I recently listened to the “Little Demons” demo. It sounds much like the Nightmare Before Christmas score-simple with vocals and a basic theme plyed throughout the piece. Anyways me being a huge Elfman fan went to investigate this movie and read a shocking script review. For those of you who are not familiar with the film here is what Little Demons is about:
I sincerely think this movie is disturbing. Taking place in 1921, this movie is about three young children that perform in a carnival and have a crazy uncle that lives in a trailer. The three kids and his uncle sacrifice young women in the trailer taking their locks of hair to make them helpers of their mother in heaven. The song Come Along is seducing the young women to come to the trailer to be killed. The uncle eventually is arrested and nobody suspects the kids. A lady and her fionce adopts them and this is where the the songs Little Angels ( The lady doesn’t suspect them at all ) and The Cat Is Dead ( The kids sing this to the lady’s shocked friends ). The kids murder more and more until they come across the fionce’s niece.
This is as far as I know and it is probably wrong. If anybody has any info on this movie or music please E-mail me. Thanks alot!
I got a hold of a copy of the script and read it while inserting the demos from the songs in the appropriate spots. It was great fun! I would love to see this movie get made, hopefully animated, but I’m not quite sure who the audience would be,
(I mean other than the people here, of coarse) because it is really kinda voilent and gruesome, like lock, stock, and barrell gone horribly evil.Beth and Max – Maybe it would be more…funny than you might think. For example: when I first heard of Raimi’s original Evil Dead, I was horrified. However, I watched it and laughed through the entire viewing (except for a certain lone-female-being-attacked-by-woodland-vegetation scene…dear god, that really was horrifying to watch…that one scene made me shudder for days). I’m thinking that same concept might work with Little Demons: having a great “campiness” aspect + the fact that it would be a musical = demented entertainment, at least in my wicked little scheme of things…
-E (who has been listening to NMBC all evening and enjoying it immensely…and is hoping that if Little Demons every gets made into a film, that it will not contain any sort of nasty woodland vegetation attacks ::hurl:
Oh, don’t get me wrong. I laughed gleefully while reading little demons.
When I first read Interview With A Vampire, one of the most compelling things about the book was that Claudia was 5 years old.
When putting together the movie, they couldn’t use a 5 year old actress for a role like that. So that aspect of the story was completely lost, in my opinion. (considering I’ve never seen the movie..Tom Cruise, blah!)
Also taking into consideration that Disney now owns the script, and how they’d have to alter it to accompany all the plush merchandise, I think Little Demons is screwed, sadly.-beth
where can i find the script to little demons? i feel quite left out..
lexi: suddenly.. i feel like copying erika..
L- who spent most of her saturday at disneyland hanging out with a man in a wheel chair and got to go to the front of the lines because of it. P.S: saw the haunted mansion holiday for the first time and it brought tears to my eyes.
Ya really anyone know where to grt the script? This movie looks painfully fun.
It shows up on eBay from time to time.
So does Julian.
aw… you mean you didn’t save it when you bought it? why should they charge money for unpubli- oh yeah.. well, can i, uh, borrow it from anyone? or is this up with the mp3 ethics?
lexi: time consumer, time consuming, consume me.
I got mine off of ebay. Been keeping my out for Julian and Undying Love.
How the hell could a plot like that not be fun? Children, murder, music, Danny–what’s not to love? I really wish Danny had enough time and money to open his own production company, though.
(I’m afraid if the film ever did get made, it would be tainted by Disney. I love The Nightmare Before Christmas, but I’m convinced it was just luck that it made it through production without having to be all sugary-coated sweetness like so much of Disney’s stuff).
And honestly, how can you not love the Evil Dead Trilogy? I mean, of course it’s hysterical! It’s the best cheesy horror ever made!
(And if you don’t think it’s funny the first time around, grab the dvd version with Bruce and Sam’s commentary. Nyyaa! A film has to be great when it’s own people can crack on it)!
Plus, in the authentic bootleg version of Army of Darkness, there’s even one whole sentence about Danny in the commentary! Now, you can’t beat that with a stick–this here is chainsaw territory!
