Pitch, Please Number Four

Welcome back to Pitch, Please, where I pitch sure-to-be film successes inventing movie premises based on prompts that I write with a little help from my old friend, the internet. Last time’s prompt was:

Johnny Jones has waited for his chance, and now he’s ready to be your class president. There’s just one problem: he’s a murderer. It’s going to take more than posters and a neon knife collection to win over a school known for its slightly dead students. But with a little help, anything’s possible.

 

And here, we… go:

 

When he got to Romero High, Johnny Jones saw the hordes of gaunt, deathly kids in dark clothes and thought he had finally found a place to fit in. After all, Johnny Jones is all about metal music, face piercings, and wicked tattoos. But the kids of Romero High are shambling around like a bunch of corpses, and Johnny doesn’t realize he’s the only living kid at an all-zombie high school!

 

When Johnny finds out the class president gets to choose the dance themes, senior field trip, and class song, he knows it’s his only chance to make this school awesome. But when an accidental run-in with a classmate ends up with one of Johnny’s sick, neon knives in the chest of the undead valedictorian, Johnny’s got to run his campaign while convinced he might be a murderer!

 

Johnny’s going to need the help of his ever-cheerful little sister, Jenny, his pet tarantula, Gerard, and every undead kid willing to rage against the machine. Next Halloween, cast your votes for:

 

American Goth. Rated PG-13 for language, violence, and radness.Starring Timothee Chalamet.

Tim Burton, eat your heart out.

Next time’s going to be a Pixar film, I just need to know what’s being personified this time. Please note toys, fish, bugs, cars, toys, feelings, toys, bears, toys, rats, dinosaurs, superheroes, feelings, toys, skeletons, fairy tales, and toys are off limits. So, in one word, the next Pixar adventure will star: __________________
