I sent an e-mail to Mr. G. with the finished screenplay of C&C, and the note for him to just take a look at it since it's complete, and maybe the solid writing, and great characters would make the sci fi element a little less jarring. I also finished the story pitch for the reworked horror idea based off of the same concept of C&C and sent that to him as well.
My other horror movie deals with traps, and Lannie recommended checking out the old Dungeons and Dragons module, "Tomb of Horror." He remembered it had a lot of traps and might inspire some ideas. I found a copy on the Dungeons and Dragons website (the web is amazing and wonderful) and read through it. The Tomb of Horrors is exactly that, the module is basically just one big dungeon filled with traps meant to kill the characters. Some, you can be smart about, and get through, but there are a lot that would require dumb luck to survive. I'm glad I was never subjected to the atrocities of that dungeon. It would have been frustrating and my character would probably be dead.
But it was an interesting read and it did spark a couple of ideas I could rework in my screenplay.
