Synopsis for Horror Trailer

Equilibrium: She goes to school/college and spends time with her friends
Event: She goes into the old house
Recognition: All exterior doors lock- crazy paranormal events start happening
Resolution: Kills herself

A young teenage girl and her friends have what starts out to be a usual day at school/college. Her friend group dynamic is constantly unstable due to the clashing personalities between two of the girls, they constantly argue about who should be in charge of their group. One of them questions the other and thinks that there should be a challenge to sort this out. They decide the best cause of action is a bet, the winner gets to be leader of their friend group. Their bet is can she spend one night in the old abandon house they past every day even though the rumours are it is haunted. She agrees to this bet because she believes it will be easy, she was far from right.


The next day she packs a bag and her closest friend tries to convince her not to go. Her friend researches the house and discovers that a teenage girl was found hanging in one of the bedrooms several years ago. The mystery was never solved, no note or murderer was found and rumour has it that her disturbed soul still walks the house. Ignoring what her friend said, she heads to the house. Upon arriving she finds the front door unlocked. She enters and starts looking round. After a couple of hours strange things start happening. First the doors slam shut and lock meaning no escape. Then lights go out, she enters one room and objects are flying at her. She tries to escape but gets dragged back and dragged down a corridor. In the end the paranoia gets to her which causes her to end her life by hanging herself inside the house.

Key Characters:

The Lead Girl: She is a girl who knows what she wants and won't let anything or anyone get in her way. She wants to be the leader of the group to improve her status at college and isn't afraid to do that bet. Even though she doesn't know what she is getting herself into.

Pressuring Friend: She has a similar personality to the 'lead girl' which is a problem for the group as these two rivals don't seem to see eye to eye much. She decides to make a bet with 'lead girl' to see if she has what it takes to be in charge of their group.

Male Friend: The only male in this group, he is more on the 'lead girl's' side than the 'pressuring friends's'. He wants 'lead girl' to win the bet but doesn't want her to get her so he cautions her about it by telling her not to go.

Comforting Friend: She is a shy, quiet, friendly person who is closest to 'lead girl'. She is the one who informs 'lead girl' about the dangers of being in Anderson House. She is the last person to try and convince 'lead girl' to not go.
