...six teenagers - one with a forgotten past - and a
haunted house... what could possibly go wrong?...
There's an old house that's been empty a while, but nowit's open for business. Six teenagers find themselvesalone in the house on Halloween. One of theseteenagers - Jay - has a forgotten history that involvesthis house. One by one the teens are brutally murderedas the secrets of their relationships with each other arerevealed. Jay must face up to his past to see his destiny- but will that stop the killing?
Pennsylvania. A house in the middle of nowhere. Dilapidated. Haunted of
course – at least that’s what people say. And a hard-pressed young mother
living there - struggling to make ends meet - is brutally raped and murdered
one Halloween by stoner teens disappointed at the poor show on display.
Move forward thirteen years. We follow six local teenagers. There’s angst-
ridden Jay, and Samantha the cheerleader. There’s stoner Alex, and he’s
been going out with wannabe-Goth princess Roz for quite a while now. Then
there’s Matt and Shasta. Wow. Good old steady Matt, who loves Shasta like
he couldn’t breathe without her. And Shasta the town bike, who’s stayed
longer with Matt than with any guy in her past.
When a mysterious hand-written flyer appears, advertising Halloween thrills at
a haunted house out of town, the kids decide to check it out. Anything would
be better than the commercial events that dot the area. BORING! Then,
everything is boring to this generation, right?
Come the night and our kids are the only ones at this place. What a bust! And
it’s just a run down house with pumpkin lanterns and some cheap manikins
dotted around. Might as well stay and have some fun here though. Alex has
some good stuff with him, and some beers his dad gave him. Shasta is turned
on by the idea of making out in a haunted house. You can imagine the fun
they’re all having after only a little while.
But are they truly alone? A good question. Seems someone is watching them.
Someone they can never quite find is freaking them out. Is this just part of the
entertainment after all? Then another question. Why does Jay find himself in
touch with this place, with this house? What mystery lies in Jay’s past that he
cannot bring to memory?
One by one, these teens are murdered as the night progresses. Terror builds
on terror until Jay is forced to confront a past that is urging him to re-live it.
Charnel House - where the nightmare never ends. You don’t want to gothere.
Sales from the motion picture will be derived from domestic
and foreign theatrical distribution, sales to television, as well
as money making ancillary rights, such as pay cable,
soundtrack recordings, etc.
Revenues received by the distribution company = the gross
film receipts.
General Partner = the producers
Limited Partner(s) = the investor(s)
Gross film receipts will be subject to distribution and
merchandising costs (usually prints and advertising), as well
as distributor’s percentage (as much as fifty percent). After
these deductions the gross film receipts shall equal net filmreceipts and shall be subject to production costs beyond the
production financing limited partnership investment capital,
such as loans, extended credit and deferred payments to
talent and technical facilities; and partnership overhead
expenses.
After the foregoing deductions, the balance of net filmreceipts shall equal partnership distributable cash for the
production financing partnership, and will be distributed
[100%] to the limited partner(s) until their initial investment is
recouped. Thereafter, partnership distributable cash shall be
distributed [50%] to the limited partner(s) and [50%] to the
general partner.
DISTRIBUTION OF
REVENUES
BUDGET
Shooting in High Definition with a limited number of actors and locations
means that Charnel House can be shot quickly and inexpensively. GoldenDawn Films owns the equipment necessary to shoot and edit this feature-
length project, locations can be acquired for minimal cost, and using
unknown actors on partially deferred salary contracts seals the deal.
Golden Dawn Films is seeking to raise $30,000 dollars in equity financing
to complete this project. Minimum investment blocks are $2000 and investors
at this level will recieve a name credit on the picture under: "With thanks to..."
Investors who put in $5,000 or more will get a "Produced by" credit. Investors
who put in $10,000 or more will get an "Executive Producer” credit.
Movies at this budget level with good stories, well executed have traditionally
made many times their budgets in sales, where, for example, the sale of DVD
rights to only two overseas territories would come close to recouping
production costs in full.
The Xlitherman, written, produced and directed by Golden Dawn Flims'Peter Lancett is being taken to the Cannes Film Festival market and was
produced on a budget even smaller than the one required for CharnelHouse.
Charnel House represents an excellent opportunity to become involved in
movie production investment for very little financial risk.
Obviously, as with any investment, past performance can be no guarantee of
what will happen with this particular project. You should always consult your
financial advisor.
