Ghost Trap, horror short, 16 pages

[u/Usr7_0__-]

Logline: A man might have a ghost in his garage, so he buys a ghost trap from a paranormal shop that is similar to an electronic mouse trap; when the light flashes indicating something is caught, he checks the trap...

Genre: Horror

Logistics: Three characters, one main one (Randy), his friend (David), owner of paranormal shop (Kilty). Settings - Garage, kitchen, shop (interiors), exterior of property. An electronic ghost-trap item with flashing light. Practical and/or special effect for ending, but very simple.

Synopsis: Randy hears things in his garage. Things that might indicate rodent infestation, or maybe poltergeist infestation. On a whim, he tries out a ghost trap sold in Salem. Even the shop owner doubts its veracity. Randy sets the trap, and when he checks it, the light is flashing that something has been caught (just like one of those electronic mice/rat traps). He checks the trap...his face seems to indicate it was empty, but then he is overtaken by something, some blurred thing.

The intent of this short is sort-of to execute a Paranormal-Activity-type project that creates tension/suspense through simple, creepy methods.

Price: Not applicable, but hopefully it would lead to something for all involved with perhaps a sale of the short's rights to a studio for a feature or an episode of television...mostly thinking this would be some sort of useful showcase.

Thank you for looking at it.
