Kickass Screenplay Idea: Gotcher Nose

In the tradition of such horror classics as Jeepers Creepers and The Tooth Fairy, we know that even the most innocent childhood rituals can yield a bumper crop of scary horror!

So the deal is, there's this guy, right? Who later generations of horror fans will refer to affectionately as "Gotcher," and debate amongst themselves as to whether he could beat the Candyman - there will need to be to some distinctive visual look to him, I'm still workshopping that aspect and some of the other particulars. Perhaps a cardigan involved. But anyway, there's this guy - are you with me so far? - and he goes around, and he preys upon the unsuspecting by ripping off their noses and showing them to you! ("you" the victim, but also, "you" the audience - we are implicated in the act, by our voyeurism) in a grotesque burlesque of that trick your grandpa always used to pull.

Gotcher Nose. This Summer, Horror Has A Really Dumb Trick To Pull.

We can do better than that slogan. Like I said, workshopping the particulars.
