixie like features to disarm her victims. Carrying her violin case and with a sweet, innocent smile on her face, the brutality she unleashes is almost unbelievable.

This dark, brutal, short horror screenplay is everything we’ve ever been warned about - never hitchhike and never pick up hitchhikers because the person picking you up or the person you pick up could be psychos, but when both are - the hunter soon becomes the hunted.

As JAWS made people scared to go back into the water, HITCH will make people think twice about picking up hitchhikers or hitchhiking.
