365 days of Sci-Fi (Archive)
“From the mind behind the mega-hit Syfy show you’ve probably never heard of (EUREKA) comes a tribute to all those no-budget Syfy original movies and the “so bad, they’re good” films that inspired them. Move over Roger Corman, step back Ed Wood, make way on your weekend programming schedule Mr. Stern, because here comes Andrew Cosby’s 365 DAYS OF SCI-FI.
And it’s all happening here! Each day, your friends at CHUD will bring you a brand new bad movie pitch — the best of the worst title Cosby can come up with, no matter where he’s at or what he’s doing, rain or shine, drunk or sober. That’s a whole year of the quality concepts you’ve come to expect from the network that brought you MANSQUITO and SHARKTOPUS.”
Day 1 – Day 2 – Day3 – Day 4 – Day 5 – Day 6 – Day 7 – Day 8 – Day 9 – Day 10
Day 11 – Day 12 – Day 13 – Day 14 – Day 15 – Day 16 – Day 17 – Day 18
And now… DAY FIFTEEN:
“I’m liking the whole gorillas gone wild theme, so let’s go bananas and shoot for a double-feature. You with me?“
– Andy Cosby
“Monkey see… Monkey do you!“
Pitch:
When a sex-crazed chimpanzee escapes from a pharmaceutical laboratory to terrorize a group of teens at a nearby church camp, the unsuspecting youths suddenly find themselves in a desperate struggle to maintain their chastity. One by one, boys and girls alike fall prey to the chimp’s unwanted advances, until only a single virgin remains, the preacher’s daughter, forced to defend both life and loins against the lascivious monkey menace.
Nick Says: Amazing. It’s like a perfect blend of Humanoids from the Deep and Footloose, which totally interferes with my pitch of ‘Humanoids from the Deep meets Footloose’. Now, a lot of the success of this idea depends on the size of the chimp. If it’s a regular chimp, while it’s still fantastic I think the stakes need to get larger and larger as the story progresses. Maybe he’s been experimented on. He’s been given steroids and experimental agents as the scientists have kept him on a steady diet of Zalman King movies and a constantly refreshed MILFHunter website. The combination of raging hormones and a constantly evolving chimp (sample dialogue: “He’s at the end of the hall! And his dick is HERE!”) is a perfect storm of super.
