Film Title: SnuggieZ

Writer: {Redacted}

Genre: Horror, Zombies, Forbidden Romance

Setting: The Snuggie factory in Portland, Maine, 2032.

Premise: In a world where TV Salesperson/Personality Billy Mays never died and became the president of the United States, mankind has discovered that American consumer's enthusiasm for 2000 aughts As Seen On TV products can be harnessed into pure energy.

One ambitious scientist experiments with the mixing of an unknown substance from outer space and the As Seen On TV phenomenon Snuggie Blanket in an attempt to increase its energy potential.

In a disastrous result, the Snuggie Blanket turns into a living parasite: leaching the energy from the human host who wears it, and forcing it's victim to desire the flesh of its own kind.

Story: This story focuses around a young woman named Alice, an employee at the Snuggie factory. She has a dark past that involves drugs or something. Maybe heroin? She is the one in the factory that colors all the snuggies. Once the alien/zombie snuggie gets out of the “snuggie lab” and starts to infect the other snuggies: Alice will have to use her wit, intuition, and various horror movie cliches to survive and escape the factory.

Themes: Female empowerment, the dangers of Snuggie Blankets, the dangers random substences from outer space, overcoming a crippling heroin addiction.

Why can’t she leave the factory so easily? - Because President Billy Mays sends in the military to surround the factory. They are ordered to kill anything that comes out of the place. Duh!!

How is the monster defeated? - While escaping a SuggieZ in a broom closet, Alice throws some Oxiclean™ at the monster. The suggie bubbles and disintegrates when the cleaning power of the Oxiclean™ makes contact.

Forbidden Romance? - There is like a totally hot official model for the snuggie company (he does a lot of sexy poses with his shredded body that nobody sees because he's always wearing a snuggie). He's from like a totally rich family. Alice is from a totally poor family. So that’s kinda a forbidden love, from a class perspective.

Ideal Cast:

Alice: Mary Elizabeth Winstead

Hot Snuggie Model Guy: Gary Busey

President Billy Mays: Mark Ruffulo (slap a beard onto him and it's good!)

Scientist: Tilda Swinton

SnuggieZ: All motion captured by Andy Serkis (he will be being piggybacked by the “infected” actors most of the time).

Budget: I don't know. Probably like $100 million. That cast ain't cheap. Except Gary Busey, he's cheap I imagine.
