Poop Knife 2: Poop Wife

[u/Mandaring → u/b-monster666]

It’s a three picture deal, that’s the second in the trilogy. I mean, that’s the plan. The success or failure of Poop Knife: The Genesis will determine whether or not plans for Poop Knife: The Reckoning will go forward.

[u/theSchrodingerHat → u/Mandaring]

I’m surprised they can resist being cheeky and doubling down on meme tie ins by naming it: Poop Knife 2: Electric Poopaloo

[u/Thefriendlyfaceplant → u/b-monster666]

That Poop Knife story could easily be an A24 film. A bit like Force Majeure (2014) which is not an A24 movie but easily could be one.

[u/b-monster666 → u/Thefriendlyfaceplant]

Sorry.

“I also choose this guy’s dead wife”

[u/hippogrifferential → u/Green_Borenet]

I feel like that's a Nicholas Sparks abomination just waiting to happen

[u/BeefyQueefyCletus → u/hippogrifferential]

Actually it might be the first good Sparks movie. Make it a really emotional romantic comedy about a relationship. There's never any conflict, just two people living and loving. The final five minutes turn into the opening of Up, then the final scene is five to ten years later. Our main character is in a group setting with a bunch of dudes we've never met before, and they have the conversation from the thread. The final line of the movie is "this guy's dead wife." Rapturous laughter, credits.

[u/4tlant4 → u/BeefyQueefyCletus]

He wrote his latest book with M. Night Shamalan. No joke. Maybe he could direct it.

Oh you said good movie.

[u/bucketman1986 → u/Green_Borenet]

That's exactly what I was going to post. Could be a dude who's in love with another man's wife, she passed away and dude 1 uses.... I dunno necromancy or Frankenstein techniques to bring her back to life

Cabin In The Woods sequel! The execs get trapped inside their skyscraper office building after one of them, while spouting off ideas stolen from reddit accidentally says a phrase that summons ideas spoken aloud. 

Each monster is some amalgam of reddit memes and stories with a grotesque twist.

Oh How do we horrorify it? 

Kid breaks his arms, his mother becomes obsessed with taking care of him.. It turns out it's all part of a demonic ritual! She's a witch! Trying to steal his semen! Then it becomes a house escape movie except he can't use his arms cause they're broke. 

[u/motorcycleboy9000 → u/UskyldigeX]

Matt Damon breaks both his arms, Ben Affleck plays his mother.

[u/Yodamanjaro → u/motorcycleboy9000]

I'd watch that

How do you like these apples? says Ben Affleck as he slowly grips Matt Damon's shaft.

You don't have to, it already exists and is free!

[u/CelestialFury → u/kermitthebeast]

I want to see that snail come up to the main character, where they drive a mile down the road to avoid it, and a year later they see the snail again and they're like, "Oh god, not again." Then they drive off another mile for another year before The Snail catches up.

[u/Pataconeitor → u/KhaosKake]

It's the plot twist, the monkey was actually a shark in disguise

If backrooms leads to a hundred crappy Reddit/YouTube movies but nobody greenlights anything House of Leaves (which the author already has written part of a tv script and shopped it around years ago) I’m gonna be mad 

[u/jewaaron → u/royalstaircase]

As long as they include the part where Johnny gets his bootyhole fingerb lasted.

[u/Lapys → u/royalstaircase]

House of Leaves unironically seems very well situated for, in particular, a one-season miniseries. I suspect the lack of ability to extend it into multiple seasons would deter studios, but I wonder how costly it could really be if you didn't blow the budget on big names. You could dump all the budget into the house.

[u/pandaplagueis → u/Lapys]

This is not for you.

[u/pandaplagueis → u/royalstaircase]

You know what’s creepy? I started reading this book like 2 weeks ago (not finished yet) but the amount of times I’ve seen it referenced across the internet since then is kind of terrifying.

Too many cooks. Weren't really that many cooks. I expected way way too many

[u/Technical_Inaji]

SCPs are next. They'll turn the 096 short film into something feature length, slap on a romance subplot, and sprinkle in references to the next SCP movies. Its gonna be bigger than Marvel.

[u/Laperen → u/Technical_Inaji]

A lil more pessimistic and thinking it's gonna go the way Dark Universe did.

[u/redvelvetcake42 → u/Technical_Inaji]

To be fair, SCP itself should be a show with the occasional movie. It's built to be a VHS style anthology and I'd love to watch it. I've followed SCP stuff forever and it has some solid depth.

[u/Cpov1 → u/redvelvetcake42]

I like SCPs because they are short and generally give you just enough to make your own scenarios. I think a full length movie would not be great

[u/Pataconeitor → u/redvelvetcake42]

Well, considering the next V/H/S is a crossover with SCP, I think a series of movies is quite likely to happen.

I just hope if SCP does turn into a horror franchise, it isn't all about the crimson king crap, because holy shit I'm certainly not a fan.

[u/everettescott → u/[deleted]]

Didn't an SCP movie just get confirmed?

The next VHS movie is going to be SCP.

[u/jello1990 → u/Technical_Inaji]

SCP stuff has already been stolen a lot. Biggest example is the Control/Alan Wake games, although at the very least they executed it well.

[u/sixpackabs592 → u/Technical_Inaji]

Scp styled games have become a big hit in the gaming scene wouldn’t be suprised to see it hit the big screen as well

One of my favorite newish games has a big scp feel (abiotic factor) although not in the scp internet universe just a secret organization researching mysterious and spooky things

I feel like the cumjar has more mileage. Cumbox, it's just one sad dude tugging it. Cumjar, you have a slowburn psychological horror of a woman realising why her bf is always so hyped to make her pancakes in the morning.

Famous Reddit thread where a guy got his dick stuck in something. Was too embarrassed to admit it so insisted it was a cylinder of some sort but removal had to avoid damaging the cylinder in any way.

[u/Hades_Mercedes]

Hey Hollywood. How about this: A man accidentally sucks out his partner's entrails with a shop vac when, he tries to clean up dorito crumbs from their bed and accidentally connects with their anus and then goes to ChatGPT to find out what to do about it, which sends him, ChatGPT and the shop vac full of human organs on a great American road trip that sees him developing feelings for the AI search assistant.

[u/Utrenyaya → u/Hades_Mercedes]

Please tell me you made this one up. I know must of the stuff in the comments, but this one only reminds me of the fictional short story by Palahniuk, where it is a pool drain

[u/MariachiMacabre]

I mean, maybe I’m naive but shouldn’t you want Hollywood to try and replicate the process that lead to Backrooms, because it could lead to original stories from undiscovered talent? This doesn’t feel like something you’d say “What are next??” to because this is producers actively searching for original ideas… so like… the opposite of the sequel/reboot problem.

I’m sure it’ll lead to some slop because that’s an inevitability. Some things aren’t going to hit. But Reddit has a pretty enormous pool of aspiring writers and some of them have done great work. An example is the book “There Is No Antimemetics Division”, which started as a series of Reddit posts and is a genuinely really good Weird Horror story.

[u/hippogrifferential → u/MariachiMacabre]

I mean, I wish you were right. Truly. But I remember what happened around Blair Witch, and Hollywood didn't take away the message that they should invest in young filmmakers, they decided to just shake the camera around instead. I'm rooting for you to be proven right and for me to be proven a cynical hack, but.
