What are your thoughts?
1. A teenage girl is not allowed to go to a party so she drugs her parents with sleeping pills so that she can sneak out of the house. When she returns home she finds that her parents are dead. She panics and gets her friends to help her hide her parents' bodies.
2. A woman in an abusive marriage tries various schemes to kill her husband but only succeeds in killing other people. For example, she decided to shoot her husband when he comes home from work, but when he hears her door open and pulls the trigger she finds that she shot and killed her own child. Later she tries to poison her husband with cookies but mistakenly sends them to her other child's school where there is a bake sell and ends up killing several of the children as a result. Then she tries to set her home on fire, but her other child is killed along with his friends. Finally she sabotages her husband's car, but he loans his car to his brother and an accident is caused killing several people as a result including the brother. Eventually the woman is tied to the other murders and tries to use the battered woman's syndrome defense, but because she killed several innocent people no one has sympathy for her. She pleads guilty to her crimes, but still gets the death penalty. I intend this to represent and symbolize that domestic violence hurts everyone.
3. A show about several teen parents. A couple who got married, but the marriage is failing. A couple planned their baby, but hate each other. A girl tries to raise her baby, but the father is a deadbeat. A boy tries to get full custody of his child because the mother is party animal. A girl in an abusive relationship got pregnant because of birth control sabotage. A girl is coerced into giving up her baby by her well-meaning but misguided parents and tries to get her baby back.
4. A woman sets up her best friend with a physically abusive man as a form of revenge. The best friend ends up murdered by the man. The woman feels guilty and found a shelter for battered women in her friend's name. The woman does everything she can to make sure her role in her friend's death never comes to light.
5. This idea is a TV show about the teachers at a high school. my idea still needs work because I do not think it is original enough or unique enough. I don't think it should be that hard because there are tons of hospital and cop and lawyer shows. It focuses on the lives of teachers and what goes on behind closed doors. Like the school has lots of secrets that are hidden. And there is a cutthroat environment. I feel a little embarrassed to admit my storyline ideas.
dead body is found buried on the school for more than 20 years. The dead body was that of the best friend of the current principal. She was killed after her ex-boyfriend pushed her down the stairs and then forced a teacher who witnessed his crime to help him bury body otherwise he would kill her too. Then said teacher comes out of retirement because she is blackmailed because of what she did and left penniless.
Another is one I mentioned above. Some teachers take some members of the school's female wellness group to volunteer at a shelter for battered women. Later it is revealed that the founder had once set up a friend with an abusive partner, and I think you know the rest.
A psychology teacher and her best friend who is a guidance counselor have an argument. The teacher then destroys the counselors's house by chopping down a tree. The counselor destroys then sets the teacher's classroom on fire. Their rivalry culminates when both try to destroy each other's computer's with viruses which results in all of the computers in the school being rendered useless and results in in all of the grades to be re-added up by hand and as a result graduation is delayed. They realize thie rivalry has come to affect other people and reconcile. Then they team up to expose the woman with the shelter and learning of her secret which she told to anothr teacher who she happened to be dating.
The principal and her husband both work at hte school because of their schedule, she feels neglected by hi because he sponsors several activities and unable to spend tie with her she then gets cheats and gets pregnant by her lover, which causes a huge scandal then there is an explosion in the school and she finds out she was never pregnant. I am not sure about this one.
Another is that the principal and her husband and two other teachers have sex in the school. The custodial staff sees this and spreads rumors which then must be stopped.
The principal has a deep dark secret. She was pregnant as a teen and was in an abusive relationship. Her boyfriend forced her to sell her baby.
To pay pack her student loans the psychology teacher decides to bet on school sporting events. She when several She tries to ensure that the rival school loses by seducing the star player to throw the game. He does not. So she frames him for vandalism since it is believed that without him his team would lose. But the team wins anyway which puts the teacher farther in debt. Then she finds out she is pregnant.
6. I thought about putting a twist on the movie the Parent Trap. The film was based on a novel called Lottie and Lisa. Anyway, in this twist the two twins meet at summer camp and discover that after their parents divorced they separated them, but their parents told them lies in addition to never being told of each other's existence. The twin that stayed with their father was told that her mother was an alcoholic and drug addict who died of an overdose shortly after their divorce. The other twin was told that her mom was abused by her dad and he lost his parental rights. The twins were already furious that they never knew of each other's existence and are furious when they learn about the other lies their parents told them. They decide to switch places in order to get revenge against their parents.
7. Four teenage girls get pregnant. They all decide to keep their babies. Then they find out they got pregnant by the same guy. Since they know that the guy cannot afford to support all of the babies, they decide to have a contest in order to determine who get to keep their baby.
8. A woman is devastated that her sister refuses to leave her abusive boyfriend. Then she discovers that her sister committed a major crime. Her sister years ago decided to play a prank on a friend by putting sleeping pills in her food. However, another friend who happened to be a pilot ate the food. Then he began flying a small plane with 10 passengers and a co-pilot. He feel asleep which resulted in a crash that killed everyone accept for the co-pilot. The woman decided to blackmail her sister into leaving her boyfriend. The sister does it but then starts to feel guilty. She felt that she deserved her boyfriend's abusive behavior because of her crime, ans so she goes back. She also resented her sister for blackmailing her into leaving The woman then has to make the decision to expose her sister's crime or just accept the fact that she has chosen to remain in an abusive relationship.
9. I thought of a twist on the stalker movie genre. A girl is sexually abused by a neighbor. The trauma manifests itself as as an obsessive attraction and she begins stalking him when she becomes a teenager. He does everything to avoid her even turning himself into the police, but she does everything to get to him even following him to prison. I am not sure if there are any characters the audience can empathize with. I thought this could be a cautionary tale.
10. A boy catches his dad cheating on his mom. The dad then decided to bribe him into helping him hide the affair. Also, his sister catches his mom cheating and then blackmails her mom.
11. i thought of a change for #2. The only difference is instead of one woman trying several times to kill her husband it is four battered women who try to make a pact to kill their respective spouses. Only they all fail.
