I've been thinking of subjects for my next screenplay. I was thinking I'd write a horror script because I've always loved horror movies. But, since comedy is really my strong suit, the script will have to include lots of humor.
I love the old Mexican B movies--the campy Santo films and cheesy K. Gordon Murray horror imports. It'll be like one of those pictures--only intentionally funny.
The story: A tv horror movie host, in a US/ Mexican border town, battles monsters. Like Santo the wrestler who never takes off his silver mask, the movie host wears his costume all the time: when he's at the supermarket, the beach, etc. Here, the host, Roberto Gomez AKA Coffin Bob--not to be confused with Coffin Joe--battles La Llorona, the ghost of an Aztec Andrea Yates, eternally weeping for the children she drowned.
Let me know what you think. I welcome your comments and suggestions.

One of the mexican dudes should wear a shirt, hat or some article of clothing (maybe something different in every scene) that says "loco" on it somewhere... make that guy be the most normal person in the film.
