Even More Inspiration

In my last posting I discussed how I wanted to incorporate a car chase then quickly realized how unrealistic that was, however in the days since a new bad car experience occurred in my life. While driving down some back road by himself at night my friends car broke down, and the car wouldn't even start when we tried to jump it. So him, another friend of mine, and I were all out there until about 4 in the morning trying to start his car until eventually we had to be picked up by his aunt who lived about an hour away. But, this terrible experience gave me the perfect idea for my film opening, while a kids car brakes down one night he is attacked or some sort of thing like this. One scene I am taking inspiration from is a scene from the first episode of Stranger Things in which Will is kidnapped. 

Stranger Things: (Start from 5:06)

I haven't quite worked out the logistics of it but a picture is beginning to form in my head of what I want to see out of it. According to psychologytoday.com, fear of death, the dark, creepy crawly things, scary places, disfigurement, dismemberment, suspense, spooky music, lightning and thunder, and fear of the unusual are what makes horror movies scary and I am confident that I can incorporate many of these things into my two minutes.
