I promised to do a contest a little over a month ago, and it was supposed to happen long before now. Some shit came up, so I'm just now getting around to it. Better late than neva, right!? Anyhoo, I'm gonna be giving away a copy of the Synapse Intruder Blu-ray, because I own a copy myself and it's badass and no one should be without it! Here's some things about this release...
- All-New 2K Digital Restoration of the Original Uncensored Director's Cut
- Audio Commentary with Writer/Director Scott Spiegel and Producer Lawrence Bender
- Slashed Prices: The Making of Intruder - An All-New Featurette/Retrospective
- Extended "Murder" Sequences from the Original Workprint
- Outtakes From the Now-Lost Short Film, Night Crew
- Original Cast Audition Footage
- Behind-The-Scenes Still Gallery
- Original Theatrical Trailer... and More!
Synapse went all out for this beast. Since this is the first real giveaway at 'Back on Line. Back on Duty.', I wanted to keep things fairly simple, but fun and interesting as I could, as well. So, I'm giving you 3 options on how to do this to win this disc.
- I want a synopsis of what you think would be a good follow-up to Intruder. It can really be anything you want, it could be the next day or twenty years from the first film... whatever! I just want to hear your ideas of what happened after the events of the first film!
- I always thought the setting of Intruder, a grocery store, was pretty damn unique and interesting for a slasher. Sure, there's been scenes of carnage and horror at such a place before, but the setting here is definitely one big reason that made me like this film. So, I would like to hear your ideas on another less conventional setting for a slasher film. It can be anything you want, just not something we have seen a hundred times already!
- Mix 1 & 2 together! Maybe you were thinking of doing that already. Awesome, if so! You don't have to, and with just doing 2, you don't have to make it an Intruder follow-up. 3 options, pick whichever you like!
You can leave your answers here in the comments section of this post, or you can drop me an inbox message on my Robocop's Sad Side Facebook page. Which ever works for you. In the end, I'm gonna pick 5 favorite answers (or 10, depending on how many people enter), write them down on paper and do the luck of the draw out of a hat shit. Yep, this is how it's going down. This contest will run now until Monday, April 30th at midnight. The winner will be announced on May 1st. Good luck!
Edit: Please leave your email address and name along with your answer. Gah I'm a derp derp.
Sequel to Intruders: should take place ten years later and should mimick the plot used in Clerks 2. Move the venue to a fast food restaurant. Have a couple of deep fried kills and some kills that work off the branding of said faux fast food chain. Should include cameos of some od the cast as new characters (the Raimis included). Call it the Extruder: Intruder 2 RETAILED TO DEATH. Love the contest idea.

Thank you sir and good luck!
ReplyDeleteThis movie has been on my "to see" list for years. I've never watched it because I've never had access to the Directors Cut, and if I know there's a directors cut available I have a hard time bringing myself to watch an edited version. That's why I REALLY want this prize. Since I haven't seen it, I can't really offer ideas on a follow up, but i do have a couple of ideas for slasher flick settings. You just have to promise not to steal my ideas...
ReplyDeleteFirst, a haunted house attraction. Yes, it's been done before, but it's never been done really well. I've been working in these places since I was 12, and while waiting for a scare my mind often wanders to the mayhem that could happen. Murders could occur in full view of the audience and no one would know it was real. They might even be encouraging the murder, screaming for the killer to do it. Bodies wouldn't even have to be hidden. "Fake" scenes could suddenly turn real. There are pneumatic and electrical devices everywhere that could come into play. Haunts are always chuck full of hidden passageways, trap doors, and mazes and such, so chases could be completely disorienting. Hell, as much as real haunt actors hurt themselves with the props and sets, real deaths there aren't far fetched. Like I said, it's been done in low budget form, but with the resources of a place like Netherworld, it could be amazing.
The other is a deathmatch wrestling tournament. If you don't know what that is, go look at the "Carnage Cup" album on my fb profile. There's a lot of people doing incredibly dangerous and brutal things with a variety of potentially lethal weapons, and the interplay between "planned" and "real" violence could be interesting. Plus, if you filmed it at an actual event, the real life blood and violence could add actual real gore and a lot of production value for no extra budget. It's an atmosphere of barely controlled violence...imagine if it got out of control.
A sequel should take place in present day. There should be no connection to the story other than the fact that it happened 20+ years ago (none of that stupid "blah blah blah, it never happened, parents just tell you that blah blah blah shit, the murders actually happened, and everyone knows it.), and that's it. Replace the setting to a knock off Wal-Mart store (that's still open 24/7, but the doors are locked. Not as gigantic as your typical Wal-Mart, but fairly large. Make it so that since the store is so damn huge, the killer could be anywhere. The deaths would be downright fucking amazing, being that a Wal-Mart has weapons a-plenty, and things to murder your prey that you wouldn't even be your typical murder weapon. Cameos should include the man himself, Bruce Campbell and Ted Raimi as police officers.

I knew I was forgetting something. The contest just had me all excited.
Yeah you're good to go, Nathan. :)
ReplyDeleteI'm thinking the sequel would be something like this:
ReplyDeleteIt took place around some years later, it's the twentieth anniversary of the Walnut Lake Massacre; Jennifer is mentally institutionalized after, in a flashback, it was revealed that in a fit of momentary insanity, she murders Bill. Now, a new set of murders is stringing up in a nearby Fire Station, in where so happens Bill's (insert possible relative here) works as a fire fighter. Someone in their uniform and wearing a face mask is killing them with a fire hose, chainsaw and yes, the occasion fire axe. But who could it be? That angry loner who's starting to act weird after he accidentally let a poor kid burn to death? A disgruntled cop who bears a grudge on the fire team's captain? or is it Jennifer? Who recently escaped her white walls? Whoever it is, they know what Bill did at 89.
I'm not sure if a movie elsewhere, Other than The Deepening, who had used a Fire Station as a slaughterhouse. There's a twist reveal at the climax, pretty much like the original, where the killer is the least expected to snap. In terms of killings, i can picture a forced water-hose down the throat, a chest ripped open against a hard suction hose, suffocation by a shoved in airbag, some chemical poisoning (probably the first murder) and a fire-extinguisher rigged into a bomb (make it a finale)
I'm thinking, if it will be marketed in the now, we'll keep the title easy: Bill: The Intruder.
((Herman Kertez at hermankertez@yahoo.com 8D EXCITED!))
I say the sequel takes place at a Goodwill. They're getting things together for a huge charity drive...but someone isn't happy about it. The killer has some hatred towards the charity like someone with a mental disorder killed his wife in the past and now he hates them all. It'd be awesomely offensive. So throughout the night the killer would be killing the staff to prevent the charity from being a success.
ReplyDeleteTed Raimi has to be in it. He does such a wonderful job of dieing in films. Otherwise the cast would comprise of unknown crazy people they pull off the street.

It's the Fall....horror con season...Orlando Florida prepares for it's annual Screamfest extravaganza. Thousands of horror enthusiasts converge upon the Sunshine State in the hopes of meeting their icons, scoring some exclusive swag, and celebrating all things scary. But someone has a very different agenda...
ReplyDeleteWhen a childhood experience left Eric traumatized, and without a copy of The Intruder on blu-ray of his very own, he sat in wait, plotting, planning, waiting for the perfect time to exact his revenge and take out his anguish on the unknowing attendees in mass at his state's biggest stage.
Able to move stealthily about like the Predator, in and out of a sea of people, all of whom look like would-be killers themselves, Eric puts his plan into motion. Attendees, vendors, celebrities...nobody is safe from Eric's cordless pneumatic slingshot rigged to fire blu-ray discs with the speed and accuracy of a sniper rifle.
Will anyone survive the very first Screamfest to ever truly earn it's name? Or will the legend of escaped maniac Eric be whispered on trembling lips around convention campfires forever?...
Dunno if a slasher has ever been set in a horror con before, not to my knowledge, but I'd personally pay good money to see one.

I think a cool setting for a slasher flick would be a water park or amusment park, something to that effect. Lots of potential!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the chance to win!

You are very welcome. :)
ReplyDeleteIt should be called INTRUDER 2: MASSACRE MANSION and take place 20 years later. Now the Danny Hicks character, who's still a free man since he was never caught, and his brother are being forced to sell their ma's huge mansion. They just can't afford to keep it. Danny is TORN over this and it's deja vu all over again. He starts killing them all....his brother....the four college kids hired to clean the house....the pizza boy. All are gonna die in INTRUDER 2!

Iam thinking the killer returns (of coarse) but only this time he slaughters a group of officials and organizers at a very large and as yet unknown sporting event. As the movie unfolds we discover the killer is in fact on the loose on the eve of the 2012 Special Olympics and it will be up to the special needs kids to save the day and take out the murderous psychopath. Think autistic kids with javalins, relay batans and inflatable swimming wings banding together to take out a legendary serial killer. How fucking epic would that be?
ReplyDeleteHere's a crazy idea I just came up with for a very unconventional slasher flick. The location isn't anything new BUT... well, read on.
ReplyDeleteHow about a slasher film where a guy supposedly dies in a freak hang gliding accident. Years later, he comes back for revenge against the people he blames for the accident (who happen to be having a party up on a mountain peak before they go gliding the following day), but now his crippled body has been converted (and upgraded) so that he can give chase in style: HE WILL BE HALF-MAN/HALF-HANG GLIDER! He chases people up high in the sky and slashes their gliders to shreds and/or swoops down on unsuspecting victims with a noose! Because he is the "HANGING GLIDER!" Excuse me while I go copyright this...
If location is important then uh... well... hmm... OK! How about a slasher movie that takes in a post office? Insane postal worker murders people and mails his victims' body parts to their relatives! Plus he can use corny one-liners like "That looks like a nasty PAPER CUT!" after slashing someone with a knife or something goofy like "The NECK is in the mail!"

if I may suggest a tagline for your hang glider movie, how about "You can run, BUT CANNOT GLIDE!
DeleteHere is my entry for the Intruder Contest, I chose option 2:
ReplyDeleteI would have a slasher film take place...ON THE TITANIC! Think about it like this...there is a slasher aboard the titanic slaying away at the crew members young and old, rich and poor, when the the events of real life begin to unfold. The final confrontation could be with the killer on the front of the ship fighting the protagonist when all the sudden the iceberg hits and impales the killer!

Hope I win!
Intruder 2 would take place 10 years after the events from the first film as the bank forcloses on the supermarket and secretly wanting the land to build a one stop shop mega store that can easily be called Smart (yes it's going to pay homage). Bill returns in a fit of rage and exacts his revenge soon unsuspecting customers and employees, this time around with a higher body count and more inventive kills.. cause the prices aren't the only thing being slashed! One kill I have in mind would be taking a victims head and forcing it through a meat slicer at the deli counter and placing the remaking mangled head in shrink wrap in the deli display case next to the kosher cold cuts. Lol

Night Crew: Intruder 2
ReplyDeleteTwenty years later, a new Walmart-type conglomerate chain (we will call it WallMart) opens up a new branch, on the same lot where the original supermarket stood. The new crew...
That's where I got to before I saw the previous post by Ancestral Damnnation. GREAT MINDS!
Okay, here's take number two:
Twenty years after Intruder, Bill has recovered and long since forgotten the events of the first film. He barely remembers he gave evidence at the trial where both Jennifer and Craig went down for the murders of part one. He has remarried, with kids and seems largely sane - aside from the occasional brutal anecdote - his laughing recollections of the night in the supermarket, recollections where he pins the murders on the kids, the only clue that he might not be alright. One night, after a large power cut, the family find themselves isolated in their semi-rural house, and someone is watching them, and stalking - Craig, driven insane in prison for the multiple murders he is alleged to have committed, plus Jennifer's suicide, he is out for revenge. This time the hunter is the hunted and vice versa. Audience loyalties are divided between Craig, with a legitimate grievance with Bill (like Khan with Captain Kirk) and Bill, who while being a hideous psychopath, is protecting young children and his innocent wife. In the climax, in the attic of the house, Bill fights Craig through the ceiling while his wife and kids hide behind an old chest. In the fight, Bill slips and reveals the hand he played in murdering the people in part one, leading his wife and Craig to finish him off - shoving his head into the electronic dumb waiter and sending it down a floor, beheading him and allowing his anguished scream to change from "AHHHHH" all the way to "hhrrrrrrrrr *hiss*" as blood drips out of both sides of the sever. Craig then makes it with Bill's wife and starts a new life with them.

DeleteOK. So many options and after reading everyone's over the last couple weeks I know I have some stiff competition, stiffer than my dick if I happen to win this beautiful Blu. Lets get to it.
ReplyDeleteI would set a slasher in one of those christian haunted houses, like in that documentary Hell House. I mean there have been a few horror films in actual haunted houses so adding the crazy of Christianity would just multiply the awesome. You could have some kids go to the haunted house as kind of a joke and then end up being stalked by some maniac. So many opportunity's for one liners and puns and the final showdown could take place in the abortion room. Just imagine the kids freaking out as the killer is throwing aborted fetuses at them while they are tying to attack him with a vacuum.
